"So where did mastermind go?" Felixia scoffs as Alexia enters the room. "He went out somewhere, told me to not bother him" Alexia grumbles, her mind still racing on every plan she could plot. "Why all of a sudden you're bothered?" Ryan asks, his brows furrowed. "It's nothing, I've just been tired since..." She says, her words lingering off to the memory. "Alex, we know you more than anyone... If something's up, you'd tell us right?" Sven says, trying to be comforting. "Alot has happened, and the shit with Zack... I don't know who to trust anymore" She replies, sighing out deeply then looking up with guilt. "Sorry..." She says, putting her hand behind her head nervously. Looking down, she felt even worse that her friends might think she can no longer trust them. "Hey.. Why are you sorry?" Ryan walks up to her, a small smile creeping on his face. "We couldn't control what happened, even if we wanted to... right?" He looks at Felixia direction who was thinking deeply with a sadden
This isn't like his Lily. This isn't like the Lily that he used to know. He looks down to see Lily staring at her feet, not knowing what else to do. All she could think was that everything will get better if she only said yes or no. But it seemed she didn't have that luxury anymore, so she stayed silent. Damien sighed and ran a hand through his hair, trying to calm himself down. He knew this wasn't going to be easy for either of them, but he had to try. He needed to make sure that Lily was okay. "I guess we better get a move on if you aren't hungry, Damien" He says, making his way towards where Damien sat. "Follow me... don't even bother bringing any weaponry, we'll only be dueling barehanded" He smirks at Damien, looking at him down. He follows Xavier outside of the mansion and into the forest. Damien tries to keep himself focused on something else other than Lily as they walk through the woods together. He doesn't want to lose focus, it's dangerous out here in these forests after
Damien wakes up slowly in Lily's arms, rising up careful holding on his arm. He brings out his good hand to signal somewhere and the beams disappear instantly. Xavier huffs out in frustration and exhaustion, he sat on his knees and was trembling. Damien didn't know what to make of his expression but he could tell Xavier was partly embarrassed at the seams. Suddenly he passes out on the ground where he knelt down. Everyone was frantic and Lily's father called up the emergency hotline for Xavier. Lily's mother comes up from behind her and pulls her to behind. "Just because you won does not make any difference on how we see you" Lily's mother threatens out, glaring down at Damien. The rest of the family looked at him with a similar glare; all except Lily who looked embarrassed. The others didn't want to admit that there might've been some truth in what her mother said, they weren't ready yet, so they didn't. "You're nothing but a selfish bastard, going after my only daughter and f
Damien hurriedly arranged the table with the help of Ryan. He was trying to keep up his appearance as if he wasn’t so stressed about what was about to happen at this exact moment, yet his hands trembled and he could feel his palms growing sweaty. His legs were shaking too, but he tried not to show it. "I still think this is a bad idea, sir" Ryan blurts out, looking at Damien's direction. "Why do you say so?" Damien asks, rearranging the bouquet of flowers on the vase for the 5th time tonight. "You yelled at her for thinking stupidly about her insecurities and you're apologizing with food" He explains, taking his gaze off of him and laughing quietly. "You're one mac daddy convertible..." He murmurs to himself but Damien was able to hear it, making throw a daisy at him. "Hey, you can't blame me laughing at this.. a proper apology would have been less of a hassle" Ryan scoffs, then turns hearing footstep to see Sven. "Is it Christmas or are we celebrating our victory on scary the
"You know my girl would kill you for trying to kill our soon to be son in law? She'd probably make sure you didn't have a chance to live another day if I let her." He smirks down at the boy, who simply shrugs, clearly unapologetic. After a couple minutes of silence between the two men, the man speaks once again. "Where is my child?!" Lily's father finally speaks up. He takes in the sight in front of him, taking notice of the man's worn clothes and the blood dripping from his right fist. He must've been involved in some sort of altercation. "You really don't want to know..." Damien says nonchalantly. Lily looks over at Damien in shock, silently telling him to stop and shut the door. Damien merely stood, unknown to him of Lily's attempt to call him over. Lily's father then re-aims the gun on to Damien's forehead looking enraged. "I'll ask again, where is my little girl?!" He rasps out, gritting his teeth. Lily quickly steps in front of him, stopping him. "Let me tell you someth
After Damien had taken a shower, they were ready to go. They all changed into clean clothes and walked out onto the porch. He turns behind him to see Lily following behind. The night before was awkward and had been slightly traumatic. Damien was kind enough to sleep on the sofa to give Lily a bit of space for the night, yet even with his attempt to help her ease from her father's abusive efforts to take her away, she couldn't sleep throughout the night. The sun was starting to set and the sky turning orange. A warm breeze brushes through their skin as their cars parked near the curb, waiting to take them to the hotel. "Let's get going" Damien said, picking up his bag and opening it up to pull out his car keys and sunglasses. "Wait" Lily called out, grabbing onto his arm, making him turn to her. "I almost forgot to thank you" She says smiling at him. "Thank me? For what?" Damien asks, raising a brow. "For being there for me when I needed someone the most, without knowing I neede
Arriving back at home, Mr. Smith stops at the mansion and opens Lily's side of the car. She climbs out and waits for Damien to follow. "You go ahead and make yourself comfortable, I'll be visiting a friend at the hospital... " Damien says, scooching over to her who was looking wary. "It's not him, is it?" She looks at terrified, making him laugh slightly and shaking his head. "You come back home, alright?" Lily says, looking at him worried. "Yes, my love" Damien moves up out of the door frame, waving at her goodbye. Lily turns and walks up the porch, entering his mansion. Mr. Smith stood proudly looking at Damien with a smirk. "You know he would be proud seeing his son grow up to be a fine man" He says, before Damien slips back unto his seat with a large grin. The drive up to the hospital wasn't long, Mr. Smith kept the travel short and entertaining with his chatter of his time with the old man while Damien on the other hand pondered off of what ifs of his old friend. Stopping
Damien felt a sudden rush of shock and anger within him, confusion mixed in as to why she was here. Before he could even reach her paramedics enter with various patients by the entrace, blocking his path towards the woman reading. With each passing person, he tries to catch a glimpse on her until she stands up to leave. Before he knew it, she was gone."Fucking Turner..." He scowls, looking around frantically for any sign of her.Maybe it was just an illusion, he must be seeing things. Shaking his head and sighing, he turns to the exit and goes straight to the nearest fast food restaurant.Grabbing two burgers, a salad bowl and fries, he walks back to the hospital and finds himself sitting in the same spot where he last saw her. He ate in complete silence as his mind wandered off, wondering what was going on with him. It wasn't until the doors opened up again that he snapped out of his thoughts."Excuse me?" A young lady stands before him nervously. "Yes ma'am?" She was a tall blon
