Omnipotence

Chapter Two

Veronica's pov.

"Oh come one Vic." Riley practically screamed over the music of the club. "One more song." She pleaded.

"Riles, we've been dancing for hours. My feet are dying and I seriously need a drink." I say as I practically drag her back to the bar.

"Ohk fine, but if some sexy piece of meat comes for a dance. I'm going." I laugh at her complete disregard for the basic man. Just as get got to the bar Riley pulled on my arm. "Hey, I need to go tell Kyke where we are." Kyle being the guy that brought us here, one of Riley's best friends and what seems to be the protective ones. Either that or he has a major crush on her.

"Ohk, I'm going to be at the bar." Riley nods and turns back to get Kyle. I turn back to get a drink, the bartender sees me and give me a warm smile. He's kinda cute. He walks over to me.

"What will the lovely lady be having?" He asks.

"After your name, I'll take brandy and coke." I give a small smile.

"That was smooth, brandy and coke on your way." He says before turning around to fix my drink. Just then I notice a second bartender and he looks scarily familiar. As the second bartender turns, I can see his face properly and my heart drops to my feet. I felt a tugging of a heartstring and I almost burst into tears.

My brother. My brother here, of all days to see him. "Luka!" I shout, he turns to look who had call on him. He spots me and freezes, just as I did. I didn't even think, I just jumped over the to the other side of the bar. I heard protests but I really didn't care, it's been five years since I saw my brother. He was away at boarding school when I ran away from home.

"Lilly?" Luka asked as I stood in front of him. "Oh my God!" I was pulled into a bear hug, I can't believe this is really happening. "L where have you been!? What happened to you? You look so different, you're sexy now." Now?

"Sorry beautiful." I heard the other bartender call out to me. "You cannot be behind here."

"Ohk... Ohk... Luka meet me at the back in ten." I jump back over the bar, the other guy hands me my drink and I take it all in one go. The burning down my throat was enough to prove to me that I was not dreaming. Riley came to me with a huge smile on her face.

"Loving the smile there Riles, let me guess. There was a..." Riley put her hand over my mouth.

"No, not anything you were about to say." Riley looked back and I followed her stare. There was a group of guys standing in the corner, there was a blond that winked as Riley and she blushed uncomfortablely.

"Mmmm, ohk. You hooked a blond I see." I say nudging her, she turned back smiling from eart-to-ear. "He's eye candy, I'll give you that."

"Oh but he is so much more Vic." She held my hands and looked me deep in the eyes. "Vic, I think I like him."

"Riles, you barely spent five minutes with him." I state.

"Vic, he is the guy I have been telling you about." She said justifying her clear intoxication.

"He's Mr no-shirt." I look back over to the group to get a better look at this guy and then back at her. "Did he finally ask you out?!"

"Yes!" She and I squealed, even over the music that was blasting. We turned a few heads but we didn't care.

"So when's the big date?" I ask finally settling down.

"Next Friday."

"That's amazing." I say before leaning back against the bar. I let out a sigh.

"What happened?" Riley asked. "I thought we were all happy and that type of thing."

Without a word I grab her hand and walk towards the back of the club, to where the back entrance was. "Hey!" Riley protested. "What is going on with you?" Opening the door to leave the club, I pull Riley out and check of anyone was around. "Ohk dude what the hell is happening? Why'd you bring me to this disgusting alleyway?"

"Ohk, ohk. Enough with the questions." I close my eyes and lean against the wall. I let out a sigh and look back at Riley. "My brother is here." I tell her.

"Luka, Is here? You mean here here? As in right now?" Riley was completely put off , she was speaking so fast that I couldn't even catch most of what she said.

"Dude! The questions. Not needed right now." Riley stops talking. "He is here and I ask for him to meet with me."

"Ohk that's good then right?"

"No Riles, it's not." I rub my face and look up at the stars. Not much stars in the city. "What happens if someone finds out? I do not want to go back to the hell hole."

"Ohk Vic, listen. I don't know what you expected, eventually you would've run into someone from your past. I mean like you didn't exactly leave the Plante. Now, you need to get a grip. I cannot have you being to frantic, that is not you." Riley held my shoulders and look into my eyes. "You need to Keep strong."

"You're right.... You're right." I was about to speak when my brother came out.

"Lylith."
