"It's nice to see you Elisia" his voice echoed down the alley and bounced off the concrete walls. He had the same black eye patch on his left eye.

I pointed my gun at them and Olivia still had hers raised at me. Aldrik looked at the gun in my hands and then he scanned my face and then my body before his gaze dropped to the ground for a second.

I could see a flicker of disappointment when his eyes dropped, but it quickly faded off when he looked at me again. He studied me with a curious gaze and then it turned into anger.

Anger because he didn't see any fear in me.

Anger because fear was the only thing he fed off of. It was something that gave him control and I wasn't giving it to him. I had feared him for a long time, but now I wanted to show him that I learned that fear generates from both sides and I was capable of making him feel it.

"Are you ready to come back home?" He asked.

Home?

I've never had the feeling of home before. The only home I knew was in my mothers arms and he took her away from me. The gun tightened in my hand and I clutched my dress in my other, trying to control my anger.

"Home? And where do you suppose that is?" I snapped.

He scoffed, shaking his head lightly "you shouldn't talk to me like that" he warned putting his hands in his pockets. I watched every move he took. Every time he shifted a different way or the way his gaze occasionally drifted to the door behind me.

"Or what? Are you gonna beat me? Because there isn't anyone else for you to kill in my life" I said. Even though there was. There were so many other people he could take from me, but I wouldn't let him.

"Are you sure? What about Julian?" And as the name rolled off his tongue I pulled the trigger of my gun and shot him in his left arm. At the same time I knocked the gun out of Olivia's hands while she was distracted with the sudden bullet sound. The back door opened right as Aldrik started cursing in Russian and clutching his arm in pain.

He didn't try to attack me nor did he try to tell Olivia to do anything either.

I glanced at the door and saw the boys coming out from the hotel. The only people that weren't with them were Christan, Julian and Adrian. I tried not to worry and instead focused my attention on Olivia and Aldrik again.

Olivia tried to reach for her gun on the floor, which was a dumb fucking move because I kneed her in her face as she bent down. Then I kicked the gun over to the boys and grabbed Olivia by her hair with my other hand.

I hosted her up to her feet and dragged her by my side "you let her go right fucking now Elisia!" Aldrik yelled. Always fucking protective over his pet.

"Why'd you kill Alex?" I asked. Olivia groaned when I pulled on her hair.

His ugly laugh rang out through the alley and I fucking hated the sound so I put a bullet in Olivia's leg. Her scream drowned out his laugh and I threw her to the ground. The look on Aldrik's face was new. One I haven't seen before. Worried maybe.
