Stuck With You | Five Hargreeves

Chapter 10: Late Nights

After a few minutes of walking down the cold dark streets. The two children found themselves inside their sister Vanya's small apartment. The process of getting in wasn't a problem for either Cassie and Five they were both keen to sneaking anywhere they wanted. Plus, Five's powers are very useful in this sort of situation.

Considering the small predicament, Cassie and Five had at Griddy's, they looked oddly unbothered. They had small amounts of blood splattered on their clothes from the people they just murdered a few minutes ago.

Cassie looked over to her arm noticing how it was still bleeding after she had to rip the tracking device off of it.

"Shit." The girl said looking at it and tried pressing her arm trying to stop the blood.

Five turned to look at Cassie realizing her cut was bleeding more than his. "This is what you get for not letting me help you remove the tracking device." Five said looking at her as he sat down on a chair.

"Seriously?" Cassie said rolling her eyes still making pressure on her arm. Of course, Five was going to put the blame on her instead of asking if she was okay. "That's all you have to say?" Cassie asks Five standing in the middle of the room.

"What? What am I supposed to say?" Five says completely clueless.

"You are unbeliev—" Cassie began to say but instantly got quiet as she heard someone trying to open the door.

Both Cassie and Five stared at the door and as soon as it opened Five turned on the lamp that was beside him revealing a scared Vanya.

"Jesus!" Vanya exclaimed a bit frightened as she saw the two figures in her living room. Only to realize it was just her 2 not so little siblings.

"You should have locks on your windows." Five said, looking at his sister who looked surprised to find him and Cassie inside their apartment.

"I live on the second floor," Vanya started walking inside the room and setting her things next to the door.

"Rapists can climb," Cassie said looking at her sister knowing very well they really didn't climb through the window. Instead Five spatial jumped inside the apartment and opened the door for Cassie.

"You both are so weird," Vanya said as she closes the door behind her and sat on the couch across from Five.

"Hate to admit it, but she is not wrong." Five said and looked over at Cassie who was standing next to him.

Vanya took a closer look at her siblings noticing the blood marks they had on their clothes and got slightly concerned. "Is that blood?" Vanya said.

"It's nothing." Five said coldly as he looked back to his sister.

"Yeah, don't worry," Cassie said looking at hiding her arm behind her. Not wanting to worry or scare Vanya.

"Why are you two here?" Vanya asked still concerned by her siblings' mysterious presence.

Cassie looked over at Five not really knowing exactly why he decided all of a sudden to pay Vanya a visit. One of Five's biggest defects according to Cassie was how he always left her out of the loop. They have been working together for years but Five was always the secretive type. Cassie hated this of him it made her feel like he didn't fully trust her even after all the years they have spent together. He just kept most things to himself until the very last moment.

Five looked at his sister Vanya and sighed at her question. "I've decided you're the only one we can trust." Five said gaining both Cassie's and Vanya's attention.

"Why me?" Vanya asked confused about why her 2 siblings who disappeared for 17 years were acting so strange. All her siblings have always excluded her on any important matters so having Five and Cassie telling her that they could only trust her was really hard to believe.
