—Shh, Shh, be a good girl or I'll leave you there and I won't let your boyfriend take you out.Did you say sweetheart?-We are not..."I'll jump, I'll pass it to you and you'll take it out," he says to Thomas, completely ignoring me and treating me like a package that had to be passed from arm to arm.—It's almost three meters, you won't be able to climb it.“Don't doubt my magical powers, postman."It's a messenger!" she pushes him."Sorry, it seems that the little girl got angry," he laughs mockingly."Hey, assholes, I'm still here, get me out and then continue playing your Barbie fights!" They both looked at me amused.Ryder put down his phone and jumped down to where I was, careful not to crush me as he jumped. He must be used to it, it was three meters that he jumped as if it were a puddle in the rain.-You are well?-Not.He gave me his hand to stand up and my legs hurt like hell. I squeezed his hand hard but he didn't seem to feel it.“Shit, shit.He caught my elbows before I s
I hit the bag and then another, and another, each time the strength and anger that I was feeling at this moment increased more and more.Ryder Hayes is the most hateful person I have ever met in my life. Everyone here treats him and obeys him like a God, while I implore the Devil himself to take him away as soon as possible.People are now looking at me vigilantly, now the whole fucking circus I'm living in is looking out for me. This is a nightmare. Ryder is my personal nightmare. We hadn't known each other for more than a week and I already hated him like nobody else on the damn planet.It had only been six hours since he spoke in front of everyone in the dining room, and since then I haven't stopped cursing him for a second.I went down to the gym hours ago and I didn't stop hitting the bag, I was consumed with anger that I had never felt for anyone. My knuckles ache, and from standing still and constantly moving, my legs are shaking, but I won't stop.Courtney stands on the other
After breakfast, and if I could do it, we went to train with Nathan and Eddy. They made me do sit-ups and push-ups. I almost died trying.They did it with me and they were like new, they had made a hundred each, and more. But I barely reached twenty push-ups when I fell exhausted. They had fun with me and my suffering."You're a weakling, brunette," Eddy tells me.I would insult you, but you're right. Give me a little rest, Nate.” I lay down on the floor theatrically."You took eight breaks in one hour, Aria," she crosses her arms with a smile on her face.— Put yourself in my place, yes? It's difficult.— I did the same exercises as you.I gave him my middle finger and he smiled.Eddy held my knees to keep me going with the abs."I can't anymore," I said with the last breath I had left.- Rest - release my knees. I had done 30 sit-ups.We sat on the bean bags and Nathan brought out refreshments. — Tell me about you, since when are you here?"For as long as I can remember," Eddy says
When we left the room ready, Ryder was on the other side with his back to us. A long black tail sticks out from under his arm. I shared a look with Angie and she shrugged.- And good? Where do you have to go?” He looked over his shoulder at us and smiled. That terrifying smile that he had was not normal, he never genuinely smiled, in fact he smiled very rarely and it was always towards me, the most mocking, haughty or sarcastic smile I had ever seen.He turned on his feet slowly and I could see what he was carrying in his arms. He was a cat, a black cat. He had eyes so deeply yellow that I thought he could demonize me at any moment. I don't think a simple little animal is a dealer of bad luck when he crosses someone's path. However, this little feline seemed from another world."Good morning, ladies," he caresses the animal's mane, "did you miss me?" he spoke to me, I guess because he saw my sister yesterday."Of course, my days were falling apart without you," I said in the most sarc
It had been a week since we lived in the old barn. Angie and I fixed it with the help of Nick and Caleb. Nathan had returned from Luna's house with some furniture. As it was a Japanese food restaurant, there was an oven and a horizontal freezer, but neither worked. Luckily the guys knew a little about engines and stuff so they tried to fix it.At the entrance where the metal shutter was, they had put the vehicles and further back they installed their exercise equipment that they brought from Luna. They spent their time training, while me, Angie and Nick tried to figure out what the numbers Nick discovered on the USB meant.I thought of theories of everything but none seemed logical. Thomas thought that maybe my grandmother might know something, that really opened my mind and it was like I had been slapped with reality. If she knew that Beckam was my biological father, maybe that's why she believed that she could protect us better than anyone.We'll go looking for her this afternoon, N
When we got to the meeting point, they were already there. There were no more than twenty people. Courtney was the first to approach.- How are the boys?"As always," Nathan replies reluctantly, "how did they manage to escape?"— If what you want to know is if someone saw us or followed us, the answer is no.It is clear that he was not in a good mood, nobody here was."Where shall we go now?""We're not sure it's the best, but it's a good alliance at the moment," I said.Courtney approaches me.— I brought you a present — he signals to one of them to open the car. Panther comes down and comes into my arms. I carry it and caress its black mane -. I figured you wanted it back."I was going to go get him as soon as I could," he purrs in my arms.We got into the cars and they followed us to meet Beckam and his people outside their lot. He got out of his vehicle and approached us with his hands kept in the pocket of his trench coat.“They didn't say help was a killer,” Courtney mutters bef
Challenging DadARIAWhen I told Angie everything, I thought she was going to yell at me and get mad at me for getting me into a fight I wouldn't win. Instead she just burst out laughing and flooded me with questions like, "How was she?" She even looked like she had gotten a little annoyed that she hadn't called her over to watch me wrestle."Nice Sister"The next day when we went to breakfast, surprisingly, none of the boys were in the dining room. That's weird, Caleb eats crap all day, not to mention Eddy who seems like all he lives for is chips.Angie also felt strange not seeing them but she covered it and sat at Heather and her friends' table while I went to get our breakfast. When I came back they were talking about the stupid fight with the stupid bitch."Now that's guts, girl!" Heather tells me proudly."I don't know how you're still alive." Morgan bites into a piece of toast."It was a pleasure." I bowed and handed my sister breakfast.— I saw that Courtney has a smashed nose
I took out a seal that I had saved and rolled her wrists quickly.I dropped him to the ground unconscious and turned to Ryder. The guy was all over him hitting his face like I had done with his partner. For a moment, I stared, a little beating wouldn't hurt that idiot, right?Well well, yeah.I jumped on the bed crumpling the red sheets I had. I kicked the man in the head and he fell flat on the ground. Ryder got up half-limping. I walked around the guy and wrapped the other band around his wrist."You were late," she reproaches me.— Sorry, next time I'll wait until they break your nose.His nose was horrible, I didn't stop to look at it for a long time and it seems that he felt uncomfortable touching it to check how bad it was.We turned and saw the men we came for hanging from chains attached to the ceiling, barely four inches from their feet and the floor. Both were wet, bruised and looked exhausted, one was unconscious. We free them and help them sit on the ground.- Are you okay
