A New Life

What Is He Planning?

(Scarlet's POV)

When we got to Raven Claw, I saw Cassy waiting for us outside the building. When she saw us she started talking to the bouncer then she pointed towards us. I noticed him nod at her as she entered the bar. I got out of the car and Rachel and I made our way to the bouncer. He looked at us for a moment then moved out of the way so we could enter. Rachel looked at me confused as I gave her a smirk. When we entered the place music immediately blasted through my eardrums. Cass waved us over and I dragged Rachel over to where Cass was standing.

"Hey, I'm glad you could come. And you must be the girl whos replacing me. I'm Cassy, but you can call me Cass!" She said talking to Rachel.

"I'm Rachel" After they introduced themselves we all had a really great time. I didn't drink much considering I was on a mission but I watched as both Cass and Rachel poured their drinks back and order more. Once Cassy excused herself somewhere Rachel turned to me.

"Hey How did your friend get us in here without needing a fake ID?" she asked me, I just laughed. Rachel is 20 and can pretty much get in here on her own.

"Cassy has a way of convincing people to do things they don't want to do," I explain to her and she nods. I decided now was my best chance to start asking questions.

"So what was the meeting in the kitchen about downstairs this morning" I saw her swallow her drink and a look of worry cross her face.

"Don't worry about it Scarlet" She ordered another drink and started tapping on the bar.

"Rachel you know I can tell when your lying," I say and she looks down at her fingers avoiding eye contact.

"I can't say Scar if I do your father will kill me." I must say she's doing pretty good at keeping whatever it is from me. What could be so important that they would keep it from me.

"Rachel just tell me. What is going on? Why are they trying to keep it from me?"

"Because if you knew you wouldn't approve. Your father knows that you are close to them," Them? Whos Them?

"Who is them?"

"Shit I shouldn't have said that"

"Rachel who is them? Please tell me what is going on?" she remains silent for a little while. That's when it hit me.

"Oh my god. Aiden! Do you mean Aiden?" I saw her eyes start to well up with tears. That just confirmed that it was him.

"Rachel, what is my father planning? What is going to happen to Aiden?" I started to worry as she started to cry.

"I'm so sorry Scar! I had to go along with it. He knows about the two of you." knows what? The Kiss. Oh no. If he knows about the kiss then he will try to kill him and everyone else there.

"Rachel Tell me! What is he going to do? Please!" I pleaded with her and she nodded.

"He's going to attack their warehouse while everyone is inside. He had someone on the inside tell him when they were all going to meet and where it was. I'm so sorry Scar, but they will be dead by the end of the night," I felt my whole world start to crumble. All my friends were going to get hurt. Aiden is going to get hurt. I need to do something. I can't let this happen because of me. I have to stop this from happening.

"Where are they, Rachel? I need to stop this from happening," she sighs and looks down.

"Even if I told you where they are it won't help any. Your father won't let you or anyone else get in the way."

"I don't care. I can't let him do this."

"I understand but I can't take you to the warehouse. I wish I could, but they didn't even tell me where it was. Only Christian and Xavier plus the team they took with them know where it is, I'm sorry," she starts to drink her next drink and I realize that I have to tell Cassy and get her to take me to the warehouse. I left Rachel at the bar and went to find Cassy. I was racing all around the place trying to find Cassy, but she was nowhere to be found. It was like she disappeared at the worst time imaginable. I pulled out my phone and called her number. it rang a few times before she picked up and when she did I could barely hear her.

"Cassy where are you?" I yelled into the phone and I heard the echo of the music through the other end, so I knew she was still in Raven Claw.

"I'm stuck n the bathroom, the door is jammed" I heard her say and I thought I had misheard her because it made no sense. How could she be stuck in the bathroom?

"Ok, Cass I'm coming, but then we have to leave quickly afterward. I'll explain when I see you." I say and hang up as I race to the bathroom. It was down a long hall and there were 2 girls and 2 men's bathrooms. I just needed to find the one with the door that is jammed. I knocked on the first door and I heard no response on the other end, so I figured that was the wrong one. I knocked on the second door and called Cassy's name. I heard her respond and I tried to open the door, but, like she said, it was jammed. I had to quickly find a way to break down this door. I looked up and down the hall-way and saw no-one was around, so I pulled out my gun from my purse and applied the silencer. With the loud music playing plus the silencer, there would be no way anyone could hear the gunshot. I shot at the door handle making it bust and allowing me to open the bathroom door. Once it was open Cassy came running out.

"Oh thank god. I was dying in there," she said exiting the bathroom and pulling me into a hug.

"I'm glad your out of there Cass, but we need to leave right now. I need you to take me to the warehouse I just found out that my father plans to kill everyone in the warehouse tonight and I have to stop them." I explain to her and her eyes go wide.

"Well shit, let's go then," We hurry out of Raven Claw and she leads me to her car. The entire ride was silent. I could tell by the look on her face that she was worried almost as much as me. It was about a 25-minute drive and when we got there I felt relief wash over me and a breath, that I hadn't realized I was holding in, leave my mouth. Then my world died right before me, as the building exploded into flames.
