Jay's pov:
My eyes turned cold. I didn't hesitate. I moved. Shoved keifer into the storage room.
Getting him back into the venue might be too dangerous as Jare can be targeted. I sent an emergency through my mobile phone. A emergency which was only connected to Jare.
Keifer kept shouting banging the door. Not now!
The guy moved first. He attacked. I dodged. He tried to use his knife, I dodged it by throwing it. I thought this was it. But that-
Was my first mistake. He had another knife on his pocket that I failed to notice. Before I could react. The knife was already on my throat.
I smirked.
The knife was firm on my throat. Not tight.
I twisted his harm, getting hold of his knife and pinned it on his throat. This time I did it instead of him.
tight.
Keifer burst the storage room open panting.
********************************
Keifer's pov:
When I fianally broke the door. I expected to see her alive.
But she went out of my standards.
The knife was so close to the guy's throat that I saw a line of blood flowing slowly.
Very slowly.
Jare and the mythicals ran...while I stood frozen
I stepped closer, trying to reach her. Eliot stopped me.
"Who sent you?" Jare asked his voice low, steady, dangerous.
"P-p-please let me go! I have a f-family." The man trembled.
"That doesn't answer our question!" Jason yelled.
"No." Arthur spoke. His voice catching everyone's attention.
"What is it?" Caroline asked.
"Well. You know who she is don't you....Because everytime we hunt we use masks." Arthur explains.
Hunt?
Sarah moved towards the guy.
"Who is she? and who is he?" Sarah asked. eyes turning dark with anger.
"V-venom. H-he's a C-constrictor" The man stuttered at the name.
Jare cursed under his breath.
"So...why are you trying to kill them?" Mia stepped forward.
"The leader s-said if w-we kill them we get a grand money a huge sum." The man said, looking at the floor.
Something twisted in my chest.
I moved. Grabbed the man and punched him. Jare and Jason grabbed me.
"Let me go!" I growled.
They didn't reply. Neither let me go.
"Prices on your faces....interesting" Savannah said, her face dipping into a smile.
"So....should we kill him now?" Mia asked in a doubtful face.
"How about I do it for you Jay?" I asked her smiling. even though I e=was already killing and punching the man in my mind mentally.
Jay rolled her eyes.
"No. No. I got a better idea" Caroline interrupted.
Arthur smiled like he understood the message.
"How about we use him?" Arthur asked looking for a 'yes' between Jay and Jare.
"Yep. Exactly what I'm thinking. We can use him as a spy." Caroline added.
"We can pay double or triple the prices your leader is giving" Sarah added.
"That's....a good idea" Mia smiled.
Savannah nodded.
While I stood there waiting for permission.
Wait! Why do I need one?
" I think it's better to-" I was interrupted by them.
"SHUT UP!" They roared at me in unison.
I rolled my eyes.
"You spy for us. This is not up to a debate for you!" Jay growled at the man.
He nodded. trembling, fear.
Even I was afraid of this version of her. I have.... never seen her like this.
She seemed to have more surprise than I thought she does.
"We should go!" Eliot said. fixing his tie, straightening his coat.
The mythicals moved.
Jay was the last one to follow.
But I stepped.
Caught her wrist.
"Jay...what are you hiding? Please." I begged.
I needed answers.
She looked at me. Eyes never leaving mine.
I moved closer, slowly...
Giving her enough time to push me.
I leaned closer and kissed her slow. She didn't try to resist. That was enough.
I thought she would give me answers. I pulled back. Both of us breathless.
"Please." I whispered. Forehead touching each other's
"Not now keifer! All I can say is... you don't know anything about me... You will know at the right time." She whispered back.
Right time?
Does that even exist in your world?
You have too many secrets wifey...
But I won't force.
