My Life - Chapter Eleven

Lucian didn’t want to let Olivia go, as she would definitely get hurt if she got involved. Mitchel must have been faking it earlier. He wasn’t weak at all, in fact he was a good match for Rosen. Rosen was struggling to take his father down. It was too dark to see where the gun was. I was stuck standing there, watching the fight unfold. I didn’t know what to do.

But the moonlight lit up the gun for me. It was almost dead in front of me. I leant down, and picked it up. Rosen and Mitchel were still brawling, at the end of the pier.
“You’re a piece of work, you know that?” Rosen said, clenching his teeth. He delivered a hard blow to Mitchel’s chest. He fell in the water, but grabbed Rosen’s leg. Rosen lost his balance, and staggered backwards, falling in after him.
“ROSEN!” I screamed, running to the edge of the pier. “Rosen! Rosen!”
“Olivia, no!” I heard Lucian shout behind me. Before I knew it, Olivia was standing next to me, desperately searching the water for her brother. Lucian was running after her.


We sat on the edge of the pier, hopelessly waiting for one of them to resurface. There were a few bubbles here and there, but neither of them came out. I handed the gun to Lucian, and said “Keep this warm for me.” He looked puzzled, but then he saw what I was doing. I took off my shoes and socks, then I dived into the water. The only light was from the moon above us. It was difficult to see underwater. I just about managed to see two figures, Rosen and his father. The only problem was that I couldn’t tell them apart. I was gasping for air, lungs on fire. I made a grab for one of them, and pulled them up to the surface.

Once we broke the surface, I saw that I’d pulled the wrong one out – It was Mitchel. Luckily, Rosen followed me up, and he was out before us. Rosen stood in front of his father, Lucian threw him the gun.
“Time to die.” He flashed a quick smile, and pulled the trigger on his father’s head.
Mitchel toppled into the water. A loud splash later, the water began to turn a dark red, then back to the moonlit blue it was before. Mitchel sank down, never to be seen again.

Rosen dropped the gun into the water, and then grabbed a hold of me.
“Robyn, I love you,” He pulled me close, and passionately kissed me.
“Let’s go home.” I smiled, and held his hand. We walked back to our hotel, soaked from head to toe. That night, we became a true family. We dressed in our best, and went out for a meal, with the last of our money. Over dinner, we discussed what we wanted to do with the rest of our lives. Lucian and Olivia were going to live together, not romantically, but like brother and sister. Rosen and I were going to run away together, hop from town to town.

We didn’t care, as long as we were together'♥

My Life - Chapter Ten

Lucian was expecting us to walk out with Mitchel’s body, not with him alive and walking. I quickly explained it to him. To make sure he wouldn’t run, Rosen had his gun pointed to his side. Olivia stood in front of them to hide it as best as we could. Fortunately, nobody was in the lobby, so we quickly signed Mitchel out.
Outside, it was still raining heavily. We forcefully pushed Mitchel into the car park, and found his car. He didn’t make any objections, so some of our fun was ruined, but we still had the big finish to come.

His car was big enough for all five of us. Lucian and I sat in the front, whilst Rosen, Mitchel and Olivia sat in the back, still holding him at gunpoint. The pier wasn’t too far away, but it was still miserable outside. The sky had almost turned black. There were very few stars in the sky.
Rosen drew the ropes and tape out of his bag and secured his father tightly.
Once he was bound, we kicked him out of the car.
Lucian’s jet black hair was flat and seemed invisible in the twilight. His eyes no longer had a glimmer in them, but a pained look. Olivia’s golden blonde hair wisped around her face.  
I could feel the wind tugging at my long brown hair.
On the floor, gagged, and tied up, Mitchel gave me a longing stare. His eyes screamed ‘Help me’. I wouldn’t. I couldn’t.

Rosen levelled with his father. “Do you know why you’re here?”
Mitchel nodded.
“Good. Because after what you’ve done, you deserve a hundred times worse.”
Mitchel looked down, but Rosen grabbed his head up. “Don’t look away from me.” He snarled.
Olivia took a stride towards him. “Rose’ we need to hurry up, I don’t want to look at him for much longer.” She spat on her dad.
Lucian and I just watched for the next few minutes as the prepared for Mitchel’s death.

Rosen ripped the tape off of Mitchel’s mouth and said, “Anything you want to add, monster?”
“Yes, I’m sorry, Rosen, I really am! Please don’t go through with it!” Mitchel was terrified of his son at this very moment. “I’ve learnt my lesson, done my time, I swear!”
Rosen stopped. He just froze. I ran over to him. “Rosen, don’t listen to him! Do it! Do it now! He’s just trying to snivel out of it!” I grabbed a hold of him, and shook him. He just seemed completely oblivious to what was happening.

Olivia was beating her father, screaming various things, such as “This is for mum!” or “See how you like it!” I looked back at her a few times, each time his injuries worsened and increased. Lucian began prying her off once she’d almost knocked him out.
“Olivia, Olivia, let it go.” He slowly dragged her off of her father.
“Not.” She paused as she hit him once more. After a loud crunch, she continued. “Not until he’s dead.” Mitchel was still breathing – only just. It was just enough for him to be able to hear, see and speak, although it probably brought him great pain to do so.

Rosen began to come round of his trance. I was frantically trying to convince him to go through with his original plan.
“Rose’ you need to finish him off. You have to!” I stared into his leafy green eyes. The golden flecks had faded with the recent events. He looked up at me.
“I can’t,” Was all he could say, “I can’t, I can’t, I can’t.”
“Listen to me,” I grabbed his head and cupped it into my hands. “You can do this. You will do this. You have to do this.”
Time felt like it had stopped at that very moment. We were stuck in each other’s eyes. All I could feel was him. All I could see was him. All I wanted was him. I gently leant forwards, pursed my lips, and pressed them against his. It felt even better than I’d imagined. I guess good things come to those who wait. Rosen didn’t pull away from me. We were still getting soaked from the rain. It was like a kiss from a cheesy chick-flick; in the rain and long awaited. The kiss lasted a lifetime, once it was over, Rosen looked up at me, gold flecks intact. He smiled, and kissed me again.

He opened his plump lips to speak, but I put one finger on them, and said “Go. Do it.”
He rose, and pulled the gun from his pocket. He gave it a quick clean with his shirt. His finger was ready on the trigger. Rosen walked up to his father. Lucian grabbed Olivia out of the way.
Mitchel was staring right into my eyes. I rolled my eyes, and looked away, focusing on Rosen. He brought the gun to Mitchel’s head.
“I hope you know it’s your fault for driving Erin away, and her death. Olivia and I only found each other by chance. She’s been living rough for the last few years. And me, well I ran away from the army. For one final mission. To kill you.” Rosen said with almost no emotion.
“Look’s like you’re about to finish that mission.” Mitchel was still staring at me. Then I realised why. Some of his ropes were loose, some undone. He could escape, provided he had the strength. I was surprised Rosen hadn’t seen this.

Mitchel leapt up and punched his son in the face. Rosen dropped the gun. I screamed.

My Life - Chapter Nine

We stood there, looking at each other, completely dumfounded.
“Do you know what room?” I asked, hoping for that piece of key information.
“Yes, 3B, the next floor.”
“Well what are we waiting for?” We all glanced at each other and smiled. Rosen lunged for his bag. It had various ropes and duct tape, along with his gun. It had a silencer on, with one round of shots. We devised a plan that Lucian would guard the door, making sure nobody got in or out of Mitchel’s hotel room. I would scope the room, closing the room off to everyone else so nobody could catch us. Olivia and Rosen would both make their father pay. I didn’t particularly want to see them blow his brains out, but for the sake of our sanity, it had to be done.

“Robyn, you’re the only one he doesn’t know. You need to knock on the door; otherwise he’ll recognise our voices.” Rosen whispered his warm breath into my ear.
“What do I say?” I tried to stay calm, but I was panicking inside.
“Just say something like housekeeping or room service?” Olivia suggested.
I nodded, and positioned myself in front of the door. I took a deep breath, and knocked on the door three times, “Housekeeping,”
I heard rustling inside the room, then a loud shout, “It’s open.”
I turned to face Rosen, and nodded. He swung the door open, Olivia and I followed. Lucian stood guard outside.

I’d assumed Mitchel was in the bathroom or his bedroom, since he wasn’t in the living area. I crept up to the windows and shut the curtains. We sat and waited on the soiled sofas for our victim to return. A sudden wave of realisation came over me. If we killed him here and now, how would we get him out of here? It’s not like you can drag a corpse through the town, is it?
“Rose’, we can’t kill him here.” I kept my voice low. Olivia and Rosen faced me with shocked looks. “We’ll get caught; there’s no way we can get his body out without someone noticing. Also, our prints will be all over this room if we leave him. We need to take him away. Alive.”
They stared at each other, without words, they came to a decision.
“You’re right. We need to ‘kidnap’ him.” He air quoted the word kidnap.
“Okay, so change of plans, we’ll still confront him here, and then we need to get him down to the car park, take his car, drive him down to the pier, and make our final move. It will be dark by then, trust me.”

We barely had time to agree before Mitchel came out of another door.
“What the hell?” He was confused. He gazed over at his two children. “Rosen? Olivia?”
They snarled in synchronisation. Rosen took a huge step towards his dad. “Say another word and you die, okay?”
Mitchel nodded in fear of his life. “That’s hardly fair, Rosen, since he’s going to die anyway.” Olivia thought of a sassy line. I smiled at her, but Rosen’s harsh stare changed that. His eyes pierced through mine. I could see the anger building up inside of him, bubbling at every enraging moment. He would give in to his emotions at some point.

I swept the room clean. It was almost as if we’d never even been there. I wiped our prints off of the surfaces, and we left with Mitchel.
He must have been in his mid-forties now. His bronze hair was now a faded, rusty brown. I could tell the Olivia and Rosen were his children. They had the same eyes. Rosen especially looked like his father as they had the same features. In his prime time, Mitchel was obviously quite the looker. I wondered what Erin would have looked like now, and I’m sure the others did too. It was like a family reunion, except there weren’t any happy memories this meet would bring.

My Life - Chapter Eight

“Rosen, I’ve got something I need to te-“
Kara burst in the door before I could finish. “Hi guys. Rose’ could you come out here?” Lucian followed after her. I’m 99% sure he felt the same as me about her. He and Rosen were best friends, after all.
“Hey, one second Robyn. Kara needs me.”
I sighed, and let him go. “Sure.”
They left, and after about a minute, all I heard was a bunch of angry shouts.

“What the hell! Why didn’t you tell me this earlier?” Rosen screamed. Lucian and I shot each other concerned looks. We crawled up to the door, and listened in on their conversation.
“I’m sorry. I was just waiting for the right time.” Kara sounded like she was crying.
There was a brief silence.
“I missed you.” Rosen was a lot quieter this time round.
“You too, buddy.”

How could they miss each other? We’ve been on a man-hunt for over 3 weeks, together this whole time.
That’s when it hit me. Kara wasn’t who she appeared to be. Her ‘experience’ with dangerous men revolved around one man. Her father. Rosen’s father. They were brother and sister.
Kara wasn’t Kara, she was Olivia Clay.

Lucian also seemed to discover this, as he mouthed ‘Oh My God’ to me.
We returned to our original positions. I no longer had to worry about ‘Kara’ being in the way. Rosen wouldn’t fall in love with his little sister. My chances had just doubled. With a sudden flair of hope, I smiled, for the first time in months, I actually smiled. I had something to look forward to.
Rosen and Olivia came back in, tears streaming down their cheeks.
“Meet Olivia, my sister.” Rosen cried.
Olivia let out a small cry of joy. No words could explain her happiness, but her eyes said it all.
“Welcome home,” Lucian brought the pair of them into a warm embrace, then gestured for me to join them. Just like one, big, happy family, we laughed and talked over dinner.

I took up a mothering role to them, and cooked almost every night, except for when we shifted around and ordered takeaways. Olivia and I grew closer each day, slowly becoming best friends. I trusted her 100% and confident she and Rosen would get revenge on their father.
Rosen was usually preoccupied trying to find his father. So far, after a month of being in Beakbank, we’d caught sight of Mitchel twice. Rosen grew impatient and angrier every minute. It was understandable, but it was really taking a toll on our relationship. Olivia seemed to be able to calm him down quite a lot, but Lucian and I were almost powerless.

I was starting to get comfortable in Beakbank despite its reputation of danger, violence and nastiness in general. I still wouldn’t go out after dark on my own. I needed one of the boys to take me to the corner shop down the road. It wasn’t the reputation that bothered me, it was the idea that Mitchel was walking the streets a free man.

Rosen came running into our room. “I think I’ve found something.” He had a huge grin on his face. The four of us huddled together whilst Rosen explained. “I was in the lobby, asking about our room’s bill, when the receptionist left for a few moments. Nobody else was around, so I took it upon myself to have a quick look in the guest book. They have a registered Mitchel Clay here. He’s in this building.”

My Life - Chapter Seven

Kara was already a better friend to me than all of the girls in my school, and I wanted to get to know her better. From her ‘experience’, Kara knew what to do to get out of sticky situations.
Lucian was utterly gorgeous, and his smooth, suave manner made him the full package. His charm allowed him to convince anyone into doing anything for him.

But Rosen was on another level of sexiness. Every time he popped into my head, I couldn’t get him out. I wanted to help him find his monster of a dad, and hopefully his sisters. From his soft, fluffy hair, to his exquisite eyes, he really was something else. He was strong, physically and mentally. He could have given up all those years ago, but no, he kept going. Some people were born to follow, some were born to lead. Rosen was a leader. Our leader.

Together we could be an elite team of trackers.
Together we could right wrongs.
Together we could kill.

“We leave tonight, if we want to get the job done as soon as possible.” Rosen instructed. “We will meet again outside here.”
We all agreed that the best way to break the news to my family would be to leave a note for them, then give them a call some time to let them know I’m still alive.
Time passed too quickly, and before I knew it the sun had begun to set. I had my note prepared. Holding the tears back, I dropped it on the kitchen table. Nobody was home. I took one last look at my home, and then walked out the door.
I looked around the deserted library. It looked creepy at night. I heard footsteps behind me, slowly increasing as they got nearer.
“Boo!” Lucian tried to make me jump. I rolled my eyes at his childish behaviour.
“Where’s Rosen and Kara?”
“They’re coming, not too far behind me.” Rosen and Kara rocked up shortly after the words left his mouth.
“Sorry we’re late.” Kara spoke softly.
Once our team was all there, we left without a trace. It was really dark out this time of night. I made sure I had their numbers, should I get into trouble. I ignored the various messages from my mother, and declined all their calls. I cried a little inside each time I was notified they were distraught and terrified for my safety. I would return one call once I reach Beakbank.

Our train was a little late, and by the time it got here, it began to rain really heavily. I was soaked head-to-toe, as were the others. We sat together, but rarely spoke. What could we talk about? How we were going to murder Mitchel? Not likely. I leant my head on the window, and began to drift off into a gentle slumber. The cool glass felt good against my hot skin. I heard Lucian mumble “Sweet dreams,”

For the next few nights, I didn’t have sweet dreams. They were replaced with nightmares, nightmares so surreal, that I could feel every single movement my dream-self made. I could also remember each tiny detail, no matter how irrelevant they were, like the colour of a stranger’s eye, or the name of a stray cat, I would know everything about it.

The hotel we were in this week was run down, like most places here. I didn’t want to touch anything in fear of catching a disease. One night, they left me alone in the hotel room. I briefly looked at my phone, to find it vibrating with over 100 messages. I decided to take a look at them. Most of them were from my mum and dad. I sent a message to each of my family members. They each had the same meaning; I’m fine and alive.
One message caught my eye in particular; it was from my little sister. She must have gotten a hold of mum’s phone or something, but she had gone out of her way just to talk to me. I pondered on calling her back, but decided against it, as Rosen came back early.

There was a hole in my heart, from my family, and there was one person who could fill it.
Rosen must have sensed my sadness, and tried to comfort me. Ever since Kara had joined our team, I felt a little insignificant. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve got nothing against her, but it just feels like I’ve been ‘replaced’. I wanted to be Rosen’s golden girl. I deserve a little happiness, don’t I?

My Life - Chapter Six

When I arrived, I couldn’t see either of them, I did however, notice a girl sitting alone. She had golden hair and green eyes, with dark rings around them which made her look a lot older. She had olive skin, which complimented her eyes. She had a very petite frame, but she looked like she packed a lot of muscle into her tiny body. She looked up at me. I guessed she sensed I was staring at her.

“Hi, do you mind if I sat here?” I asked her.
“Sure,” She didn’t seem bothered.
“I’m waiting for my friends.”
“Cool,” She stared back at her paper and continued to read.
“Yeah, Rosen and Lucian,” She froze as I mentioned the boys.
“Oh, uh, what are you guys doing?” She suddenly seemed interested, as she put the book down.

“It’s kind of a secret, but I guess I could tell you.”
She nodded. I opened my mouth to explain our plan and what we’re going to do, when the boys burst through the door.
“Hey guys,” I said instead. “This is, uh, sorry you never mentioned your name? I’m Robyn”
“O- I mean Kara.” Kara said blushing.
Lucian smiled his cocky little grin, “Always a pleasure to meet a pretty girl.” He went to kiss her hand, but she pulled away.
“Good things come to boys who wait.” She smiled. “So, what are you doing?”
“We’re going to hu-“Rosen interrupted me.
“Robyn! What are you doing! Don’t tell everyone or else we’ll never get anywhere!” He was angry.

“It’s okay, if you don’t want to tell me, it’s fine.”
“No, no I think we can trust you.” Lucian sided with me. Rosen rolled his eyes. “If it means I get to spend more time with a little lady, its fine by me.”
“We’re going on a mission, to kill a man.” I said with ease. I couldn’t believe the sentence was actually coming out of my mouth, but it was, and 100% true.
Kara looked shocked, but then asked “Who?”

“My father,” Rosen added in an icy tone. Kara seemed to run it all through her mind. She wasn’t too fazed by it.
“I want in.” She smiled. “I’ve had a history with dangerous men. What’s this guy like?”
This time, I was shocked at her response; Kara looked too young to have any experience with guys in general. Rosen and Lucian looked equally shocked.
“He’s a murderer. He killed my mother, and frequently beat me and my sisters.” Rosen answered. “You can join, just as long as you keep to your word, and kill this monster.”
Lucian and I kind of stared at each other whilst Kara and Rosen talked. His eyes twinkled under the lights, making his hair shine. Rosen and Kara were in deep conversation. She almost seemed like a different person to the shy, reluctant to talk, seemingly innocent girl. With all the talk of murder, she seemed intrigued, and dangerous. I noticed Rosen taking an interest in her curiosity of the matter, which I didn’t know if it was a good or bad thing. Lucian almost looked jealous of Rosen, maybe it was because he got all the girls, then again, he shouldn’t feel too disheartened since he is an ‘Italian Stallion’.

“Looks like we’ve got a new recruit.” Lucian whispered to me.  I smiled at his remark. I hadn’t noticed how close we were standing, but I was constantly reminded how close Rosen and Kara looked. I mean, they almost looked like Siamese twins, they were that close.
Rosen looked over at us, and said “We need to leave by the end of the week. We’ve found a few leads and a good idea of his location.”
“So where exactly are we going?”
“Beakbank.” He grimaced as he mentioned the town. Beakbank is single-handedly one of the most dangerous places in the country. It’s full of drug-dealers, criminals, and people you don’t want to get involved with. It wasn’t exactly a surprise that Mitchel would pick Beakbank as his hideout, he would blend in nicely in such an awful place.

Kara didn’t look too bothered by Beakbank’s reputation. “Great,” She clapped her hands. “And how do we get there without getting killed ourselves?” I detected the sarcasm in her voice.
“First we’re going to have to get a train to Brooklawn, and then make our way into Beakbank, staying on the ‘safer’ side. I’ve found a couple of motels in our area that we can swap from on a weekly basis.” Rosen had it all worked out.

“We have a few problems, for starters, money. How are we going to afford this? Secondly, how are we going to find him? Beakbank’s a huge place, and for all we know he could have people working for him, waiting for us to strike. If we do find him, how are we going to find any weapon to do the job, and do it without getting caught? And finally, what happens afterwards? Do we split up and never see each other again? Do we run away? What are we going to do?” I had a million questions, but selected the ones we were all thinking.

“Money-wise, I think I can muster up a bit, can you guys do the same?” We nodded, he continued. “I know a couple of people in the area, plus combining that with what we already know, we’ve got a pretty good idea of where he is. Knowing my dad, he wouldn’t keep too many friendships, since they can’t put up with him. He’s probably got at least one ‘friend’ but how deep that friendship is, we won’t know until we meet him, will we? I have no idea what’s going to happen when we get there, but as soon as we find him, we will be following him all day, finding every single thing out about him, until we know his daily routine. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.” His lips spread into a cocky grin. Lucian looked a bit petrified of the task before us.

“Well,” Kara paused. “We best get going if we want him dead.”
Lucian opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out, instead I spoke. “Look’s like we’ve got a plan.”
“Uh, question,” Lucian shyly put his hand up, “How do we break the news to or families?”
“You wanted to get away from Isabella, so just leave. I don’t have anyone, Kara hasn’t got anyone. Robyn I really don’t know about you, phone call maybe? A note or just leave.”

How could I just get up and walk away from my family? I mean, I’m sure they would care, but sometimes it just doesn’t feel like it. I know Shaylie would miss me, and it would probably tear my family apart, but something about these three strangers enticed me, made me want to follow them in their journey.

My Life - Chapter Five

“Uh, guys, I hate to break it to you, but before we can go anywhere, we need to know where we’re going.” I told Lucian and Rosen. They looked disappointed. “I need to go home soon, and when I get in, I’ll search him up, see if I can get any idea where he is.”
“Thanks Robyn, you’re the best.” Rosen hugged me. It felt so special, like I finally meant a lot to someone, and even better that it was Rosen. I didn’t know what Lucian looked like right now, but he didn’t sound too happy when we broke away.

“See you tomorrow, Robyn. Meet us in the library in town tomorrow. You’ve got school, haven’t you?”
I nodded, “I can skip it if you want, it’s not like I want to go.”
“That would be better, say 9 am?”
“Deal. Bye guys.” I kissed them both on the cheek, and left them be.
I was running away with two guys I’d met today. I was definitely crazy.

When I got home, I prepared myself for the lecture of a lifetime. I was pleasantly surprised that my mum didn’t care, and my dad wasn’t home. Shaylie however, was a different matter. She’d found the doll I’d defaced last night, and she was not a happy bunny. I apologized, and she left me alone. I went straight to my room to do some research on Rosen’s dad.

After at least an hour, I finally found something, but it was about his runaway sisters.
‘Erin Clay, 10, was reported missing last night, claiming she ran away after her sister who was also reported missing last week. It is unlikely the duo will be found. The search for Olivia and Erin Clay has begun, however it is short lived as the body of a young girl fitting the description of Erin was found near-‘
I couldn’t bring myself to read the last part. I didn’t really want to know that Rosen’s sister was dead. I wondered if Rosen knew that she was gone, and I didn’t want to be the one to break the news to him. I continued to search for a Mitchel Clay, but I was falling asleep. I dragged myself into my warm, comfortable bed, and drifted off into a calm dream.

One minute I was in Italy with Lucian and Isabella, then in another I was back on the bench with Rosen. The last part of the whole dream was Shay running away, Simon and I fighting, and a gunshot. I woke up with my heart beating out of my chest. I was hot and sweaty, so I took a shower and tried to forget about my dream, and focus on the day ahead.

I packed another outfit which I could change into, but I decided on meeting the boys in my uniform. I didn’t take anywhere as near as much food as I did yesterday, but I still took my lunch and some snacks for Rosen and Lucian. I left a little bit earlier than usual, but I figured that my parents wouldn’t notice.

On my way to the library, I thought about how I would break the news to my family that I was running away. Leave a note? A phone call?  Leave without notice?
I imagined Shay’s face as she found a note, or received the call. She would be devastated – heartbroken even.
