Deceptive Harmonies(discontinued)

(This was both my favourite and least favourite chapter to write, lads!)

"They're not turning back!" Astra stated, coming down into the bunker, like cave beneath the ground where Ailith and Austa hid silently.

"So, what do we do?" Ailith questioned standing up from her place.

"Oh so miss leader doesn't have a plan?!" Austa sarcastically snapped.

"Who voted me leader, may I ask?" The brunette snapped back, looking around with narrowed eyebrows.

"It seemed like you did back when we first saw them!" Astra said, just as frustrated.

"Oh mature coming from the chief's daughter, you're born the leader!" Ailith snapped right back, coming up close to Astra.

"Oh am I now? Must have missed everything from the shadow of my brother."

"Oh please! Just stop, no one's pitying you!"

"Guys!" Austa snapped, tired of the arguments going around.

"Oh look who's trying to step up! The one who started this!" Ailith snapped right back.

"Hey, lay off!" Astra said, taking Ailith's upper arm.

The cold brunette scoffed darkly and jerked from Astra. "Make me." She said firmly before leaving the cave, shoving passed her in the process. Astra growled and grabs her shoulders and throws her back down onto the stone cold ground. Before she could make her point Ailith threw herself back to her feet and came at Astra, tackling her into Austa.

They all piled on each other only to be kicked off by the blonde on the bottom then an entire fight broke loose.

The fight between all three sides was interrupted by a loud thud, which made them all freeze on the spot to listen.

A few minutes of complete and total silence before another bang is heard, this time making dust fall from the cave's ceiling.

"They're firing!" Ailith complains. "Perfect!"

"This is your fault! All because of that stupid plan!" Astra snapped.

"Ok that's it!" Austa nearly yells before slapping Astra across the face and then Ailith. "Now when the two of you stop acting like children we can..." She starts but both the stubborn girls slap her right back and at the same time.

Austa stares at them then slaps them both too, and thus began the slap war, which firm scowls escalated to smirks, which grew into bright smiles which grew into laughter as they slapped each other.

Another thud made each of the, yelp and duck nearly as it shook the cave. Another silence.

"I'm sorry for my stupid plan." Ailith admitted, somehow smiling and seeing them all smile made her remembered who she was and it wasn't a cold hearted b!tch.

"I'm sorry for snapping." Austa admitted, missing the friends she's made yet haven't seen in a year.

"I'm sorry for not slapping you when I saw how cold you were getting." Astra joked, nudging Ailith who chuckles at the joke. "So, will we be fighting as friends, or family?"

"Major cliché, but I'll go with family." Austa said, putting her fist in between the girls.

"Family!" Ailith said with a grin as she placed her fist next to Austa's.

"That's right!" Astra states, placing her hand filling the gap. "Get ready for a cringe worthy quote!"

"Here we go!"

"All for one!" The red head starts, making the two others snigger before finishing.

"And one for all!" They all laugh as they throw their fists up.
