*Steel*

The new girl was smiling at me. She was smiling ever so sweetly. But this time, I could see the venom dripping from it.

It was kind of weird that I didn't even know her name yet. But it didn't matter that much. What mattered was that she had been talking to one of mine. Kelly.

What also mattered was that the Shadow had agreed to take our job, and that he had already killed one person. I had given him two weeks to kill four men, but it looked like he didn't need that much time.

"What's up?" Jake said giving me a knowing look.

"Nothing. There are just some things that I have to do. Will you cover for me?" I asked, and he nodded.

I stood just when Kelly arrived at our table.

"Hey ba-" I grabbed her arm before she could finish the sentence, and dragged her out of the cafeteria.

I made sure she was skinny all the time, so I already knew she was weak. She was as light as a damn feather. So even though she struggled to get out of my hold, her efforts died quickly.

"Where are we going?" She asked, with panic in her voice that she tried to conceal.

"To somewhere we can't be overheard." I answered vaguely. Kelly struggled even harder to get out of my grip.

We went outside, and I dragged around the corner. I had some questions. And Kelly knew things. I pushed her up against the wall, and started.

"Who is the new girl you were talking to before?" I asked, keeping my voice low and hollow.

"Who?" She asked, genuinely looking confused.

"How many new girls are there dumbass? The one with the blond hair and shit?" I said, and recognition flooded her face.

"Her name is Lilith." Was the only thing she said. I gritted my teeth.

"What were you talking about?"

"We were talking about the Shadow." Kelly said clenching her jaw, and trying once more to get free.

"Why were you talking about the Shadow? What do you know?" I asked hurriedly. To fast, I asked to fast, well heck if that didn't make me look suspicious.

"There was an article on the news about the Shadow." She said, full on glaring at me now. She had never dared to be so rude to me before, and I had a suspicion that it was because of Lilith.

"How did you know her before-" I was cut off by Kelly saying:

"Why do you care so much about Lilith?"

"Because I want her to be mine." I said simply. Kelly shook het head at me. Oh wait, maybe I shouldn't have said that to my girlfriend. Oh well.

"No way, no you won't. You have enough people to torment. Stay. Away. From. Lilith." Kelly said, pointing a threatening finger at me that she somehow managed to get between us.

I was speechless. Kelly had never stood up to me before, she never dared to. But now, she was standing up to me for some new girl that she couldn't have known for longer than a day.

"Don't forget. I could send you away in a heartbeat Kelly." I said and punched her guts.

She gasped in pain as I stepped away from her, letting her fall to the ground. A tear leaked from her cheek, and I walked away.

I could feel her glare at my back the entire time. And I had the strangest feeling that she would one day make me pay for it all. I shook off the feeling and got into my car.

You see, there was a reason my gang was quite powerful. It was the only reason my gang was still standing. But it needed some maintenance from time to time. And that, was where I was going now.

*Lilith*

Where the hell was my hair elastic? Seriously, I had bought new ones two days ago, and they were all gone. Maybe they went to Narnia or something. Whatever the reason was that my hair elastic's were all gone -once again- I really needed one.

It was boiling in class, and I was sweating my ass off. My hair really wasn't helping, acting like a blanket over my nek and shoulders.

A guy with short hair was sitting next to me, so I couldn't even ask him for one. In front of me though, there was a girl with long enough hair for her to have hair elastics on her. I wasn't going to ask her for one. That would just be awkward.

I rested my chin on my hand, turning slightly, so I could see the girls desk. And I kid you not, she had a hair elastic just sitting there!

I needed it.

So I did the only thing I knew could -maybe- work. I was going to steal it. I grabbed a pen from my bag, and turned it open, so there were three sections. I grabbed the longest section and leaned forward.

The girl was reading like her life depended on it, so she didn't notice when the longest section of my pen went inside the loop of the hair elastic and slid it towards the edge of her desk.

Once it was on the edge perfectly, I grabbed it easily, without making a fuss. Just like that, I finally had a hair elastic. It was a shame that it was pink and recognizable, but there were more than enough people here with pink hair elastic's.

I quickly put my hair in a high ponytail, and I almost sighed at the fresh air that finally reached my nek and shoulders.

I accidentally made eye contact with the guy next to me, and his heated gaze told me exactly what a ponytail did to him.

Like, seriously bro? Why couldn't I tie my hair up normally without it being extremely awkward.

At least that look meant that he hadn't seen me steal it though.

Just then I got a message on my phone. I sneaked a look from under my desk to see who it was. I didn't really have to do it under the desk, as the teacher didn't give a damn if we were on our phones.

There were only four people who had my number, Kyle, Silvia, Kelly, and Dominos.

This time, it was Kelly.

'Hey girl. Listen, I gotta talk to you about some things. It's kind of urgent, went can we meet up?'

I immediately answered her, I didn't like the sound of it being urgent.

'Heyyyyyyy. Yeah, no problem, want to meet now?'

'Now? Aren't you in class?'

I almost laughed out loud at that.

'I'll just ditch'

'Oh, ok. Then yes now would be great. See you in the parking lot.'

I stood and the teacher stopped talking about.... ummm... I don't know I wasn't paying attention if you haven't realized.

"What is it Miss Hunter?" The teacher dude said, and I started walking towards the door.

"Nothing to worry about sir. I'm just leaving." Normally I would hate to be the center of attention, but I do it for some people. Didn't make it any less fun though.

I started running as the teacher dude opened his mouth to say more. I opened the door, and slammed it behind me on accident. Oops.

Lets go see what's up with Kelly, I thought, while speed walking towards the parking lot.
