The Right Side

Chapter 6

Averys POV

Delaney and I talk for hours while she brushes my hair and tells me about this side of the world. So many things are different here.

For example, drinking age is at 16 here. In some cases murder is legal. That was a long story. Money system here is the same as it was 1 thousand years ago which is amazing because ours didn't stay the same.

I'm looking at myself in the mirror. I smile. This is the look I have always wanted. Black ripped jeans with black combat boots. I have a loose black AC/DC tank top. I don't know what that is but it's a cool shirt. My golden hair is laying over my shoulders. My blues eyes pop with the light makeup that Delaney added. I smile at the reflection looking back at me.

I hear a knock at the door and Delaney opens it. Zac and Liam walk in first greeting Delaney with a nod. Zac winks at her and she has a little blush. I turn and look at the door and Ash walks in looking Notebook. She is reading something.

"You ready, cupcake?" She says finishing writing down a note and looks up at me. I see her eyes widen.

She clears her throat. "I- uh. I like the hair." She nods and puts her hands in her leather jacket pockets.

Liam chuckles. Zac just smirks and looks at Delaney. Delaney is dusting a counter that doesn't need dusting. I think she gets nervous with Ash in the room. Or is it Zac. Maybe both. No one cares about Liam.

"Alright lets go eat." Zac says rubbing his hands together and pushing Liam out the door. They playfully push eachother down the hall. Ash raises her eye brows playfully at me and smirks. I look down at my shoes. Her gaze is too strong.

"Lets go." She says and I walk next to her down the hall. It's silent but comfortable.

We get into the giant mess hall and a short blonde girl stands in front of us. Well she is short compared to the six foot tan muscle demon standing next to me. She is taller than me by a few inches.

"Hello Ashly!" The girl says with a bright smile. I smile a little at the name. I look down at my shoes. Ash lets out a groan.

"Taylor Trent Zucelberge! What are you doing other than annoying me." Ash says with a fake smile.

"Hey that's not my name. You got the first name right but the rest isn't right." She says was a small frown but it turns back into a smile when Ash smirks at her.

"And Ashly isn't my name and you know that." Ash says trying to walk past her but she grabs my arm. Ash stops and watches her carefully.

"And who must this be." Taylor asks while looking me up and down.

"That's Avery and you will leave her be." Ash says taking me out of Taylor's threatening grip.

"Oh nice to meet you, I'm Taylor. Ash's girlfriend." Taylor says stretching out a hand. Before I could take it Ash takes her hand and slaps it onto onto of the great tables. Ash takes a knife from someone's hand and stabs it into Taylor's sleeve. Taylor struggles too remove the knife.

"Get a life Taylor." Ash says and she grabs my arm as we walk away.

We sit down with Liam and Zac. They are laughing at something.

"What are you idiots laughing at?" Ash asks grumpily eating her food.

"Someone sounds grumpy!" Liam says poking her.

"I will break your nose again." She says and he cowards back. I giggle.

Ash's POV

We were all done eating and we were just talking about the history of our side of the world. Avery was listening intently making mental notes. You can see a little crinkle on her forehead when she is thinking.
