The Comfort Of Danger

6. The Introduction

I've been watching TV for a few hours. Silas comes out of his office.

"Let's go." He says.

"Where are we going?" I ask.

"To meet the gang. Officially." He shrugs.
I nod.

"I'm scared. They hate me. And your brother is going to kill me." I say shyly.

"They will love you once they see your personality. Don't worry about Jordan I won't let him lay a hand on you." He tells me.

He opens his door and steps into the elevator. I follow. He types in something and clicks on the number 5. We go down one story and it opens up into a huge kitchen. They are all standing around eating snacks.

"Well, well look what the cat dragged in." Laughs Tori.

"Watch your fucking mouth." Silas says.
She shuts up quickly.

"This is Aurora."He says

"You all will start showing her respect. She is who I have chosen to be with. Anyone who causes her pain emotionally, sexually or physically will die with no second chance. Do we have an understanding?" He demands. Everyone nods.

"Good, now Aurora tell them a little bit about yourself and I'll have them do the same." He tells me.

"I-I'm Aurora..my full name is Aurora Rose Johnson. I have 4 older brothers and a sister. My favorite color is pink.. I hate seafood. My father beats the shit out of me and that's where my bruises are from. I know you didn't ask but you were all thinking it. And I'm 22.." I say quickly.

Silence.

And then "I'm Jordan. I'm Silas's little brother. Tori is our little sister and I hate seafood too. Also I apologize for what I did and said to you the other day." He says.

"Thank you.." I reply.

"I'm Tori and I'm not fucking doing this." She walks away.

"Forgive her, she's only 17." Says Charlie.

"Anyways. I'm Charlie, Tori is my gf, though I've been wanting to dump her but the guys won't let me. And I love seafood so we don't agree there. Haha." He says.

"You're stuck with her crazy ass dude we warned you." Laughs Jordan.

"I'm Alex"

"I'm Christian"

"I'm trey"

"I'm larken"

"I'm Owen"

"Nice to meet you all..." I say overwhelmingly.
" We are going to the store. Does anyone want anything?" Silas suggests.

"We are?" I ask.

"Yeah. Unless I shouldn't trust you to come with me." He says testing me.

"No, you can I just didn't know.." I reply.

"No we are good." They all reply.

He nods and I follow him back to elevator. He presses the 0 and we end up in a huge garage with 30 to 40 expensive cars.

"Do a lot of people live here?" I ask.

"We have way more members than the ones you met but they don't live with us. These are mostly are show cars. We have another garage full of unmarked cars we use when we're doing illegal activities." He shrugs.

We climb in his blue Camaro. We take off into the city. We arrive at the store and we walk in. He grabs everything he sees. Food, electronics, video games, hair products, clothes, shoes anything and everything.
