Chapter 103 You'll Die

Venice Claire's POV

"Fuck." He murmured looking at me.

"Turn your back or I'll pull your eyes off." I threatened and he immediately obeyed.

I'm covered with nothing but a towel, luckily I was back facing him the moment he opened the door that's why my tattoo stays hidden.

I quickly grabbed my shirt and pajamas, putting them on.

"Ohh, war freak... I like that." I sensed him smirking.

"I'll let it slide today, but not next time," I said passing him and sit on the edge of the bed.

"Done already?" He asked partly surprised.

"I wouldn't be sitting here if I'm not," I stated plainly.

His thick eyelashes batted at once "That fast?" He asked walking towards me.

"Not really. So how was it with the Blue Fire Gang?" I asked the moment he sits beside me.

"They aren't suspicious and they seem fine to me. But..." He stopped and hold my hand.

"But?" I asked wanting him to continue.

"I hate them touching what's mine." I saw the oceanic blue eyes staring deeply at my brown hazelnut eyes.

"I'm not yours." I suddenly stated out of the blue.

I was given freedom for Five years and not to be someone's possession. I saw his eyes suddenly turned dark from my words but they turned soft after some time.

He smiled "Not yet... but you'll be mine..." his eyes never leave mine. "Only mine Claire." His voice... it turned possessive.

I should be mad... furious, but I don't know why... I felt the otherwise.

I can feel butterflies filled my stomach as if...

It couldn't be... my heart is dominating my mind.

Our attention was turned to the door when we heard someone knocking "Claire! Xen! Dinner is ready!" Cassy yelled.

"Thanks. Just for a sec." Xenon replies as he stand-up. "Remember it, Claire. I'll fight for you." He stated and opened the door.

I was left speechless until his silhouette disappeared from my sight.

I hate it... because...

I am not worth fighting for.

"I'm glad to know that one of the strongest gang takes sides with you," Drena stated while taking a sip of her juice.

"So, when are you planning to attack?" Stella softly asked Lucas.

"As for now, we are still looking for the right time," Lucas answered and Stella nodded in understanding with a spoon in her mouth.

"I heard you going to a bar on Sunday. Can I come?" Jenna asked smiling sweetly while wearing her puppy eyes.

"Shit." Coby cursed lowly.

Bar?

"Bar? You never mentioned anything about it." Drena faced Adrian raising her eyebrow.

"Ahm... it is for a mission not for fun." Adrian defended and I just continue eating while listening to their conversation.

"Still... it's a bar, Adrian." Drena insisted on testing him.

"Let us come," Cassy demanded while smiling.

"No." All the boys said in chorus.

"Yes," Stella demanded and her voice was dull. Lucas suddenly stiffened from his seat.

I smirked. I know he can't resist Stella when it comes to Uno.

"Claire, you also wanna come?" Drena asked and all the girls faced me waiting for my answer.

"Yes." I simply answered.

"Shit." I heard Xenon murmured and the rest of the boys sighed in defeat while the girls including Martin grinned widely.

"OMG! I'm so excited!" Cassy yelled excitedly.

Jenna's eyes sparkled in excitement including Stella.

"Time for enjoyment!" Drena yelled clapping her hands.

"I want to remind you. We'll go there for a mission and not for fun." Xenon hardly stated.

"Ohh Xenon, just take a break!" Drena said.

He takes a deep breath and sighed. "Fine."

And the girls including Martin cheered out of happiness but I can feel the tension from the boys... they were scared. I don't know why, but I think... this will challenge me. I smirked.

Bar... a place I've never been but I'm not stupid not to know what a bar is. I can see the outside every time I went passing it but not the inside.

Hope a challenge awaits me. I'm tired of waiting... I need to warm up.

"Claire! Choose what you like. This," Cassy showed me a blue cardigan dress that reached mid-thigh "or this!" And a floral dress that reached knee level.

But Drena slapped the back of her head "Ouch!" She glared at Drena.

"We are going to a bar Cassy, not an occasion." She stated and looked at me "I, have you... this!" She showed me a sleeveless fitted blue skirt dress that reached mid-thigh.

"That's too revealing Drena! She can't wear that, it might reveals-" Drena quickly put her hand on Cassy's mouth, shutting her from talking more.

"I know Cassy, I know!" She took her hand and walked towards her closet. Yup, all the girls were gathered in their room. They made us gathered here, saying girls party but it turns out... dressing chu-chu. Tch. Do I need this?

"Where did you get all of these dresses?" Stella asked confused.

"Ow, about that... the boys won't let us out so... we ordered online!" Cassy explained happily with her arms opened widely while looking at the beautiful dresses displayed on the bed.

"Oh, I see." Stella nodded in understanding.

"They ordered too many. I didn't know that they were this shopaholic." Jenna whispered to us.

"I heard that!" Drena yelled. "Here! Add this to your dress, Claire. It will look great!" She waved the black leather jacket and black heeled boots.

"OMG! That is a perfect fit! You will definitely look cool with that!" Cassy giggled excitedly.

"Tch. I don't wear dresses." I said and turned my back ready to go out.

"Oops! Where are you going?" Drena quickly blocked my path, grinning.

"You have no choice but to wear this or else..." Cassy smirked challenging me.

Is she really challenging... me? Nothing can scare me.

"Or else what?" I challenged back.

"Or else... Xenon will find a prettier girl with sexy body... revealing legs... nice-" I cut her off.

"I'll take that." I took the outfits from Drena's hands and put them on the side "These are mine, touch these and you'll die."
