Phoenix's Revenge

32.

Phoenix POV

I sprint towards the control panel and shut it off. I grab Gonzo by his shirt.

"Where the fuck are the keys to the cell." I scream in his face.

No answer.

I slam his head so hard to the ground that it bounces off.

"Where?!" I scream as I start landing heavy blows to his face.

He finally pulls them out and hands them to me. I run towards Nikolai's cell and unlock it.

"Hey baby. You still with me?"

His head lifts up and his mismatched eyes look to mine.

"Always." He croaks out. I help him get out of his restraints and then head to Tommy.

"Tommy? You there bud?" He nods and groans as I unlatch him. His eyes start to shut but I grab his face.

"Uh uh, Tommy. Open those eyes, you're not allowed to leave us."

His eyes snap open and meet mine. He slowly gets up.

"Atta boy."

The gunshots in the room stop for a second as a scream pierces through the chaos.

I know that voice.

I turn and see my worst nightmares come to fruition. My mom kneels over my dad.

"No! Cannon, please love. Wake up. Don't leave me. Don't you leave me too." She pleads desperately. Blood covers her hands as it pours from my dads chest. Tears fill my eyes as rage fills my heart. I get tunnel vision and I can only see two things. Gonzos and Mr. Petrovs heads at my feet.

I whip out my machete and head straight for them. I reach Mr. Petrov first my boot connects with his chest as he falls on his back. Before he can react I'm on top of him. My fists land fast and hard as I unleash my fury on his body. I hold his neck with one hand as I punch him relentlessly. Blood spurts up onto my face but I continue. A scream rips from my throat as I continue.

A hand on my shoulder rips me from my stupor and I look up with wild eyes. Calen stands over me, his eyes filled with tears.

"Go to them. They need you."

They?

No.

No no no.

I walk towards my dad as I hand the machete to Nikolai.

"It's your kill." I whisper.

I head to my dad but am stopped dead in my tracks as I look to my left. My mom sits slumped against the wall with Gonzo standing over her.

"Should've listened." He says. The barrel of his gun pressed to her skull as she turns to me.

"It's okay. I love you. Raise hell for me, yeah?"

The words slip from her mouth as easily as butter. Like it's been rehearsed.

Like she's heard it before.

And just like that, I'm orphaned in a matter of minutes. Her head snaps back towards the wall as she's killed without another thought. My whole body shakes as I sprint towards a laughing Gonzo.

I reach for my dagger and whip it out.

"Oh, please. You don't have the gall little g-"

Before he can even finish I plunge the dagger deep into his heart and twist.

"See you in hell, asshole."

I look in his eyes as the life drains from them.

I fucking love every minute of it.

He drops like the sack of shit he is and I drop to my mom. I cradle her head in my hands as I feel the need to cry, but no tears fall. I stare at her and all I feel is rage. I cross the room to my father and press my head to his.

"I love you." I whisper. Again, no tears fall. I go completely numb as I stand in an almost robotic sense. I take in the room and see Tommy, Nikolai and Calen all stand over dead bodies.

"Let's go. They'll be more on the way." Calen says.

"Fuck it. Let them come."

The fire in my eyes meets Nikolai's as he nods. Guess we're both unhinged too.

"No. It's a suicide mission." Calen says.

"I don't care."

"I won't watch you die too. Now you can come with me, or I'll drag you out I swear to god." The fire in his eyes match mine and I fold. I won't let him lose me too.

We all file out the door and I take one last look at my parents lifeless bodies on the floor.

I'm so sorry.

IM SORRY YALL

HOW ARE YOU GUYS?
