Chap. 18: Six- Shifted

I frowned when Two made us stop looking at the guns. It wasn't fair I really loved those guns. I heard Three growl a bit but then she stopped out her dumb loyalty for Two.

It was just sad to see the guns being put away.

There was something of Three that reminded me of a girl I haven't even laid a thought to in more than a decade (Brick taught me the word when he said how stupid I sounded saying 10 years, they're the same thing I think) and her name is or was Buttercup Utonium. That little tomboy was perhaps the best girl I ever met.

She was special all right but she was dead…not dead but murder…and not by some random dude running up from the street but by me.

It was the worst thing I ever did. Her bright green eyes that showed confidence and toughness looked broken and defeated when I robbed her from her last breath. I barely thought about it but sometimes I will go deep in to the woods of the Green Regions and wait for her if she came.

She never did but Three appeared. She was just like Buttercup, tough and confident. I liked the fact that somehow I got a second chance.

"Stop staring at me, stupid." Three growled. I grinned she was a hard one (thankfully not like Two)

"Why will I stare at you?" I snapped.

"Are you calling me a liar?"

"Who ever said I was-"

"Stop!" Five growled. I looked back at him and saw his chocolate brown eyes erupting like brown flames. I guess Three saw it too because she crossed her hands. Two paled as we kept walking. I don't know what to say now. Nothing happened only that Three was grumbling curses at me, I chuckled and Three glared at me.

"Can we rest?" Seven complained and Three rolled her eyes.

"I suppose we can," Five grumbled and I realized he was carrying an unconscious Two.

"Finally!" Seven said and he sat down. Four giggled a bit but she sat down next to Three. I rolled my eyes at Seven but he didn't seem to notice. Five placed Two in a sitting position but Two looked weak, her face full of sweat and her breaths coming out as gasps.

In much less words…she looked horrible, really, really horrible.

Three raised an eyebrow as she caught me looking at her fearless leader. I chuckled darkly, was the brunette jealous of the redhead?

"We are still far," Four moaned as she looked around. "One's place is further north and with Boss like this…"

"I know," Three grumbled as she bit a strawberry. "Boss would get worst."

"We're going to have to go here," Four mumbled and Three hissed.

"The last time I was there that…"

"Three!"

"Ugh! I am going to kill him if he tries to make a move again." She growled dangerously. I burst out laughing. Seven and Five looked at me as if I lost my mind.

Making fun of Three…maybe I did lose my mind because this girl can kill me.

"Who would to hit on you?" I laughed and Five shot up his eyes looking like hard chocolate.

"Shut up," He growled and he looked around. He took out one of Two's guns and walked around. Three shot up to and she held her gun up. Suddenly Four was grabbed and she was held at gunpoint.

"Let her go," Seven growled as he took out one of Four's guns. I took out one of Three's. Five position himself in front of Two who stood up weakly holding her gun.

"Is this what became of the Numbers?" the man growled. I looked closer and realized that he was looking at Three with pure hatred. Three's eyes reflected the hatred back.

"What do you want?" Two snarled. The man gulped but he still held Four who looked unmoved by the gun in her head.

"This is my territory," he growled. Two narrowed her eyes.

"We don't care about your precious territory Ace," she growled and I looked at the man. He looked about our same age and he narrowed his eyes at Three.

"What about her?"

"She has no interest either."

"Last time she came…"

"I know!" Three growled. "I nearly destroyed your precious territory."

"It took me a long time to…"

"Can you let go of me?" Four asked smoothly. Ace narrowed his eyes at her but let her go.

"Are you going to let us pass?" Two asked in a dangerous tone, everyone but Five stiffen. Ace shook his head. He looked at us.

"There's too many of you." He said as he pointed towards the small road that looked hand built.

"What are you talking about? You smuggled families to the North before." Two said crossing her hands. I looked at her dumbfounded. This happened in my territory? I could feel Five and Seven stiffen and I saw Three raised her eye as she noticed our shocked expressions. I cursed silently at myself for acting too much like Butch Jojo.

"Is not so easy now." He growled. "Butch Jojo didn't care too much about these territories but the Mistress does." I stiffen as he said my name but I had to let go…Two and Three (I doubt Four will but who knows?) could kill me and my brothers if they knew…

"So she's worst," Two grumbled and Ace nodded.

"There are more guards, the people are more scared, and the North is just a dream to them." Ace growled. "Took a lot of my customers, she scared them sick and they wouldn't dare to cross."

"What else do you know about the Mistress?" Two asked. Ace snickered.

"I'll cost you, gorgeous." He said pointing at Seven's gun. Two growled and she narrowed her eyes at Ace.

"How do I know the information is worth it?" she growled and Ace gulped, taken back by her dangerous reaction.

"You don't, gorgeous." He said simply, trying to recover himself. Five growled at him.

"Tell us." He said. Ace narrowed his eyes but nodded.

"The Mistress is a shape-shifter she can change into whatever person you are thinking about when you look at her…" Ace said and Five paled.

"How do you know you liar?" Three barked and Ace raised an eyebrow.

"I saw her," He said sitting down. Three looked at him. "I was thinking of…" he looked at her and Three paled.

"Go on," she croaked.

"I saw you…she managed to change into you and it nearly cost me my life." He said with a growl. Three narrowed her eyes at him and looked away. Suddenly there were screeches that were closing in. Ace cursed under his breath and he took out a large gun. Everyone aimed their guns at the sound. Three narrowed her eyes and she looked confident and beautiful. We looked around, but the screeches stopped.

"Why did they stop?" Four whispered looking around. I set my jaw. This can't be good. Suddenly I saw Three looking at me, her lips in a smirk…but her eyes were wrong…

"Three?" I asked dumbfounded.

"What Six?" I heard someone grumble behind me and I looked back and saw Three looking at me with frown as if I gone stupid.

"I just saw you there…" I said as I pointed at the empty spot. Suddenly Three was kicked and I looked and saw a brunette with wild and dark green eyes that were darker than mine when I wasn't wearing these stupid contacts.

"Who are you?" I growled as Three groaned. Two and Four were kicked by a redhead and a blonde haired girl.

"Do you really want to know you idiot?" she snickered. I growled. I could see that Five and Seven looked at the other girls with pure hatred.

"Is that a way to treat the rebels my girls?" I heard someone else say dramatically. "My, I thought I taught you better than that!" she purred.

"The Mistress," Five said with venom. The woman looked hot for a second until she came to the light. (*gag*) She had sticky gold hair and icky gold eyes. I saw the demons closing in and grabbing Two, Three and Four who were struggling.

"Oh my!" she squealed with fake delight. "The boy who stole my medicines…" she narrowed her eyes at Five. She looked at the three girls. "Finish the rebel girls." She said pointing at Two, Three and Four. Two narrowed her eyes.

"No!" Five said and the evil redhead smirked.

"Aw," she teased darkly. "The thief fell in love with the rebel." She said and Five hesitated. Suddenly one of the demon things grabbed Seven who tried to free Four. I was realized that I was being chocked by a demon thing who was trying to stop me if I tried anything smart. I growled as the demon thing chocked me harder.

We were doomed all right.
