Power in Death: Book 1 of The Destiny in Death Series

Trust Issues

We take a different turn down another long hallway that's on the other side of the staircase. I can hear people whispering and I think it's only worse now that all the guys are with me. Envious looks, furious looks, all of them are tossed at me while lips murmur spiteful words. I wonder what their problem with me is? Is it because I'm unknown? Have they heard what transpired between me and the bitch? The twins don't seem bothered by all the negative attention, Sebastian is practically beaming, Ward shows no emotion, obviously and Cole looks positively murderous. Maybe that's why no one has outright confronted me.

"Why are they all staring at me like that?" I ask no one in particular. "You're the talk of the town love," Sebastian answers which doesn't help. I look up to my right to Eden with a hopeful gaze wanting a bit better of a bloody answer. He smirks and says, "rumors might have spread about your interaction with the headmistress. Mainly due to the construction on roughly 30 walls that happened Sunday. Plus because you're with us" Both of the twin's snicker at my shocked face. Fuck, I knew it. They all know, now I'm the new kid on the block that back hands bitches. Why would they be bothered I'm with guys though? Probably because they're super handsome and judging by the envious looks, they're popular too.

"Don't worry too much about it love, as you are my delicious treat I shall protect you," Sebastian says this whilst gallantly moving in front of me and the twins with a bow and a manic twinkle in his eyes. I just roll my eyes. It's sad to say that I'm getting used to his odd behavior but I am getting more and more peeved off about being just a snack, I shouldn't allow myself to be too bothered about it though.

I blow out a pointless breath and march around him. "We need to figure out what you are anyways so combat class might help," Adam says shrugging. I almost forgot, almost. They are just around me right now to find out what I am, because of fucking Satan. These guys are the only thing I've got right now and I can't even put my trust in them. I think Adam must notice the scowl on my face which I instantly try to smooth out. He stops us from walking, the twins share a look and they drag me into a random door on the right. The others follow closely behind and Cole shuts the door. Ward does something then and I can't take my eyes of him. His silver eyes light up and he chants something unknown to me in a beautiful tongue. He raises his arm whilst facing the door and sparks of silver fling from his hand, hitting the door but not damaging it.

"What did you just do?" I say whilst staring in shock. I know that there's another world now with many different creatures but when you see it so blatantly it's still a shock. "Soundproof." He states simply and quietly. Fucking hell, that explains everything. I stick my middle finger up at him. Whilst the twins and Sebastian snicker I think of the possibility that I may well now be going to hell. I just put my middle finger up at an angel. Oh well, I believe it was necessary to show my disdain at shitty short answers that don't explain a single thing. Cole just shakes his head at me mumbling something under his breath and Ward, well guess what? He just stares at me unaffected. I huff and shrug it off.

"So why have you dragged me off to a now apparently soundproofed room?" I stare at Adam, seen as he's then one that took the lead and brought us all in here. He gives me a devilish smirk, highlighting his piercing on his upper lip creating a slight dimple. Huh, now that I think about it Eden has one on his lower lip. Yes! I pretty much scream in my head. Now I have a much better chance at telling them apart visually. Small victories, fuck yes. I shake myself from my thoughts and stare at the devil twins in front of me. I look around me too, quickly noticing we're in a storage room of sorts. The shelves are lined with tools and other bits and bobs in a basic room. I flick my eyes back to the twins and tap my foot impatiently.
