Bruise Me Twice (Twice #3)

Chapter 23

                                                                                       Brooklyn 

 "Mother you're not going to say something" I turned to my mother, she just gave me a cold glare "You were a mother, you wouldn't want your unborn child gone before you even got a chance to see them, or do you have no heart" I asked

"Get rid of it" She said with venom in her voice as she turned away from me

I heard the roar of a car speeding up to where we were and screeching at a halt.

I already knew who it was, I wanted to tell him to leave me and live his life, he was stepping into a trap. James grabbed me, pointing a gun at my head. My pulse quickened as he stepped out of the car, bursting with anger at the sight of me being held at gunpoint.

"Let her go if you value your fucking life" Vaughn said with a deadly tone

James did something he shouldn't have, he awakened the demon that hid under his exterior. I've seen him mad, but he wasn't mad.

He was furious.

He wasn't a man.

He was a demon now.

"Mind your own business Medina" Ryan said, keeping the borderline between my family and the multiple guards and Vaughn.

"You don't have a chance with us, I have 30 men against one" James said proudly

"Make that 25 now" He growled as he shot 5 of dad's men within a second, all in a row

"Last chance, hand her over and I won't put a bullet in between your eyes" Vaughn threatened

"You can try" Ryan snorted

"Don't underestimate me"

Another car stopped by Vaughn's, Blake stepped out alone. They were all alone, I suspected something would happen, they would never come here alone.

"Another move and Brooklyn would have the same fate as Marlene, too bad this time it would hurt a bit more" James said with a smile as he pressed the gun to my throat.

"I don't think that would be necessary" Another woman said, coming from Blake's car. She looked just like my mother, I felt as if I've seen her

"Jolene" My mother gasped

"You thought you could take my daughter away and try to kill me, think again sister" The woman named Jolene snapped

"You went to his side" James spat

"Because you were wrong, you took away my child and kept her away from me because you promised to give your first daughter to marry Smith, you attempted to kill family for a deal" Jolene said coolly

"I-I'm done" My mother said, waving her arms in surrender "Brooklyn doesn't deserve this, she's free to decide her own life"

She went past the line that separated the 2 sides as she kept walking. The grip on me was gone, I ran to the guards that were dead beside me and picked up a gun they dropped. I heard a gunshot from behind me as my mother fell to the floor with James holding his gun. At that moment, I knew Vaughn's plan all along.

Vaughn's men easily outnumbered James' army. It only took seconds for all of them to end up on the floor. Jolene ran towards me, ignoring the border as she pulled me into her arms.

"I'll explain later, all I can tell you now is I'm on your side" She whispered as she shot one of James' men that came towards us

"You're my mother" I realized

We didn't have time to talk, it all clicked. She was the woman who I saw when I was younger, who James shot when she asked to see me. She didn't die then.

Before I had any time to think, I felt a pair of hands trap me. Jolene was already knocked out and being carried into the jet as I was being dragged to the jet as well. My first option was to scream and try to wiggle out yet that plan was scratched out as a hand closed over my mouth. I bit down as hard as possible as he took his hand out, cursing in pain. I took the split second I had to attempt to break free. Just when I thought I could run away I felt a bang and a sharp blow on my head.

I could hear the distant gunshots as I opened my eyes to find I was being carried to the jet. I was already up the steps and into the jet when I heard bullets bouncing from the metal of the jet, being shot by Vaughn as the door closed. I banged against the door, as i felt his gunshots against the jet as they started the jet. I screamed out for him, hoping he'd hear me. But he couldn't come now, he tried. Was this our goodbye?

OK im not that cruel ok, and hey plotwist: tris ded and my brain is dust
