High school Sweethearts - Niragi

Chapter 25: "It's all over"

------------------------------- Niragi pov

-"Niragi! I followed him, and he went inside a different bedroom. Do you think she could be in there?", a heavily panting Hisashi came running up to our observatory spot.

Those words immediately activated my instinct to run, without wanting to think twice, without wanting to waste more time, I wanted to find her. The only thoughts on my mind were her, and how she must be in such a distressed state, how people have been able to lay their hands on her, held captive, all against her will.

"Well we have to find out now". I instantly left our spot, being followed by my other members. My biggest fear was that she had already been abused, hurt, or that the worst you could imagine was done to her.

I dashed trough the corridors, feeling the increasement of the cortisol level in my blood, all irrelevant thoughts being wiped from my mind, as I only had one objective.

To find her.

"Which room was it exactly?", I asked, not even slowing down my pace.

-"Room 1209!".

I let my feet guide me to our goal, ignoring all of my surroundings. My heart was pounding in my chest, almost as if it could explode due to all the stress I was under. My hands were shaking, holding my rifle tightly against my chest.

We finally arrived at the room, now only having to find a way inside, to look for Y/N.

-"It's this one! I saw him going in here". Hisashi was about to take a try at opening the door, but thinking about how we must stay as discrete as possible, I stopped him in his tracks.

"I'll try to listen if there's still anyone in first". I walked over to the door, and put my ear against the wooden surface, trying to figure out if any sounds were to be heard. It was a little unclear, but I could still hear muffled noises from the other side. It sounded almost like people were fighting in the room.

Wait a minute, is it Y/N fighting off the other guy?

My thoughts soon became clear, as I again could hear loud thuds, followed with what sounded exactly as a feminine whimper.

"Y/N?!", I yelled out, not being able to think straight anymore, letting the consumed anger take over my body, and immediately started to kick in the door. I felt so unnerved, my body just went in auto-pilot, letting it work out all the unpleasant emotions I had been feeling all at once.

The door lock almost completely gave out, as the door hinges also almost fell out of place. Not wanting to give up any time soon, my feet kept kicking in the lock, as it finally broke off. The door flew open in one big movement, giving us the chance to run inside.

I finally saw her again, now standing in front of us, a few meters further, being restrained in the arms of one of our previous target's comrade.

The gun he was holding quickly found it's way to her temple, cocking it back without hesitating.

-"If you come any closer I'll shoot", were the first words that left his mouth. I could feel the anxiety coming back up, as I looked at her trembling state. Her cheeks were wet, noticeably bruised, her lip cut, dried up blood still lingering on her chin. I was right, she was in fact battered.

Do I still want to live? Or am I going to die?

In this situation, I don't even know how to think straight anymore. How can I even get out if this position, without a bullet being fired into my brain?
