So I'm posting 2 chapters today :) YAY but im also a little worried. I got a few reviews that im woried about like "huh..." and "heh..." Am i still writing ok? Is my story getting confusing or boring because i thought i was doing a great job but maybe im not. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. I cant fix it if you don't tell me. Just please try not to make it too harsh. I was really hurt when a guest told me the story was as bad as the summery so it was horrible and i should open a book. also i'd like to thank my editor for checking for grammar and spelling.
The man was done watching and waiting it was time to act. Davenport would have to be lured from the house. It would be no fun to kill him along with his family. He needed to suffer just as he had. Davenport deserved to watch as the ones he loved burned in front of his eyes. But that could not happen. He would just have to settle with Davenport's reaction when he comes home to find the ones he loved carcasses below a pile of rubble.
Davenport rushed from the house. All the family could hear was "Taking the plane to Mexico. A lab's malfunctioning. Edie lock down the house if that man comes back."
"We should be going with," Chase said, after their father had rushed out the door.
"I think he's worried," Spike said sympathetically. "That man hasn't been seen in a week and Mr. Davenport is getting jumpy."
"Yea," Bree agreed. "The man didn't even show up on the heat scans. It was like he was a ghost."
"Do you think he caused the stuff in the lab to break?" Adam asked.
"I doubt it," Chase said. "The only lab in Mexico is working on experimental energy. It's been unstable for months. Mr. Davenport thought they might be able to stabilize it but I guess he was wrong."
"But it wouldn't cause a big enough problem to need Mr. Davenport there," Spike said. "I mean what's the worst possible scenario. None of it is toxic or fatal in any way."
"Maybe he thinks he can save it," Bree chimed in.
"Maybe," Spike said hesitantly. He looked over at Chase, the glancing at Bree.
"Oh," she said, facepalming herself. Adam glanced at her. "Adam want to help me train in the lab?" She asked, smiling.
"We just trained this morning," he said.
"But it'll be fun," she said. "You get to hit stuff." He looked like he was considering it.
"What's going on?" he asked. He knew something was up. Bree never wanted to train and everyone was acting weird. It was like they were hiding something from him. Bree burst out laughing for no reason a few times and Chase is getting more jumpy, especially around him.
"Nothing at all," She said, looking confused. She was a good actor, but supposedly Adam was a lot more observant then they thought. "Just come on," she groaned before grabbing his wrist.
"Fine," he said. "But after this, you'll tell me the secret." Everyone in the room stiffened. Bree looked at the boys.
"Adam, do you care about me?" Chase asked.
"Yea," he said more hesitantly.
"Then I should tell you I have a date and you won't ask me any questions."
"You have a girlfriend" Adam gasped. Chase's face grew pink.
"Something like that. Umm and she's coming over and I'd like it if you'd go away." Adam started laughing.
"That's your big secret. Why haven't you told me? You thought I'd make fun of you? Is it because she's geeky? Cuz I know she is." Chase grew redder.
"So, can you go downstairs?" He asked again.
"Please tell me who it is" Adam pleaded. Chase shook his head. "Is it Jane? Or Jenny, or Danna, no Suzy, Barra?" He asked, as Chase shook his head every time. "I'm not leaving till you give me a hint." He chuckled. Chase turned to Spike.
"Adam, will you still care about me if… if I tell you something" Adam's smile vanished.
"What is it, Chasey?" He asked. The younger boy wasn't pink anymore. He was bone white. "Chase, you can tell me."
"Adam it's… it's not….not a girl" He gasped out. His brother froze.
"Oh"
"Adam?" Chase asked. His brother still hadn't said anything.
"I should have guessed," he laughed. "Well ok, you don't have to tell me. I'll leave you alone." Chase sighed in relief. "Oh and one more thing" Adam said, getting serious. If this guy hurts you, I will find out who it is and I will hurt him." Chase nodded trying to ignore the irony of the situation. The two siblings went to the lab.
"That worked out well," Spike smiled. "What do you have planned?" Chase smiled back, his face returning to a normal shade, if not slightly pinker.
"I was thinking we would order pizza and watch a movie." Chase said, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Sounds great." Half an hour later the pizza was there and How To Train Your Dragon 2 was in the DVD player. "Edie lights," Spike called. The lights went out.
"Don't do anything I need to tell Davenport about" Edie said. "That means clothes on at all times." Both boys blushed.
"Ok," they said together. The movie started and Spike lay in his boyfriend's arms. Downstairs Adam and Bree were in the middle of virtual training.
"Behind you," Bree yelled as a boulder crashed down the mountain they were fighting on. The wind whipped around them and was getting worse. They fought, but there was only two of them and were slowly pushed farther up the mountain. When they hit the summit, there was nothing more they could do.
"We need Chase," Adam groaned, dodging a laser.
"Just cover me," she yelled. He was right though. They couldn't do this alone. They were proven right only twenty minutes later.
"That went horrible," Adam groaned plopping down on the ground.
"Yea," Bree sighed.
"If Spike was fine he could have hel…. Where's Spike?" Adam asked. Bree stumbled, grabbing the computer table for support.
"He's…." she stuttered. Adam looked around as if expecting the boy to appear out of nowhere.
"He should be down here. Chase wouldn't want him upstairs. If his date saw him then everything would be ruined. Our secrets would be out. We have to go get him" He realized trying to get past Bree.
"No, Adam, it's fine" she said.
"No, it's not. We need to find him before Chase's date sees him." Bree just shook her head. Adam froze his eyes going wide. "No," he whispered. "NO WAY."
"Adam," Bree scolded.
"Is Chase dating Spike?!" he yelled.
"You even try to get upstairs, I promise I'll put up one hell of a fight" she growled, getting into a fighting stance.
"You knew. But they're the same person." This time he didn't make an attempt to leave.
"Adam, you have to control yourself. You remember last time you jumped to conclusions." She warned.
"They're really together," he asked, his voice going soft.
"Yea," Bree said. Hesitantly she got out of her stance. Adam shook his head.
"Is that what he said?" He asked, looking shocked and appalled. "Is that what Spike told Chase? Did I almost kill someone for liking my brother?" Adam fell back down to the ground, his butt hitting with a thump.
"He doesn't blame you," Bree said soothingly.
"So, it's true," he whispered, looking at his sister with the softest scared eyes she ever saw him have. "Spike told Chase he liked him and I beat him to an inch of his life?"
"Yea."
"Oh god. Chase must hate me."
"No, he doesn't," Bree told him. She needed to change the topic to the important question, but Adam was on the verge of a panic attack and didn't want to give him any ideas. She made her decision to risk it. If it came down to a fight then she would fight. "Adam, what're you going to do?"
"What?" he asked.
"What are you going to do?"
"I can't do anything," he said confused. "What would I do?"
"I don't know, attack them, try to kill Spike." She said. He wasn't going to do anything. Chase and Spike were safe, at least for now. Adam looked angry. "Uh oh," she thought.
"Do you really think I'd do that?" He asked her.
"You did almost kill Spike."
"I thought he was hurting Chase," he countered. "He's not hurting him. If Chase is happy then I'm not going to take that away from him." Bree sighed, relieved. They didn't have long to be happy though. The house began to shake and the house above them, making a cracking sound.
