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.
