Mark owns everything, Isn't that obvious.
"Shelby, what is the matter" Wings voice showed his concern clearly not like his normal voice which was just dead pan.
"I'm fine" she replied sharply her voice sounded dead.
"Hi, I'm Ellen Trinity" Ellen smiled at the 'tall, dark and handsome' type boy who stood in front of her.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, I am wing, are you Shelby's sister be any chance" wing asked politely. Shell hadn't told him about any sibling that she had.
"The one and only" Ellen laughed. Otto and Laura came up behind wind holding hands they had been dating for about a month now.
"Wooh, that is freaky Shelby you look like you are three years younger" Otto laughed
"How can you mistake Ellen for Shelby" wing look completely confused
"It was a joke, never mind, I see you have met are Mr. no cense of humour" Otto smiled again
"And now you Ellen have met the love birds Otto and Laura" Wing retorted.
"Hey, that's not fair" Otto said pretending to be hurt.
"Shelby is there something wrong" Laura asked she had just noticed her best friend sat at the sofa with her head in her hands
"I am fine, what part of that do people not understand" Shelby snapped
"The bit where your sister is sat next to you and you look like you are about to break down" wing said calmly. He could see that Shelby was in a bad way, and he knew her sister had something to do with it, he was not stupid.
"Otto, Laura why don't you take Ellen to the dinner hall and get her some supper. I need to talk to Shell" Otto could tell that this wasn't a question wing was probably the only person who could get through to Shelby.
Wing would never admit it but he liked Shelby as more than a friend, but he didn't wasn't to ruin their friendship. Wing watched as Otto pulled Ellen and the reluctant Laura towards the door, when they were out of ear shot he sat down next Shelby, who was still looking at the floor.
"What happened?" He asked gently.
"I was always so carful, left nothing that could be tracked back to me. What have I done" Shelby sobbed.
"Tell me what has happened" Wing asked again.
It didn't take Shelby long to explain what had happened wing sat and listened occasionally asking questions, when she had finished she was in tears again. Wing put his arm around the sobbing girl; he didn't come across many crying girls so he was at a loss what to do. He wasn't used to seeing Shelby like this she usually had all her walls up, normally she was untouchable. Soon Shelby's tears were replaced with anger.
"Dam him, dam him to hell" she yelled not caring who heard. She stormed out of the atrium causing a group of bewildered first years to scatter. Wing decided to follow her in this state god knows what she might do. Just as he came out of the atrium he saw her figure sprinting around the corner towards the gym, he picked up his pace and followed by the time he caught up with her she was already punching the heavy bag with all her might. He stood in the doorway for a few minuets watching her. Once she was puffed out she sat on the floor and turned her head to look at him.
"You know it is rude to stare" She panted. Wing walked over and sat down next to her
"Sorry" He replied.
"Is that it, out of all the smart arse wise cracks you could have said you say sorry?" She sounded annoyed.
"What do you want me to say?" he asked, his voice was completely calm
"I don't know, I want you to tell what to do because at the moment I am at a complete loss I have a no idea how I am going to sort this out" Shelby stood up and walked to the opposite side of the room facing the wall.
"I can't tell you what to do, only you can do that." wing was still sat on the floor
"No one ever knew who I was."
"…And that is why you are so upset this has nothing to do with the ruby, you feel like you have lost your safety net so you feel self conscious. You are an amazing thief just because someone has found out who you are doesn't mean you should lose yourself. This isn't the shell that I know; this isn't the confident, smart, beautiful shell that we all know and love..." Wing stopped, the next few words played in his head that I know and love. Shelby had gone very quiet she carried on staring at the wall as Wing left. After he was gone her knees gave way. She sat on the floor and replayed all that Wing had said over and over in her head.
Wing sat eating his dinner Otto and Laura were chatting to Ellen and her room mate Mary about their adventures at H.I.V.E. The girls were enthralled by it all.
"You saved air force one, aren't you supposed to be villains not heroes" Mary laughed she was a slim girl with jet black hair she was Russian but spoke perfect English
"Sometimes you have to do the right thing to do the wrong thing" Laura said cryptically. Shelby walked over and put her plate down with a bang. She looked tired there were dark circles under her eyes and she looked like she had been fighting for the last half hour non-stop.
"Hi, I'm…" Mary started
"I don't even care" Shelby finished. She spent the rest of the meal moving her food around on the plate. Ellen was watching her sister, She knew that this wasn't to do with the ruby.
"You never told us what the deal was earlier" Otto asked Shelby, she didn't reply
"Can I tell them shell" Ellen asked.
"Go on then, they are going to find out sooner or later. Shelby carried on staring at her food. It took the rest of the meal to explain to the kids what had happened, they ask more questions than wing had done, and when she finished the dinner hall was nearly empty.
"So an assassin is coming after Shelby because she stole a Ruby, they have found out who she is and are out to get it back and if you don't give it back they are going to kill your family. Simple answer give it back!
"I think we should go back to the atrium and discuss our options" Otto spoke carefully as if to avoid any offence
"I agree" Wing spoke for the first time all dinner.
