Fight for your life//Ch18

Matt's P.O.V.

I searched the city for any sign of Amber's ex only to feel annoyed and defeated as I went back to Amber ready for her to be mad. When I got back to her apartment I felt uneasy. As I took a minute I couldn't find any heartbeats in her apartment making my concern grow. I made my way through in search for what happened until I hear footsteps approaching her front door. I hid in her room ready to fight when a familiar voice rang out. It was Sarah I remember her from earlier and she had seen me in the hallway in my suit. I listened closely only to hear she was alone. I called out to her asking as I slowly made my way out from hiding. 

She seemed shocked and then angry. She questioned me on where I was when Amber ran to their neighbor panicked to drop off Milly and run. Panic ripped through my body as I questioned her if Amber has gotten into contact with her. Sarah mumbled out a no asking if I had any idea what might have happened. Without thinking I blurted out her ex's name half mentioning he had been stalking and harassing her. I slipped out the knife and envelope that was pinned in the door. She says she would check it out officially but she asked me to unofficially try and find her. I told her that I would keep her in contact before I ran and made my way to my apartment in hopes she was safe there. 

I made my way in slowly being carful to pay attention to every little sound. There was no one there but I could tell that something was wrong and that something had happened. I made my way around canvasing everything. Only to find a picture on my table. Anger grew as I realized that she was taken. I quickly sent Sarah a picture of what I was left only to receive a call minutes after it was sent. 

Sarah was instantly panicked she mentioned that she had no jurisdiction and she couldn't do anything until there was evidence and a warrant. I told her I understood but asked her to keep her co workers off my tail the best she could for the next few hours so I could do my best. Sarah said she would give me until she hopefully got a warrant.

I made my way to Cort Corp. as fast as I could and was ready to start a fight.

Amber's P.O.V.

When I had first woken up I was tied to a table and being cut open and examined. As I screamed no one seemed even fazed by my pains and cries. When they where done for me they threw me in a concreate cell and chained me to the floor with a power suppressing collar and cuffs. I stared at the floor mindlessly listening to the guards as they talked outside. I was naked and exposed to the cold making me shiver as my only protection was my own dried blood from wherever they choose to poke and prod. 

I refused to let myself cry in this cell despite me being alone. They were going to break every piece of will I had left and I would just have to wait until I died. 

My head shot up at a loud bang. A large evil smile began to grow on my face as scared screams echoed through the halls. An odd sense of karma rang through the air. As the alarm went off I cringed away into the farthest corner I could and covered my ears. 

the noises only seemed to get louder as time ticked by until a banging at the door made me look up only to regret it as I saw Stephan, his boss, several guards, and.... Nicolas? 

My roommate was here and it seemed to be of his own free will. My voice as I called out his name. He sneered at me with a look that read pure hate. As the door opened and he walked closer a smile of satisfaction grew on his face as he purposefully stepped on my chain dragging me down to the floor. 

"You know I actually liked you at first I thought you where sweet and adoring until you left my brother for dead at his old lab he told me what you did to him and what you stole from him so when he asked for my help to track you down I jumped at the opportunity only to be surprised when you fell right into my lap as my new roommate..." he stopped and laughed before his face fell serious "You only sealed you're fate when you stole my obsessions gaze... the devil of Hell's kitchen will be mine even if I have to make him see me through you're destruction" As spoke he unlocked my chain from the floor giving it to his brother as if i was a dog. 

The commotion from before seemed to grow closer once more. I prayed for Matt to appear but was dragged out of the cell and down several flights of stairs where my feet where cut up by stones and glass but I stayed strong until I was dragged to the floor. Looking up 
I was in a glass box at the center of a large room a light was shinning on me and it made it hard to truly see what was around me. 

A loud crash was heard coming from one of the room. I squinted my eyes as a figure walked closer to the box. I cried as Matt's devil mask appeared I banged on the glass making him run close to the box. He placed his hand on the glass and seemed to be looking for someway to help. I screamed as a dart lodged next to him in the thick glass. He had moved in time to get away from their capture attempt.

I watched as guards began to flood into the room. I fought the collar around my neck not caring as I bleed almost encouraging it as I slowly realized the collar could only control the ink if it was in my body. The ink was able to seep into the cracked glass from the dart slowly it cracked receiving the attention of many of the guards who trained their guns on my  while many still fought Matt. 

I smiled a large wicked smile as I caught the eye of my ex trying to escape with his boss only for her to close and lock the door on him and Nick. I softly mouthed "You're mine."

The joy I felt as I watched his face turn to horror as the glass broke cutting into my skin creating my suit of ink as my collar fell from my neck. The guards stared in horror at the transformation some of them trying to flee. I built a wall of ink as the guards began to shoot and pushed it over crushing some of them under the heavy barrier. I smiled as Matt appeared next to me questioning if I'm ok as we fought off some guards. 

I made a snarky remark about needing therapy before shoving some guy into a wall. I heard him chuckle seeming to be happy that I can still joke around. I shoved him out of the way as some guy tried to attack him wrapping an inky tendril around his ankle and breaking it effortlessly. I made my way over to my ex and his brother blocking them in an inky cage. As I reached them ready to unleash torture that would make him beg for mercy only to have Matt stop me. He simply said to hurt them not kill them while he went after the boss. 

I laughed at the wat Matt seemed unfazed as he kissed my cheek and ran off leaving me with a wild smirk. I decided to be kind though not for their sake but for mine. I left them in that cage giving them chains like what they gave me but made a slight effort to make it as uncomfortable as possible for them. 

Before following after Matt only to see Stephans boss tied up and him on the phone with someone giving them the ok to come in. I looked at him confused before he simply said one word "Sarah" I smiled and nodded as we made our escape .
