When I open the door,a frail and thin figure turns around to face me and my breathing literally pauses when I see the person.
Her face is thin and smeared in dirt and blood. Her clothes are smeared in dirt and blood.
"You're okay!" I exclaim and before il ow it,she falls to the ground.
"Claire,Claire..open your eyes baby,wake up." I try to wake her up but she doesn't respond and it seems like the literal life has been drained out of her.
I carry her light body out of the dark room and when I get outside,Dylam has managed to take out more than half of Felix's men.
"He's..he's..he's.." Claire stutters and points behind me.
Before I can react,I feel something hard hit the back of my head.
"Shit!" I groan and place her delicate body on the floor.
"You couldn't just leave her huh? You couldn't just let her go huh? She's gonna be the death of you!" Josh shouts and points a pistol at me.
Claire's scream of terror are all that fills my ears as my blurry vision tries to make out the doubling blur infront of me.
"You son of a bitch!" I groan and throw a punch at him. He falls to the ground and I hear Dylan shout my name.
"We're out of ammo." He tells me.
What the fuck?
"Didn't you prepare enough?" I ask him while throwing a punch at Josh.
He also throws a punch at me and the two of us just fall to the ground in a fighting mess.
"Oh my God!" I hear Claire scream and the sight before me is ghastly.
"What the hell is going on?" I ask when all my brothers just fall to the ground.
They get back up and continue to fight.
"You're mine now." I hear one of the thugs say while pointing their gun at Dylan.
My hand moves faster than my brain and I shoot the bastard in the head.
He groans and falls off the balcony, straight to his demise.
°°°
Felix wakes up when he hears the sound of a shot.
He pulls his drawer and takes out a gun before walking downstairs.
"What are you going to do?" Zoey and Edelle ask at the same time.
Felix ignores them and runs outside while shooting everything in his sight.
His stray bullets hit most of his men but he couldn't care less.
"Get off my son!" He yells and punches Elron in the face.
The two of them go against eachother and because of the hit Elron had gotten to the head,he was disoriented and confused for a while.
"Get away from my wife!" He shouts and punches Felix.
Claire spots a gun and crawls toward it but before she can touch it, Zoey tugs at her in a strong grip and pulls her away from it.
"Why won't you die!" She asks and kicks Claire in her abdomen.
Claire cries in pain and crawls into a ball while shaking.
"You bitch!" Dylan shouts and with his little strength,shoots her three times in the chest,killing her immediately.
Elron pushes Felix aside and rushes towards Claire.
"Everything hurts.Help me.Please, everything hurts." She cries and buries her face in his shirt.
He carries her frail figure and hurriedly runs downstairs.
Edelle sees this and runs down the same flight of stairs with a pistol in her hand.
"Uh-uh. Not so fast. Drop her." She orders when she gets to where they are.
"Are you insane?" Elron asks her while still holding Claire protectively to his chest.
•••
"Are you insane?" I ask Edelle when she orders me to drop Claire.
I don't know what they did to her but her temperature keeps dropping by the minute and she's shivering.
"What did you do to her?" I ask her and she chuckles evilly.
"I won't say..but one wrong move and she-" She doesn't finish her sentence when two bullets dig their way into her skull.
Claire gasps and hides her face in my shirt again.
"Shh..don't worry,I'll get you out of here." I coax her and run out of the mansion.
"I was able to take out the guy but no sign of Felix." Dylan says and looks at Claire.
"Thanks for having my back man." He says and fist bumps me.
"That's what brothers do." I smile at him.
"What do we do now?" Chad asks and looks at the mansion with soany dark secrets.
"Burn the place down. I want no trace of this evening to follow us." I tell them before walking towards one of the cars we brought.
"I can't breathe." Claire tells me before falling unconscious.
