Do me a favor and share and vote for this story in honor of the occasion c: all it takes is the click of a button. But then again, I'm fucking lazy so even then I probably wouldn't vote for this shit. :')

*Destry's Point of View*

"Destry!!!" Des cried from across the room.

She was tied, binded, and chain to the bed.

Her face bruised and swollen from the merciless attacks.

"DES!" I cry louder, trying to reach her.

My hands were cuffed behind my back, the metal biting my skin, as I squirmed and writhe on the linoleum floor.

I lay in my own pool of blood, a deep gunshot wound in my abdomen.

I had to save them.

The man closest to Des reached back, bringing his hand to her face, with an earsplitting crack.

Her head jerked, red finger marks already showing.

Anger welded inside me.

Asher, Ashlee, Jake, and Emlia sat in the floor, tied and blinded together.

Asher's eyes were bruised, and emotionless.

Ashlee sobbed, pleading to let them go, to the man holding the gun to his own head.

Emelia sat calmly, quietly.

And Jake....

My heart caught in my throat.

A bullet hole revealed itself in makes head, his body limp against Ashlee.

"JAKE!! YOU FUCKING BASTARDS!!! Let us GO!" I scream at the two masked men.

The man nearest to Des looked away, guiltly almost.

As for the other, he stared me in the eyes under his dark mask.

He inched closer to me, holding the gun.

The cool metal kissed my forehead.

I closed my eyes.

"LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Des screeched, shaking the bed.

The man spoke.

His chilly voice sent unpleasant spidery chills unto the atmosphere.

He gripped my jaw, and I jerked away.

"Don't fucking touch me." I spat bitterly.

He laughed a merciless, physcotic laugh.

"Oh Destry. You sassy little boy. You've got quiet a mouth on you, we might have to fix that."

His gun butt smashed into my jaw, causing my teeth to shatter under the force.

A furious fire spread through my mouth, as the metallic taste of blood pooled.

I immediately spit out chunks of teeth, onto the mans feet.

I looked at him, and his face gave a look of amusement and disgust.

Immediately following, his foot collided with my stomach.

Gasping, I healed over, bile arising and exiting from my mouth, mixed with the cherry color of blood.

Around me, gasps rose in the air.

My vision blurred.

This man was good.

I found myself laughing.

"What's funny about this?" The masked man questioned, leaning over.

My hands tangled around the cuffs, still firmly behind my backside.

"Oh nothing. Just ironic, some sick fuck shows up here." I breath.

"Irony, Destry? Or did your past finally catch up to you?" He smirks.

My past.

Suddenly everything came back to me in a second.

Everything.

"Don't." I hear pleading in my voice.

"What are they taking about?" Emelia, Asher, Ashlee, and Des say in unison.

I shake my head, feeling fuzzy.

The man grabbed my body, lifting me up harshly.

I gale into those yellow eyes, feeling nothing but complete and utter terror.

" Tell them Destry. Tell them all the secrets youve been keeping."

He tested, masking his amusement.

I shutter, and glance at them.

They were a bloody mess, due to me.

All of this was because of me.

They stared hack, anticipating an answere.

I looked back into the Topaz eyes.

"I'm a murderer."

He smirks.

"Oh that's giving nothing away silly goose. Go along, tell us more." He presses the small pistol to my temple.

I couldn't tell him.

No, they couldn't know. They will all die at my expense.

"Fuck you." And I spit into that man's gastily face.

His eyes flashed with anger.

"Have it your way."

"I'm so sorry De-"

The ringing shot through my brain, before the world dimmed.

Happy haunakah. Say goodbye to this book, its now over. I highly doubt it'll get much attention after I stop putting up more chapters. I noticed the only way I get reads is if I post a chapter. If I don't for a while, no one reads it. Anyways, I hope you guys have enjoyed this story up until now. :')
