Page 40 of Falling for A Lie
“We will get him, Queenie. He has to make a mistake soon.” He says reassuringly, pushing the sweaty hair from my eyes.
“I hope so. I'm tired of looking over my shoulder for a threat that I know is there.”I sigh softly, as I continue to watch him work. Nails scraping against concrete have me looking to the opened garage as Draco and Sirius come barreling through like pups on a mission with tails wagging and drool dripping from their mouths sprintingthey spot me near Finn.
“Oh, my big babies!” I say gleefully. Finn watches me as the boys lick my face and get drool all over me, my laughter echoing around us as the dogs achieve their mission of knocking me flat on my ass.
“ Sweet boys, who are the good boys?” I scratch behind their ears, petting their jet-black fur gently as I enjoy the onslaught of love from my fur babies. “ Mommy loves you boys.” I coo, softly at them.
“Runter mit Draco und Sirius” Finn commands, making them sit straight on their haunches, tongues still hanging loosely from their mouths as they wait for their next order. “Gute Jungs”
I lean down kissing their soft heads, sitting up straighter. I point to the house as the next command leaves my lips.
“Kopf hinein” With that they're off heading to the house, tails still swishing in the wind.
“Leave it to you to have trained killers turn into absolute teddy bears around you.”He chuckles as he watches the dogs trot away.
“Oh, they will rip your throat out, if given the command.” I smirk at his shocked expression, before I turn on my heels “ Now I need to go get ready for the race tonight, make sure to clean up before we have to leave. I don't want you stinking up the brand-new interior, Len will cut you. ” I retort smugly
“ Not my Lenny, she loves me.” He holds a hand to his heart and acts like he is wounded
My laughter follows me inside as I pad my way up to the second floor where my room is. The black and gold walls shimmer in the dwindling sunlight causing little flecks of light to dance on the ground.
As soon as I reach for my door handle a small feminine voice stops me in my tracks, my head snaps in the direction of my younger sister as she stomps her way towards me, anger covering her beautiful face has me meeting her halfway.
“What's the matter Car?”I ask as I try to move closer to her
“Stupid fucking, time-wasting, bullshit!”She growls out with a sense of irritation gracing her words
She stops her stomping as she reaches me, her chest rising and falling in rapid succession as she groans as the world itself has wronged her.
“It wasn't all a waste, you proved that the necessary matters will be taken care of on Saturday when I snap the traitor's neck. “I reply confidently, causing a smile to grace her lips
“ Yeah, yeah I know but still. I'm so tired of being an errand runner to pissy old men and bitchy old cunts. You wanna knowwhat that dumb bitch Josie had to say??”She continues her warpath into my room and throws herself on my bed in an exaggerated manner, making a small smile creep across my lips.
“Pray tell sister, what that dumb bitch said this time,” I ask, rolling my icy blue eyes in her direction.
“She said that if we would've gotten our job done quicker, then Ben would still be alive.”Her voice comes out broken like she is trying to fight back a sob.
Red filters through my vision for a split second, as I slowly stop my pursuit of my closet. “S..she said fucking what now?”
This bitch has a goddamn death wish. Carla's green eyes meet mine as she lifts on her elbows to get a better look at me as she nods solemnly at me. “She said we failed a lord by being negligent with our work, by not catching the Traitor. “ Guilt now stains that beautiful face that matches the other half of my heart.
I'm going to slit this bitches throat for causing this feeling in my baby sister after she lost her best friend as well. Someone who became close friends with Ben over the couple months of him being in The Lord's, who would talk with him about the newest anime or the newest song from their favorite band. She didn't cause this. Jace was the one to kill him. Josie's fucked up brother. Fuck her. Fuck him too. I'm going to kill them. I'mgoing to bathe in their fucking blood and eat their fucking hearts for dinner for all this fucking pain they've caused.
“Fuck her. Do not under any goddamn circumstances believe that vile fucking bitch. You didn't cause this, we didn't know that Jace would find him, we didn't know he would kill him so horribly and then send pieces to us like trophies to hang on our walls. Finding the leak wouldn't have changed his fate. Jace is relentless, he would've found him sooner or later. We both knew we weren't safe while he was still out there ..”I state calmly, even though my inner emotions are anything but calm.
Carla's tiny frame shakes with the sob that escapes her thin lips. “ It's not fair that we are still running from that demented fuck. We joined this stupid fucking order to keep us safe and even it cannot protect us against that sicko.” She curls into herself the tears staining the pillow below her head, her blonde hair sticking up all over the place from static.
I climb up beside her pulling her into my arms and rubbing her hair down as I cradle her against me soothing the ache plaguing her. “I know baby, I know but I promise you that I will kill anyone who comes near you or the others. I won't let anything happen to you, I swear it. “
“But how can you be sure, Sor? I don't wanna die.. ” she whimpers, burying her face into my chest, soaking through the thin fabric, and making a chill go down my spine.
“I don't want that either baby, I'll do anything to prevent that. I promise you.”
I wrap my pinky finger through hers, sealing the promise between us. A promise I hope to never break.
“I believe you sissy.”
The revving of engines surrounds us as we walk side by side to the man holding the bets so we can go ahead and get entered into tonight's races.
