She gave me a vicious smile. "Avery, just in time. You'll have to excuse what we're about to do, you are collateral damage"
I had enough of being messed around and by the way she stood and the two men beside her I became worried. I noticed the guns the men were holding and I knew I was in some deep shit.
I wearily eyed the two men and tried inching a step back.
For some reason wherever I go, trouble follows.
"Look Chantelle, I'm not feeling so well so I reckon I'll just head back to my house" I faked a smile and tried walking back.
Chantelle didn't budge. "Go where? Your house with two dead people in it?"
I stopped walking.
How did she even know that? I doubt Xavier told her that fast.
I turned around frowning. "How do you know that?"
She didn't bother answering. Instead she turned to the two men. "Grab her"
My eyes went wide and I knew what was about to happen. It was all so familiar. I was about to get kidnapped.
A short skinny man walked up to me as I inched backwards.
He laid his hands on me and I turned his arms backwards using it in my favour. His arms were leaning the wrong way and he winced in pain.
With my knee I used all of my force and kicked upwards landing straight in his face.
He immediately fell over and clenched his nose which wouldn't stop bleeding.
I have to thank all of my self defence classes.
Didn't help me before when I was kidnapped but I had learned better.
"You bitch!" the man groaned clenching his nose.
I took this chance to sprint for my life.
I heard Chantelle speak. "Get her"
Unfortunately for me the other man was faster and his grip on me was stronger.
I tried wiggling my way out of his reach yet he was too strong.
His golden brown eyes sent me some kind of warning. "Stop resisting, unless you want the guy you just kicked to escort you back and trust me, he won't be so understanding"
I decided to listen to him as I knew there was no way I was getting out of this.
He wrapped a rope around my hands and led me back to the car that Chantelle was already sitting in.
He led me softly and his grip on me wasn't rough.
I noticed the other man sitting in the front driving.
He started opening the door yet I stopped him.
"Goodness sake, open the door. I've got arms too" I said rather annoyed.
He smiled in amusement. "Whatever you say princess"
I didn't like being pushed around.
And it was difficult to open the door with my hands tied but I managed to without completely embarrassing myself.
The car was set up in a limo structure, not being able to see the driver. There was also four seats, sets of two sitting opposite each other.
Chantelle already occupied one of them and I slid in opposite her as the other man sat beside me.
The car started up and started driving to wherever we were heading. To be honest I didn't want to know where we were going.
"How did you know?" I asked repeating my question from earlier.
I have a feeling that whatever Chantelle was about to tell me, it wasn't gonna be good.
She smiled rather proud. "Who do you think orchestrated it?"
Orchestrated it. As though she planned the whole thing.
Everything fell into place as I connected all of the dots. I felt a kind of range explode from me. I felt furious and angry, yes Damien killed my mum but Chantelle gave the orders.
It's all her fault she's dead. And she probably has something to do with Damien's death.
"You told Damien to kill my mum" I barely whispered out.
She smiled. "Goody, she's not as dumb as she looks"
I wanted to wipe that smile straight off her face.
"You killed my mum!?" I yelled at her fuming with anger.
She didn't seem to care at all. "Do you not listen? Damien killed her, I sure as hell didn't" she then muttered with annoyance "But I have to admit it was more than difficult getting Damien on our side, he is one loyal man" she then smiled "But nothing like a threat towards his whole family and suddenly you have a loyal soldier. It did take killing his sister to persuade him though"
I felt so disgusted and angry at Chantelle. She's a whole new person and I feel completely blindsided.
I felt drained of every emotion.
Damien told me he was going to be with his sister when he died. Chantelle had killed her just to get Damien on her side.
I shook my head in disbelief. "Why would you do that?"
"I want to kill Xavier. Our gangs mission is to kill Xavier" she stated.
So all this time I thought she was a normal school girl living her life. Yet I know there's always a twist. I can't know one normal person. I can't trust anyone.
Everyone I thought I could trust completely broke it. I can't rely on anyone.
I didn't believe her. There's no way she'd kill Xavier.
I remained firm in my denial. "You wouldn't kill your brother"
"On the contrary I've been waiting to kill him" she said without a hint of regret or guilt. "I should've been the gang leader, I'm the oldest. Yet my parents thought I couldn't fit the role. So they gave it to Xavier. My own parents thought I wasn't good enough. So I killed them" she shrugged casually.
"Made it look like an accident. Everyone was completely naive and believed it" she laughed "they all believed that I was genuinely crying, which was all fake"
I gave her a horrified look. She killed her own parents because they gave the role of being a gang leader to her brother. I couldn't quite understand any of it.
And I thought Xavier was the messed up one. Well this one's a whole lot crazier.
A look of anger and fury crossed her features "I have been in the shadows my whole life, but now everything's about to change. I will kill him and take over his gang"
Something tells me she's not just telling me this because she just wanted to vent.
"Why are you telling me all this?" I asked.
She laid her eyes on me and smirked. "Because you won't be able to tell anyone any of this. You'll be dead before you see Xavier ever again"
I had enough, I just wanted all of this to end. I just want to be at peace. "So just kill me!" I urged her with a pleading look.
She laughed at this. "Oh so you're begging me to kill you?" she shook her head "Such a weakling, your mum dies and a guy you've known for what? A month dies and you break. I don't know what Xavier sees in you"
If she isn't going to kill me then at least get her out of my sight. I was so disgusted at her I'd rather spent my last few days being tortured. Because staring at this killer was way worse.
"Don't worry I'll kill you soon" she reassured me. "Just after I use you as bait to set a trap somewhere your not. And of course Xavier will come running, only to find himself in a trap and you dead . Then I'll kill him" She explained.
It seems like she's had this planned for so long, having worked everything out. But what made her so sure Xavier would come running?
I felt myself smile. "Xavier won't come" I said with such confidence.
She had no idea how done he was with me and I the same with him.
He's shown he doesn't care about me when he pulled a gun to my head. He might have taken a shot of Damien hadn't interrupted. It's a question I may never have the answer to.
She gave me a reassuring look. "He has deep feelings for you and only an idiot won't be able to see that"
I denied it. "If your relying on that than your plan is going to fail. He doesn't care about me, our last argument I told him I never want to see him ever again"
She seemed offended and attacked by what I first said. "I have thought of every single way that this could fail and my plan is flawless. It's depending on his feelings for you but he cares for you. He won't admit it and he'll push you away because he doesn't like it"
She smirked. "Trust me when I say he'll come"
And boy did I hope she's wrong.
