Battle of the Wilders

I'm scared as shit right now.

Who knew that I'd be in a literal life or death situation.

Who knew my best friend would turn out to be one of the most feared gang leaders in the world.

Who knew her parents would be the second most feared gang in the world.

Who knew we'd be at battle with my best friend's parents.

"Aspen stay near Thunder at all times" Carolina demands with a serious tone

I nod my head as I turn to face Charlotte. She hands me a handgun and a dagger.

"Use those wisely" She says

"Do you know how many people we're going to be fighting?" I ask with a worried tone

She turns and faces me when she hears my worried tone.

"A couple hundred" she says honestly

"Charlotte, I'm not ready" I say as I hold out the weapons for her to take

I don't think I'm ready for this.

What if we get caught and end up in jail?

What if I got killed?

What if Charlotte got killed?

God, I wouldn't be able to live with myself.

She means too much to me.

"What do you mean you're not ready?" She asks as she grabs the weapons from my hands and places them on the ground beside her

"I'm not ready for this lifestyle, there's too many dangers and risks" I say as she stares deeply into my eyes

"But isn't that the point of life, to take risks" She questions with a smile but I don't return it

"Yeah, but Charlotte, this is serious shit," I say as I point to the giant building

"If we make one wrong move we'll all be dead" I say which makes her press her lips together in thought

"You're right, but if you keep your guard up you'll be able to predict your targets next move" She says matter of factly

I look at her and sigh before grabbing her hands.

"I'm still terrified of what could happen us, what could happen to you" I say which makes her smile

"I'm going to be fine" she says reassuringly

"How do you know that?" I ask her seriously

It happened so quickly that I didn't react at first.

She quickly lets go of my hands and places her chilled ones on my cheeks before leaning in and placing a firm kiss on my lips.

Our lips slowly move in sync as we share a passionate kiss.

It made me feel warm and tingly.

Those are the best types of kisses.

We pull away from each other with labored breaths.

"I don't know, but I'm willing to take that risk as long as you're by my side" she whispers as our foreheads rest against each other

"I'll be here for you, forever and always" I whisper back with a smile which causes her to smile too

"Forever and always" she agrees

We pull away from each other and she hands me my weapons. I accept the and hide them in the holsters I was provided with.

"Lets go kill some bitches" Charlotte says with an evil smirk as she removes the safety from the gun.

-

"Oh my fucking god" I whisper as I watch the gang members battle it out between each other

There's bullets being shot every which way along with screams of agony.

Charlotte has kept me hid behind her the whole time as she skillfully shot multiple men in vital organs which causes them to fall down.

I look over and see a girl ducking behind a giant rock. It seems as if she's aiming for Charlotte.

Shit.

Charlotte is too busy shooting at the group of men to notice.

"Get down" I say to her as I push her down and aim for the girl

The bullet goes straight through the middle of her forehead which causes her to collapse to the ground.

Fuck, that's terrifying.

"Good shot" she says breathlessly since I practically tackled her out the way

"I said that I'd be here for you" I say with a smirk

"You truly are one of a kind" She says

"Guys, less compliments more killing" Carolina says with an annoyed tone

"Whatever" Charlotte responds as she continues to shoot at various men.

-

When Charlotte and I got through most of their defense line she lead me through another secret passage way.

"How the hell can a seventeen year old girl go through most of our defense line without any hits" I hear someone exclaim as Charlotte and I stop near a vent opening

"She's number one for a reason, plus I think that Avery girl helped her" I hear a deeper voice say

I think it's Nina and Bruce.

"Her name is Aspen" I hear a new voice say which makes my body freeze

That voice sounds just like Maddie.

"Who cares, we need to distract them, I've waited way too long for this" I hear another familiar voice say

"Is that who I think it is?" Charlotte whispers in shock

"Yep, that was Hayden" I confirm her suspicions

"Can I distract Aspen" Maddie says with a suggestive voice

"You only want to do that because you like her" Hayden says in an annoyed tone

"Like and Love are two different things, idiot" Maddie responds

"Why do you even like that bitch?" Hayden questions with an annoyed tone

"She's pretty, She smells nice, and she actually has a brain unlike you" Maddie replies effortlessly

"I swear to god, I'm going to kill her" I hear Charlotte whisper with a murderous tone

I place my hand on her shoulder to stop her from blowing out cover.

"Stop, wait a couple more minutes. They might say something that we can use against them" I suggest

"Fine" she says reluctantly

I smile and kiss her cheek so that she'll be less grumpy. When I pull away she wraps her arms around my waist and pulls me into her side possessively.

"She's stupider than you" Hayden says

"No, she's not!" Maddie whines loudly

"Shut up, both of you" Nina yells

"Here's the plan" she says

"We're going to sneak around the back of the building and sneak up on them. When we spot them attack them immediately" Bruce says authoritatively

"I'll attack Aspen" Hayden says before I hear footsteps fading away

"I'll attack Kayden" Maddie says before following after Kayden

"I'll take Charlotte, you'll take Carolina" Bruce says

"You know, this sucks" Nina suddenly says with a sad tone

"Why, sweetheart?" He questions with an equally as sad tone

"We didn't even get to tell them that they're related" she says

Wait what?!

"It's okay, they probably already figured it out" he tries to persuade her

"You're probably right" he says before I hear their footsteps fade away

I turn to look up at Charlotte and notice that she has a confused facial expression.

At least I'm not the only one.

"Related?!" She says

"Relax, they're probably talking about Carolina and you" I say

"But what if they're not not?" She questions as she looks down at me

"You don't seriously think they meant you and I" I say with a tone of disbelief

"You've met my parents" I say

"Your dad doesn't seem like the loyal type" she says seriously

"So, What are you suggesting?" I question

"What if your dad had sexual relations with my mom" She questions which causes me to step away from her

No.

No, there's no way.

This has to be a joke.

"We're not related" I say seriously

"There's no way" I finish

"You and my mother have similar eyes," she says

"You and I have the same nose" she continues

"It's just a coincidence" I say

"We're not related what so ever" I say

"But what if there's a small chance that we are?" She says as she gently grabs my hand

"Aspen, I can't just pretend like I'm not in love with you" she says seriously as a few tears fall from her eyes

"Hey, Hey, Hey" I say as I let go of her hand and place mine on her cheeks. I use my thumbs to gently wipe her tears away.

"We'll cross that bridge when we get there, until then lets go out there and show them that they messed with the wrong gang" I say which makes her smile

I see the slight dent of her dimples peek through her skin which makes me smile too.

"Okay" she says before she places a kiss on my lips.

God, I hope we aren't related.

That would be so wrong.

Plus it would ruin everything.
