Ida's POV
After changing into new clothes, I head down the stairway. Ethan, Jack, Lilith, and two others were sitting on the sofa.
"Hi." I greet everyone.
"Hi. Angelin, I presume?" The man who stood in the corner leaned against the wall. His hands shoveled in the front pockets. The mystery man looked around our age, a strap of his brown hair fell in the front. His blue eyes locked with my hazel ones.
I glanced back to the sofa to find a confused Ethan.
"Yes," I replied to the mysterious man.
"Ida!!" Ethan groans, stretching his legs and pushing his head further into the sofa.
"Everyone, this is Ida." Ethan comes beside me and places his hand around my back.
I pinched Ethan's arm, punishing him for revealing my name.
"Ow!" Ethan jumps, "what was that for?"
Everyone in the room laughs except the mystery man. Neither his eyes nor his face showed any kind of muse.
The mystery man walked out of the dark, revealing himself to the crowd. He wore a sleeveless top. His muscles expanded and contracted at every moment. They were as big and as strong as Ethan's.
"Ida, then?" The mystery man asked.
"Yes."
Ethan pulled me closer to his body, feeling uncomfortable at the mystery man's gaze on me.
"Won't you introduce us?" The man asked.
Ethan nodded.
But before Ethan could speak, the man spoke for himself, "I'm Chris." He extended his hand to shake.
I look at Chris all the way while shaking our hands. He looked back with the same intensity as I did.
Chris had a magnetic pull. Not the kind that Ethan and I shared, but a different pull. A type of pull that made you aware and keep your heads up. Like an Ace in a deck of cards, Chris held power.
"This is Lilith," Chris pointed at the green-headed girl, then at a very charming girl- also about our age, "this is Maia."
"Hi! It's nice to meet you." She squealed in excitement.
"Nice to meet you too."
"This is Harry." The only normal person from the five of them was Harry. He had no tattoos or piercings and also a genuine smile.
"And this is Jake." I know, the guy who could have drugged Ethan and kidnapped us.
"Hello, Ida," Jake emphasizes my name- the real name. He wouldn't stop smirking, and I definitely wanted to whack it away.
Well, being a guest here, I don't think that would be user friendly.
"So, what bought you here after all these years?" Chris joins the others on the sofa.
"We, uh... need your help." Ethan hesitates.
"Why do you think we would help you?" Chris raises an eyebrow and crosses his hands over his chest.
Ethan does not answer back, so I decided to speak instead, "It's for me."
"What for?"
"We're trying to find someone."
"Oh, why?" Chris places a thumb on his chin, showing curiosity in the matter. (Image above)
"We're trying to find a man," I didn't want to mention him as my father, "he runs a business."
