Hey guys here's chapter 3. I hope you liked chapter 2 and I would like to send out a special thanks to xX Blood-Bond Xx for reviewing and helping me with this story, so thank you very much!
Melody is still asleep. She has no idea how much trouble she is in.
I woke just as someone kicked me in the ribs, hard. I cried out and recoiled. I wrapped my hands around my ribs and opened my eyes. As my eyes opened everything was so bright I had to close them again.
"What do you think, human?" a boy's voice asked from somewhere in front of me.
"Oh defiantly," another boy's voice said as I tried to open my eyes again with no luck.
"She looks so...fragile," another voice said closer this time. My eyes snapped open.
"I am not fragile," I snapped as I heard a gasp in front of me. My eyes adjusted to the bright light quicker than I thought they would and I gasped as I saw the most beautiful boy I'd ever seen crouching in front of me. He seemed to be taken by surprise because he just sat there, unmoving, starring at me.
"Good to know, girly," one of the other voices said from behind the incredibly handsome boy. I didn't say anything back, I was to captivated in the boy's beautiful green eye's.
"So what do you think Sage should we kill her now or bring her back to mother?" the same voice asked. When no one answered someone kicked the boy in front of me, "Sage!" it snapped.
The boy shook his head and looked up.
"What?" he asked as one of the other boys groaned. Now that I wasn't so occupied I saw that there were two other boys there also. All three of the boys had dark black hair and now that I got a closer look they all also had swords attached to their hips. It looked as if the boys were brothers, the one in front of me (or Sage) looked like he was the oldest, the one with blue eye's looked like the second oldest, and the one with grey eyes looked like the youngest. I couldn't be sure though, they all looked around the same age.
"I said do you think we should kill her now or bring her back to mother?" the one with blue eye's snapped in frustration.
"Kill me?" I asked quietly backing up. It was then that I noticed that my clothes were soaking wet and freezing. My teeth started chattering. Sage looked back at me and then stood up.
"I think we should bring her to mother," he answered looking back at the other boy.
"Why she looks like an ordinary human to me?" the youngest one asked crouching down in front of me. He looked at me closely as if observing me and then stood back up.
"I don't know," the second oldest said crouching sown in front of me. He looked at me to but his eyes lingered on my chest longer than anything else. I slapped him across the face and gasped as my hand started to sting. He looked at me in shock and then stood up. "I vote we kill her," he said glaring at me.
"No," I said as I started to crawl away from them. My legs suddenly went cold but when I looked there was nothing there, they just had snow covering them.
"What the hell," blue eyes snapped coming up to me. I started trying to crawl away again but he came to me and grabbed me by the arm, lifting my in to the air. I whimpered as my legs dangled uselessly in the air.
"Rowan, what are you doing?" the boy with the grey eyes asked coming up to Rowan.
"What does it look like Ash?" Rowan snapped as I grew cold for a second.
"I'm not sure that's why I'm asking?" Ash said back. Rowan tightened his grip on my arm and threw me against a near my tree. I landed on it with a thump and cried out as pain shot through my back. I didn't even notice the snow starting to fall around me. I started shivering as it dropped probably about 80 degrees.
"What type of glamour is this?" Rowan snapped as he unshed his sword and pointed it at me. I cowered away from it but he just stuck it under my chin. i winced as the tip touched my neck.
"G..g...glamour?" I managed to choke out before Rowan stabbed his blade deeper in to my neck.
"Rowan!" Sage said coming up next to him. Rowan lowered his blade and I put my hand to my neck immediately. They turned their backs to me and started whispering something. I couldn't hear what they were saying but I was pretty sure it wasn't good.
"MELODY!" I heard a voice scream from somewhere near. My eyes widened as I realized that I'd forgotten about Jake.
'He can't still be drunk,' I thought to myself as I got up ignoring the pain in my back.
"Is that you?" Sage asked coming up to my right. I nodded and backed up the slightest bit.
"MELODY!" Jake yelled again as he staggered through the trees, "there you are." He smiled at me.
"Jake?" I asked as I stepped backwards again.
"Melody I've been looking for you ever since I woke up," he said as his smile slipped off of his lips.
"You're not drunk anymore," I observed. "What do you want?"
"Only one thing," he said as he reached behind him, "to watch you burn in hell you little bitch," he said as he pulled a curved dagger from behind his back. when Sage, Rowan, and Ash saw the knife they backed up. I didn't get why, it was an old dagger my father used to use for hunting, he got it at a farmers market.
"Jake, stop," I said as I backed up even further. Jake laughed and lunged, I stumbled backwards but before I could run he jumped on top of me, making me land on the floor.
"Why am I going to listen to you?" he smirked as I tried to scratch him, having no luck. "Nice friends you got here, real protectors, they can't even save a girl," he smirked as he grabbed my arms and pinned them under him. I glanced at the boys and saw Ash and Rowan stiffen.
"There not my friends," I spat back.
"You've got that right," Jake laughed bringing the dagger to my throat.
"Why are you doing this?" I asked as I started struggling against him.
"You seriously don't know," he snapped, "you took everything from me, I wasn't ready to be a parent, but defiantly not your parent. You're the reason mom and dad are dead, they wanted to make you happy, they always thought that you were more important than me, well guess what you're not! You are nothing, you are a complete freak. I remember watching you talking to yourself when you were 14. You always saw the world as happy but yet you could barely even say hi to a stranger. What's so special about you anyway? Because you're not smart, or pretty, or even funny, your just a loser." He spat.
"I am not," I said as something snapped inside of me.
"Oh hell yeah you are," Jake laughed.
"NO I'M NOT!" I snapped as my eyes started to burn.
"Yes you are," he said trying to get the dagger to cut me more, but he was struggling.
"I AM NOT A LOSER!" I snapped as I pushed Jake off of me with strength I didn't know that I had.
"When the hell did you get so strong?" Jake asked as I stood up.
"I'm not the reason mom and dad are dead, I am not a freak, and I am important," I spat as my vision sharpened and something flowed through me. "I have always been stronger than you. I'm not the one who spent mom and dads savings on beer at a strip club, I am not the one who beat his little sister every night just to feel something, I am not the one who got so drunk he tried to rape her, and I am not the one who blames everybody but himself!"
"I.." he started as he raised the dagger. I slapped the dagger out of his hand. Everything disappeared at that moment, there was no more snow, no more Sage, Rowan, or Ash, no more forest, there was just Jake and my strength.
"I will always be more important than you," I spat before I watched him whither in pain. He felt every once of pain that I had ever felt because of him. I watched as his eyes rolled to the back of his head and I watched as he dropped dead to the floor. I smiled. My vision turned back to normal in a millisecond and I fell to the floor. My vision started to blacken around the edges and I watched as Ash, Sage, and Rowan walked to me. The last thing I saw before I blacked out was Sage look at me with worry.
