Clan Fighters - Kaitlyn Garlets (intellectual books to read .txt) 📗

There never was a prophecy and never will be. We were duped. Deceived. And any other word that you can think of that basically says we were lied to," Reece says standing up. She knew that Creon would not hurt her.
She stepped over him and untied him.
"What are you doing?" Creon asked, standing up.
"Letting you go. You do not deserve this. None of us do. We have been living a lie that started a feud between all the clans. I don't know what else to say to you other than that," Reece said, tossing the rope on the floor.
Suddenly, William burst out of the office and jumped on Creon.
"What are you doing, William?!" Reece yelled, grabbing him, trying to get him off Creon.
"You let him go! Why would you do that?" William asked, holding Creon's arms behind his back.
"He doesn't want to hurt any of us! He just wants a normal life like we do! Now let him go!" Reece said, tensing, hoping William wouldn't do anything stupid.
Evernime raced into the room, stopping when she saw William and Reece standing face to face.
"No! I will not! I need something to tie him back up with!" William said, ignoring Reece.
"If Reece said to let him go, William, you let go," Evernime said.
Creon didn't even try to struggle in William's arms.
"LET HIM GO. NOW," Reece said, lifting both Creon and William into the air using her telekinesis.
William's eyes went wide and let go of Creon. "Why are you doing this?" he asked.
"He doesn't want any of this, William, and your just making it worse for all of us. He is not the enemy here!" Reece said, bringing both of them back to the solid tiled floor.
Creon gasped for air. He had been holding his breath the whole time.
"He could have killed you, Reece! Don't you see? He was going to kill you!" William said, trying to get Reece to see what he was talking about.
Reece shook her head. "No, William. YOU don't understand. He is not here to fight or hurt or kill any of us!"
Evernime looked back and forth between the three of them without saying anything. This was not her fight. It was theirs.
"It is true. I do not wish to hurt any of you," Creon said.
"Evernime!" William said, grabbing Evernime's wrist and pulled her to Creon. "Tell me that he is lying."
Evernime touched Creon on the hand and shook her head. "Reece is right. He does not wish to hurt us in any way. He just wants a normal life like we do. Now calm down and let it set in. Because if you touch this man again, I will hurt you instead of Reece. And I don't think that you would want Reece to hurt you, do you? Because I know how you feel about her. She feels the same way, and I don't think she wants to hurt you at all."
Reece blushed and looked down.
William looked at Reece. "Is that true?" he asked.
Reece looked up at him. "Yes, its true."
William sighed with relief. He slowly walked over to Reece and grabbed her face in his hands.
Reece looked deep into his eyes. Everyone around them disappeared and all she saw was him.
He kissed her lightly on the lips, slowly at first, but faster and firmer. His lips were so warm on hers and she didn't even care if Creon or Evernime was watching.
This kiss wasn't like the one she had with Griffen. The one with Griffen was cold and hard and desperate. This one was soft and warm and it felt like the most natural thing in the world.
"Uh, guys?" Evernime said, but they ignored them and kept kissing, Reece's hands in his soft black hair and his hands on her hips, pulling her closer to him as they kissed.
To Reece, William lips tasted like oranges. He must have been eating one.
"Guys?" Evernime asked again.
They finally pulled apart from each other, both of their hearts beating fast and their faces red beet.
"Yes, Evernime?" William asked.
"I thought you were going to suck at each other's faces all night. We were in the middle of a conversation here," Evernime said, making Creon chuckle with laughter.
"Jealous much?" William asked with a smile.
"Not really. I've had enough of you for a long time. No offense, William," Evernime said, turning away from them as they all laughed at what she said.
"None taken," William said, kissing Reece on the hand as he looked up at her in the eyes.
Reece blushed and looked down.
"That is exactly what I have, Reece, William," Creon said.
They all looked at Creon and Reece smiled. She knew how he felt. He was in love, just as she was with William the moment she met him.
"Okay, Romeo and Juliet, lets hope you don't kill yourself if one of you dies tragically," Evernime said smirking.
"You have a problem, Evernime?" Reece asked, turning to face her.
"Not really. I just don't think that it is very lady like to kiss someone that they were once married to in front of the ex-wife," Evernime said, turning to look at Reece.
"Sounds like your jealous, Evernime. We never were married, remember?" William said, putting his hand around Reece's waist.
Reece leaned in closer to him. He smelled of fresh apples. He smiled down at her.
This is not a good idea, Reece. You shouldn't let a relationship get in the way of what we really need to be doing! Evernime said to Reece through a telepathic message.
Reece didn't even care if Creon or William heard her. "I don't care if this is not a good idea, Evernime. I love William from the moment that I met him and he does too. You cannot stop something that you knew would eventually happen. And this relationship is not getting in the way of anything from what I can see!"
William looked at her, confused, then thought Evernime must have sent her a message in her head.
"I am sorry to stop your conversation, Reece, but I think she might be right about one thing. It might get in the way," Creon said, nodding towards Evernime.
Reece and William turned to look at Creon, standing behind them.
"What are you talking about?" Reece asked. "Aren't you the one that was asking for my help to straighten this all out so that you could be with your love of your life? Surely you would know how we feel."
Creon sighed and looked at his feet. "I do know how you feel. I do feel the same about Monika, but I think that we should put all that behind until we can straighten everything out, then once we do that, we can kiss our partners all we want to."
Reece considered what he was saying. He didn't want to tear them apart, he just wanted to have a normal life with his love like she now did with William.
"I think he might be right, William. We should put this behind us right now, but once we do get everything settled, we can live normally I think he is trying to say, right Creon?" Reece asked, looking at Evernime, who nodded in agreement.
William groaned, knowing that they were right. "Alright. What are we going to do about the other Skincrawlers?"
"I think I might know," Creon said, raising his hand to get everyone's attention.


Monika sat on her couch, rubbing stretch mark cream on her belly so that once she had the bundle growing in her stomach she wouldn't have stretch marks all over her stomach and sighed to herself.
She missed Creon. She wondered how he was doing.
Creon had explained to her his plan, and she didn't like it until he explained it some more. She no longer lived to hate Reece for pushing her off of the balcony or to get revenge on her. She did want what Creon wanted. They just wanted to have a life for their child and where they didn't have to deal with anyone or anything trying to kill their enemies off over a stupid prophecy.
Suddenly, a knock came at the door. Her heart began to race as she stood up to see who it was.
She looked through the peep hole in the door, but it was covered in morning dew and she couldn't see anything but a figure. She didn't know if it was a man or a woman.
She slowly opened the door and peeked out. "Hello?"
She saw a man standing outside her doorway and he shoved his way into the house, Monika falling to the floor on her back. She grabbed her stomach to make sure that the baby inside of her was okay.
"Where is he?" The man asked after he came back from looking in every room in the house top to bottom.
"Who are you talking about?" Monika asked, trying to get up, but couldn't. She reached for her phone and accidentally pushed the record button.
"You know who I am talking about. Your stupid husband that knocked you up. Where is he? If you don't talk I will kill both of you, you and your little pig inside of you!"
"I don't know where he is, honestly! He didn't tell me anything! he just told me to-" Monika stopped talking, seeing who she was talking to. "Oh, my God. Your Erone, aren't you?"
He smiled. "Why yes I am. I was the one who created your husband, and I will get rid of him just as easy as I brought him into this world if you don't tell me where he is!"
"Where is your brother, Roney?" Monika asked, grabbing the arm fo her couch and pulled herself up to look at him better.
"He is here, looking around your property to make sure he isn't trying to escape us. Now, stop talking about us. Where is he?" Erone asked, grabbing her neck.
"I cannot tell you if your choking me!" Monika sputtered.
Erone let go of her and she fell to the floor again like she had when he had first pushed past her to look in the house.
"Now, be a good wife and tell me where he is, and you will be spared," Erone said, leaning over her.
"Never!" Monika said, spitting in his face. She backed up as he slowly wiped the spit out of his face and she stood up against the wall, breathing heavily.
She was right next to the door and it was still open. She ran out the door, Erone right behind her.
"Get back here, Bitch!" he yelled, almost grabbing her sweatshirt that had been tied on her waist as it flapped in the wind as she ran down the stairs. "Roney! Get her!"
Suddenly, as Monika was turning to the neighbors house she saw another man which she assumed was Roney running right into her. She fell to the ground, grabbing her stomach to protect it, but it didn't help.
Erone finally caught up to her and leaned over her, smiling.
"I will give you one more chance to tell me where Creon is," Erone said.
Monika gasped for air as Roney grabbed her arm so tightly, she thought he would rip it off. "Never. Its too late, you son of a bitches!" She spat in their faces.
Erone didn't even try to wipe the spit off of his face. "Kill her. She is no need anymore."
Roney reached to his side and pulled a large jagged knife and held it to her neck.
"You sure that you don't want to tell us now?" Roney
