Alice's POV:
I slowly opened my eyes. What happened? I looked around and my memory came back. I suddenly wish it hadn't. I had never felt so helpless in my entire life. I've always been fierce and full of so much fight. I don't know how long I've been here but it feels like weeks. After Frank left me with Leo, he took a lighter to my legs. I looked down and saw nasty burns on different parts of my legs. He kept the lighter there for a while so some of the burns were third degree and numb.
I learned about burns in one of my health classes and I knew that a third degree burn can be infected very easily. There are many risks with a burn this bad but the good thing was that the numbness dulled out the pain in that area. The cuts on my stomach still hurt like a bitch though. I heard footsteps and my eyes closed again. If I pretend to be asleep, maybe they will leave.
"Wake up." Frank commanded me. I kept my eyes shut tight. He opened the door to the cell and it isn't like I could leave. He walked up to me and forced my eyes open. He lifted my head and looked my in the eyes. "When I tell you to do something, you do it." He glared at me. What the fuck happened him? He needs to get some sleep or take a Xanax.
I glared at the man in front of me and spit on his suit. He got mad and backhanded me across the face. I winced in pain but the pain only fueled my anger. He grabbed my face and began to speak.
"So it seems like your little boy toys, are on there way here. I guess you'll have to go sooner than expected." Frank shrugged and that must be why he's so pissy. I just thought he was on his man period.
"They are going to kick the shit out of you." I coughed. I felt dizzy and tired all of a sudden. One of his people gave him a knife. How could I die when I've come so far? Frank plunged the knife into my stomach. He left it there and I fell to the ground. My breathing became ragged and my vision became blurry.
"I'd like to see them try." Frank spat and left the room. I watched as he walked away. Those boys better avenge me or I'm going to haunt their asses.
Jace's POV:
We were all driving to Frank's house. There has to be about fifteen to twenty vans but we led them. Percy had a nice red car which looked a lot different from the other vans. We pulled up to the gate at his house. Frank's house was in the middle of nowhere. I guess that made it easier for him to hide out.
Ryder put a silencer on his gun and shot the security system on the side of the gate. The gate was no longer locked so we drove right through it. We knew that Frank would be notified that the security was tampered with so we had to work fast. We had one other girl in the car with us. Alec invited her to come with us in the lead van. I didn't question it at all. I think her name is Harley.
"You guys ready?" She asked as she loaded her machine gun. No one was outside so I suspected that they were all protecting the house. Such a stupid move. We opened the doors for the cars and stepped out. Alec threw his cigarette on the floor and stepped on it to put it out.
"Yeah, let's kick some ass baby girl." Alec winked at Harley. Well that escalated quickly.
"Dont talk to me like that or I'll have to shoot you." She glared at him and he laughed as he turned to us.
"I think I'm in love!" He announced and I couldn't keep my laughter in. Why does he always pick the most stubborn girls? I guess I can't fight him on it though because of Alice but I loved her stubbornness. She wasn't afraid to tell you off or stand up for herself. You just can't find a girl like Alice these days.
"We're going through the back and side doors. You should go through the front and make a scene." A guy on behind me stated and I agreed. It was more of a chance to be shot but I am pretty confident that I can kick ass as usual. Let's not think about the last time I saw Frank and almost died though. I was having an off day. I won't let my guard down this time.
"Once you get in there, shoot everyone accept Alice. She's probably in the basement cell." I told him and he nodded. People started walking to the back. Alec, Ryder, Harley, and about eight other people planned to go in the front with us. I made sure that everyone had a gun and that it was loaded. We all walked to the door quietly and a big guy from the back kicked it down. Once that happened, all hell broke loose.
Guns fired left and right. I stayed by the side so I had something to protect me from bullets as I shot at Frank's men. I took a second and looked around. Frank wasn't in this room. Looks like we'll have to go looking for him. Once there was an even amount of people, everyone ran towards each other. A guy, who looked to be twice my strength size, came at me. I reached for my gun but it fell by the time he reached me. The guy punched me in the face and I punched him in the stomach.
He tripped me and I fell to the ground. His hands went around my throat and I was loosing oxygen quickly. Through the struggle, I grabbed my knife from my pocket. I cut his arm deeply because I couldn't get to his throat. He loosened his grip and I looked at my gun which was about a foot away from me. I grabbed it and shot the man in the head. His whole body went limp and I stood up.
Everyone was down except for Alec, Ryder, Harley, and three other people. I turned to Ryder and saw that he had blood dripping down his face.
"We heard gunshots from the back, hopefully our guys are okay. Where do we go next?" Alec asked no one in particular.
"Should we go downstairs and get Alice or go upstairs and clear the whole house first?" Ryder commented.
"Alice is first priority but we aren't positive that she's in the cell." Alec stated and reloaded his gun.
"Let's just go the the basement and hope to find her." Harley shrugged and started walking to the basement. We all followed her and once we got downstairs, my heart stopped. Alice was lying on the floor with a knife through her stomach. Her eyes were closed and I ran to the cell door. It was locked and the keys were nowhere in sight.
"Step aside boys, I got this." Harley stepped in front of us. "I found this in the closet. I thought it would be helpful." She showed us a flame thrower. At that point, I didn't question it. We all stepped back and she began to melt the bars.
"You can't do this any faster?" Ryder asked her impatiently. I kept looking around to see if anyone was coming.
"Really Ryder? Would you like to switch places?" She growled at him and he shut up. We heard footsteps and my guard was up. There were seven of us so I just had to hope it wasn't a bunch of people. Harley didn't stop melting the bars as Alec stood in front of her for protection.
"Look what we have here." Frank smiled weirdly. He had two guys behind him and I didn't recognize either of them.
"We are just here for Alice. Leave now and I won't kill you... yet." Ryder warned Frank.
"The party is just getting started though. I have such a grand surprise for you boys!" Frank laughed and I've never hated anyone more in my life. "Leo!" He called out. The name didn't hit me at the time until he appeared.
How is this possible? He is supposed to be dead. I could feel my whole body shake with anger. Ryder launched across the room at Leo while I stood, unable to move. I wanted to beat the shit out of the man who killed my family, but I was frozen.
"Ryder!" Alec'c yell took me out of my thoughts. I saw that Ryder was on the floor, holding his shoulder. His eyes were tightly closed as he tried to shut out the pain.
That's when I realized something, I couldn't let Leo take anything else from me. He stole everything from me so I'm going to take the only thing he has left, his life.
A/N: Yay! I've been updating on time!!!!! I don't really have a picture for Leo so you can imagine him as you will.
Another thing I want to bring up, can someone please make me an amazing cover for this book? I am horrible when it comes to that. :/ I would appreciate it a lot. You can DM it to me if you make one and I'll shout you out. :)
I've been having problems with deciding the ending of this book. One of my options is to make Alice end up with someone.
If that happens, I need help deciding who.
Jace?
Ryder?
Or Alec?
Thank you so much! Please vote and comment if you like my book. :) ~Katyrules
