I don't seem to be thinking straight these days, tho that is a running theme at this point. Gwen used to joke that it was because of Nyx and Zac would pipe in saying that I was like this before her.
While my plans tend to go wrong even this is a bit much. My love clearly finds this funny as she laughs with her head thrown back.
Arthur, Merlin, and I are stuck in this tiny cleaning closet, a closet so tiny not even one should fit yet here we are, three grown adults and a hallucination. Arthur says something annoying I suspect because the next thing I notice is Merlin pushing his head to the wall, and Arthur mumbling something.
I lean my head on the door in front of me while I wonder how it all ended up like this. It was going so well in the beginning too.
We had shown up at night, at the perfect hour to break in.
With the blueprint of Monroe law firm. For a moment I look at it, realising I was about to do something very illegal, something if found could completely destroy my future. Then I look at my love whose face is a clean slate, not a single expression. It's times like this when I want to reach out and touch her, hoping she disappears, because my love would never look at me like that.
A voice sneers at me "but wouldn't she?"
"Isn't that how I looked at you towards the end?" My love's mouth was moving
"How many signs did you miss again?"
I crunch my eyes close. I breathe, for how long I am not sure.
But when I open them, I am sure. I am about to do this, and i will not regret it, even if the truth hurts me. The truth that I already know.
We sneak into the building hidden from all the cameras courtesy of Merlin. We check the logs and the cameras in the security room and once we are a hundred percent sure there's is no one, we are off.
Merlin loops the security feed to look like there is no one here while Arthur hacks into their computer for their files and I try to find any physical evidence they could have found.
There isn't much evidence which isn't surprising, the place was just rubble and ash, just as I was about to leave and check a different desk, I saw something gleam in the darkness, curiosity piqued, I picked it out.
It's almost a semicircle, chipped, very clear it was once a circle, it's gold, nothing too impressive.
I turned it around and suddenly, I couldn't breathe. A partial of "My Sweetheart" was engraved on its back, and I knew what it was. It was part of the necklace my mother had given me, the only thing I had of her before she abandoned me.
The same necklace I had given my love.
I didn't have a lot of time to think before Arthur was running towards me and dragged me away, Merlin right behind us
"Someone is here" Arthur whisper-yells
I focus and I can indeed hear footsteps that don't belong to us.
We hid behind some tables, carefully moving while being hidden by furniture.
The unknown person must have noticed something because the footsteps get louder, and then the next thing I know, Arthur and I are pulled into the closet by Merlin.
If it was any other movement I would have joked how I had already come out of one and would prefer not to be stuck in one again.
They might have even laughed or looked at me with disgust. And that's when I realise once again how I have made a pact with two men I don't even know.
The footsteps continue, then stop.
There was silence, I could hear all three of our hearts beating with how loud it was.
There is a click, then the door opens.
The first thing I see is red hair.
"Ain't this a lovely night", she says
Red burgundy hair that goes past her shoulders, frickles all over her face and body like an explosion, sharp eyes with pupils a deep brown that almost shimmers red in the right lighting.
"Right Mac?", Gwen says and I can think of just one thing
"I am going to kill zac"
