Everlasting Curse

Chapter Nine- Explosions

  Wes, Hale, Leo and Juliette all made their way to the couch, before collapsing on it and falling asleep. Thea and Hazel shook their heads, one with a smile and one with a frown.

"Hey, Thea?" Hazel asks, and the other girl hummed in response. "Can we explore this house? There's so much of it I've never seen before."

"Why can't you go alone?" Thea asks, shifting her gaze from the pile of bodies on the couch. "It's not like anything could go wrong."

"Yeah, but if it does go wrong, I want to be able to protect you like you've protected us. So that means I have to know where you are at all times."

"Gosh, you're so weird." Thea giggled, before rolling her eyes. "Whatever, where to first your highness?"

"Okay, first of all, you would be the princess and I would be your knight. I'm protecting you, not the other way around." Hazel explains, then she grabs Thea's arm. "Secondly, we're starting from the very top!!"

  It took Thea a second to realize where she meant, and by the time she did, Hazel had already dragged her halfway up the stairs. Thea let herself be dragged up another flight of stairs, into a dusty attic.

"I didn't even know this existed." Thea mumbles, looking around.

"This is so cool.." Hazel whispers as she walks forward, dragging Thea with her.

  Hazel tripped over a box, causing multiple glass balls to roll out. Three of them shattered upon hitting the wooden floor. As soon as they did, a dark gray smoke filled the air. Thea felt something grab her wrist as she was yanked out of the attic.

"What was that?" Hazel panted as they reached the bottom of the stairs.

"I... I have no idea. We should wake the others up though. It could be dangerous." Thea suggested, and Hazel nodded.

  The two quickly walked down the rest of the stairs and practically sprinted into the living room. Thea walked past the couch and went into the kitchen. She grabbed a bowl, and filled it with water. She walked back out and looked at Hazel.

"Let's wake them up." Thea states with a small smirk.

  Hazel gave her a smirk back before focusing on the water. As it lifted out of the bowl, a loud crash sounded in the attic. Hazel threw the water at the couch in her panic, causing everybody to jump up. Thea threw the bowl out of an open window, and gave the group a blank stare.

"We have intruders." Thea says simply, before following Hazel back up the stairs.

  The rest of the group watched them walk away, before quickly running to follow them. Hazel and Thea were at the end of the attic stairs, fear in both of their eyes. At the top of the stairs, three guys stood. The three walked down the stairs, until they were face to face with the two girls.

  The first one had dirty blond hair that was pulled into a man bun, and striking silver eyes. He had a confident aura to him. He looked around until his eyes locked on Juliette, his eyes widened and a look of disgust was present on his face. He stood to the left of the guy in the middle.

  The one on the right had dark brown hair that was in a simple casual style, and dark brown eyes. He was cowering behind the guy in the middle and seemed to be shaking. He flinched when he noticed Weslyn crawling on the ground.

  The last guy had his eyes on Thea. His black hair was spiked and his blue eyes seemed to pierce through her. His confident stance never faltered, even as Thea's own green eyes reached his gaze.

"Who the fucking hell are you assholes??" Hale growls out.

"Well, I know you wouldn't know who we are. Your brain is too simple to comprehend us, seeing as most of your vocabulary is curse words." The one in the middle says, not breaking eye contact with Thea.
