14 fourteenth piece of the broken cage: the monster dressed as a daydream

Her blood-red nails kept petting her chin.

The rosy hair fell all over her shoulders as she stared down at him.

William could feel his heartbeat faster as he struggled to keep his shortcoming breath under control.

Her grey eyes pierced into his soul and clawed at the walls of his already damaged mind.  The dress she was wearing was making her appear

Even more terrifying.

" William? ... Long time no see my boy . How have you been? "

William swallowed hard as he cleared his throat and as calmly as his beating heart would allow him, he answered.

" As far as your beauty my lady. "

She smiled ... Her devil smile. Her chin was resting on her fisted fingers as her long nails grazed the inside of her palms. She swung her left leg over the other under her dress and leaned into her throne.

" Hmm... I have deeply missed your honey-flavored  tongue, Will .... "

Will tried his hardest not to knit his black eyebrows together as The queen stood up from the high chair and walked over to his kneeled form.

Her high heels making those clicking noises on the polished floor. The closer she got the more his body trembled. Her dress swishing around her long pale legs, her tall frame casting a long shadow above his smaller form.

She placed a hand against his left cheek as she roughly took a hold of his chin and snapped his bowed head up to her dangerous eyes.

Her red long hair was sliding over her thin shoulders, making red lines all over her body.

" Long time ago, I had heard that they said, Lewis's eyes capture your own into a trap of never-ending love and desire ... Before killing any hope and leave your poor body in a texture of poison and serpent blood .....they said that a boy with beautiful lips would become like a red wine as you drink them in ....but you.... you're different .."

She titled her head just a tiny bit, making Will froze.

" Your lips look like they are begging to be kissed. You may Lewis's eyes....but your go deep to the cold ocean ....and your neck ? "

A smile came over her bloody lips as her hand moved over his thin neck.

" .....is begging to be broken .."

Will shudders hard at that as The queen gave out a laugh and let go of him before going back to her throne.

Her long dress passing over him.

" William, I'm hoping you enjoy your stay here, and please make sure Jay is back at the castle ...I need to talk to him. "

Will nodded with a whispered ' yes my lady '

As he bowed down and was about to leave the large room the woman spoke...

" My boy ....don't forget that serpent love fresh meat...I'm hoping you understand what I meant. "

Julia had a hard time carrying asleep ...more like an unconscious Diana over her back as she walked over to the address Jay had given her.

Jay gave her, his cap to cover her face as much as possible as she moved through the large population.

The snow had started to fall and had the cold ground covered by the white blanket.

Too bad the big machines were corrupting the little space of peace the snow had left. She placed with the hem of the cap a little to cover her face better as she adjusted Diana better on her back. The girl was surprisingly light. Her arms all over her shoulders as she took careful steps on the icy floor.

People were rushing back home as The Black Hunters gazed down on the lonely bloody streets full of the scared population who had their hopes long-buried into the deepest depths of their already bleeding hearts.

Julia had seen these streets blown and had seen them being killed as men and women one by one came tumbling down on them.

She had seen hope die in her friend's eyes.

Liam died in his mind

Tia broke down the walls to survive

Clark forgot his secrets

Scarlet lied threw her sharp teeth

William was drowned in his oceans

Jody let go of her monsters

Adrian became the lost piece of the puzzle

Jay sold his soul to the demons ...

Tia has twisted the knife into the body and let it slide down to the ground. She was panting and as she looked over her shoulder to glance at Jay, she saw him drag a body of a woman to the pile they had so proudly made out other BH.

She smirked ...it was like the old days.

" Since when do you fight with a woman? "

Jay swished his bloody baseball bat around and let the still fresh blood leak from the top of it from all those skulls he so ruthlessly had broken.

He twisted his shoulders as turned to look at her.

" Since when do you kill? "

The smirk on her lips grew wider. Tia ran a hand through her short blond hair and rubbed the back of her neck.

Jay had thrown the bat over his shoulder and was resting his arms on top of it.  He had knotted his black jacket around his waist and was wearing his black jeans and his black t-shirt that was not a wise thing to wear in the snow that was falling off of the sky. Not that Tia was wearing something better.

Her icy eyes glanced down at her self.  A tank top that was half shredded and a short that was up to her thigh.  The thing was that the adrenaline of the fight kept you warm....like she was sweating and let's not talk about Jay's back.

It was fun ...to be back with her friend who was an ass and an awesome fighter. 

Clark was too careful and he tried to stay out of fights as much as he could. William rarely fought, talking was his way of solving the problem but to Jay and Tia, fists came first then they could talk in between the punching and kicking. 

" So are we going? "

Tia stretched her stiff muscles and nodded her head.

There was still so much way to Jody's apartment. And with the way, the BH was manhandling the streets as if they owned them it would take much longer because not only was she on the list of the wanted Gifteds but also Jay was the Gifted that they didn't want to kill because he was useful. But now he was risking his place to help them out ...help her out.

It was a bold move ....if they were caught it would be the nd lone for both of them. Tia would be killed almost instantly and Jay would be thrown into prison until the queen took his head. The traitor Gifteds had the worst punishment ...

Queen was a queen after all....off with Their heads.

" Are you sure they wouldn't get us? "

Jay laughed. . all over his exposed skin was turning a dark color from all the bruises he had gotten. His left arm had a deep, bleeding cut on it as the pale skin was turning extreme red from the cold and blood.

" They're probably aching to get their hands on us ... I wouldn't look forward to getting out of here alive. "

Tia gave a bitter smile.

" Thanks for the vote of confidence. "

" Sure don't mention it. "

They kept walking and the only sound was the crunch, coming from the breaking ice beneath their feet. 

Tia was playing with her knife and was staring at the sky and sometimes at the boy next to her.

Jay was two four younger than her. He was three inches taller than her. Five years ago he wasn't this muscular and he was till her shoulders .boys grow fast they said.

The thing that bothered her a lot was that he didn't know how to kill. He wasn't a street fighter and he sure as hell didn't have this amount of bruises as a second skin. Sure he was a fighter and he was head to head with Clark almost all the time but even then he wasn't this bad .....and he wasn't this scared. Most of the scars were hidden under his shorts she just knew but the amount on his neck wasn't a good sign.

She wanted to ask him how did he get the most alarming scar which was just under his jugular. The big, thick line started from his sharp jawline and ran down to his collarbone, and disappeared under the collar of his black shirt.

Jay walked a little ahead as if he knew that she was absorbing him from head to toe. Tia wasn't embarrassed he was her Little brother, and she had every right to ask him whatever she wanted. She moved to grab his strong arm and spin him around but he turned around and they bumped into each other.

Tia's head went straight into his chest as she rubbed her nose.

" He_

Jay covers her mouth almost instantly. He pressed her again the wall and moved beside her to hide behind the tall wall between the street and the wall.

Tia looked over at him and moved his hand away from her face. Jay made a gesture to tell her to be silent. His bright eyes were alert and anxious.

Tia suddenly realized .... Those eyes were the same ones from five years ago. The same eyes that were crying as they dragged Will away.

Same blue oceans that were drowning himself.

He was still that boy that had come to her asking if he could stay over at her house because his stepmother didn't let him come home after his father's death ... The same boy that Will had to gather his pieces together and hug him to his already sobbing chest to comfort the boy that thought he didn't deserve it. Jayson was still the same boy from all those years ago Even if he had grown up ... His eyes overpowered adulthood into his childhood was still that boy ... He was just a boy...

But what was he scared of

As she slowly turned her head to the wall ... Her blood froze ..... Scarlet and an army of Black Hunters were marching to the street that had so luckily escaped from .... And they may have been able to take down but even they... The Alpha Gifteds were powerless when it came to an army full of armed soldiers that may be human but they had guns and the two of them just had a bat and a single kit hen knife Besides ...

Scarlet was standing in the middle of them ... Someone who maybe human ... But she was much more than that ...

Her icy eyes turned to Jay, who was crouched to the ground.

" What do we do now? "

Jay looked up at her ...

" I don't know ..."
