Fuck.
My fist balls at the thought of someone snatching my little kitty. If there’s one thing you don’t do, it’s mess with a guy’s kitty cat.
My Lana … stolen from me.
Someone’s going to bleed empty today.
“Wait … are you telling me the same guys we saved your sister from now went after your girlfriend?” Blaine asks with narrowed eyes.
“Yes,” I reply through gritted teeth. “Except she wouldn’t have been fucking taken if we’d been able to keep an eye on her, which we fucking couldn’t because of that picture Caleb shared, which made her hate us.”
“Which I didn’t,” Caleb interjects, and I scowl at him.
“I see …” Blaine mutters under his breath, and he turns to look at the guys watching us from the door opening to the Tartarus House.
“All right, Caleb, you go with them to save her.”
“What?” Caleb rasps.
“You heard me,” Blaine says.
He runs his fingers through his hair. “I’m not even responsible for this fucking mess, and now I get to shoulder the blame?”
“Caleb. It’s settled. You’re going with them,” Blaine commands.
“Fuck no, I’m not going anywhere with those three—”
“You wanna take it up with Ares?” Blaine raises a single brow.
It immediately shuts Caleb up.
“Good. Then it’s settled,” Blaine says.
“We’re gonna need more help, though,” Milo says, looking up at Blaine. “Please?”
Blaine makes a face and rubs his lips together. “I really have to stay out of this one. I already came along the last time. I can’t keep risking—”
“Yeah, yeah, we get it,” Nathan interjects, and he grabs Milo’s arm and drags him away. “Let’s go.”
We walk back across campus with Caleb veering to the side of the group, staying as far away as possible from us as he can. I don’t mind as long as he sticks around and fights when we need him to. Whether he is or isn’t responsible remains a point of dispute, but if he helps us get her out of there, it might clear him of the blame.
“Wait …” Milo pauses midway past the Skull & Serpent House. He points at his chest, and my eyes widen when I spot the red dot. “Why is there a marker on me?”
“Take another step and I’ll put you all down,” someone growls from the top window.
“What the—Have you gone insane?” Nathan yells at the sniper.
He lifts his head above the rifle, and my eyes widen when I see it’s Alistair. “Might want to check your back.”
As he turns around, Felix pummels him in the face. “You motherfucker! You’re the one who took those pictures of my sister, aren’t you?”
Caleb snorts.
Nathan growls at him, “Ow, fuck! What’s so funny?”
“You punch, you get punched. We’ve gone full circle now,” Caleb says.
A metal barrel prods into my back. “Make one wrong move and I’ll make you crawl for the rest of your life.”
