Saint went on laughing while Loki chuckled. “You like grinding his gears. Guess that’s what love is all about.”
“Shut up,” I huffed. I noticed we were moving faster now. Pulling out my old phone, I fiddled with it as a distraction, my fingers pressing on the buttons until I was aimlessly flicking through images.
“What’s the commotion going on in front?” Saint inquired, and I felt like he was asking the driver.
“My apologies, sir. It seems like they’re only letting one car at a time on the bridge. Must have been an accident or something.”
I paused in my scrolling, noticing the way my hand was beginning to tremble. That only made me frown while I caught onto Bria as one of his eyes opened up.
“Are you alright?”
Mhmm. Just fine.
My male wolf counterpart didn’t seem very convinced, but he didn’t poke at the topic as he rested his head back on his paws. He kept his eyes on me, though, which I wasn’t sure I liked. But the soft touch to my knee pulled me out of it as I looked to see Dimitris was staring at me with a blank expression.
“William.” He said my name slowly and I realized the other two were staring at me as well.
“What?” I looked at the three of them before glancing down at his hand. “Did I miss something?”
“Dimitris called you three times, Sweets,” Loki revealed, not looking very impressed at the occurrence.
“You okay?” Saint questioned, showing his obvious concern. “You look a bit pale.”
“I’m fine.” I brushed their worry away just like I flicked Dimitris's hand from my knee. “Totally okay. Was just thinking and shit.”
I glanced out the window to force them to let go of the topic, tuning them out while I stared at the car next to me. My eye locked onto a pair of gold ones, a little girl with ebony skin staring back at me.
The longer I stared at her, the more familiar she looked. She lifted her hand as if to wave, but her eyes nervously looked to the front of the car, as if she didn’t want to make too much of an obvious move.
While her gaze was away, I watched her hand make a specific symbol -a sign for help.
When she looked back, her hands dropped down as she simply smiled - those golden spheres fighting hard to not fill with tears of distress.
I debated as to whether or not I was hallucinating, but as we came to a stop, I knew this was my only shot to determine the truth.
So I got out of the car.
“What the- WILLIAM!” Saint called out, but I closed the door just as the car next to use moved forward as the police guard gave the go-ahead to drive onto the bridge.
“Hold on!” I called out and rushed to the opposite passenger door.
“Sir, this is…Mr. De Luca!”
“Arrest the driver in the car now!” I ordered and opened the back door which was thankfully unlocked. Crouching down, my eyes locked on the little girl’s wide orbs. She wasn’t even in a car seat, let alone had a seat belt on.
The familiar uniformed clothes, her silky black strands that were tied up with gold rose ties, the unique symbols in gold on her hands, and the immense fear oozing out of her in seconds gave me a good idea of whom this was.
What sealed the deal was the folder in the empty seat next to her, the first page displaying a picture of her and the symbol of the organization she came from.
The organization I ran with Onyx and Aurelia.
“Help.” That was all the girl managed to say before I reached in to try to grab her but was jolted right into the leather seats as the deafening sound of screeching tires had the car moving forward.
“WILLIAM!” Saint screamed my name, but I was scrambling to get into the car as my legs dangled out of the moving vehicle.
Instinctively lifting my hand up, my magic flowed to my palm in time to create a shield that blocked the set of bullets that were sent my way.
There was only one way they could go after being deflected. Two loud grunts were followed with the ongoing sound of the horn, revealing the two people in the front of the car were dead.
