Chapter 6
(Luke's POV)

We had reached the hideout in about five minutes after the run-in with Vincent. Karlie got a pretty bad injury from the run-in,a bullet wound through her arm. It was so bad,that I even felt the pain. I'm pretty sure she's passed out from looking at it or loss of blood. Either way,it still looks gruesome.

We all unloaded the van and went inside the hideout. I was carrying the unconcious Karlie the whole time.

"You guys get Faith settled in,I'm gonna go patch Karlie up." I said.

"What if we don't want to?" Calum said. Faith was sitting on the couch anxiously.

"Uh...speak for yourself dude. She's hot." Michael said,smirking as Faith blushed.

"Dude,you have a girlfriend." Ashton said,opening the fridge and pulling out a bottle of beer.

"Who cares?" Michael replied.

"Ok...well I don't care if you don't want to,you're going to. So do it." I said,before climbing up the stairs,taking Karlie to my room. I kicked the door open. My room was pretty messy,but still fair enough to live in. I set Karlie down on the bed and got the first aid kit from the bathroom. I came back out to see that Karlie was slightly awake.

"Luke?" She asked softly,as I nodded in response. I opened the kit and took out the disenfectant spray and uncapped it.

"I'm warning you,this will hurt alot." I said. She nodded in acknowledgement. I started to spray her wound and she winced loudly in pain, followed by a soft mutter of the word "motherfucker". I actually felt bad for doing it,but it would feel a lot better afterwards.

I took the bandage and wrapped up her arm. After I finished,she quietly muttered a "Thank you."

"No problem." I replied,putting away the first aid kit. I came back into the room and saw her staring into space,as if she was in deep thought.

"What ya thinking about?" I asked,sitting next to her.

"What happened earlier. It was so....exciting."

"Yeah,that happens alot,trust me."

"Is Vincent really that persistent?"

"It's not only Vincent,there are other gangs after us too. I don't know what they want though,seeing as we have nothing to offer at the moment."

"Oh." She replied.

"So...tell me about yourself." I said,suddenly interested in her. She looked at me strangely.

"I thought you hated me."

"I did earlier,but you don't seem as crabby as you did earlier. So,tell me about yourself Karlie."

"Alright, well, um...I was an only child. My parents and brother were murdered two years ago by someone. I was locked in my room and I smelled smoke. When I finally broke free and ran downstairs, I saw them, stab wounds all over their bodies, their cold lifeless eyes all staring. I screamed and cried next to their bodies and was taken away, but Faith's family thankfully took me in. She's been my best friend since pre-school. I have nightmares about the incident every night. Especially since I didn't end on a good note with my parents. I argued with them because they wouldn't let me go to a stupid party. Daughter of the year award definitely goes to me." She paused, shook her head a bit as she laughed softly. I could see a tear roll down her cheek. She sighed before continuing. "I've been living with Faith for the past two years. I swore to myself that I'd get revenge on whoever murdered them. I don't know how I'll do it, but I want to at least try and find out who murdered them and let them really have it, you know?"

"I'm really sorry to hear that, Karlie. What were the names of your family members?"

"Kaitlyn was my mother's name. Joseph was my dad's name, and my older brother's name was Theo." She replied. I froze in my spot. I killed a family with those names two years ago. They were in debt to my Boss. Kaitlyn, Joseph and Theo Settles. I was actually only supposed to kill Kaitlyn and Joseph, but Theo was down there as well, and I couldn't just leave him alive when he witnessed his parents being murdered, so I stabbed him too. Ashton and Calum searched the house and found a girl upstairs, so they trapped her in her room. Michael thought that setting the house on fire was a nice touch, and I wasn't one to fight that idea, so we did so, and cleared it. She noticed that I was quiet,and looked up at me.

"You okay dude?" She asked. I nodded.

"Karlie,just out of curiousity,what's your last name?"

"Settles...why?"

"No reason." But there was a reason. It was them. I was the one that killed Karlie's parents.
