If You're Fine, Then I'm Fine

Chapter Nineteen

Leanna's pov

I tell them everything. How I found them, what happened, why Omen hates me. Everything. I even told them that at some point I truly thought he was a new man and had become a better person, but no.

Tears flood my eyes, "I wish this never happened to me," I sniffle, "I would be so much happier,"

I love Akia, but I hate how we met.

"Oh baby," Cora says, hugging me tightly, "Next time tell us,"

I wipe my tear filled eyes, "He threatened to kill me if I told anyone,"

She sighs, "A manipulator, huh?"

"Yep," I sob, "I hate when people have that sort of power over me. It makes me feel so insignificant and small,"

I breathe for a moment. Let my thoughts stop. Kai and Cora just hug me in silence until one of us comes up with a plan.

Kai clears his throat, "So, what do we do?"

"Well, we need to get him in jail or something. That's all I know," I reply.

"Oh. My. God. Can we fight him! I need to use my powers more anyway," Cora laughs.

"Maybe, but this isn't something to mess around with. He has the ability to kill us all. So promise you will all be careful?"

They nod, "Promise," They say in unison.

I grin. Not the happy smile, the 'Please be careful, I am genuinely worried' smile.

I wiggle out of their arms, "Tell the others what is happening without me, I need to talk to Akia. I don't know how though, Omen is probably trapping her inside. Try to come up with a plan while I do that,"

"Okay, be safe," Cora says. Kai smiles at me as I climb down the ladder.

Shit shit shit. What the fuck do I do? How can such a small weak person capture such a big powerful one...

And I don't want to worry the town so I can't tell them yet. Ahh. Fuck.

"Akia?" I whisper through the sheet.

I get no response.

I move the fabric out of the way. She isn't there.

Huh?

I squeeze through as quiet as I could.

Nobody...

I walk out into the hallway. Maybe they left already. She is probably in danger.

I walk to the kitchen. Nobody, still...

I walk to Omen's room. Nobody.

I walk to the room I first met Akia. The room where I fell through the roof and landed on the floor. It is pitch black and completely silent.

"Hello? Where are you? I need to talk to you both," I say.

It echoes a few times.

The light flashes on. Akia is tied and passed out on the chair I was once tied to.

I rush over to her, "AKIA!" I shake her awake, "Oh my god, are you okay?"

Something feels off.

"Where is your d-"

"Hey there Leanna," Omen chuckles, "Come to say hello to your girlfriend?"

I turn in circles, unable to find him. His voice just echoes again. I look back at Akia, "Yes actually. Why is she tied up? That's a bit kinky. And incest-y... don't do that,"

"Oh stop it! I'm gonna blush," He laughs over me.

I feel cold hands dance across my neck. I hold my breath.

"You really need to have more friends. Bring a back up," He says, grasping slightly tighter at my neck.

"Please stop, you don't need to do this to me. I didn't do anything,"

He grabs me tighter. I choke, nearly faint.

"STOP IT DAD," Akia yells. She attempts to escape the chair, but her hands stay, "Let me out," She whimpers.

"Let her go, please," I say.

He stays holding me, "Why should I?"

"Because she is your daughter, an amazing person, and you shouldn't kill her too. Like your wife,"

He squeezes me tight for a split second, then drops me to the ground.

I gasp for air, I look at Akia. Tears are forming in her eyes as Omen walks towards her. I try to yell stop but he is too close to her, and I'm out of breath.

He unties her.

What the fuck is happening? I am so confused right now.

"Go. Go make an amazing plan with your so-called 'friends'," He laughs, shoving Akia out the chair, "I need an easy challenge anyway,"

"We will," I groan.

She runs to me, "Leanna, are you okay?"

I nod, "I'm fine. Let's go. I told the others everything,"

She looks slightly panicked but rushes us out side, via her bedroom window.

We run to the treehouse, holding hands. Not laughing and having fun this time.

Climb up the ladder, onto the top platform. You know the drill.

"Akia! Leanna!" Carlos screams, grabbing us and hugging us.

Akia looks at me, "How doe-"

"I told them everything, remember?"

She seems relieved.

"Are you ready for the fight?" Akina asks, "Cora and Kai came up with the plan,"

I jiggle out the hug, "Yep. Tell us what you wanna do,"

They tell me and Akia what we are doing. We even came up with back up plans for our back up plans. Every single thing was covered. Every way the fight could go, we were ready. Also scared. We also have an act we'll do if something goes wrong. An idea to stop the fight itself.

We grab some things, like our weapons, a first aid bag, some food and water. Just in case it goes for longer than intended.

The group climb down the ladder onto the ground. We do one of those cool superhero stances too.

We walk towards the mountain, climb over it, and to the other side. The pretty side. Where I was meant to go that night but ended up in his house... anyway.

I see Omen. He is waiting for us. Suited up and ready to fight. He looks so confident, but this fight is six to one. He should be scared, but we are instead. He has too much power over us. He shouldn't, but he does. I hate it. We should be more positive.

It is hard to be positive though when you know you have the possibility to die.
