Chapter 4:
"Piper, be nice. No need for the claws." Amirra said, walking over to him. "See I told you they would react like this." Domiwick said to Amirra as he held his arm out to her. "No, she's just on the fritz. She's been having some nightmares recently. They won't seem to go away." Aerrow said helping me up.
"Oh really, what were they about?" Domiwick asked locking a very disturbing gaze on me. An ice cold shiver ran down my spine as a warning not to tell him. I don't know why, but I went with the warning.
"Nothing much you know just the average nightmare." I said staring right back at him. This was obviously not the answer he was looking for. Something is not right, he's up to something, he never used to care about the events that occur in someone else's life. Does Amirra know what he's up to? We stayed in our stare down until Aerrow broke the silent with a question. "So Amirra, you said you had something to tell us?"
"Oh yes, you know that I came back to stay with you until my wedding day. And that I would came back with my fiancée. Well here he is the wonderful man that swept me off my feet." She said looking up at him with pure love in her eyes.
With this news hanging in the air, no one dared to breathe, not to mention speak. All that was running through my mind was why. The last time we meet him, he only cared about himself. But then a very disturbing though made its way into my head and forced its way out of my mouth.
"Amirra, where were you all this time. I mean you've been gone for almost 2 years." I wondered aloud.
"That is a fair question." She said and took a pause before continuing. Her gaze found its way to the ground. "I could tell you a lie, but that's all I've been doing for along while. So I think you deserve the truth on this. I've been working under Master Cyclonis. Just as a cook. I was trying to get some things out of her, or anyone for that matter, that might have been useful to a squadron to take her down." She was looking at the ground the whole time.
"That's why you up and left?" Aerrow asked. The strange thing was he didn't sound hurt or mad, just curious. She looked up at him, a tiny bit of hurt in her eyes. She had evidently lost her voice and only nodded to us. I still couldn't help but feel that everything not was hunky dory. Domiwick was bringing this evil feel into the house.
Why did Amirra ever say yes? "Well, to end on a better note, Amirra don't you want to ask Piper something?" Domiwick said raising his bride's head up to look him in the eyes. All of us felt sick to our stomachs at this point.
"Oh yes, I almost forgot, thank you hunny. Piper, I was wondering if you would honor me by being my maid of honor?" She practically squealed.
"I-I don't know what to say." I looked at my team for help. They all nodded slightly. "Well, why not. I would love to be your maid of honor." I replied with the smallest of smiles. "Oh yes, thank you so much. You won't regret this. Come on we have to get started." She said grabbing my wrists.
"Started? Start doing what?" I asked completely confused. "Well we have to get dresses and get our make-overs done." She explained "Why in such a rush? When is your wedding anyway?" Finn asked. "Well, we decided to get married as soon as possible, meaning today. As soon as we're all ready, will start the ceremony." Domiwick answered. "We are also going to the mall to get our things gentlemen." He continued. All the boys paled at the thought of spending that much time with Domiwick alone.
"To the mall." Amirra shouted and dragged us out to our skimmer. "I'll be right there darling. I'm going to put our stuff in the spare bedroom." Domiwick shouted out at Amirra. "Ok don't take to long." She answered bowing him a kiss. I felt bile coming up my throat.
"Trust me I won't need long to find what I'm looking for." Domiwick said devilishly, as he headed up the stairs, and towards my room.
