Elena
Fuck me! Yes fuck me big fucking time! I scream my lungs out. How could I? How could I forget today is my Love’s birthday?
Jesus Christ.
This is so heavy on me. Now I feel like Avera. I feel like the fucking bitch. I didn’t mean to forget your birthday dad…I’m crying, crashing myself on the floor. I usually set a reminder alarm for my father’s birthday but that doesn’t mean the date has to leave my head but I just got fucked.
No, No dad, I’m sorry. I put down my glass and run out of the kitchen, holding my phone tightly. I’m happy I haven’t started drinking yet. If not, I wouldn’t have been able to drive tonight. I was about to take a sip when the alarm came up. Gosh, how could I do this to dad? I’m so messed up. I fucking feel pain and hate myself more now than I do Avera.
I can’t find Ava or Ella in this crowded party. I want to tell them I’m going first, but I can’t find them and I can’t spend one more moment in this mansion with the guilt burning inside me.
I’m running out of the house, finding my way to the parking lot when I hear Ella screams. I look back and see her tied up at the balcony and a rope holding her not to fall down, but if that rope should be set free then all I will take back home is Ella’s dead body.
No!
I put my keys back to my pocket and run to where Ella is. What is happening? I don’t see anyone behind her, but certainly someone has put her there. But the most awful thing is she’s half naked. Whoever did this want to embarrass her or me. Her two full breasts are dangling up in the balcony, her hair is messy and all over her face. She’s crying and some of her hair is stuck by the wet tears on her cheek.
I run upstairs. This is where I saw Riley go earlier. As soon as I take two steps up the staircase, realization hits me. It’s the Quads doing and they are using Ella. How the fuck did they know she’s related to me?
I bite my lips. Shit, they are the Quads and they have their ways of getting whatever they want. They are after me, I know, and my time is fucking up! Shit!
If I turn to run back home, then I’m losing Ella. It will just take seconds for Ella to lose her life in the hands of the Quads. I know what they want, it’s me, and no I won’t run away. I am not going to act like a coward again for something I didn’t even do.
I take the steps by two till I finally reach upstairs and find out I’m right it.
“Elena please save me!” she screams. Her make up is melting on her face, her mascara is all over her cheek.
I turn away from her and see them grinning. I gulp. I want to tremble at their dangerous look towards me. I see Riley folding her hands and smiling suspiciously. I knew when she told me to enjoy the party, there were devising up a plan, but it never occurred to me that Ella would be dragged into it.
“What are you doing, let go of her now.” I yell.
Darius is smiling dangerously as he is coming closer. “What took you so long our little mate?” he smiles, pulling my red hair and curling it on his fingers. I’m shaking, I want to step back away from him but Tyson quickly comes behind me.
“Is our little doll scared?” he whispered to my ears and let out a laugh that makes my legs wobble.
“Darius, I thought you loved me.” it’s Ella. She’s crying and couldn’t believe the Darius she left me for at the parking lot is a devil that would lure you and kill you. That is what the devil does, he lures you into sin and kill you for obeying that sin.
“Beg.” Ryan’s voice is deep. There’s no anger in his voie anymore, but danger. He is the mastermind, and he would surely show no mercy.
“If you don’t beg to us by crawling on your knees, then you are fucking losing your cousin.” Darius smirks. I can see Ella’s heart getting sliced by his words.
If she had listened to me, then she wouldn’t be trapped here. All this is fucking Avera’s fault. If I hadn’t seen her messing around, I would have done everything to stop Ella from coming here and I definitely wouldn’t be here. Now, I’m trapped. Shit!
“Let her go.” I hear an unfamiliar male voice and I look back to see who spoke. I think I have seen him with Ella before in school. He’s probably Ella’s classmate.
Gosh, this is so going to be a mess. How could he show up here now? He probably doesn’t know who these Quads are. The Quads don’t say anything yet, they just look at him and laugh out like hell.
“I said let Ella go. What the fuck is all these? How could you do this to a woman?” he is ranting, and I’m biting my lips looking for a way to make him seal up his lips, or better yet, run from here.
I would handle it myself. I know it’s me they want. Even though it would be crushing all my pride. I have to save Ella from them at all cost.
“You want to set her free?” Ryan steps forward, his blue eyes are deadly now. I know Ryan is a fighter. He can even kill a grown-up man with his bare hands. I’m silently screaming, oh no!
He is still bold. I wish I could just kick him and tell him to get the fuck out of here. Yes, for his own fucking life.
“Yes, let her go.” he says, boldly.
“Then fight me. If you beat me then I will let her go with you, even with Elena.” Ryan says, smiling.
Jesus Christ. Is this student new or something? Because everyone knows no one can ever fight with the Quads, and can speak of winning it.
“Yes, deal then.” he says. He is raising his sleeves up as he rounds his fist into a ball.
It’s the bloody boldness for me. Anger is rising up my chest when I see that he doesn’t even flinch. Is this guy tired of living? I can’t tolerate this. No.
“No! Stop this. Fuck you! Who are you to save us? Fuck you, big time!” I yell at his face. I’m angry because I can smell something dangerous for him.
Does he want to die? Does he fucking know that he’s about to get six feet underground in the next minutes?
“Andrew, no please.” Ella screams. Ryan is taking off his white body hug shirt, throwing it to Daniel as he rolls his fist into ball.
I run between them. I want to try talk to Ryan. But I see that he is too enraged to even listen to me. He isn’t enraged because this guy is trying to save us, he is enraged because he dares to challenge him for a fight. A fight he is hundred percent going to lose.
“Get Elena out of here.” he orders. Darius pulls me away from them. I’m trying not to move but his strength is twenty times than mine. He doesn’t even need much of his strength to pull me away.
“You fucking don’t have the balls to fight him, boy! Get your fucking ass out of there.” I scream. He hears me but he’s proving adamant.
“I would let you take the first blow,” Ryan smirks. Fucking bastard. I’m cursing at him. “That’s unfair to me, but it’s a chance to beat me up.” he smiles. That smile is a dark one.
I don’t believe someone can display foolishness in form of boldness. He’s throwing a punch to Ryan and I want to puke out of annoyance.
“That’s not bad, boy, come on beat Ryan for us.” his brothers are mocking the guy. They are sure having fun out of this.
His eyes dart from Ryan to his three brothers as they make fun of him. Then he took his eyes back to his opponent. There’s a huge hit on his jaw.
His head snaps to the side. I’m screaming.
Ryan gives him a moment to get on his feet before punching another side of his face. It landed hard on his nose, making him to stumbles back.
He grits his teeth, cracking his knuckles as he sends another punch. Fuck, he’s almost covered in blood now. Ella is screaming too, but the Quads are grinning so hard.
They are fucking bastards.
He stumbles back and falls on Tyson. Tyson doesn’t punch him but holds him up for Ryan as he is throwing so many punches on his damn face. His face is now covered with blood.
“Get up and fight, you moron.” Ryan’s grinning. He isn’t even breathing hard like the other guy who is almost dead. He isn’t speaking anymore; he is too weak to do so. Ryan shows no patience for him to get up. He climbs on him after Tyson tosses him to the floor.
He reaches out for his neck, and gives it a one-time hard twist. Then he’s up from the body. He’s dead.
“No!!!” I hear Ella’s screams first from the balcony. I’m still in shock. I’m numb. I can’t move as if my legs are glued to the spot. I think I’m not breathing for a second, until I let out something out of my lips.
“Y- you killed him.” I’m stumbling backwards. No one is shocked, not Ryan’s brothers nor Riley, only Ella and me.
“Now beg!” he orders angrily at me. “Elena, beg us to save your cousin’s life or she will be gone, like this bastard here.” he says, kicking the dead body. tears roll down my cheek. I can’t speak I’m still in complete shock. “And you beg by coming to us. You come and we’ll set her free.” he’s smiling like the devil he is.
