Second Guessing

Chapter 5

With a lot of effort, Vanoss somehow managed to make me go with him in his black Lamborghini to go to his place. I only said yes since our little argument was going nowhere...and his car looks really cool and I wanted to hop in. But I wanted to drive in my own car since it won't be a hassle for Vanoss to drop me off back home. Woah, where did that come from? Hm, must've came along when I agreed to be apart of Vanoss Crew.

"So what made you say yes?" Vanoss asked, starting the conversation.

"Well you kept asking and I thought saying yes it would shut you up. Guess I was wrong." I said bluntly.

He playfully put his hand to his heart." Ouch, that hurt." He said." But seriously, why did you agree?"

It was silent between us as I was thinking of answer. Why did I join? I asked myself.

"Honestly, I don't know." I finally spoke. Vanoss had a smug look on his face, probably not believing a word I just said.

"There's always a reason behind everything."

"And that is my reason." I retorted. Vanoss turned left and I soon recognised the area we were in.

Vinewood Hills.

This place seems a bit too luxurious and public for an oddly dressed gang. Now I know they have a lot of money since Vinewood Hills is the most expensive place to live. And my family were one of those people who lived here.

I let out a breath I never knew I was holding when we went the opposite direction from where I used to live. Vanoss noticed and look at me for a second before his eyes went back onto the road.

"What was that about?" He asked. I knew he was going to ask about that. I shrugged and stared out the window. I really didn't want to tell him and I don't intend to anytime soon.

"Nice car." I said, completely changing the subject." When did you get it?"

"Last year." He simply said." Are you gonna answer my question from before?"

"No." He was taken aback by the harshness in my tone. Maybe I was being too hard on him.

It was silent once again between the two of us. He turned into Whispymound Drive and kept driving until he turned into a small driveway. The driveway led to a mansion that was in a secluded area.

"I'm assuming you like the place." Vanoss said and gestured to my mouth. It was then I realised my jaw dropped and I quickly closed it. We both hopped out the car, Vanoss leading the way towards the front door.

"This place is huge." I said, looking at the outside of the house in awe.

"You haven't even seen the whole house yet." He said opened the door. I followed him into the living room where the whole gang was." Hey guys."

"Sup fucker!" The pig mask said and turned to face us." Hey looks, it's Carmen." He said and the rest of the crew looked towards Vanoss and I, well just me since all their eyes were on me. They must've known what Vanoss was up to.

"Yup and she's joining the gang." Vanoss announced and they all introduced themselves. Just like Vanoss, they all used code names. I think they were cool about me joining, I couldn't really tell since most of them were wearing masks. But it was obvious that Terroriser wasn't too happy about it.

"Hey Vanoss, can I talk to you for a sec?" Terroriser asked and walked towards him. Before Vanoss could say anything, he just dragged him out of the room. I'm pretty sure everyone but Vanoss noticed the glare he sent my way before leaving.

"Don't worry about him, he's always like that." Mini Ladd said. I turned my head to see that he was now standing in front of me." Want me to show you around the house?"

"Yeah sure."

"I'm coming!" I heard a kid's voice say. I then realised it was Lui who said it as he jogged towards us." Hey baby." He said, still using the kid's voice.

"Please don't call me that." I said as we started walking.

Terroriser dragged Vanoss to the furtherest room from the living room.

"Hey hey! You don't need to drag me." Vanoss said as he managed to get out the grip." What's wrong?" He asked Terroriser as he closed the door.

"I don't trust her." He said, cutting to the chase.

"You don't trust anyone we meet." Vanoss said and crossed his arms.

"Yeah but this one-"

"Is different, you say that all the time." Vanoss finished off.

"I'm serious. This girl seems...off." Terroriser explained." Have you guys done any research on her?" He opened his mouth say something but closed it when he thought about it.

" Now that I think about it, we barely found anything on Carmen. Just her name, age and birthdate. There was no recent activity or any activity matter of fact." Vanoss said." We'll keep an eye out on her."

"Aren't we gonna tell the others?" Terroriser asked as they were leaving.

" Let's just see what happens while she's here."

Carmen~

"In here is where all our weapons are." Mini Ladd said when we arrived on the second floor and opened the first door. I entered first followed by Lui then Mini. The room was quite big and all the weapons, which were a lot, were either hanging on the walls or on the tables neatly.

I couldn't help but cringe at the room. I knew what I was getting into when I joined Vanoss Crew. They're a gang that does whatever means necessary, which includes killing and torture. I have the skills for that sort of stuff but I don't think I can live with myself if I ever use it.

"C'mon let's go." Lui said and ran out. Mini and I followed suit and walked into the next room." And this is the training room." The room was an open space for combat and on the side were some melee weapons. Oh this is my favourite room.

"Guys wanna spar?" I asked and walked into the open space.

"I don't think you wanna go up against me, I'm the best." Mini Ladd bragged, which made Lui snicker.

"Then prove it." I said and took my jacket off, throwing it to the side.

"Ooh are you gonna take that Mini?" Lui said.

"Fine, let's go." Mini said and stood across from me.

We both got into fighting stances. Mini Ladd tried to throw a punch but I ducked and caught his arm. I twisted it behind his back, making him hiss in pain, and kicked his legs from behind. I was still clutching onto his arm as he fell to his knees. I kicked him in the back and his body now laid flat on the ground with my foot on his back, still clutching onto his twisted arm that was now stretched out.

"If you keep moving, you might snap your arm in half." I said as he was struggling to get up.

"Haha, that was the fastest match ever." Lui said and started laughing. I couldn't help but laugh too. I let go of his arm and helped him up.

"The best huh?" I asked Mini Ladd as we were all walking out of the training room. We were halfway up the stairs when I remembered I forgot my jacket.

"I'm just gonna go get my jacket." I said and walked back down while the boys continued walking. I walked in the training, quickly got my jacket then walked back out.

I stopped and looked down the hallway, wondering what was down there. My curiosity was getting the best of me as I was trying to suppress it. The more I look down the hallway, the more I want to see what's there. I started to walk down the hallway but after a few steps, I stopped. What if I get caught? It didn't really take me that long before I continued walking.

Oh well, I'll just find out if I get caught.
