Like a Memory

The representatives left early but I laid awake thinking about what Ayden said to me long into the quiet night. I didn’t sleep for more than an hour. After the shock wore off my tired eyes finally drifted to sleep. I awoke soon after with the voices circling my mind again, gnawing at my consciousness until my eyes flew open.

Leaving me to dwell on my life.

Ayden wouldn’t lie to me. I don’t think he’ll ever be dishonest with me no matter how much he may hate me now. It makes sense that Michael would be my father really. He’s been a part of my life since I can remember. Visiting me twice a year during school to make sure I focused on all the right subjects, he helped me find my talents, he arranged my union… I guess in a strange way he’s the reason I am where I am in life.

A yawn pulls at my tired body as I blink hard and try to find the positivity that this day holds.

Hours later I lead Gabriel into the empty clinic, Asher and Luca follow close behind. Gabriel’s eyes shift around, his head tilting, listening for any kind of insight his other senses might offer him. Suddenly, I’m aware of what he might sense; the way the sun filters off into the humid room, the way my boots softly thud against the tile, the way we’re all holding our breath as we watch the blind hybrid stare aimlessly around the clinic.

“We’re inside?” He pauses just within the doorway, his lean frame blocking out the bright rays of sunlight.

Asher and Luca trail in after Gabriel taking up the majority of the space within the small white room. I walk to the back where the package was left for me, excitement simmers in my chest and soaks through my limbs at the idea of what I’m about to do.

“You know if you have some kind of attack planned, you can’t really do any more damage than there already is,” Gabriel says, his voice echoing through the empty room.

I smirk at his words. He stands leaning against the wall, almost hesitant to proceed any farther into the room. His fiery red hair has been trimmed and shaven close at the sides, a much cleaner look than when he first arrived, he looks a little less broken, too.

“Listen, it’s not every day a girl approaches you with a surprise. Maybe you should hear her out first,” Asher says to him, smirking at me out of the corner of his eye.

My face warms at his words and I can’t help but smile. Luca assesses Gabriel discreetly. Something she does to everyone, I’ve noticed. This time it’s different. Her eyes travel over the hybrid, looking not at his stature or motives but really at him. At his body, at his wide shoulders and slim waist and everywhere in between.

I arch an accusing eyebrow at her and she shrugs, her shoulders rising minimally when she realizes she’s been caught.
