'I can't do it.'

'Just shut up and pack it up.'

'It's too much.' Justin complained.

'No , it's not. Pack it up before they came in bursting our doors and taking us with them.'

'But it's too—' before he could spit other words of complain, I hung up. I threw my phone on the bed and zipped my bag.

After the little chit chat (the bloody wall note)we all had with the sectators, I —we decided to let's go on a trip. Not that trip but we needed to get out of here before someone they get here. Yes, of course, we all had a rememberable conversation about the little note someone left on my bathroom wall with red ink.

How cute! Someone left me a note written with his/her blood or more romantically, with someone else's.

Oh we were on the conversation. Do you wanna hear how did it go? Ok then then here you go :

'No the stone's not stolen.' I confirmed Greg.

'Then what's the note about?'

'I left there the fake ring. I replaced it with the one mom gave me for my birthday so yeah, they must've gone excited after finding that they finally stole the stone from me and wanted to thank me about it and look they left me a note.' I explained.

'How do you know you're wearing the right ring?' Leo asked suspiciously.

'Cause I can feel the power duh.'

'Can I try?' Justin asked and I narrowed my eyes at him.

'How did they get in here?' Greg asked.

'Maybe through the window. It was open by the way.'

'The way you're not surprised, I suspect you're used to these random notes.' Chloe asked and I put on my thinking face to make a quick decision. Truth or lie? But I sighed and I know that you know that what Chloe know and that what I know and they all would know if I let them know.

Wait what?

Anyways I continued. 'Yes, I'm familiar to this shit.'

'Since when this has been happening?'

'I don't know maybe since the day Marie assigned me to Hades' mission.'

'And you didn't bother telling us?'

'I thought someone was pulling up a prank.'

'Then you should've told us.'

'I know but these texts stopped for sometime and I thought that I was fine now.'

'But you weren't.'

'Yes.' I said.

'And you didn't bother telling us?' Justin injected in.

'No I didn't.'

'Why?' Austin pressed the question.

'I told you my reasons.'

'Your reasons are not valid.'

'Yes , I know but these are the only reasons I have.'

'Then make something up.' Austin insisted.

'What? I can't make something up.'

'Why not?'

'Because I don't wanna lie anymore.'

'But you did.'

'When?'

'When you didn't bother telling us.'

In case you're wondering what this conversation I was  having with, these were the twins. The rest were quite, taking in our words. Leo suspected the blood and my phone for the messages I received but now was quite for all the time.

'Well okay I didn't but now I did.' I tried to reason with the twins but they just stared back at me. I stepped back  and they both took a step forward. 'Guys really I'm sorry.'

'When did you receive the note?' Greg asked in between the staring competition.

'Er... when I was in Las Vegas.' I replied.

'And how can we believe you?' Justin asked narrowing his eyes and crossing his arms over his chest.

'Because you were with me idiot.' I said.

'Humph.' Austin said.

'You guys do realise that we're still in the bathroom right?' I asked to change the subject.

'Of course. This smell is killing my damn nostrils. God Else, go get your bathroom a fucking air freshener.' Austin said as we all walked out.

I smacked playfully on his shoulder. 'Shut your hole jackass. Someday take some time out to smell yours.' I remarked.

'Nah, I'd rather watch notebook than doing that.' Justin replied.

'Then how do you use that?' Stephen asked interestingly.

'Clothing pins. Simple.' Austin said and I let out a chuckle.

That was how that little pretty conversation went by. And somehow I was glad it happened, it released the string of tension in the house.

After that, we all decided that we can't live there anymore. It was too dangerous so Leo suggested to live in his Las Vegas house which to my surprise everyone agreed at the very moment. 'I always wanted to live on the rich boy's house.' Justin commented when Leo finally announced.

So for that ,we were packing. My packing was finished. I just packed a backpack. I slipped the ring off my finger and tugged it in the bag. I know, the packing was too less but these were the restrictions. 'Pack less , stay more. Pack more, get lost.' Were Leo's words.

I slipped my hand through one of the straps of my backpack as my other arm was still wrapped in bandage , slinging it over my shoulder and stumbled downstairs  to see the twins dressed in Hawaiian shirts and shorts with hats and goggles. 'We're not going on picnic. I hope you understand.' They giggled which I've never heard such a childish sound before.

'Yes, but it's better than dressing in black and letting people think that you're intimidating but wait a minute, you aren't.' Austin gestured towards my all black outfit—Black tank top, with black shorts and shoes. I rolled my eyes.

'And look how you've dressed making people think that your sexy and have awesome love lives but wait a minute, you don't have any.' I retorted.

'Hey watch it, I almost made myself a girlfriend but she —Er ' Austin stopped midway.

'Aww, did she slap you? How romantic! So basically you stole her first slap?' I asked innocently even I batted my eyelids. Yes, first time in the century, Elsa Stone batted her eyelids.

'Actually second.' Justin added and I burst out laughing while Austin muttered some incoherent words under his breath.

'Guys help me I'm  struck.' Chloe called out from upstairs. Boys threw me a look of how-can-we-avoid-her but I merely shrugged.

They sighed and walked up to help her out. I didn't even bother to, it's not like I'm not kind, it's just that I don't help mean. I hope you got it.

After a while, they came down with four luggage's, two big for their own good, a backpack with a neck pillow of hello kitty clinging at the strap of the bag . Chloe was wearing a sundress which I presumed to be a little too short.

I poured myself water as they all walked outside. Watching the four luggage's scene , I pat my water but instantly brought my hand up to my mouth to prevent for more. 'What the hell Chloe, four luggage's! Are you out of your mind?' I asked Chloe who snorted.

'I can't live on same days for weeks ok?' She replied and boys, along me rolled our eyes.

Instead of giving her a reply, I let it slip away cause I just saw Leo walking out of a training room repeating out reactions. 'Chloe? What on Earth?' Leo said and only his this words were enough as Chloe huffed and threw two of her bags down and dragged the other two outside while all of us watched her leaving with our mouths hanging.

'Those were the electronics for my hair,'she yelled from outside. 'But I'm taking at least two.' I looked at Leo who just shrugged and walked outside too followed by me and the twins.

Almost everyone was settled. We were taking bikes but Stephen was in his car and had Greg and Chloe already in it. The twins had settled themselves on their bikes. Leo tugged on my shoulder. I turned around and he tossed me the extra helmet. 'You're coming with me.' He informed and I put on my helmet.

'It's been months since I haven't ridden on my bike.' I stated and I walked up to his bike.

He didn't consider replying and I cringed. After the incident, Leo was the quietest of us all or you can say the cold Leo had returned which made me more cringe.

I hopped on the bike with Leo's help because of my damn foot. I leaned in to wrap my arms around his stomach but I tried my best not to touch it.

'Ok guys,' Leo said . 'We'll be off. And we won't be sticking to the same path. It's too dangerous so if you see a threat , feel free to change your direction but reach the airport as soon as you can cause it's the safest.' Leo's speech seemed mean and his voice was plain. All most too plain. 'Remember, we lost Dave or maybe Marie, and if in between any of this journey you consider to die, then don't cause two already died for us and I'm in no mood to lose someone else.' Leo said. 'Be safe.'

'That was the shittest pep talk by far bud.' Stephen commented.

'I know.' Leo replied and started the bike's engine. It roared beneath me and vibration begun. Leo saluted to Stephen and the twins who returned immediately and set off. He rolled the handle a little too much as bike stumbled to pick up the speed and I lent in to hold him tight around his stomach but then he released the handle and the bike came back to its normal speed. 'Hold on tight jewel.' Leo said.

And that reminded me that I was sitting behind Leonardo black who can't leave a chance to flirt even when we're on a death journey.

I didn't lighten the grip perhaps I couldn't as Leo didn't spare a chance for me to.

The first minutes were easy and the road was safe from the robots. We saw some on our way but Leo disappeared from the sight before they could even turn their heads. But the forces weren't only robots, I saw humans —too emotionless to act like one— moving in packs with weapons around their bodies.

Guys weren't behind us anymore. Perhaps they took Leo's pep talk too seriously.

It was a beautiful death journey but you just can't always have enough.

Another pack of robots made their way in front of us but Leo took a sharp turn to lose them. A buzzer heard from a distant as if they alerted something. And the next thing I knew, I heard the buzzer getting louder and louder.

I turned my head to see a car following us. 'Leo!' I yelled who took another sharp turn taking me off guard and I almost lost my grip.

'Damn Els, hold tight!' He said. I nodded and then I thought he can't see it so I said yes.

Another car appeared as we passed a cross road. And such to give me a better heart attack, one more appeared In front of us. I gulped down thinking of possible ways to get rid of it but Leo had already planned it.

He twisted the handle and turned to the other way around so now we were facing the two cars now. He rolled the handle , the bike roared and at its full pace, it started running towards the two cars. 'Leo do you think they will miss me if I'll die?' I asked him in panic.

'Shut up Els.' I shut my mouth. 'No one's dying,' Leo said as he rolled the handle again and leaned in. 'At least I won't let it.' The air hit me on my body and my one bag pack strap flew in the air with the speed. Panic plastered on the cars' drivers as they watched a boy with his partner , racing towards death but it twisted. It all happed in a slow motion.

The bike raced passed narrowly between the distant between two cars. The drivers, too dumbstruck to do anything, looked at us with their jaws down.

One of the car's door barely made contact with my knee as I blew a breath of relief but we still didn't lost them , they were behind us. All three of the cars.

I took out a gun from Leo's waistband and turned my torso towards the cars. I closed one of my eyes to make a target. 'Els What you're doing?'

'It's called helping sweetheart.' I replied and a car skidded on the road as a bullet made its way in its tire. Another car crashed into it for the sudden skid , but one was still left.

'It was good helping.' Leo commented and turned roughly round the corner of the street. I thought that we lost them as we crossed many of the streets without being chased but the four tires, running on the road announced their coming.

I looked behind my shoulder and I saw driver talking on a phone probably informing others. But he was too late . I loaded the gun and turned around. 'Jewel I don't need the helping anymore. Sit back.' I knew only I can do it. They won't shoot me as they can hurt me and their boss wanted me full flesh. But I'm not that kind to return a kindness.

'Oh baby, I wish I was a good girl.' I aimed at the driver. 'Alas, I'm not.' I pressed the trigger and the bullet hit him on the seat rather than on his head as he jiggled his car but you know , what they say ;when you get another chance, don't waste it.

So I did that.

I aimed again and pretended to press the trigger so he giggled the car again but when no bullet wrecked the front mirror anymore, he looked forward, confused only to see a bullet , zooming in towards his hollow head.

The car crashed right in an other bike. I shrugged at the accident and sat back practically hugging Leo. 'Good one.' He said as we passed zig-zagged the cars which were all coming in our way for we were going opposite on one way road.

We passed the road and then Leo made its path through the streets I never saw in my life. These were like the hidden streets. 'Leo are you gonna kidnap me?' Leo chuckled.

'I wish jewel.' He said.

'Oh god I'm being kidnapped the second time. No the third or is it more?' I gasped and Leo chuckled again shaking his head at my childish behaviour.

'You know actually I did think about it. To take you away from all these troubles.' He said.

'I'm waiting for the day.' I said and rested my head on his back. A helicopter thrummed on top of us. I lifted my head up to see a helicopter of Hades on our way to kill us.

'Leo is their anyway I can throw a grenade to that helicopter?' I asked sarcastically getting tired of the dog chase.

'It's too high besides I don't have one. You already stole my gun.' Leo commented but his voice was calm. I looked forward and then I knew why; we reached the airport.

And the most exciting news was, no one died on the way. As much as I could count, all five of them were waiting for us in. Nicely dressed and alive.
