Sienna Asma

A Month

Dominic

It's been a month. A month of Mia dead, a month of Sienna being away, a month since I've romantically been with the guys, a month of torture. I've never felt so lost before. I have no idea what to do. About the guys, about Sienna, I'm clueless.

We've found nothing on who could've taken Sienna. The first thing Theo did was search traffic cameras, but that resulted in nothing. Then we asked our connections who had or did have a Soldier before, to see if they knew anything. That also resulted in nothing. And then we even went as far as to ask Chris, the man Asma was seeing, where he might've thought Asma would go. Just in case Sienna wasn't kidnapped and really, Asma had taken over. All of this resulted in nothing.

My relationship with the guys hasn't gotten any better, but it isn't worse. We talk, awkwardly, but never about the elephant in the room. I still cry silently at night when I think about them cheating. The possibility of them doing that never even crossed my mind. I thought we were all secure and nothing would ever break us apart, but they broke me. I don't know if I can ever trust them with my heart again.

"Dom?" Theo calls hesitantly. He's been hesitant to talk to me ever since I started yelling at him. I was angry then, but not anymore. I'm full of despair and sadness now. Now I'm heartbroken and that's mixed with the fear of never finding Sienna.

"Yeah, Theo?" I rub my tired face and close the laptop I had been looking at. I was searching for any crimes that had 'Asma' written over it, but there's nothing. Either she's given up the criminal lifestyle, or they were kidnapped. I don't know which I prefer.

"When's the last time you slept?" His voice is soft and full of concern. I know he still loves me, and I still love him. But he lost the right to be concerned about me the moment he cheated.

"I don't know," I tell him honestly. "Two days ago?" It's hard to sleep in a bed so big and so cold.

"You searched a lot today. Maybe you should get some rest."

"Maybe you're okay with sleeping while Sienna is in danger, but I'm not. I'm not gonna turn my back on her." It comes out more snappy than I intend to.

"I'm not turning my back on her either. But she wouldn't want us killing ourselves over finding her," he tries to reason.

"She wouldn't want us running into the arms of another woman either." I raise a brow, waiting for his rebuttal, but he doesn't have one. Theo knows he fucked up, and he's just as clueless as me for how we could fix this. Do we work to stay together? Do we stay apart? Should we continue to live in this house? Theo stopped looking for a new place to live. I guess he really isn't turning his back on Sienna.

"Just go to sleep," he mumbles before walking away.

I open the laptop again and continue my search.

"Dom. Dom, wakeup. Someone's here," Dean shakes me awake.

I stretch, automatically twisting my head side to side. It's a habit I got from sleeping at the table.

"Who is it?" I groan, looking around the dining room table.

"A couple of Soldiers. They're in the living room," Cole states nonchalantly. He says it like trained killers, who could snap our necks at the word of a command, aren't standing in our house.

"Where?" I ask, standing up and looking around frantically.

"The living room. We woke up and they were already here. They haven't done anything except sitting there." Dean sighs and looks towards where the Soldiers are. When he looks back at me, his eyes are dull. I know he's exhausted, sad, and full of fear. But, I can't help him. I don't know how to help him. I can't even help myself.

"So they haven't asked for anything?" I ask while rubbing my eyes. It's too early for this.

"No," Cole says before walking out the room. I follow and see three Soldiers, two men and one woman with shining golden eyes, sitting on the couch next to Theo. He looks terrified and I want nothing more than to wrap my arms around him and protect him. Instead, I call him over to my side, away from the dangerous people.

"Can we help you?" I question after Theo is by my side. Cole stands behind me and Dean is on my other side.

All three of the Soldiers stand and the woman speaks. "You're the leader, yes?"

"I suppose you can say that," I fold my arms and resist the urge to yawn.

"We're here for Sienna. Our people last saw her walking here, but she seems to have disappeared. Would you kindly ask her to meet with us?" The woman stands coldly, her eyes flickering between us all.

"What do you need her for?" There's no need to tell them that Sienna isn't here, yet. These Soldiers could be dangerous, but they might also have information on where she might be.

"I'm afraid that's none of your business," the Soldiers explains, matter-of-factly. 

"Sienna is our business," Dean snaps at the woman.

She looks around the room and at her two comrades. "Tear the place apart," she mutters, spurring the Soldiers into action.

"She's not here," Theo says in a rush. "She's not here and we can't find her."

The woman holds up a hand, stopping the two other Soldiers by her side. "What happened to her?"

"She got taken," I tell them because I honestly believe so. I mean, either that or Asma took control and left. Either way though, Sienna is being held against her will.

"Do you know who?" Her eyes study us intently.

Honestly, we don't know who. We don't even know if she was kidnapped. But if she was taken, then it'd probably be the people Mia was working for.

"You know," the man on her left speaks for the first time. He looks very young, maybe twenty. But all two hundred Soldiers were made at the same time, right?

"Don't lie to us," the woman grits.

"We didn't say anything," I smirk before looking at the boy who spoke. "And what do you think we know?"

"You know where she is. It'd be in your best interest to tell us." He folds his arms but he looks nowhere near as imposing as the woman. Well, the gold eyes can scare anyone if they knew the meaning behind it. 

"We don't have to tell you shit." Dean responds coldly. "Why do you need her?"

It's quiet as the woman thinks. She pulls out her phone and dials for someone. It's deadly quiet as we wait for whoever is on the other side to answer.

"Leader Hill, we're at the house, but Sienna seems to have been kidnapped. Her," the woman pauses "lovers say that she was taken. They claim to know nothing of her whereabouts. How should we proceed?"

Dean taps my hand and I look at him in the corner of my eye. He seems to be questioning our next move. I don't know what it will be.

But I do know that we'll stay together throughout it all.
