A/N: Here is chapter 17!
Enjoy <333
Elora's POV:
5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour; the clock in my eldest brother's office kept ticking. It was now 6:15 a.m and my brothers were still nowhere to be found. It was getting pretty cold in Enzo's office because I was only wearing a sweatshirt on top of my pajamas. I was just lying down on the couch when I heard loud voices coming from outside of the door.
"Are you sure that she's in here?" I hear a man say.
"Positive. Rick says that the cameras show her in this room." Another man answers his question.
Are they talking about me? Shit are they here to kidnap me? I quickly snap out of my thoughts when I hear knocking on the door. Fuck, fuck, fuck. I need to get out of here. Which would be easy if Enzo's office didn't have no windows and only one door, that had two men that were probably here to kidnap me standing right outside of.
Knock. "Anyone in there?" Knock. "Look kid, we need you to open this door." Knock. "We're your brothers friends Elora, we're here to help you."
They knew my name? Maybe they actually did know my brothers... No, Elora. Your brothers said not to open the door to anyone.
"Come on Elora, we won't hurt you." The first man says, sounding a bit more persistent.
"Look, open the door before we open it for you." Shit, what do I do? I think about what Enzo would do. Oh my gosh, that should be a thing, WWED (what would Enzo do). Anyways, I can think about a name later. First, I need to make a plan.
Before I can come up with anything good, I hear a louder pounding on the door. "You have one more chance to come out, before we bust it down." One of the men threatens.
The only thing that I can think of doing is calling one of my brothers, so that's what I do. I call Enzo, and he surprisingly picks up.
Phone Call
Enzo- Elora?
Elora- Enzo there's people outside of the door.
Enzo- Do they know that you're in there?
Elora- Yeah, they were knocking on the door. They said that they were your friends.
Enzo- Fuck. Elora, they are NOT our friends, okay. Do not open the door. We'll be there soon.
End of Phone Call
I let out a deep breath. He'll be here soon, Elora, don't worry. The knocking gets increasingly louder and then I hear it. Bang. They're shooting at the door. Shit, that means they'll have the door down in a few minutes. I really hope that Enzo gets here quickly.
Bang, bang. More gunshots. One of them goes straight through the door knob. I see a hand reach through the newly created hole in the door and unlock the door from the outside. Shit, it'll be open any second. I take a step back when I see the door open.
I see the two men that had been talking to me before walk over the threshold. My heart sinks when I realize that there's no escaping.
"Come with us Elora." One of the men says, slowly taking steps towards me. I take a few more steps back.
"Come on kid, if you come with us we won't hurt you." The other one says. I take a few more steps back but suddenly my back hits the wall and I realize I can't go anywhere.
"What do you want with me." I say less confidently than I wanted to.
"Aww that's so cute. The princess is clueless." The first man taunts me. I want nothing more than to punch him in the face at this moment.
"Did your big brothers forget to mention the fact that they're cold blooded killers?" My heart stops as the second man says this. Killers? I knew that they might have done some bad things, but murderers? I can't imagine Dom, my brother whom I was just drinking peppermint mochas with, kills people.
"Y-you're lying." My confidence is completely gone at this point.
"We're not, now let's go. The boss wants to see you." One of them says, while grabbing my arm.
"Let go of me." I command then as I try to get out of his grasp. Slap. My head goes to the side as I feel a hand shaped mark forming on my face. The bitch just hit me.
"Look little girl, you're coming with us, whether you like it or not." The other one threatens. I look back over to the one that hit me, I can feel tears in my eyes. He pulls me out of the door and I suddenly see my brothers running up the stairs. A bit late, don't you think?
"Let go of her right now." Enzo commands the man holding on to me. His voice scares me, it's even more intimidating than when he talks to me.
"No, now let us out and we won't shoot her" The man holding me puts a gun to my head. I stiffen when I feel the cold metal of the gun being pressed against the side of my head.
All of my brothers look pissed, they all have this murderous look in their eyes, okay I guess I do see the killer thing now.
"I don't think you know what you're getting yourself into." Enzo takes a small step closer to us. "No one messes with me or my family." PERIODT ENZO, that's my brother. He pulls out a gun and shoots the two men before I can even blink.
I stare at the bodies on the floor in shock. What if Enzo had missed and shot me instead? Are they going to hurt me? I don't even know what to do. My brothers all rush up to me, but I start to back away from them. However, my brothers are quicker than me and they easily get to me.
"We're here Elora, everything's okay now." Dom soothes me, while hugging me. I want to get away from him as fast as possible, away from all of them, but for some reason I feel safe in his arms. I just hug him back as tight as possible, letting the tears fall. Before I know it, he's lifting me up and my arms are wrapped around his neck. I unbury my face from his chest and look around as we descend down the steps.
All I see is blood and bodies. People are running around, trying to clean everything and I instinctively bury my face back into Dom's chest not wanting to look at the scene around me. He takes me to my room and gently puts me down while telling me to pack a small bag, because we'll be staying somewhere else for a few nights.
I put a few outfits and some toiletries in a small backpack and step out of my bedroom door. My brothers are all waiting there for me and we walk to the first floor together. No one says a word as we exit through the front door and get into one of my brother's cars. Something tells me that this is going to be a really long car ride.
