Reuben's POV

"MUM ! DAD ! ADAM IS INJURED ! HE'S BLEEDING TOO MUCH !" I shouted , putting Adam on the couch which I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get scolded for but that's not first priority.

Its not my first time seeing blood , but it's definitely one that needs lots of attention from.

They treat Adam as their own son and will protect him at all cause and immediately foot steps came rushing down from the stairs.

"WHAT ?! ADAM IS INJURED ? HOW IS HE ?! IS HE ALIVE ?!" Mum shouted from the stairs.

"WHATT !! ADAM IS DEAD ?!?!" Dad's voice followed right after hearing Mum's.

They both gasped when they saw how much blood is flowing out but mum hits different.

"HOW DARE YOU REUBEN ?! WHY DID ADAM GET HURT ?! AND WHY IS MY COUCH STAINED RED ?!" putting her hands to the side of her waist before putting it down and taking a medic kit.

"What happened ?" Dad rushed over.

"Adam was shot when I was fighting with hell's devil" i sat down.

"Hell's devil ? What is he doing there ?" He asked.

"She was tasked to kill him and I may or may not have tried to bring her back for questioning" I nervously said.

"Oh , wait , she ?"

"Erh yea , well I sort of saw it by accident" my face blushed.

"Saw what ?"He raised an eyebrow.

"He means that" mum pointed to her chest.

"And he's embarrassed from it" she laughed and removed the bullet and bandaging it.

"Sit down for a while , try not to move." She said "And Reuben , you sit down too and let me stitch up that bloody wound". I nodded and hissed a bit when she rub the alcohol on it causing a stinging sensation.

After treating my wound , she stood up and put the medic kit back.

"Dad , can you search up information about the hell's devil."

"Ok but right now you and Adam need lots of rest now" he said. I made no attempt to argue back as usually I stay up late but this time , my energy was drained.



Iris's POV

(Morning)



A surging pain came shooting from my leg. I try to grasp for air as I take big breaths in and out. The pain was too excruciating, I let out a yelp noise before I fell off the bed. I crawled to my drawer with my throbbing leg and try to open it as fast as I could.

I quickly took out two painkillers and immediately gulped it down with a glass of water.

I laid on the floor for a good 5 minutes before I limped my way to the bathroom.

I unwrapped the bandage and checked my wound to see if it's gotten any better. It looks like my period except it's on my thigh. I change the bandage and began starting my facial morning routine and brushing my teeth.

I changed into a oversized hoodie and sweatpants because at this state I am , I probably can't last for 2 minutes in some tight jeans.

And my bruise on my stomach has gotten a lot worst , it's turning into a shade of dark purplish black which definitely gotten better

And my bruise on my stomach has gotten a lot worst , it's turning into a shade of dark purplish black which definitely gotten better.

No I was just joking

. I wonder how the fuck am I going to survive in school today , I must avoid Reuben at all cost so he doesn't spot anything suspiciously weird about me.

I put on a light makeup to cover up any bruise or cuts I have.

But now , I look at the mirror and stood far from it and tried walking to it to see if it looks like I'm limping. I walked back and forth and it definitely looks different than my usual walking which is basically me imagining myself in the runway.

I definitely laid more on my left than on the other but it's okay I've came up with the perfect excuse as to why I'm limping.

I walked down the stairs and took out a coffee pod before putting in the machine and waiting it for it to be made.

"Why'd you drink coffee"

"that taste like shit" Lucas insulted.

hell no no one insults my coffee.

"Let me tell you my coffee taste amazing and it probably taste like shit to you because you have shit taste buds and what are you even eating , froot loops ? That literally taste like straight up sugar , and why'd you trying to get , diabetes?" No offense to those who like froot loops but coffee and Cheerios taste way better.

I stood in the kitchen  drinking my coffee and having a toast with butter on it.

(Preparing to enter the car)

"Reach there safely and try not to get in trouble" Mum shouted from her room.

I took my bag and walked but I was stopped by Lorenzo.

"Are you okay ? Why are you limping ?" And immediately everybody turned to face me.

Gosh I knew this would happen.

"I accidentally hit against the table when I was in my room busy looking for books" I said innocently.

It may not be the best excuse because who in the world accidentally hit against the table looking for books BUT they will think I'm very productive and studying which balance it out.

They gave each other a skeptical look before nodding their head and continue walking to the car.

Looks like they didn't suspect it at all. I let go the breath I was holding in but why am I even holding my breath.

Marc's POV

When iris said she accidentally hit against the table looking for her books , I didn't believe her.

She was never a clumsy kid from young and from what I observe the past few weeks , she never studies.

So I didn't believe her excuse but maybe she did hit herself or something else happened. I didn't want to pressurize her or anything so I nodded but it didn't get off my mind.
