Not Dead Yet

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟒: 𝐊𝐨𝐲𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬

The next day I would be woken up by a gun pushing my shoulder. The sun hadn't risen yet as I could see that the sky was orange.

"Wake up kid." A man said, wearing a mask that covered everything besides his eyes and mouth.

I looked around and noticed everyone was sitting with their backs against the walls, being held at gunpoint by the man.

"Get up and join your parents, kid." He motioned his gun over to them.

I got off of the couch and walked over to Patrick and Melissa, sitting in between them.

"Now, all of you fuckers are awake. I wanna know who's bright idea it was to steal from me." He waved the gun around, revealing a mark on his wrist.

I looked towards Patrick and he didn't pull his eyes off of the man, everyone else was looking back and forth between each other.

"I swear to god if no one says anything I will kill one of you until there are none left!" He started to get angry. "You stole from me, I think that deserves some punishment."

The man walked over to Patrick, looking down at Patrick.

"You must be their leader." He said sternly, looking down before he hit Patrick with the butt of the assault rifle he was carrying.

Melissa reached over to help Patrick after he fell to the ground. The man carrying the gun quickly pointed it at Melissa, telling her to stay where she was.

"When we came here the box was already emptied out." Robb said, trying to seem confident in his answer, hoping that the man hadn't returned to his place regularly.

"You're funny, man." He turned his attention towards Robb, pulling the gun away from Melissa and towards Robb.

Melissa took advantage of this and disarmed the man, then Patrick came up and tackled the man to the ground.

"Fuck you! Give me my shit back you assholes!" He yelled out as he tried to squirm out of Patrick's grip.

"Let's just leave him alone and move on." Tonya said, getting up and checking on me.

"Who knows, he might just come after us. For all we know, he's from within those walls and will kill Y/N since they have no respect for kids and they probably don't have respect for women either." Aria said with her arms crossed as she looked up from the man over to the rest of us.

"She's not wrong." Robb added.

"What do you wanna do Patrick?" Melissa asked.

"I agree with Aria. He could tell his people we're here and they could go looking for us. That would put the group at risk." Patrick said, still pinning the man down.

"What happens when they come to find his dead body then?" Tonya asked.

"What would happen if we let him go, just later. They probably don't have too much care for this guy. His death could go unnoticed for a few hours, maybe even days." Aria stated in a stern tone.

None of us have ever heard her speak like this, she was usually happy and positive. But ever since that man hurt her, she's been cold and cruel. Can't say I blame her though, she has a right to be.

"Fuck you bitch! My friends are on their way now!" The man blurted out.

"I don't see anyone coming towards us." Robb said, looking out the few windows that faced the wall.

"Good job getting in his head, Aria." Melissa said, smiling at her.

"Wasn't hard. He's just a little bitch who couldn't even keep his supplies locked away from a 10 year old." She said slightly smiling at Melissa as she acknowledged her approval.
