Australia

Bella

"I knew it !" Melissa yells on the call catching my attention.

"What is it Mel ?" I ask from my position on the couch of the hotel room .

"It's Aurora " she tells me and I rush to her and ask her to put the phone on speaker .

"Hey , are you all okay !" I ask as we stand in the balcony .

"Ella is not . They caught us and kept us handcuffed to the chairs . While she was trying to get rid of the cuffs she bleed her wrists . I guess they are okay , now " she whispers , making me go blind with rage . That Aiden will pay with blood for what he did to my sister .

"Bella , did you hear " Melissa brings me out of my thoughts .

"Nope !"

"She asked did we meet Mythica , yet " I notice she is covering the speaker with her hand .

"I don't have her details . Ella has it " I rub my nose bridge .

"Fuck " Melissa whispers .

"Aurora , Ella had the details . You all need to fucking fly in " Mellissa says .

"We cannot the horsemen have us on radar " she says .

"Okay , I'll get it from Liam again " Bella finally says .

"I am going and be careful the two horsemen are coming for you all" Aurora cuts the call and both of us share a look . Melissa and I finally decide to go out . Sydney is still new to us . After freshening up we go outside and roam around the streets . The stores were filled with summer vibes . The beaches were filled with people , young boys and girls were surfing , couples were soaking in the sun . It feels good to be out . My summer organza dress is flowing with the warm wind . Melissa doesn't wait before walking straight into the waters of Bondi beach .

"It's been so long since I've felt this good " Mellissa says as she wads further into the water .

"I agree but I'm still thinking about Ella and Aurora " I too sit down at the beach and look at the waters .

"Can I ask you something " I ask after Mellissa sits down beside me on the sand . It's close to noon and I don't seem to remember we have spent more than five hours here .

"Sure " her hair is down , blowing in the wind .

"Umm , do you know all of them " I turn to her .

"Yep , I do . We were all in from same circles " Mel is still looking at the retreating sea .

"Can you tell me something about them "

"Aiden is the kind of guy no one messes up with , he plays with his mind and with the money and all . He is a psychopath at the best . Something happened back when we all were kids and I have no idea . Xander doesn't know what's a no , he never loses and has no emotions at the best for anyone except Aurora , but even she left after a fight with him . I don't know what actually happened. I don't know about Eli but I know he hides his monster under his cool facade . Mike . He is taming his bad side but that night .... He didn't "

"What do you mean ?"

"Mike ... um kinda has an obsession with me . Since I too left Mike followed me to New Hampshire and there he killed a man and that man ... " she stops and looks at the sea its almost close to evening now .

"He was ?" I ask curiously .

"My step brother " the second those words left her mouth I froze.

"Your .. step brother..." I cup my mouth .

"Yes , he was molesting me but I kept quite . That night I was out in the garden when Caden came out and started groping me . I tried to fight him but I couldn't.. and then suddenly he was not there and lying on the ground with a twisted neck . I froze and when I looked up into those fiery green eyes . I hated him and what he did to Caden he had my step brother's blood on his hand but I was relieved . I slapped him and punched him until he held my neck and his hold was tight enough to cut off my air flow . That was when I saw his monster . I still hate him "

Her voice held no emotions and it looked as if she is reliving that night .

"How old were you?" I asked .

"Sixteen " she whispers and wipes the tears that escaped her eyes .

"I think we should leave " we get up and start getting back to the hotel.

"Do you think we can order in something to eat . I heard of a nice cafe nearby "
