“Come on and kill me then, motherfucker!” Nathan roars from behind me. “Or I swear to God, I’ll chop off all your remaining fingers for daring to take one of mine!”
Felix’s nostrils flare. “You motherf—”
“STOP!” I yell at Felix, and then I direct my attention at all of them, including Kai, Dylan, Alistair, and Ezra. “Stop! All of you!”
Dylan’s got Kai by the collar, with his knife pointed at his leftover eye while Kai’s knife is pointed at Dylan’s heart. Both of them are unwilling to let go, but they both focus on me.
Even Penelope stops shooting and homes in on me.
“Stop fighting!” I scream. “Enough!”
“Give me one good fucking reason, Lana,” Felix says through gritted teeth, throwing every ounce of his rage into his voice. “They extorted you!”
My eyes widen.
How does he know?
Jason swiftly hides behind a pillar at which Kai just shot, and my pupils dilate at the sight of him.
“You …” I grit when our eyes briefly connect. “Youtoldhim?”
“He did his fucking job,” Felix replies. “Jason cares about you.” Felix narrows his eyes at Nathan. “Unlike those fuckers.”
Nathan still points his knife at Felix. “I’d be real careful about your words if I were you. You don’t fucking know us.”
“You’re Phantom scum who hurt Penelope and her sister, and now you’re trying to hurt my sister for revenge,” Felix says.
“This isn’t fucking revenge,” I explain. “It’s more than that.”
Penelope approaches and places a hand on Felix’s shoulder. “Felix, maybe we should listen to her?”
“You’re delirious,” he tells me, ignoring her.
And I’m so goddamn tired of this that I just give him a hard slap.
He stares at me in disbelief while Penelope steps back to let us fight it out.
“Listen to me! Iwantto be here.”
He just stares at me for a moment before his hand slowly rises to touch his cheek.
“I’m sorry,” I say. “I don’t want to hurt my own damn brother. But for once in your life, can you please listen to me instead of whatyouthink is supposed to happen?”
“Lana,” he mutters.
“All of you, stop and come here,” I bark at Dylan, Kai, Alistair, and Ezra.
After a few seconds, they all stop pointing their knives at each other and make their way to their friends, keeping a keen eye on their enemies, like they’re ready to be at each other’s throats again.
Phantoms on one side, Skull & Serpents on the other.
What a mess.
Nathan and Kai clutch their knives tightly as if they’re ready to strike, but I hold up my arm, and they finally back down. “Let me take care of this.”
“I trust you,” Nathan says.
“Youtrusther?” Felix parrots like he can’t believe his ears. “What the hell is this? You’d better explain fast.”
