Hunter

Chapter 5

Liam^^

The next afternoon, we all got ready for the beach. I was so excited but I couldn't help but feel off. After Liam's situation, I have never felt like this before.

When Liam and I were in pre school, we were best friends forever but as we both grew, things changed. He bullied me along with his friends. He was the only one who called me,'Belly' but I hated as soon as he changed. His parents were in a gang and since my parents were also involved with another gang, they were rivals.

****Birthday party Flashback****

I was seated on a chair as we all waited for the birthday girl. I was fifteen years by then. My cup was suddenly snatched out of my hands by ladies and gentlemen, our one and only Liam Jones. "Hey, give me back my cup, Liam." He smirked and held the cup above his head. Since he was taller than me, I couldn't reach. "Aww what is it? Can't get the cup, Belly?" His friends started laughing at me. He chuckled darkly and when I jumped to get the cup, he poured the entire content on my hair. It ruined my white shirt but I could less. Soon, many of the students present were laughing at me. As I got out to run out of there, he made me trip and I hit my head. I felt hot tears when Liam smirked and said,"aww you fell? You're such a boring bitch. Hahahaha!" I ran out of the house, not looking where I was going until I ran into Hunter. We both fell and he glared at me. "Are you blind or do you go about bumping into people?" I looked at him, mesmerized by his beauty. Even when he glared at me, he looked cute. Even at age twelve, he was still very handsome and had that aura which screamed bad boy alert yet that made me more interested to know him. I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard the three boys chuckling. Was something funny? My question was answered when I saw that I was the only one on the floor. Hunter said cockily,"I know that I'm hot but stop checking me out and get up." I nodded meekly as I blushed but when I went to get up, he suddenly brought out his hand and I flinched. He was taken aback by my reaction but helped me up. The boys stopped laughing when they also saw my reaction.

I apologized and when I turned to walk away, Hunter said,"hey Beautiful, won't you even introduce yourself? I mean we can be good friends. Name's Hunter. These are my boys, Chris, Xavier and Jason." I smiled at them said,"name's Isabella." The rest of the night was spent with us being friends.

****End of Flashback.****

"Hey Isa, what's up?" Audrey's concerned. I smiled at her and assured her,"it's nothing. I just feel a little off today." She rolled her eyes and said,"urgh stop thinking so much and have fun." I smiled and nodded. We were at the beach minutes later, ready to have some fun.

We all sat down to tan until Ivory tood up and said,"hey guys, I'm going for a swim." We all declined and she shrugged. I watched as she ran into the water but screamed,"HELP!" I stood up and bolted after her along with everyone. Chris picked her up, freaking out until we heard her laughing at us. Chris let go of her and she looked at us, grinning,"at least that got you all here. Oh and Chris? Thank you so much for saving me." Chris sucked in a breath scooped up a handful of water, attacking her with it. We were soon attacking each other and having a great time.

Liam's P.O.V

I watched from the bar as Belly and her friends played. I don't know why but I hate it when she's happy. To make matters worse, her boyfriend is my rival. I have to admit, Belly grew to become gorgeous. I must get her at any cost. I won't have to touch her. I'll only abuse her physically and emotionally until she is completely broken and unfixable. I smirked at my idea.

My parents and hers used to be in rival gangs but we were best friends until her parents killed mine. I also seeked revenge and killed them too. Ever since then, I've renewed my hatred for her. Come to think of it, she got over her parents death easily but I'm still not over it. I'm on a mission to wipe every happy moment of her life especially her lover boy. He nearly killed me once but not anymore. I'll make sure that he dies right in front of his little girlfriend.

Hunter's P.O.V

I couldn't help but feel off. Someone was staring at us and I felt it. My blood ran cold. As we were starting to go back, a girl ran up to us. "Hi, my name is Thalia." I heard Chris say beside me,"I have a really bad feeling about her." I nodded, I mean who wouldn't with a tan skin, midnight black eyes, dark brown hair, a pierced nose, tattoos, and the evil glint in her eyes, who would not feel that she's bad news?

The boys and I shared knowing glances before deciding to play along. "Hi." We said and the girls giggled. I couldn't blame them. They just found a friend. I couldn't help but put a protective arm around Isa, pulling her to my side. Thalia gushed,"omg you're the stars." They nodded and Audrey said,"I'm Audrey." She said to the confirmation of my suspicion,"I know! And you are Ivory, Tasha, Dawn." Thessan pulled her to his side. She walked up to Isa and said with a determined voice? "And you. Are. Isabella. I can't wait to take you as a friend." Isa involuntarily cringed at her choice of words. I glared at her and before I could say anything, she said, flashing the boys and I a grim look. "The Outlaws."

I said,"since you know us so well, my friends and I will head back home. Have a nice day." Before she could protest, I pulled Isa along with me. "Hunter, wait." I didn't listen to her. I just took my phone in our car and ordered, Ashley, my right hand in Italy. "Yeah who's this?" A yawn came from the other end and I knew that she just woke up because she would have known who was talking to.

"Ashley, send fifty guards within the next Twenty-four hours and stop yawning." I ordered and she exclaimed,"shit. Boss, good morning!" I hummed and hung up. We all sat in the car and I drove off,"what was that all about?" Isa inquired. I sighed with frustration,"not now, baby." She kept to herself and I let out a breath of relief when she didn't jab any further questions. When we got home, without sparing a glance at me, she got out of the car and slammed the door shut.

THIRD PERSON POV

Hunter sighed as he looked at Isabella enter the house. At the back seat, the boys convinced the girls that they had an important work to do. The girls got into the house and Hunter drove to their secret warehouse.

They all settled down in their seats while Hunter stood. His dark aura, which had vanished long ago after meeting Isabella, suddenly enveloped him. He took his tablet and searched Thalia. Recognizing the face, he found out her information. Her real name was Valeria St. James, the right hand of Liam, a gang leader he hated with passion and Isabella's childhood bully. He groaned,why won't they just leave his love alone? Everytime, it's her they want because they know that she's his weakness as well as his strength. They knew that without her, he will be weak while if anything happens to her, he will use it as a standpoint to get back at his enemies.

He broke the tension,"they want your sister in law, my queen and I am not going to sit there and allow them to separate us again. Will you allow anything to happen to your sister in law?" They all answered chorusly,"No freaking way." He smirked,"that's the damn spirit. Currently, Ashley is sending guards from Italy but we still won't let our guard down." They nodded firmly. "Now I am going to have to face Isa." He groaned suddenly nervous. The last time they fought, he ended up getting drunk and smoking and that wasn't a pleasant thing at all after the number of dirty slaps he received from Isabella.

Flash back...

"I want to go to the night club down the streets." He immediately refused. She groaned and tried to convince him but to no avail. Her next attempt was to seduce him into agreeing with her but he came back to his senses and refused her. It led them in a serious argument. He stormed out of the house and came back later, drunk and spent. Isabella quietly observed him. The next day, Hunter tried to get her to talk to him but she gave him a silent treatment. Right in the middle of the living room, he received five dirty slaps. "I can't believe I fell for you! Just because you are angry, you used that as your standpoint to get drunk and smoke. What the fuck is wrong with you?! What happened to 'I have stopped drinking and smoking for your sake', Hunter?" She whispered. Hunter's glare softened and he lowered his head. The most humiliating thing was that he was being scolded infront of his family.

He suddenly had a renewed respect for the daring lady infront of him. He couldn't refuse the urge to claim her lips. He groaned and crashed her to his chest, not giving her any time to relax before he kissed her. She moaned at the sudden action and kissed back, wrapping her arms around his neck to the surprise of his family. When they pulled away, her blush was visible as she shoved past him and ran out of the house.

End of flash back...

He sighed as he took long strides to his car. They all sat and he drove home. It was time to face the music.
