Sinners We Are

Lindsey Bane

~Xella's pov~

"I WANT A UNICORN! SOMEONE GET ME A UNICORN!" A half-tranquilized Reagan practically screamed at the top of her lungs, not caring about the people sitting in the car with her. This wasn't the first time she tried to drain the breath out of her lungs.

She wasn't supposed to be here, we-meaning I mainly-were going to leave her back at the institute but Skylar got very defensive, debating that she could possibly wake up when we leave and no one would be there to make sure she's oka-

"I WANNA PEE!!" 

(leaving out the part of there being at least a hundred of my soldiers in and around the institute-

"I WANT A FLOOFY PUPPY!!!" 

Then when Ruby and Xavier had both made comments on that, she went on saying/yelling that Reagan is her brother, like anyone's gonna believe her, and that she would tranquilize them both if they don't shut up and bring he-

"SKYIE I WA-!"

I slammed my now tightly clenched fist on the steering wheel, annoyance flooding over me like an ocean as the tires squeak along the road. "Skylar, I swear if you don't shut her up now, I'll drop you both out right here and make you walk back to the institute bare footed." I threatened, my voice low and dangerous.

"What?! Why is everyone so against me today?! What did I-?!" I shot her a glare through the mirror shutting her up. We were in silence for a short while but of course on one can go five minutes without talking in this place.

"So...Xella, why exactly are we going on this mission again?" Ruby decided to question. 

I signed. "I already explained this three times yesterday. I need some very important information from an author, Lindsey Bane." I explained, trying to calm my breathing hoping she doesn't ask for more.

"No, I get that part. What I mean is why? Why do you need this information? What's so important about it? Is there something you're hiding from us?" I could feel Raven's eyes like a pair of needles piercing the side of my head, yet she still hasn't said a word....just silently watching and listening.....

"Yeah, Xel. Is there something your hiding from us?" I glanced over at Xavier, who I've been avoiding this entire time. He narrowed his eyes at me bringing back the memory of our conversation. The look of intense pain in his beautiful eyes as he asked if I did not trust him enough. To say the guilt was eating away at my insides would be an understatement. I couldn't see that look in his face any longer so I looked away as always....running from my feelings as always.

I felt Skylar shift her attention from trying to calm Reagan, who honestly doesn't give a shit right now which I am grateful for, to stare at me questioningly as I couldn't reply. I was starting to get a bit claustrophobic with everyone's intense questioning gazes drilling holes into my skull.

Oh you poor thing. That's what you get for lying, dumbass. Demonella hissed sarcastically and if she wasn't just in my head, she would have been glaring at me too, no doubt. My breathing became short and desperate as I felt like the whole world was against me and I couldn't take it anymore and I knew I was going to do the one thing I am best at.....explode.

I slammed my foot against the x, speeding through the almost empty road. I swirled around cars, almost crashing into some as I felt like the whole world was against me. They screamed at me, trying to calm me and stop me from endangering them all and myself but it was too late to stop now.

This is the reason I tell them not to push it, this is the reason I try to always stay calm....'cause then bad things happen and people get hurt.

Not long after we arrived at our destination, thankfully none of us dead on the way much unlike the poor car.....it kinda somehow ended up with two damaged tires, lots of scratches and a missing mirror....

My anger and frustration now long gone, I got out the car with them following silently behind, still shaken by the experience. I stretched my limbs as I looked at the side of the old run down building with paint peeling off, the night casting a dark shadow over it as I heard a loud screech.

"My beautiful baby. What have these monsters done to you?!" Ruby was kneeling with tear in her eyes as she stared helplessly at the car.

"I'll just get you a new one. I mean you have to admit it was fun at least." I replied to her earning stares from everyone. "What?"

"You're crazy, woman." Skylar commented as I just rolled my eyes at her knowing it's very much true.

"Okay so Raven, Ruby you're taking the front lookout." I pointed to the two front corners as they left. "Xavier, you're taking that corner." I pointed towards the back corner at the opposite side of us. "And Skylar, you're taking the corner closest to the car so you can watch over your girl."

"What! She's not-"

"Just shut up and do as I say." I took the gun out of my back pocket, holding it at my side as I walk towards the door. I rest my hand on the doorknob, cautiously turning it. Luckily it was unlock so I silently pushed it open.

I took a cautious step inside, coughing as dust filled the air only then did I realized that we were too late.

Someone had already gotten here before us.....
