Harper's POV

I sprang up from my bed, sweat dripped from my forehead as my clothes stuck to my body. I pulled my long dark brown hair out of my face and hung my head in between my legs. I couldn't do it anymore, the nightmares.

"Tell us!" They screamed at him. He kept telling me to shush and keep quiet while they beat him to a pulp.

"Ryan!" I cried.

I shook it off walking to my shower removing my clothes. The hot water rushed over my body and I sighed in relief to get the stickiness off me.

Grabbing a fresh towel I dried myself and threw on a pair of jeans and a tank top, grabbing my lace up boots. I grabbed my jacket and walked outside to my car, I loved my car so much my beautiful mustang. Only this time when I walked out it had a man with two katanas on his back.

"Can you get off my car?"

"No." He smirked. I walked backwards bracing myself for the sword to pierce my body.

"I'm not going to hurt you beautiful, some friends and I have a proposition for you." He smiled. I waited for him to speak.

"What if I told you, if we could find the people who murdered your family?" There was thick heavy silence. I cried for so many nights wishing they would come back, knowing it was my fault that they died. And in reality I had nowhere else to go, this place I didn't even own.

"You are nuts." I shivered. An Asian guy stepped out beside him a gun pointed at me.

"Make this easy Harper; we don't want to hurt you. Join us, you have nowhere else to go, things will be better for you and you will finally be with people like you, we can make the pain go away."

I shook my head than raised my hand, I would make these pricks leave me alone. Before I felt something hit my neck with sharp pains. I looked up to see the katana guy picking me up before my world went black.

I opened my eyes where a bright light was hitting my eyes. Squinting I tried to wriggle around but only to see that I was in being held down by bands on a bed.

I moaned and tried to get out.

"It's no use; we are not here to hurt you. We know all about your parents, how they were murdered and we also know that you have been trying to find them ever since. I'm William Stryker and I can help you with your task."

"No." I spat at him, he only smiled.

"Where do you have to go? Your alone, here you will have people, people like you who are good people. "He smirked.

"Do I have a choice?" I asked aggravated.

"No."

He was right, I had no one and this was giving me a way where I could at least fuel my anger into something. That was until I get out anyways. He let me out of the bands while Zero grabbed his guns, I gave him the 'are you serious?' look because there was no way I would attack with this many people in the room. He put his gun back in the holder and I stood up stumbling a little bit before an arm caught me.

"Gentlemen this is Harper, the new member of our team. Harper this is Chris, Fred, James, John, Victor, Zero and Wade." Wade waved at me. I nodded to them and tried standing up before I stumbled back onto the bed, I quickly stood back up and steadying myself.

"James will show her where she is saying." James nodded then walked out, I followed him. He had dark black hair and was built, his side burns came down so far I was in shock, he looked to be the oldest on the team besides Stryker.

"Here's your room kid, if you need anything just ask." He said. I nodded sheepishly and hugged myself and walked in sitting down on my bed with tears in my eyes.

"Hey kid, you OK?" He asked, I nodded sniffing and looking up at him.

"Yeah, just…I'm fine." I smiled. He nodded and walked away, most of my stuff was already here as well as my car keys. I must have been out for a while. I shrugged and decided to explore, I walked out of my room and down the small corridor that lead to a kitchen.

There was a really big, guy not fat just bulky and the other scary guy. Victor I think his name was, he looked at me giving me an up and down then smiling cruelly at me. Fear pulsed through my body, that's when the bulky guy got up and threw me a packet of chips.

"You're a feisty one aren't you?" He smirked. He held out his hand to pick me up, I shook him away and stood up by myself. Now I got a proper look at him, he was so amazingly hot. His body was toned and he was taller than me so I was face with his pecks. I quickly walked away sliding down at the wall. That was embarrassing.

He walked out to Fred and Victor.

"She is hot, like amazingly hot. I don't know why we didn't recruit her sooner." He said.

"Shut up Wade." Victor spat.

"Vicky, you need to lighten up." He said rhetorically. I rolled my eyes and walked back to my room hoping that maybe when I woke up this whole thing would be over.
