Chapter 3
Ari's POV

I think I am going to like it here. All the shapes-shifters are friendly and I think I can start to call this place home. Seth was still in the living room, watching TV when I finished talking to the Elders, Billy and Sue I think it was.
"Are you allowed to stay?" Seth looked up at me eagerly from the couch. I nodded and he jumped up and gave me a huge bear hug.
"Come on, let's go properly introduce you to everyone and start being friends," Seth pulled me out by my wrists; luckily I was wearing my jacket and a long sleeve today.
"Ari this is Sam, Paul, Quill, Embry, Jared and Jacob," Seth introduced me to everyone when we got to the garage. Jacob, god he was beautiful.
"Hey babe," Quill grinned and put an arm around me, "Are you allowed to stay?"
"Course I am, so what do people do for fun around here?"
"We can go to the movies?" Embry suggested. It went quiet while everyone thought about it.
"I have never seen a movie in the cinema before. I want to get settled in first so maybe tomorrow?" I smiled at the thought of going to a cinema. My phone buzzed in my bra. Most of the guys chuckled when I pulled it out. It is the only thing I do that is a 'typical' girl thing.
Gabe went around the country to find a good car for you and he found a 68 model Chevy impala. I got a 69 mustang. He got a Mercedes. Tele-pad set up in garage.
No way! That's so fucking awesome!
Come home and take a look.
You call it home too?
Yeah it just feels like home, it's so weird.
I reckon, oh and you got a 69 ;)
You bet babe ;)
You're an idiot Mace.
See you soon, bye xx

"I'm going to get going now, I will see you around later," I smiled briefly and pressed the home button twice, which took me back home. Mason was sitting on the couch watching the Casino Royal. Gabe was cooking something for dinner by the smell of the house.
"Can we watch Sponge Bob movie?" I laid on the couch on Masons lap. I know he can't say no to me when I do cute stuff like this.
"I hate it when you do shit like that," His brows furrowed together and got up to change DVD's.
"I'm making meatloaf. What do you guys want with it?" Gabe yelled from the kitchen.
"Roasted honey coated carrots!" Mace and I yelled back at the same time and fist bumped to it. Mace gave me this lop-sided grin that makes me melt on the inside. We had a special bond, Mace and I. I love him, he means the world to me, and sometimes I wish we could be more than friends, but what happened at the facility, stops me.

*Flash Back*

The guards opened my cell door and took me to the showers. "Strip, now." I refused so they did it for me, I put up a fight. Then some other guards brought in a boy, about the same age as me. I hadn't been forced to train with him yet. The guards turned the showers on, let him keep his close on and handed us both swords. This boy refused to take the sword so he got beaten to a pulp. "If one of you isn't dead by the time we come back, you will be sorry," One of the guards sneered sleazily at me. When they left, we both just stood there, I tried to cover as much of my body with my hands as I could. "I'm Mason, put my shirt on," The boy took off his shirt and passed it too me.
"Thank you. I'm Ari, did you just get here?"
"Yeah, they told me I was the last kid to be recruited before something called training begins," He whispered lowly. I nodded, trying to process what the next set of training would be for me. I shuddered in fear. Mason put his arm around me and sat us both down as I cried. I hadn't cried since they killed my parents and Ellie.
When the guards came back, I got in trouble for crying, so they whipped me. Mason tried to fight them, but they just whipped him to.

*End of Flash Back*

Gabe's POV

"Ari, you okay? Shit your nose and ears are bleeding again," I rushed over to where she was on the couch with a tissue. Mason was cradling her unconscious body.
"I think she was remembering something," I whispered into the air as I wiped the blood from her nose and ears. Ari was different. When the Triad decided to 'enhance' us, there were complications with Ari. She was their first guinea pig for the experiment. Sometimes, when she is remembering something that riggers her too much, emotionally, her whole system shuts down, except the vital organs. It's almost like a mini aneurysm triggered by the imbalance of chemicals when she feels extreme emotion. It happens occasionally to Mason and I, but not for the same reason.

*Flash Back*

It was the first training session. The hall I was brought to was huge, filled with different platforms, obstacles and weapons for training I assume. There was twelve boys and twelve girls, each lined up separately. I spotted my sister in the line of girls, bruised and fragile looking. Her lip was split and her cheek was swollen.
"Listen everyone, you each were paired up with someone last week for a test, so whoever was your partner for that test, will be your partners for this year's training," The captain barked orders. I was partnered with a girl with light blonde hair and green eyes and a small ballerina frame.
"You will be handed a sword and a dagger. If you do not follow further instructions, you will be punished," His voice was a harsh shout on the last word.
Day after day, we had to fight each other, almost to death, and if one of them did die, then it was okay to the captain, it meant they were 'weak.' I had accidently sliced a major artery in my partners' chest. My eyes were glassy as I looked over to my sister, where she was fighting two guys, she killed one of them.
A year had passed and now, I was killing, because I was told. I was a servant to the captain. So was Ari, but she was ruthless on her opponents. She had become a killer. I remember when I met her eyes just after she had completely decapitated some chick she was meant to fight. There was no look in her eyes. They were emotionless.

*End of Flash Back*

I shook the memories out of my head as best I could. Ari is still my sister. She isn't evil, she did it for you just remember that Gabe. Sometimes it's hard to look at her, with her adorable features and never ending purple eyes and wild black hair and not remember the times when she didn't kill people to survive. It's hard to looks past the scars on her back from being whipped and try to see the girl who once was your sister. The little girl, who played on the swing set with you, in reality, was dead. There is no emotion in her when she kills or fights. I feel so bad when she smiles, because it isn't a smile, it's a mask because she doesn't want me to think of her like a monster. She is though, and there is no denying it. I still feel the remorse of killing people, she doesn't. She is a monster that I can't help but love.

"You're a monster too," Ari muttered, shifting around, waking up.
"We have been over this Ari, no more blame games okay?"
"You only make me out to be the worst of us because you couldn't live with yourself if you came out of denial and realised your just as bad as me," Ari recovered quickly, spiting every word out of her mouth with as much malice and venom she possibly could.

*Flash Back*

"This is our first mission Ari, you are lucky they paired us together and that Mason kid. Don't mess this up, you will get us killed," I whispered spitefully. I don't know about the other kid, but I have too much conscience to get anyone killed.
"I know what to do," She was gearing up. The armour we wore was like a wet suit, but pitch black and had lots of special abilities built into it.
"We are going in to scope out the situation, why the hell are you taking weapons," I watched Ari and Mason load up on weapons. Ari took two katana blades, both sitting on her back in a cross shape, like ninjas in movies. She also had two M1911 colts, loaded with special bullets filled with a neurotoxin to paralyse victims. I refused to carry anything. We had snuck into a cave, which was the home to a coven of witches.
"Mason, you take that spot over by the rocks, Gabe, stay here and keep watch, I'm going to go down and squeeze into that little gap between the rocks to hear what they are saying. Active camouflage mode and be quiet," Ari's hands were shaking and her voice was a bare whisper. She was scared.
The witches arrived and started talking; they wanted to procreate with vampires to create a super powered creature. I panicked. I scuffed my feet along the ground as I tried to run for the exit of the cave but a witch had dug her talon like claws into my back, and de-activated my camouflage.
"You are going to taste cooked roasted," The witch sniffed me and smiled in delighted, her face froze in the expression as her head slowly fell from her body.
"Run Gabe!" Ari yelled at me and deactivated her suit.
I couldn't move I was too scared. Ari swung her swords around stabbing and slicing away. Mason dragged me out of the cave and tried to stich up my wounds. A witch came out of the cave after us, black eyes furious and enraged. Just as she went to swipe at me, a fist came crashing out of her chest. The beast dropped to the ground, lifeless, and standing behind her was Ari, holding a heart in her hand. She truly is a monster and it's my fault.

*End Of Flash Back*

My eyes started to waters, hot tears stinging my eyes. She was right, the guilt eats me alive, so I try to pin all the blame on her, but from that first mission, Ari did whatever she was told, killed whatever she was pointed at, she became Queen of the Hunters. It's my fault.
