ROSES POV
A shadow falls over the table as i sit in the dining hall with Snow, the widening of her eyes when she glances up tells me all I need to know. I ignore whichever brother is behind me and continue with my dinner. The fork is halfway to my mouth when a tough hand grabs my arm and roughly yanks be to my feet, the chair toppling over with a clutter. I meet the lavender eyes of Shadow, his lips pulled back in a snarl as he takes me in, his eyes glazed with fury.
"When I tell you to do something you do it. My brothers and I run this school, you either fall in line or you will be dealt with accordingly. I do not give a shit what my brothers think, you are a dead bitch walking," He shakes my arm trying to prove his point. I can't help the snort that escapes my lips. His grip on my arm tightens painfully, he probably expects me to wince or cower away from him, so i do the only thing i know how to, i pull out of his grip and in one swift movement shove at his chest while swinging my foot out catching his ankles and sending him crashing to the floor. The once quiet dining hall erupts into hushed whispers and the air in the room crackled with energy. "Lets get out of here." Snow says coming to my side and tugging me out of the dining hall, but not before I catch the looks of shock and anger on Arrow, Chaos, and River the three other snakes and apparently now my enemies.
"Girl I can't believe you did that! Your life will be hell now but damn that was hot!" Snow exclaims as we race back to our room. "I mean i don't swing that way but id i did i would totally be turned on by you right now." She continues laughing as i stare at her she shrugs her shoulders at me, the laughter dying from her face as we round the corner and find Arrow standing, back against our door with his arms crossed over his chest, his green hair hanging in his face as he studies the ground in front of him, a frown marring his beautiful face. He looks up as we approach. A smirk replacing the frown.
"I'll take her from here." He tells Snow stepping away from the door to let her in. She sends me an apologetic look as she scurries into the room, the door closing so softly behind her, im not even sure she fully shut it.
"That little stunt you pulled in the dining hall will not happen again, not unless you want your life here to be miserable, and despite what my brother told you, we really don't want to make your life hell, everyone else yes, you no." He shrugs as if its no big deal. I laugh. If he only knew the true horrors i lived everyday, there was nothing he could do to me that was worse than anything my father had done to me."Scarlett please." He whispers. I stiffen here we go again with that stupid name. Anger boils in my blood, as i glare at him.
"Look i don't know who the fuck this Scarlett person is but as i have told you and your brothers before i am not her! If you wanna make my life hell because i look like some ex fuck toy of yours or whatever then do your worst, but let me make one thing very clear Arrow." I sneer his name "There is absolutely nothing you can do to break me, in fact i doubt you are creative enough." He snorts at me, his eyes giving nothing away, my heart races faster in my chest. Why was it always the hot ones that were so infuriating. He nods once before clearing his throat. "You just signed your death warrant Rose." He sneers my name back at me and I can't help but laugh. "Make sure you make it painful." I tell him, winking before walking away. I don't care if he has anything else to say I'm not sticking around to hear it. I have other more important things to worry about, i needed to uncover my powers, find my real parents, prove I wasn't some bitch named Scarlett, and kill the Snakes before they killed me. Easy peasy right?
