Chapter Three

We all watched as he made his way over to

us. I took in his features. His dark brown hair

was curled to the side and fell in front of his

face. His eyes were a light brown and his style

didn't even seem to change one bit. He had

on a white t-shirt which showed his muscles

along with his tattoos. He had a piercing on

his ear which was a black stud earring.

Godric was my childhood friend and the only

friend who knew everything about me and

my brothers. We planned to start our own

business one day but then he just vanished

without a word or trace.

"Surprise!" He smiled as he stood in front of

me. I stood there not knowing how to respond.

He opened his mouth to say something and

was cut off by Henry's voice that came out of

the walkie-talkie "Sky! We have a problem.

Franky is now in the classroom with Darren

and he's armed. It's only him. All his guys are

down."

I started running back to the classroom

with the guys behind me. We all barged in

the classroom and Franky had his left arm

wrapped around Darren's neck while the right

hand was aiming a pistol at his head.

"Put your weapons down or the kid dies,"

Franky spat across the room.

I looked around to see all the students and Ms.

Gena in the back of the classroom. I turned

back to Franky then let outa sigh. I slowly

lowered my gun to the ground and the guys

followed along.

Franky smirks at his success then waved the

gun towards us. "Kick it to me."

Since his gun was off Darren, I took the

opportunity to take my pistol out and pull the

trigger along when he pulled his trigger. The

gunshot was covered by screams that came

from some of the students. Franky slowly

dropped to the floor and the classroom was

filled with silence from the shocked students. I

called Henry in and told him what happened.

I was thanked by Darren for saving his life

and by Ms. Gena. She gave me a huge hug and

also shed some tears.

Henry's men came in moments later and

took Darren to who knows where and also

took Franky's lifeless body away. I looked for

where his bulleted landed. Turns out, he shot

the wall next to me missing me by 1 foot.

My brothers did a little celebration cheer at

our success in the mission as we were packing

up our stuff. James walked up to me and

gave me a smirk. "Still got it in you," he said

wiggling his eyebrows.

"Ha. Of course, I do," I grinned.

"Hey," I hear a soft voice behind me. I turned

around to see Godric with a smile. I forgot he

was back. To be honest, you would too if the

only person you trusted and were best friends

with was gone for almost 12 years now.

"Why did you come back?" I asked bluntly,

causing his smile to fade. The room got quiet

all of a sudden as my tone changed. Godric

stands there in complete shock.

What?! Did he honestly expect me to just be

happy and jump into his arms? He left me for

12 years. After my parents died, he left and I

had no one excepting my brothers. Did it never

occur to him that he could've called or sent a

text?

I delivered him a punch to the face causing

him to stumble back a little. "I probably

deserve that," he groaned in pain as he

rubbed his nose.

I started to disarm myself and put everything

back in the bag. "Come on! You can't be mad at

me," he spoke trying to reason with me.

I put on my plaid shirt and turned to him.

"You left me for 12 fucking years. You never

called or tried to contact me. Did you expect

me to leap into your arms?" I spat in disbelief.

His eyes darkened and I could see that he

tensed up. "I have been through hell these

past 12 years and I'm even lucky to be alive

right no," he shouted.

"Oh, yeah? What about keeping in contact. Not

even one damn phone call."

He let out an annoyed groan. "I was trying to

protect you."

"You sure did a shitty job at it," I mumbled

thinking about Cindy and Jerry. I brushed it

off and headed for the door.

"Skylar wait," Godric yelled, but I ignored

him and left through the gym which led me

outside. I saw Henry and his guys talking

before they split up into different BMWs.

"Can I have a ride?" I asked Henry and he

nodded.

During the ride, Henry allowed me to rant

about what just happened. He knew Godric

from when I was small. It is one out of many

things I like about Henry. He would sit there

and allow me to rant for God knows how long.

"I actually agree with you," he implied as we

stopped at a traffic light.

"I know! How can you expect me to be all nice

and shit when you just left for 12 years and

never even made contact with me. For all I

care, he could spend another 12 years gone," II

admitted and that was the truth.

I was mad. Matter of fact, I was beyond mad. I

was so mad not even my favorite type of food

could cheer me up. That's when you know

shit's real.

"We're here," Henry said, pulling up to the

mansion gates that were black. I thanked him

and got out. As he drove off I walked through

the now opened gate and made my way to the

entrance.

My mansion looked like a place where

the Greek Gods and Goddess would live.

Everything was so Vivid and beautiiul. This

was home.

I walked around the fountain that was in

the drive-thru and made my way up to the

light brown door. I scanned my hand on the

pad and watched as the screen turned green

and it recognised my fingerprint. Click. The

door was now open. I removed my hand

and walked in making sure to shut the door

behind me.

Letting out a frustrated sigh, I walked over

to the bar that was a few feet in front of me.

I took a bottle of Hennessy and poured some

in a glass with ice. I placed my phone on the

counter and took a seat on the stool.

What sucks about alcohol is that it doesn't

do anything to me right away. I could drink

out a whole bottle and still be able to walk

and drive. I'm still aware of everything that

is happening. In order for me to get drunk,

I would have to consume about 6 bottles

of Hennessy. My powers make my alcohol

tolerance very high. However, I could speed

up the process by adding vodka but I get the

worst hangover you can ever have. I silently

drank out the alcohol in my cup and served

myself a second round.

I heard the door click and knew the guys had

reached home. As they entered, I could hear

different types of conversations going on but

couldn't make out what they were saying. It

just sounds like a bunch of bees.

"Sky," someone called and I turned around to

see the prick inside my house.

I got up and drank out the remains in my cup

in one shot. It burned but my anger burned

more. I shoved my glass in Ethan's hand and

kept wallking to Godric. I placed my hand over

his chest and pushed him back till he was out

the door.

He frowned for a second and opened his

mouth. "Sky-"

I slammed the door on him before he could

finish. I walked back to the bar and on my

way, I grabbed my cup from Ethan's hand. I

refilled my cup but this time I made sure it

was full. I turned around to see some of the

guys talking and some on their phones with a

beer in their hands.

"To us. The best family I could ever ask for," I

said holding up my glass.

They cheered like maniac's and then the door

opened again. It became quiet and I glared at

Godric.

"What part of the door slamming in your

face do you not understand?" I groaned in

frustration. I turned to Randy who was 8 feet

away from me.

"Remind me to delete his handprint on the

house," I spoke and he nodded.

"Would you just hear me out?" he exclaimed.

Before I could reply, James butt in. "Dude

just leave. If she doesn't want you here then

there's no point. You have to see things from

her point of view."

Godric made a tight fist to the point where

you could see the white in his knuckles. "NO!"

he growled and I stood there in shock. I wasn't

scared or anything but his growl. It didn't

sound like a human growl. It sent chills down

my spine.

"I know your dumbass is not talking to me."

James grinned through his teeth.

Godric was about to make a move but I butt

in. "I swear if you lay a hand on James, I will

personally kick your *** to the point where

you can't even sit," I threatened.

Godric looks at me and then at James. He

released a sigh of defeat and slowly put his

hand down before walking down the hallway.

"Where the hell do you think you're going?!" I

yelled but stood in my spot.

"To get water," he shouted back. I looked up at

the ceiling and let out a heavy sigh.

I walked over to James who was feet away

from the closed door. "You okay?" I asked then

sipped on my drink.

He nodded. "He's so different now," he

mumbled and I couldn't agree more.

Ding Dong.

"I got it," I smiled at James who returned the

smile then started making his way to the bar.

I turned on my heels and opened the door. A

guy about 6 feet and something inches were

standing there. He had brown hair and a

body worth drooling over. His shirt was fitted

so you could see his abs. Both his arms were

filled with tattoos. This dude most likely had

his whole upper body filled with tattoos since

you could see his neck covered in it. His smile

was gentle and warm. I realised I was being a

creep and gave a small smile.

"How may I help you?" I softly spoke.

"Well, my car kind of shut down and I can't

call anyone because my phone died. May I

use a phone or something to call someone,"

he spoke with a deep voice yet it came out so

angelic.

"Of course, come on in," I smiled, opening

the door wider for him. He thanked me and

stepped inside the lobby.

"Who's that?" Mason asked nodding to the

guy.

"My name is Lucifer," he smiled introducing

himself. The room got quiet for a brief

moment at his name.

"You're serious?" Justin asked, breaking the

silence.

Lucifer smirked, "Dead serious."

"Yo, that's dope as ****," Randy shouted

across the room.

"Thanks," Lucifer grinned.

I shook my head and remembered his reason

for being here.

"Ohh phone. Sorry." I apologized as I walked

over to the counter for my phone. As I was

heading back over to him, I unlocked my

phone before passing it to him.

While he was dialing the number, it suddenly

hit me. "Quick question. How did you get to

the door?" I was a bit concerned.

In order to get to the front door, you need

to get past the front gates which require a

fingerprint, car recognition scan, or pin. If you

have none of those, then you'd simple buzz in

and someone would let you through.

"Your gate was opened," he spoke as he smiled

at me before looking back down at my phone.

I rolled my eyes. "Gabe needs to learn how to

close the gate," I sighed. He's the only one who

forgets to close the front gate.

I looked around to see the guys mingling

amongst themselves.

"How long does it take that fucker to get

a glass of water," I mumbled referring to

Godric.

Gabe then walked into the lobby with an

annoyed look on his face, "The dumbass is

trying to calm himself down. Don't see why he

has a reason to be mad when it should be you

who is mad," he informed me.

"Dude you need to remember to close the gate

every time you come in," Richie reminded him

before hitting him upside the head.

"Oww! What the **** Rich! I did close it,"

Gabe spoke rubbing the back of his head.

I was about to say something but dipshit

walked back in. "I'm back," he chirped, not

taking his eyes off the phone in his right hand

while a glass of water in his left.

"Bummer," I mumbled.

I turned around to look at Lucifer who no

longer had my phone in his hand. He was

full-on glaring at Godric.

"Uhh, where's my phone?" I asked, looking at

both of his empty hands.

I then heard something shatter. The room

got silent again and I turned to see where the

noise came from. Godric had dropped the cup

of water causing the glass to shatter. His face

was drained of emotions as if he had seen a

ghost.

"Did you really think you could run?" a deep

voice behind me chuckled addressing Godric.

"What?" I muffled out in confusion.

Godric opened his mouth to speak but

stuttered. "I-I thought I lost you," his voice

shook with fear. It was weird, I never saw

Godric like this before.

"You are probably the stupidest Demon ever,"

Lucifer chuckled deeper.

"You're a what!?!" I yelled trying to process

what was happening in front of me.

Godric sighed then looked at me, "A Demon."

I paused for a moment and started to walk

over to James but a hand grabbed my wrist

and pulled me back. It was Lucifer. His grip

tightened around my wrist as I was next to

him. I tried to get out of his grip but somehow

he was really strong. I tried to use my powers

but nothing was happening. All my guys had

their backup pistols pointing to Lucifer.

"I would stop trying if I was you. I'm immune

to your powers," Lucifer informed me as he

glared at me.

After a while I stopped, then it hit me. "What

does all this have to do with me or my guys?

I mean if you're after Godric, he's right there.

You can have him," I spoke.

"You want to tell her or should I?" Lucifer

asked Godric who was still shocked. "I guess

I will. He was going to kill you and take your

powers just so he can be more powerful than

me," Lucifer explained.

I slouched in his arm as I was looking at

Godric hoping to see if it was a lie. Nothing.

His eyes didn't have any emotions towards

Lucifer's explanation.

"It could've worked if you hadn't shown up,"

Godric spat.

My guys turned to Godric and fired but he

disappeared. So much for having a childhood

with that piece of shit. He should have died

during that 12 years. I didn't realize my name

was being called until Lucifer turned me

around so we were face to face.

"You okay?" he asked.

I just nodded and turned around. I started

running up the stairs and knew tears were

streaming down my face. Someone grabbed

my hand and pulled me down into their

chest. I burst out crying through their chest.

Everything bottled up was now coming back

to me. The person's arm wrapped around me

and rubbed my back.

"It's going to be alright. We're not going to let

anything happen to you. Don't cry," James

spoke soothing words to me.

He held me as I cried continuously. Everything

kept replaying in my head like a movie and

I felt more overwhelmed than ever. Out of

everything that has happened to me, this is

the one thing that broke me.
