Arya’s POV
“Please forgive me!” Nia knelt , rubbing her palms together as she begged. ” I don’t know where Lumia took him to
I stood there like I had been glued to a spot. What was she not the one who spilled a drink on me? Suddenly I had forgotten the manner Mika was speaking to me.
It became clear to me that a lot of things were going on. Probably Jake was in on it. That added to my sorry and I felt horrible. All along I had been dinning with the enemy.
“You don’t want to talk yet huh” Mika kicked Nia in the stomach and gasps erupted through the hall. I was beginning to fear that Nia could actually die.
Someone came in and we all turned to the door. It was a visibly angry Chase. His eyes was bloodshot and he was wet all over.
He walked over to Mika. “She hasn’t breathed a word” Mika said.
Chase walked menacingly towards Nia, as she kept crawling away. Now she was Lying at my feet.
“Pl…ple…. please…he.. help me ” she touched my feet. I was moved to tears and when I looked up, Chase was standing in front of me.
He stared intently at me as he grabbed her hair with so much force.
“No! no!” she held unto my feet but Chase pushed her away. ” she struggled to be free from his grip but it was useless. He stared at me. People were screaming and running farther away from us.
“while we were in the rain, some people were having a swell time” anger dripped from his words and my eyes watered. Kelsi and Angus stared at me.
“Let me go! Let me go!” Nia struggled, he tightened his grip and she began to scream, louder than before. My hands itched to stop him. I used my other hand to hold my hands from trembling
“Please forgive me! Please I beg you!” She managed to kneel as she wrung her hands out at me. ” please I have no idea where he is” she cried out. She kept rubbing her palms and my eyes watered.
A tear slipped out and I immediately wiped it away.
Chase went quiet as he watched me. Then he let go off Nia’s hair.
“All right this is what we will do “he stepped back and turned to Mika. “Beat her to death”
Nia heard this and grabbed me by the leg. “Miss Arya, please I beg you” she rubbed her face on my feet. Crying and begging.
“get in here!” Angus pushed a young man inti the building. He fell on his arm and he yelped out. I winced so did Kelsi. I didn’t even know when he left.
Angus proceeded to kick him in that stomach. He cried out, as he kept writhing on the ground. He looked up at Kelsi and she hiccupped. I had never seen her scared before. She grabbed my hands and I looked her in the face. I nodded and she nodded back in reply. Her eyes watered. It was as if she was reading my mind. I was filled with regret.
For accepting chase’s offer. For coming back. Now my son was lost. I sniffed.
*******************************************************************************************
“A Snitch?” Chase savings as he lowered to the level of the man.
“Your high-” he began but Chase stepped on his head and he screamed.
I shut my eyes and a tear fell from my face and I didn’t do anything to stop it.
“I told you I kill snitches!” He kicked him in that stomach and he spat out blood. I looked around and noticed the people for the party were still around. They looked white in the face. Their eyes threatening to bulge out.
“Where did you find him?” Chase asked.
“The woods. He was running away” Angus replied.
” Is it just him?” Chase asked.
“He and his second in command connived with Nia and opened the gates for the kidnapper. I like that one” Angus said in between breaths as he glared at the man.
I looked up and flinched as I noticed Chase was staring at me. His eyes were dark. He gritted his teeth and stepped away from the man.
When the guard turned his head marred with blood, I instantly recognized him. He was the head guard. I know he was wrong to have been a sell out but the manner of his death was grueling.
Running a hand through his hair, he looked up and sighed.
” I hate to do this” he immediately jerked the head guard up and slammed him to the ground. People screamed. I shut my eyes, hiding behind Kelsi. My heart hammered. What was with Chase and blood. I slowly opened my eyes and peeked at the man on the floor. He was no longer writhing around. He was now dead. My heart broke.
When I looked up, I almost winced on seeing Chase stare intently at me. Ohmygod. What did I do now?
“Any leads?” he said still staring at me.
“Yes, Dean and Hercules are in on it.” Angus replied.
Chase looked down at my feet. At Nia. Mika!” he yelled.
“Yes your highness”
“Strip her!”
More gasps erupted and some people began to sob.
“please I beg you!” Nia begged. ” I know nothing” she cried. Her voice filled the whole place.
I clenched my fist and I felt a hand over mine. I looked down to find Kelsi.
She stared at me and shook her head.
As Mika made her way to Nia, I took in a deep breath and stood in front of Nia. ” that’s enough!”
Mika glared at Me. Chase looked up at me.
“Now’s not the time to play pity ” Chase arched an eyebrow.
“You can’t get stuff out of them like this either!”
He smiled but it didn’t reach his eyes. “Touche” he nodded. ” but you seem to forget our son is missing!” his use of word our brought me back to reality. My shoulders slumped in defeat. When I raised my eyes up again. Chase gazer at me. Long and hard.
“Angus let’s go!” he barked. Together they left the hall. I turned and sobbed into Kelsi’s arms.
“Oh my little boy” I cried.
