"Holy shit." Jace said once it was over.
"I know, i just, i can't understand how they could all be so calm." Iz said
"Some people are better at holding their emotions in. And plus, they must have been in shock." I said, looking in my rear view mirror "Wait, isn't that her car?"
"And Simon's?" Jace said.
"Their following us. Let's go. Now Alec!" Starting up the car again, i started on our way towards our house.
"Is dad gonna be home?" Iz asked, her eyes flashing back and forth, from the road to the the mirror.
"No he's on call tonight?" Jace answered
"Mum?"
"She's having dinner with some old friends. Do you not listen when they talk?" Jace said.
"So," Iz said, ignoring Jace, "we're all alone with a bunch of crazy people following us."
"So not go home." Jace suggested, as we turned down the old highway, a short cut that cut the time by half to get home.
"I don't know. But i don't think we should be on this empty road, with five cars following us, with 15 or so people, who think we know their deepest, darkest secret."
"We do know it though." I said, which got a glare from Iz.
"And they probably want to keep it that way." Jace added "Maybe they'll kill us, make it look like an accident."
"Oh my god, please angel." Iz said. "Go faster Alec, they're gaining on us."
"They'll know we know they are following us."
"Oh they already know, now step on it." Jace said. "I know what good of a driver you are."
Going faster and faster, they went faster as well.
"Come on Alec." I turned onto a dirt road and drove as fast as i could.
"Maybe we should ask them, find out what they want."
"They know how to make people disappear Alec."
"They're our friends."
"They've known us for a few weeks, so what, their life long friend died and all they cared about were their reputations?"
"Listen i'm going to stop and we'll talk to them."
"But Alec, please please no."
"No, Iz. They probably want us to talk to them to promise not to say anything."
"Fine, but it's on your head."
Stopping in a big field, I got out of the car, Jace and Iz still sat in their seats, just with their legs out and the door open and i leaned on the car, next to Jace. The stopped in front of us, and another car joined them, with Gideon and his friends, i didn't know were in town. Camille stepped out of her car, everyone followed suit, but still stood by their cars.
She began walking towards us.
"Shit, shit, shit." Iz kept muttering, as Jace got something out from under the car seat, and i knew what it was, a gun dad said to alway keep in our cars, to keep us 'safe'.
"Jace, put that away."
"Protection."
"What do you know." Camille asked, stopping a few meters away from us, everyone else standing behind her.
"What do you mean," Iz said, Acting coy "What about? English, Science, History, Maths? Need a study buddy?"
"Don't try and act stupid."
"We have no idea what you mean, you were the ones following us." I said, trying to play it cool.
"About Ragnor."
"Who?" Jace asked, stepping up next to me. While Iz did something on her phone, out of view to everyone else.
"You know who."
"Voldemort?" I ask
"Alec, stop." Magnus said, stepping forward. "Listen, do you know or what?"
"About Ragnor, that he's dead because you all love drugs?" Iz said, boldly, stepping up next to Jace and I.
"No one pressured him into taking anything." Tessa countered.
"Well you all did leave him to rot." Jace retorted.
"Listen, all we wanna know, are you gonna keep your mouths shut." Gideon said, stepping forward.
"So, none of you cared enough for him, to tell the truth." Iz asked.
"We cared for him, but he's dead, we're not." Jessy said
"We shouldn't have to loose our future on a dead kid." Sebastian said, coming forward. "How do you like them apples? You keep this a secret or you're dead." Then lifted a gun and pointed it straight at me. No one looked shocked to see him with a gun.
"Put it away Seb." Tessa said.
"No, listen, these newbies aren't gonna ruin our lives cause they have a conscience." He came forward, to see if we'd back down, and finally came straight up to me, with the gun to my forehead.
"Scared?" He asked.
"Nope. You've got it on safety." I say, smirking. Camille makes an annoyed noise, muttering under her breathe 'idiot'.
"Fuck." As he turns it off Jace gets the gun out of the back seat, takes safety off and points it at his head, this time everyone but Iz and I gasp.
"How do you like them apples, huh?" Sebastian dropped the gun and i picked it up, then he stood up and put his hands up.
"Yo man, no harm." He said.
"Really, cause a minute ago you had a gun to my brothers head." laughing a little bit.
"Yeah, but I've never shot somebody, it was just to scare you guys."
"Listen, dickweed." Iz says, stepping closer to Sebastian. "We are trained to kill, we can kick some serious ass. We are trained in all types of martial arts, know how to work all types of guns and seriously good with knives. Don't. Mess. With. Us. Or we'll fuck you up, and not in the good way."
"Iz. Enough. Jace, get the gun away from him." Then stepped away, and Sebastian let out the breath he'd been holding and fell to the ground. "Sebastian, i'm sorry for my siblings behavior." Extending my hand, which he ignored, and ran back to his friends, who all locked a little shocked and scared.
"Just, what do you know?" Camille asked, voice wavering.
"We got a video, of the whole night." I said.
"And?"
"And we'll keep our mouths shut." Iz said.
"Why?" Magnus asked, looking at me with sad eyes, which i returned with a small smile.
"At a price?" Camille asked.
"No motives, no money. Gideon's right, he's dead, you aren't. We'll delete the video." Iz said.
"I want to see you delete it."
"Okay." Getting a black iPhone out of the seat, she held her phone up and deleted the text. Showing Camille the phone and saved videos to see nothing was there. They started to leave.
Camille stopped, just before she got into her car and gave us a warning "Tell anyone, and we'll make you're lives a living hell." then told everyone to get in their cars.
"So does this mean we're still their friends... or?" I ask as we get back into the car.
"No," Iz said "We'll sit somewhere else, i don't want to look at them right now. We'll be lucky if they don't try and ruin our lives to prove a point."
"Iz, that wasn't your phone you used." Jace says
"Yeah, i used Alec's."
"So what are you going to do with the video?" Jace asks
"We're going to find out who sent it."
"You can't, it's blocked." I say
"Yeah, but one of those phone dudes can, we have favors everywhere. Then they will trace the call and we'll find the person."
"What for?" Jace asks. "I thought you didn't want to 'look at them'."
"Doesn't mean i don't care, i bet someone is black mailing them, that's why they've been so jumpy. We're gonna find the bastard, for our friends."
"So much for not caring."
"Shut up and drive."
