Page 130 of Their Wicked Secrets: Untouched, Vol 5 of 6

I dropped my phone, so I can’t call for help. Not that it would do any good. The guys don’t have their phones. Ashley doesn’t have her phone either. She only has on her blue bra and her cheer skirt.

Nico! Fuck. I start to rise and Ashley grabs my arm.

“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” she hisses.

“Nico.”

She shakes her head. “Think about it, Harper. He was at the door. If they got in that way, he’s not coming.”

I let out a shuddering breath as I collapse against the door. What if they hurt him?

“This is like a fucking panty raid. They shouldn’t hurt anyone.” Ashley doesn’t sound like she believes that.

I let out a disbelieving sound. “If Zach is behind it, then I wouldn’t count on that.”

Ashley rests her head against the door and closes her eyes. “The horsemen protect what’s theirs.”

I know that. In my heart, I know that. But they can’t be everywhere. They’re human. And what about the other girls?

“You said Emma got the others. What about Sidney?”

Ashley lets out a huff of disbelief. “Are you honestly worried about that bitch after everything she did to you?”

I draw in a breath and consider that. Sidney’s been a bitch since day one. She’s okay with Zach’s plan. But if we’re all under attack, she could be too. I don’t know if she would attack her friends like this.

But I’m still my mother’s daughter. “She’s a person. She could need our help.”

“You need to get it into your head that she’s not.” Ashley opens her dark eyes and meets mine. “Sidney only looks out for one person. Sidney. She hates you and will do anything to take you down. I’ve watched her take girl after girl out if Luke even glanced their way more than once. She’s territorial and worse than a fucking wild dog. She would rather put you down than have to deal with the fact that Luke Foster has a heart and it’s yours.”

Sidney needs to go, but I would never sick a sociopath on her or wish for any girl to get raped or murdered.

I don’t want to carry that weight. I’d rather do what’s right than stand by and do nothing. I spent too many years hiding.

“If it was within my power to stop her from being hurt physically, I would do it.”

“We’re not in power here.”

“I know.” I breathe out. If she’s not part of this, she’s on her own out there, which is probably for the best. She wouldn’t hesitate to use one of us to get herself out of trouble. “I’m not naive. Zach is likely the reason behind this attack. And if Zach’s involved, that means Sidney’s involved.”

“Now you’re getting it.” Ashley smiles. “Sorry to burst your bubble, pet. This world is out to tear you limb from limb.”

“Just like a zombie.” I rest my head back against the door. I almost wish it were zombies. Less gray areas.

The shuffle of boots still reaches us as they search the locker room. I hope all the other girls are okay. For a few seconds, we just listen. Shoulder to shoulder with our backs to the door.

“If I had to guess, we have a few minutes before your boyfriends break in here and save us.” Ashley chuckles. “I honestly never thought you’d have the balls to fuck all of them. Let alone claim them. That’s fucking bad ass.”

“Thanks?” I don’t know if that’s an insult or a compliment.

Shoes scuff next to the door and the light shines in again.

“Has anyone tried this office?” a guy yells out.

“No, but I’ve got three of them trapped in this room,” another voice yells.

The knob turns and we both hold our breath as we watch it.

“It’s locked.”
