HNS Takedown

Chapter 6

Back at school I spent my time crying, and trying to get my work done.

It took all my energy to concentrate on what I was doing and not on Miles (who sat at the table in front of me).

Ben still lived with me in the house, but he rarely ever spoke to me.

It had been weeks and nearly a month since Miles left but it still killed me more everyday.

I was in maths one day and Ben walked over and sat next to me, "are you going to talk to him!?" he asked "how can I?" I replied "he doesn't want to talk to me, he won't even answer my texts or calls", "well maybe, because he wants you to talk to him in person" Ben said, "I am just going to-" I couldn't finish my sentence, biting down on my lip I picked up my bag, left the classroom and sat on a chair outside the space, my head in my hands.

That night after a normal day at school, and by normal I mean, me crying at breaks, and not talking apart from when I answered the roll, I got a call from Maria, "Hey Maria" I said, "look Celine ," she started "I know you're dealing with your own problems right now, but there are at least two HNS members located outside the Rolleston Library and they're armed", I sighed "yup I've got it" I said "thanks Celine " she replied before ending the call.

I went to my room and put on my black clothes used for 'assassination' and took a gun and knife, then I left the house.

I got in my car and drove down towards the library, parking my car in the New World car park and walking the rest of the way.

I could hear familiar voices coming from around the back of the library.

I pulled out a knife and slowly peered around the corner to see the two HNS members Maria was talking about, they had Ben and Miles (who were struggling) pinned to the wall.

"Well? Where is she!" one of them demanded pressing the throat harder against Miles's throat, "I won't tell you!" Miles snarled, "cut him" said the other one, I jumped out and kicked at them.

They ran at me, with their knives, leaving Ben to help a bleeding Miles.

I fought them off, using my knife and killing them both in the end, they lay motionless on the ground surrounded by a pool of blood.

I didn't hesitate to run towards Miles, he was gasping, a dagger wound was visible on the side of his hip.

I was mouthing off and taking off my black jacket to wrap around the wound.

"We need to get him to the training centre, now" I said to Ben, he nodded and helped Miles up.

"Stay here, I'm going to get the car."

When I returned, Ben placed Miles in the passenger seat and jumped into the back.

"Go!" He demanded, "hang on," I replied.

I sped down the street, turning the corners sharply, as Miles desperately tried to stop the bleeding that was escaping his wound.

I parked outside the training centre and got out of the car and walked towards the door and opened it. There stood Maria. She looked shocked to see me, I was covered in blood and trying to help Ben get Miles inside, "Celine ! What happened!?" she cried, "why are you covered in blood?"I looked at her.

"It's not mine" I replied "It's his" I said pointing at Miles, "we need to get to the infirmary" I said.

"Right this way" she said, gesturing for us to follow her.

We urgently followed her and when we reached the infirmary, Ben lay Miles down on one of the beds.

Ben looked at me as if to say 'do something'.

I didn't hesitate.

I stood beside his bed unwrapping my now bloody jacket from around his waist and lifting up his blue gamer shirt, to reveal an ugly knife wound.

"I need tweezers" I whispered to Maria, who handed them to me.

"This might hurt, okay" I said to him "but I need you to trust me".

He didn't say anything, but winced as I stuck the tweezers into his wound and removed a long piece of blade.

"Ow, shit" he said, screwing his face up, "I'm sorry, just hang in there" I replied. Picking up a needle and stitching thread, I started to stitch up the wound, he cried out in pain with every stitch and I felt tears spill down my face, I hated seeing him in pain.

After 10 minutes I reassured him it was all over and continued to plaster up what was left of the scar.

I finally looked at him, his skin was pale, his eyes were wide and pain was etched in his face.

He stared back at me and right there and then I broke down.

Maria pulled me into a hug as I cried and rubbed my back, "shhhh shhh" she said "It's alright.

"I need to leave" I said, "take the car and I'll see you at home" I said handing Ben the keys and running out of the training centre, without looking back.
