Chapter 3 is here!
Just a note: This fic will be in third person with the first person perspective thrown in every now and then.
It was the day after the Shake It Up dancers met Damien and Cece had already had enough of hearing about him. He had made quite the impression on Rocky and she had had been talking about how Damien's hair had looked or how adorable his accent was all day. She was about ready to snap at Rocky and tell her that Damien wasn't right for her. That he'd never be right for her because she was perfect for Rocky. But of course, she didn't. Cece didn't want to scare her best friend/secret love so she nodded and agreed with whatever Rocky said about Damien.
Cece heard Gunter and Tinka walk by, talking about how amazing Damien's clothes were and how amazing they would look if he'd let them Be-twinkle them. She slammed her locker shut, making Rocky, who was standing nearby, jump and nearly drop the book she was currently looking in. Rocky frowned and looked at her. "Are you OK, Cece?" she asked.
"I'm fine Rocks, I just remembered that I left something in English. I'll be right back." Cece lied, quickly making her way down the corridor and into the girl's toilets before Rocky could see where she went.
Cece placed her hands on the counter top and leaned over the sink. She was relieved that it was the end of the day so she wouldn't have to worry about anyone walking in and asking her what was wrong. She looked in the mirror and scowled. Why did Damien have to show up? Things were going just fine until he showed up but now Cece couldn't go 10 minutes without wanting to pin Rocky against the nearest wall and kiss her senseless.
She shook her head and splashed some water on her face. Turning on the spot, she left the toilets and made her way back to Rocky. She turned the final corner, after making sure all the water had gone from her face, and saw Rocky waiting impatiently. "There you are!" she cried, "Took you long enough!" Rocky grabbed Cece by the arm and dragged her towards the main doors.
"Woah Rocks, where's the fire?" Cece asked.
"Nowhere, I told Damien I'd give him a tour of the area seeing as he's new here."
"Oh" Cece replied, a scowl making its way back on Cece's face. As the two neared the subway, Cece decided that now would be the perfect time to tell Rocky that Damien wasn't human. "You know Rock, there's something I need to te-"
At that moment a police siren started to wail, blocking out Cece's voice as it drove down the road next to them. By the time the wailing had died down, they had arrived at the subway and everyone was boarding. They duo rushed over so they wouldn't miss it. Rocky dropped down into the seat next to Cece, she looked over to her and asked "So you were saying Cece?" Deciding there was too many people around them, Cece shrugged it off.
"Don't worry, I'll tell you later" she said.
"You sure?"
"Yeah Rocks, don't worry about it."
The young man jumped out of the taxi and threw a few dollar bills at the driver before heading into the hotel in front of him. After checking in and dumping his bags, he made his way to the near-by school. He had managed to arrange a short term apprenticeship with the art department that would last for the rest of the school week as well as the week after. All he had to do was meet with the principle today to sort out what he'd be doing.
It was late by the time he made it back to his hotel room. He'd seen scouts around the city that appeared to by on look out for something, or someone, so he'd tried to avoid as many of them as possible but he had a feeling that it hadn't gone as planned. Too tired to get changed, he collapsed onto his bed still in his street clothes and fell asleep.
The phone rang on the counter top and Damien walked into the kitchen to get it. "What is it?" he asked.
"Sir, our scouts have spotted one of the two teens you warned us of multiple times during the day. What do you want us to do?" the disembodied voice of his hired assassin replied.
"Which one was it?"
"The boy, the girl has disappeared from our radar."
"Kill him while he sleeps. He won't know what hit him."
"Yes sir." the sound of a dial tone followed and Damien smirked. That pest had come to stop him but he had thought that through already. By sunrise that little brat would be no more and he would be free to take Rocky Blue as his. Nothing could go wrong. His plan was flawless.
The assassin slowly opened the window and silently jumped into the hotel room. He pulled out a small but deadly dagger. Standing at the edge of the bed, he looked down at his target. To think such a young man could be so dangerous! Taking a deep breath, he raised the dagger and readied himself for the killing blow. He swiftly brought the dagger down, aiming for the heart . . .
Suddenly the target's eyes snapped open and hands caught the assassin's wrist, stopping the blade less than an inch from his chest. The assassin froze as he stared into his target's eyes.
Bright red eyes stared back at him and the assassin paled. The hand around his wrist tightened its grip quickly and a loud snap resonated across the room. Before the pain of a snapped wrist could register in the assassin's body, he had been thrown across the room and pinned to the ground. "Nice try." the teen said "But not good enough."
He plucked the dagger from the assassin's hand and plunged in into his neck.
About a minute later he stood up and wiped his bloodied hands on his shirt. He picked up his phone and scrolled through the contacts before selecting one and pressing it against his ear. "Hello? Yeah it's me Toby. I'm gonna need that stuff by the morning. Oh, and I need a clean up done in my hotel room. Thanks."
And that was chapter 3! It took me longer than I wanted it to because of Children In Need. Bloody sad stories kept making me cry -_-
I apologise for how late this was published compared to the other chapters but 96jp007 was unable to give me feedback till this morning and I was unable to publish until now.
Hope you enjoyed!
Final Note: Reviews make me giddier than a chipmunk on drugs! They are much appreciated.
