I'm a wanted man

[you shouldn't trust my kind]

She woke up to find myself tied to my seat. Hades was driving, he's eyes didn't leave the road as he said, "you're awake."

"No shit Sherlock." She tried moving her legs but felt a sharp pain in her thigh.

"Don't move too much or else your wounds will reopen."

"What happened back there?"

"I shot your thigh and injected you at the same time."

"I thought I was dead." He held the steering wheel tightly. It was like he was trying not to comfort her.

"So do they."

"Why are you helping me?"

"I'm not, I'm just making my job easier." Oh

She had to admit she was disappointed. She focused on the road, they were in the middle of nowhere with only trees around. After what seemed like forever he finally parked the car.

"I'll carry you there." She didn't say anything as he carried her bridal style.

~~~~~~

They reached a small cottage that was already filled to the roof, someone probably used to live there. 

"Make yourself at home." He dropped her on the only couch in the room and went to the kitchen.

The betrayal rushed into her thoughts and she clenched my jaw. She was going to make them pay. Painfully.

"Eat something. We have a lot to discuss."

She didn't need to be told twice, the food wasn't delicious but it was still food so she ate.

She suddenly stopped eating when she realized that he was staring at her "Stop gawking."

"Sorry." He lowered his head and started eating. Once they were done he took the plates and upon coming back he took a seat next to her.

"It's story time. Don't interrupt." He said and she nodded.

"I'm the rightful heir to the Lunnie throne but Sunn has taken that from me, you see he's my fathers best man's son. I'm sure you know about the fall of the Lunnies, it was my father's best man who betrayed him. He took control but was killed during an attack many fled the city but some stayed behind now we are back and Sunn, being the only son alive, took the role as leader. I want you to help me take back what is mine."

"Like father like son," She put one leg on top of the other, "You're in luck because betrayal in my books is paid by death but that doesn't mean that I'll help you."

"You need to." He said

"You expect me to help you when you're looking forward to taking my place."

"It's either me or Sunn, he has control over all the gangs and no matter how mighty you think you are you don't stand a chance." He was right

"What do I gain from this?"

"You gain control over the gangs and once this is all over I will challenge you traditionally like every other gang." Fair enough

"How can I trust you will keep your word."

"You don't have to trust me, but if we are to win against Sunn, we will need each other."

"The only thing I need is Charlie." Her baby.

"That won't be a problem. I already have her with me." Shr snapped her head towards him and found him smiling at her. 

"Deal." She said immediately, if they were going to win this, they would need Charlie. 

"Good. Once your wound is fully healed we'll start training."

"If you betray me I'll come for you."

"I wouldn't mind that." He was serious. They stared at each other until she understood what he meant. 

The double meaning caused her to smirk and  break eye contact. She heard him leave and close the door behind him. 

She closed her eyes once more and dreamt of all the ways she'd make Sunn pay.
