Revenge Is Sweet

13 - Abience

✶𝙶𝚛𝚎𝚢✶

She's in the car, right outside and waiting for me. Impatiently, probably. She doesn't want to be here in the first place.

Fucking nineteen and twenty year olds sit on the ground before me, tied up in ropes and stuck to different support columns. They look up at me, completely at my mercy and afraid to so much as breathe wrong.

Peter's in a chair behind me, unable to run and just there to show them what I can do. He's still alive, of course. I couldn't kill him.

But he's beaten up, stabbed in his thigh, and marked up his arms. Something to remember me by.

I'm not going to kill them. Soph didn't want Peter to die, and I can tell she doesn't want the others dead. So I won't.

I'm just going to scare them.

"What do you want?" Adrian has the balls to ask. I smile, but they can't see from my mask. They're going to be left alive, so I still have to wear this.

"Sophia Shaw."

That's all I have to say to earn a whimper from the crybaby, a deep sigh from the cat, a grimace from the one who's still after crybaby over there, and a shake of the head from the one with the guts to ask me what I'm doing here.

I nod and begin to pace around, careful to glance Peter's way every now and then. He's the worst of them all. "This is about her. That innocent girl you left stranded in the woods." I clarify.

Kat scoffs quietly. "Oh, please." She whispers, looking away from me.

I raise a brow and start to come closer to her. She tenses when I drop down to my haunches right in front of her.

Adrian starts to squirm like he's going to do something about me simply kneeling in front of his girlfriend.

Without looking in his direction, I raise the gun and point it to him. He stops real quick. "Got something to say?" I coax, nodding to Kat who now cowers in front of me.

She shakes her head quickly, apparently she didn't think I could hear her. "No."

"I think you to." I argue, tilting my head. "What is it? What's wrong with Sophia Shaw?"

Kat looks everywhere but at me. "She...I mean, she wasn't innocent." She whispers.

Wasn't. They think she's dead.

"What do you mean?" I inquire on a hum. "How?" I push. Her eyes flick over to Adrian's. I look over at Adrian in response. "You know what she means?" I ask, lifting myself up off the ground to come over to Adrian.

He glares up at me, I tilt my head at him and wait for whatever he's gotta say. "She's a liar and bitchy." Adrian grunts out.

"Yeah? What else?" I egg him on, smiling to myself and lowering back down onto the ground to be closer. He's going to dig himself in a hole.

His jaw ticks. "She's not innocent." He agrees with Kat.

"Leave her alone." Amy cuts in, sending a surprisingly mean glare Adrian's way.
