been a long time since I had seen him that way.
Electricity was filling the air. There were way too many monsters in the room. Seating this many raged filled creatures in such a small space had been a mistake. I looked from Jaden to Darien hoping that one of them would have a plan or at least make eye contact so I would know that things were OK. Instead, I realized that everyone was in survival mode; no one would take their eyes off whomever it was they perceived as the biggest threat in the room. Damn this was bad.
“Putting my nose where it doesn't belong? Are you kidding me? I agreed to come here to help her, not anyone else. I owe you nothing Walker, and I surely am not going to sit here and let you degrade me in front of everyone.” Girl had nerve; I guess I had to give her credit for that at least.
What was happening that I needed my own Dominus protection brigade though? I should have been worried, but I was too angry to worry. Anger always wins. It is the strongest emotion a person can feel.
“The doctor here was trying to reach out and find me using your anger that night.” Kira didn't give him time to interrupt her. “He was using the signals and pheromones that you, being upset, were throwing around. He was trying to check in to see how I was reacting to them. But the Dominus smelled your emotions in the air. They would have never smelled your anger, but since he was playing with the charge s you were giving off, your pheromones were greatly enhanced and they could smell them.” She was so upset that she was shaking.
My mouth hit the floor. Darien was as white and shocked as I was, so was Jaden. I knew that they had nothing to do with that night. Walker had acted alone; it was his decision s and his actions, only his, that had taken our family from us.
“Is what this Freak is saying true?” Darien's voice was cold. There was only one emotion in it and that was hate. He had decided that Kira was the enemy and he hated her, and there was nothing she could do at this point to change his view, though whether or not she cared, I wasn’t sure.
“Yes it is true,” said Walker. Scientific and plain as always, meaning that he didn't think that we were worth more of an explanation than he had already offered.
“What is wrong with you? I lost my twin because of you and this entire time you let Cat live with the weight of all of their deaths on her shoulders? You can't play with people like that Walker, we are not lab rats. We might just be rodents to you, but we are not yours to play with.” Jaden sounded more hurt than angry.
I however, was having the exact opposite reaction to the man that had screwed me over more than anyone else ever had. I don't think I ever felt like an orphan before that moment, but now I knew my father was officially dead. If I ever trusted Walker as a teammate again we would see, but it wasn't looking at all promising.
“I can't deal with this right now. It would be best if you don't follow me Walker. I know that I can't kill you but I can make the rest of your eternity a living hell.”
Chapter Eight
“Why do we keep letting him do this to us? We don't need him Darien. Me, you, Jaden, we could set out on our own and make a life somewhere. We don't need Walker treating us like we are something less than he is.”
I was so mad that I was pacing back and forth in my underground bedroom. Darien was trying to pace with me but the room was too small and we kept bumping into each other, so he settled for sitting on the bed, watching me move around the room as if I was getting somewhere.
“The sad truth, Cat, is that we do need him. Believe me, if I thought the three of us could make it on our own, then we would do just that, but then our life would be spent underground, and you never wanted that life, remember?” I hated when he was rational, I hated it even more when he was right.
“Well, then what are we supposed to do Darien? He is going to keep
