A Beautiful Lie - Continued (Original by wingernightz)

As soon as I walk out the room.
I closed the door slowly and gently.

I turned around after closing the door and looked both ways.

I took a step and my heel made a noise.

Fuck I need to take them off to do this shit.

I took them off and carried them while I walked barefoot.
Made less noise than the heels.

I finally got to the office door.

7:27am.

It'll be okay. Just say yes and they'll do the rest.

I took a deep breath and put my hand on the handle.

WAIT!
I gotta put my heels back on.
I put them on and looked at the clock.

7:29am.

FUCK!

I opened the door quickly and got in the room before Roman saw me.
I closed the door behind me and the smell of cologne filled the room.
I saw a man in the shadow.

"What's your name?" I say.
"Gustav." The man Said. Real or fake?
"What's mine?" I say.
"Taylor." He said, real.
I sighed and put my hand over my chest.
"Taylor, please come with us. You can't live here no more." He said calmly putting his hand on my shoulder.
"Fine. I only doing this for Tom." I say trying to act worried. But really I'm excited!
"Okay. So you will be apart of our plan." He said giving me a paper of information to do to get me out.
"Follow these rules tonight. Don't fail us." He said giving me a worried look.
"I won't. I promise." Fuck promises, if they hurt Penelope or Ember, I'm fucking this plan up.
I nodded to him and left the office quickly and ran to my bedroom.

I sat on the bed and read the paper.
'1- Go to room 4, don't go to room 7. Make sure Lucy isn't with you nor is she watching you.'
Room 4? For what?
'2- look for a hidden key'
'3- once you find it, leave the room quickly and go to the locker room.'
'4- look for a safe and unlock it.'
'5- after you unlock it, grab the gun and pocket knife. You'll need it for the rest of the plan.'

That's it?
I don't even know how to use a gun.
I looked at the clock, 7:53am.

I sighed and went in the bathroom.

I shredded the paper in pieces and threw it in the trash.

I finished my full face of makeup and straighten my hair.
I forgot I cut myself some bangs.
I styled my bangs and fixed my hair a bit by cutting it from the bottom.

I smiled at the mirror at my new look and left the bathroom.
It's still the morning.
I start this whole problem shit till 7pm.
Might as well just find Penelope and Ember and try to learn how to shoot or fight back?

I left the room and went in Ember's bedroom.
"Wow, so your just gonna go in my room without knocking?" Ember joked.
"I'm your friend, so that means I can go in your room without knocking girly." I also joked as I sat on her bed, while I watch her change her heels.
"Omg. Can you not?" She said.
"What?" I say confused.
"Watch me put on heels." She said giving me a smile.
"I'm sorry but like, you literally have a pile of heels around us and you can't choose one?" I say.
"Wait, are those mine?" I say pointing at the missing pair I had since I was with Tokio Hotel.
"Oh These Are yours? Roman just gave them to me 7 or 8 months ago?" She said.
"7 or 8 months ago, I thought I died. Nope I was in a coma and Yk the hospital taking your heels and stuff? Yeah those are definitely mine." I say still pointing at them, remembering the memories before my coma.
"Oh do you want them back?" She suggested.
"No keep them, they bring back memories I don't wanna remember." I say wanting to cry.
"Okay?" She say still struggling to put on some heels.

I looked at the clock,
8:01am.

I lay on her bed and close my eyes.
I hear some chain noises, thinking it's Ember still trying to put on her heels.
I tried to move my hand, I hear another chain noise while trying to move my hand.
I'm chained up?

I open my eyes to see I'm in Roman room.

Fuck I'm in a memory.

I see Roman putting his fingers up my skirt.

I move my legs.

Their not chained up?

I kicked him and he fell onto a book shelf.

(Keep moving. I put you in this memory for you to learn that you are capable to do anything.)

Ria. I hate you for this, but thanks alot.

I got up and screamed.
I looked at my wrist, it's gushing blood by the cutting of the chain.
I sucked it up and got my hand out.
I jumped off the bed, grabbed the key and unchained My wirst free.
"Your a Bad Girl, Crimson." Roman said getting up.
I punched him and ran out the room.
I'm in the void again.

"You did it! I'm happy for you Taylor." I turned around to see Ria happy.
I nodded and woke back up.

"Finally you woke up." Penelope said sitting next to me.

I looked at the clock,
8:21am.

I've been out for a while.

I stood up and felt dizzy.

"Hey, are you okay?" Penelope said putting her warm hand on my shoulder.
"Yeah." I put my hand over my eyes.
"Alright." She gave me a warm smile

I looked at Ember while she looked at herself in the mirror.

"I got a question for both of you." I said as she looked at me with a confused look.
"Can you teach me how to fight or use a gun?" I say hoping they don't decline.
Ember looked at Penelope, Penelope chuckled.
"Of course!" Penelope said proudly.
"Thanks Penny, and Thanks Liv." I thanked them.
Ember was surprised.
"How do you know what Daisy named us?" Penny said.
"Well, Penny sounds the same as Penelope, and Liv fits you Ember!"
Penny smiled as tears formed in her eyes. Then she hugged me tight.
"Your just like Daisy." Ember said as tears roll down her face, forming snakes.
A smile planted on my face.

I looked at the clock,
8:27am.

"How about I start now?" I said cupping Penny's face in my hands.
Wiping her tears away.

"Sure!" Ember said grabbing a gun out her drawer.
"Do you always keep it there?" I asked.
"No, I always change the hiding spot." She joked at me.
"Whatever you say." I said standing up and grabbing the gun away from her.

I'm not ready for this big fight.

*Tom's POV*

"A gun?" I mumbled, "A FUCKING GUN!?" I looked at Georg, Gustav, and Bill.
"She can barely use one!" I yelled, Knowing Taylor can't use a gun.
"She can do it!" Bill yelled back standing up.
"How?! HOW!" I yelled back punching the wall making a hole.
"Tom. Your worried. Your too worried for her." Bill said trying to puzzle it all, while trying to calm me down.
"We are stuck in a abandoned house. While Taylor is not safe in Roman's mansion." I said pointing to nothing.
I kept yelling making Bill step back.

"This ends tonight. We got this all planned." I say walking up to the door way.
"Anyone fucks it up, they die." I growled.
I looked at their scared faces and walked away.

I just wanna save Taylor.
