“Hello?” My voice slurs. Shit.
“Emlyn, princess. Where are you?” My father voice sounds in my ear. Oh hell, I’m done. If he knows that I came to Liam’s party, I would be dead. “Princess listen to me carefully. You need to take your brothers and hide. They found you. I know that you don’t understand anything, but I promise I would explain everything when I’m back. I’m already on my way home, but please, you need to trust me. You need to run and hide somewhere safe. Don’t come home because people who are looking for you, are already there.” I don’t understand what he’s saying. Who are those people? Who is looking for me?
“Dad, I don’t understand. What is happening?” I ask.
“Listen, there is no time to explain now. You need to run! Remember when I told you once, that when I will ask you to run You will? You see this is the moment. Don’t ask any questions just listen and do what you’re told.” His words are harsh, but I hear the concern in them. My father is scared, and he is never scared. Of course, I remember him telling me this, but I never thought that he knew that something like that would happen. I thought that this was a part of training or some shit.
“Yes, dad. I’m going now. I will call as soon as I’m safe.”
“No, don’t call me. I will contact you when it’s gonna be safe. Please destroy your phone after this conversation. Take your brothers with you and tell Tyler that the time came. He will know what to do. And Emlyn? I love you. Remember that, please don’t trust anyone, because no one can be trusted.” With that, the line went dead. I stamp on my phone and it crushes under my feet.
I run inside and search for my brothers. Where the hell are, they? I spot Tyler still talking to Liam. They seem angry. I run to them and they both look at me concerned. They probably see my face because they both ask at the same time.
“What is going on?”
“Dad, he called, Tyler the time came.” His face pales. He quickly removed his gun from the back of his jeans and grabs my hand.
“We need to go. Where is Tyler?” He asks.
“I- I don’t know” I blur. Liam stops us.
“What is going on. Why did you remove your gun?” Liam asks putting his hand on my shoulder.
“Listen, boy, if you want to help, find Tobias. Emlyn is in danger; we need to run and hide before they will find us.” After Tyler’s sentence finishes a loud bang echo around. People start to scream and run in different directions. Someone falls on the ground and people start to run on him. Everything is a mess; I don’t know what is going on. I quickly remove my own weapons from my boots and step away from Tyler.
“I don’t know what’s going on, but they clearly found me already. We need to separate and look for Tobi. We gonna meet at Zac’s car in ten minutes.” I said and give one blade to Liam. “You gonna need this, do you know how to use it?” I ask. He removes his own gun from behind and smiles at me.
“I’m always prepared for the situation Morpho.” He shocks me. I never seen him with a weapon and them my father’s words come to me, he said before that the guy is dangerous and knows how to fight. I think he weren’t wrong because damn how sexy he looks now. I shake my head to concentrate. We don’t have time for that now. I nod my head at him and walk to find Tobias.
I run to the kitchen and a hand grabs my arm. I didn’t even think who it may be, I swing my blade at the attacker, and he groans in pain. It could mean that I slashed him. The man scowls at me and removes his gun. I didn’t wait long I swing again and cut his neck. The blood pours from it like a fountain. The guy starts to shake and fall on the ground, dead. Nice one, Em. I smile to myself and walk further the house. Everyone escape already and the house is quiet.
A loud bang could be heard from the other side of the house. I run it this direction and spot a man lays on the ground in the pool of blood.
“I know how to shoot; I had the same training you did Morpho.” I turn around to look at Liam. His face turns in ugly scowl and I know that someone is approaching me from behind. Before he could point his gun at the attacker, I back kick the person behind me and cross my two blades on the newcomer’s neck.
“What do you want? Who send you?” I ask the guy. He smirks at me.
“Your father wishes you happy birthday Amanda.” The guy says and I cut his neck deeply. The blood pours from him for a while and he stops moving.
“It’s not my birthday, you dick,” I say and remove my blades from his wound. I step away from him and look at Liam who’s now looking at me with approval.
“Nice one. You know how to use your weapons.” He says.
“So, do you,” I smirk at him and we run outside. We spot Tyler and Tobias waiting near Zac’s car. Tyler points his gun at my head, and
