5. He is hot

Suzanne's standpoint

I stood at the shore of the little island the girls and I lived. We discovered the secret island attached to Mego, connecting all three islands in one path. No one knew it was there, only magic helped me see it. The island was our home, where we stayed and no one could find. As surely as the sea lived, no one would ever find it.

Anyways, I watched the water rage on, wave after waves clashing against each other. The water was deadly, a cold spear to anyone who dared venture too close, the angry voice of the one after me. No one else could see it, no one else could feel it except me. Each day the ocean grew wilder, deadlier, more unstable, swallowing lives after lives each passing day. Every single day drew me closer to the day he would find me, pulled me closer to the day I would fight for my liberty. He didn't know where I was, he could only feel me when my feet touch the water, but as long as my true form remain locked inside of me, he would never pinpoint my location. To him, I was everywhere but nowhere, the sea and again not the sea.

But the darker the colour of the sea became, the closer he was to finding me. Hopefully, I would be ready for what is to come.

I shut my eyes and listened to the faint music of the sea, breathing in the freshwater. "I don't even know how to find these girls, why did I tell him that I would!" Beatrice's voice floated into my ears. Through the magic of the island connected to the sea and then me, I could hear when someone was talking about us. "Suzanne, Claudia, Kassandra, please do your thing and find me already, I don't wanna disappoint him."

"Hmm," I opened my eyes and turned back to the cave. Claudia was training at the entrance of our home which is the cave, whilst Sandra sharpen her knives. "Beatrice seeks us, I think she has gotten us another job." Beatrice was an old friend, she grew up with us in the streets before she became a barmaid and got a nice place to stay. We didn't follow her because sluttiness wasn't our thing.

"Really?" Claudia huffed, roundhouse kicking the hard tree she was training with. Claudia was a beauty to behold, a replica of her mother. Her crinkly ginger hair and damask lips were her main attraction, not that any man has dare approach her. Her mother had the exact same feature; slenderness and orange-brown eyes included. She was bold with masculine voice and hard veins from years of training.

Claudia was what you would call a "I don't care" person, everything was 'meh' to her. The only thing she cared about was us and punching someone in the face. I loved her most because she was more understanding and knew what to say at the right time. "Yeah, she needs to see us, I'll stay back as usual, while you go handle it, okay?" She stopped kicking the tree and grinned expectantly.

"Do I get to punch someone for real this time?" She asked with that same grin.

"Ur, no."

She pouted and folded her arms. "not even one?"

"Don't fight, Sandra go with her just to make sure she don't break anyone's head."

"But I have to finish this good book later," Sandra whined, "I'm almost at the part where Derek confesses his love to Anastasia,"

"You can read it on your way or when you get back, go before she leaves the tree she is standing at," Sandra began grumbling. She was a sweet chatterbox, but when it came to sending her on an errand, she grumbles too much.

Kassandra is awfully laid-back; lazy to be precise. And her book time is her own time, just like her mother. Unlike Claudia, Sandra had orange-blond hair, light brown eyes and scarlet skin hair and lips. You could call her a female Esau because of her red skin. Her hobbies includes reading, writing, eating, sleeping and not stressing herself. Her likes includes stealing, cute boys, pretty dresses and more sleeping. Her special abilities consist of speed, tracking, agility, whining and laziness. I love her though. Sandra was extremely cute and small, like a growing child. Don't ever call her cute to her face or she will blow your head off.

"Get your ass moving," Claudia said loudly, kicking Sandra's butt. Sandra cried out childishly, stomping her feet in childish annoyance.

"But I'm tired," she cried. I smiled as Claudia chased her inside to get ready. They were my family, a family I would leave soon in order to protect them. Hopefully, it wasn't anytime soon.

Kassandra's standpoint

Nobody ever listens to me, nobody ever cares about my resting. I adore snatching things, but my resting time remains my me time. I need to read, eat, sleep or do anything that doesn't involve stress. Claudia could go on her own and then report back to us, then I would move my sorry butt to the next mission. Why drag me along?! I blame Suzanne, enemy of Sandras everywhere.

"Will you stop muttering and shuffling behind me," Claudia snapped irritably, "we are here already," she inclined her head towards the tree Beatrice sat. She sat under the tree, staring up at the sky in thought or whatever. The trees were out teleportation station, Suzanne's magic and connection to the sea, which connects to the island is quite useful. "So stop yapping and start walking, qui-et-ly, kapish?"

"Yes, Lady Grandma," I said sarcastically. She smiled before pulling her mask over her nose. I did the same too, also pulling my headcover down.

We soundlessly walked towards her, me mentally grumbling and she humming. When we got to her, Claudia folded her arms and cleared her throat, Beatrice didn't move. "What's wrong with this one?"

"I know that look, she's daydreaming about the sex she had the previous night, or daydreaming about the guy she's crushing on. I vote the former, and now I'm bored, bye bye." I turned to leave but she pulled me back by the cloth covering the scruff of my neck.

"Easy there, kitty, easy,"

"That does it," I huffed, turned around and growled at her. "I am not a kitty! Kittens are cute and I…am…not…cute!!!" My snappy voice made Beatrice jerk up with a scream.

"Now look what you did, kitty, you startled the girl," Claudia continued nevertheless.

"I am not cute," I cried.

"Hey, girls," Beatrice breathed, her hand on her chest, "you startled me there… Hey! You came!"

"Whoo, we came," I said sarcastically, "now why the hell are you looking for us? I have a date with a book and my bed so start talking."

"There's this guy that needs your help, money is involve," she blushed and bit her finger shyly. I rolled my eyes with a scoff. Money is always involve.

"You mean there's this guy you are sleeping with that needs our help," I said as a matter-of-fact, crossing my arms under my breasts.

"Well, there's no denying it," she giggled, "I met him two nights ago and last night he was so sweet to me…"

"Sweet, really?" Claudia asked with a knowing look.

"Okay, he was really rough and his strength almost broke my spine, but it was the sweetest roughness I had ever experience. Even though it hurt, I kept digging for more and…"

"Okaaay, I'm bored," Claudia said mirthlessly, "now who is this man?"

"He's right here," my body twirled instinctively, taking up a protective stance. Standing far behind us under the sunlight, skin shimmering like a sea of diamonds, like Suzanne's. He was literally the most good looking man I had ever seen, the most good looking.

Jet black hair with little streaks of ebony, scintillating under the sunlight. Pale white skin— glistering pale skin by the way— ruby red lips and muscles, oh sweet muscles. Where have you been all my life? He walked closer to us, hands behind his back. Claudia stood in front of me, warning him to stay back.

"Who are you and what do you want from us? Be fast about it."

"I thought you were three?"

"How did you follow me?" Beatrice asked in shock.

"Thank you very much for your assistance, Bee, I'll take it from here," is it me, or am I getting wet? I sighed dreamily and dramatically collapsed on Claudia's back.

"Now I understand why you are daydreaming, he is so hot," I blurted out. Claudia nudged me with the back of her shoulder, mentally nudging me to shut it. "Ignore me." I whispered, hiding my masked face behind her back.

I stayed there daydreaming, I was getting married to him already and carrying our baby. I only opened my eyes after Claudia stepped away, causing me to stumble to the ground face flat.
