Silenced

XXXIV| Curfew

It was around three when we finally got back to the Mansion.

We would've been there sooner, but we couldn't help ourselves and played an old game of tag... And since we all are roughly competitive, we didn't stop playing for a while.

Entering the house, the only light on was in the living room... Where Ashton, Rowan, Crystal, Charlie and Oliver were sitting... Waiting...

"Where have you been?" Sis instantly sprang up, her eyes shining with worry. "We thought you were-"

"Crystal." Ash's voice was rough, dark almost... It made her stop and sit down again.

Emerald eyes stared at me as I stared back. They were intense... Dominating and intimadating... All I wanted to do was back down, to shrink and hide! But... I wasn't going to do that, he wasn't the most terrifying person I had to the pleasure of angrying.

"Why were you out of the house?" He grumbled in a softer tone than the one he used for Crystal.

"We went for a run." I crossed my arms. "Lost track of time."

Hot Stuff rose an eyebrow, it seeming like he didn't believe me.

"Really?"

We had another stare off, his eyes shifting to their more natural hazel-green color.

"I don't lie," I simply said turning away from them. "We're going to bed."

There was a heavy sighed before Charlie spoke up.

"You're getting a curfew."

This made us groan, turning to them.

"W-"

"There are dangerous animals around this area and you stayed out late without telling us." Rowan butted in, narrowing her eyes. "So I suggest, just take it."

"B-Besides... It's only a-a ten thirty curfew..." The shy male muttered, biting his bottom lip.

I sighed through my nose, but did as Rowan suggested and walked away. It was late, early I guess, and we just wanted to sleep.

Nice, peaceful, relaxing sleep.
