“NO!I won’t go.” Ricky crossed his arms stubbornly.
“You’re going and that’s final.” Drake stated, giving his brother a pointed look.
“For God’s sake Ricky, can’t you see what’s going on around us? God knows how much Cole ratted us out to them. They took Leo from under our noses. We can’t risk your life anymore.” said Hunter, pacing behind his chair.
“And what gives you the idea that I’m safe when I leave?!” Ricky wailed, “You all taught me to fight! I can fight beside you. I don’t want to be safe when you all–”
“What we taught you is self defense, Ricky. Not fighting!” Drake yelled at his brother, “You may have fought the Shadows but you never faced a real battle. Do you have any idea how we felt when we saw you? You were shaking..covered in blood. Fuck! I still can’t get that image out of my mind!” Drake cursed and turned around when he felt a heat in his eyes.
