Ethan's POV
"Andrea we need to talk" I say to her with a serious look on my face
I should have expected what she did next, scratch that, I should have handcuffed her and wrapped her in chains like a fucking mummy or something.
i grab the chair she threw at my face out of mid-air before it can make contact and turn towards her only to feel her knee being driven into my jaw and making me bite down on my tongue. as she drops down she shoots her leg out and trips me effectively putting me on the floor and then holding a sharpened chair leg to my face
"you've got some fucking nerve pretty boy, I'll give you that. but you're getting me out of here or im cutting your jugular and throwing your body into the fucking electrified lake you have surrounding this facility" she grits out
" first, ouch that hurt like a motherfucker andrea, what the hell" i say while gripping my bloody jaw "and second..." i say as i teleport away from under hair and onto the other chair which she had not yet destroyed in the corner of the room.
"why the fuck are you mad at me andrea? I should be the one throwing chairs at you. you left me in that room all alone without a clue as to how to find you" i say to her
"I thought it added to the mystery or something. Don't guys normally like it when girls play hard to get?" she screams at me as she once again tries to attack me but i materialise out of the way before she can complete her mission to kill me.
"if you'd be so kind to stop trying to kill me we can have a very civil conversation about this" I say as she continues to swing frantically
" What's... There... To talk about... You didn't try to find me..... End of Story" she says in between swings as the last one ends up with the metal shattering against my chest as my eyes turn grey.
I grab Andrea and put her in a sleeper hold until she eventually passes out. and this time i restrain her very carefully. she wakes up 30 minutes later and tries to attack me again but due to the chains currently wrapped around her entire body she crashes horribly onto the foam beds I placed around her bed while she slept.
what? I'm not entirely a monster
I look at her as her face is pressed into the foam with her ass still sticking out from her crash onto the foam so i help her sit upright and offer her a glass of water which she surprisingly takes before spitting it right at my face.
i grab a towel and wipe off my face and shirt as she continues struggling against her restraints.
"let me go you fucking creep" she screams at me as she continues her futile struggle against her restraints.
I wipe my face thoroughly before replying in a calm voice "as soon as you answer my questions you're free to go" which causes her to look at me suspiciously.
"why would i do that?" she asks skeptically
"because when i let you go depends on your cooperation, and i think we'd both prefer it if you could answer my questions without being wrapped up in chains" I reply
"really? and whose fault would that be?" she answers sarcastically
"look, do you want me to remove the chains or not" I ask exasperated with her mistrust of me.
"fuck yeah I do" she replies angry that were still on this line of questioning and i can't really blame her because no one likes being in chains or oppressed,or being in an unfair fight where the enemy has all the power and you're rendered completely vulnerable, a fight where if you attack you get hurt and if you dont you still get hurt and your opponent gets away scot free.
i grab her chains as my eyes turn grey and i snap the padlock off causing the chains to fall off her body immediately.
"ask your questions asshole" she says through gritted teeth as she tries to relieve the soreness in her muscles by stretching.
"1. what the fuck is this?" I ask as I roll up the sleeves of my t-shirt to show her the new atrocity on my arm
she looks at it and bursts into laughter "you seriously don't know what that is?" she asks as she tries to catch her breath
"if i knew i wouldn't be here asking you, now would i? " i reply through gritted teeth
"ares and Aphrodite always give their blessings together that's why Hephaestus is so jealous. it's some sort of love and war shit the have going on. just like apollo and artemis have that sun and moon shit going on for them" she says before embarking on another laughing fit.
"whats so funny?" i ask as i begin to get more amused with her behavior
"ares always said i was his favorite but seeing how quickly he marked you after you beat me, i'm guessing my old job is taken then" she says with a smirk
"anyway, 2nd question, why did you try to kill my sister with a wolfsbane bomb" i ask as i try to bring the topic of conversation back to the issues on hand.
"look here pretty boy I don't kill girls so this accusation of yours better stop, and second i would never use something like a bomb. I like to get close and personal with my targets" she says clearly angered at me for making such an insinuation.
I analyze her for a minute before saying "I believe you. But then why try and kill me and my dad" I ask her as I try to get to the bottom of this situation.
"look the orders came from on high. we were told that the alpha of a particularly dangerous rogue pack had taken over your mind with some sort of hecate voodoo and that we were to kill the old man and restrain you. I was even assigned some werewolves from the pack in forestville so you can be sure that it was legit. But it did seem kind of funny to me though. when we met the power of compulsion i get from Aphrodite didn't work on you so why would some witches spell be the one to finally do you in?" she says as she leans in closer as if were talking about an extremely sensitive but illegal thing.
"just as I feared. You were also played like I was" i reply
"played. what do you mean played" she asks curiously
"that order was bogus and you're reinforcements were rogue werewolves which means that soon enough there'll be a cover up to silence everyone who knew about this. Andrea you need to tell me who gave you the order so I can find and protect them or at least warn them. Also you're going to have to disappear so you don't get wrapped up in this too. this is my mess and ill deal with it my way" I say to her as I formulate the plan off the top of my head
"that sounds extremely plausible" she says as she tucks her hair behind her ear with a thoughtful look on her face.
"ok here's how this is going to go down"she begins as she enters commando mode "just to make sure that you keep your promise we're going to pick someone up and after me and said person are safe I'll give you the info you need" she says as she tries to strike a deal.
"deal" I say while trying not to betray how desperate I am to find the asshole who tried to kill members of my family.
"so where are we going" i ask as she puts on her jacket and ties her hair up in a bun
"Los Angeles" she replies as she tries to walk out the front door
"we're not going that way" I say to her as she stops in her tracks and turns around
"so how the fuck are we getting out of here cause every minute I spend in this fucking place is another minute Allison is in danger" she screams at me
"If you would shut up and give me an accurate address I can get you there in under a second" I say to her
"and how are you going to pull that off?" she asks skeptically
"just give me the fucking address Andrea " i tell her. She looks at me suspiciously before finally telling me the address. I open up a portal and look at her
"do you trust me?" I ask her
"I don't have a choice now do I?" she retorts sarcastically
"nope" i say with a smile while popping the 'p'. I grab her hand and we walk through the portal into the center of a living room with toys all around and photos of Andrea with a little girl. as she walks into a room and turns on the lights to start packing her clothes i look around the living room and at all the picture of the smiling little girl with an even happier Andrea by her side.
my inspection is halted short by a little voice saying "who are you?". I turn on my heel to find the little girl from the photos standing by the door with a teddy in her left hand as her right hand rubs her sleepy eyes
"Hi, I'm Ethan your mom's old friend" I say in an equally small voice "and you must be Allison right?" I say with a soft smile
"how did you know" she asks as she tries to hide behind the door frame
"because I'm a magician" I say as I pull a sunflower out of thin air.
"woah" she says as her eyes widen in amazement "do another trick please?" she says with a smile. I smile back and am about to pull a bouquet out when her mom walks in with her bags and a change of clothes. she swiftly changes the little girl who keeps glancing at me and giggling as I smile back at her.
"lets go Allison" she says to the little girl before turning to me "I cant thank you enough for this Ethan. We'll be on our way then, but I'll be back for a rematch and you can count on that. Also the person you're looking for is agent Chris Donovan" she says with a smile before unlocking the front door. Allison walks out after waving me goodbye and then Nicole turns to me and says "oh I almost forgot" and then she punches me in the face "that's for the chains. Goodbye Ethan" she says as she walks away.
as I lie on the floor with a broken jaw that is currently being mended by my super healing all I can think about is the 2 year old girl with her fiery red hair in pigtails and her big forest green eyes.
"Goodbye Allison, I hope I get to see you again" I mutter to myself before getting up and covering their tracks so that no-one would ever be able to find and hurt Andrea or Allison. As I set the house on fire with traces of DNA in it so that it will be believed that they died in the fire I am suddenly hit with a migraine and I manage to teleport back home before collapsing to the floor in the foyer as the sun rises.
