This guy Dredd told me his name but he still wasn't keeping his side of the deal.
"Tell me where my friends are." I said becoming a little more angry than before. He just smirked standing up to stand behind me. He placed his hands on my shoulder massaging slightly before he squeezed causing me to wiggle out of his grip. He laughed at me.
"Your friends are safe but they won't be if you don't co-operate." He said as he sat down again as he pulled out a pocket knife. He brought it close to my hand as I tightened my grip. "Don't worry I need you alive. I won't hurt you." He said as he grabbed my hand before cutting the ropes tied around my wrist. He than did the same to the other hand. I went to go punch him but he punched me right where my cut was causing me to tear up and wince in my pain.
"What do you want from me?" I asked as I blinked some tears falling down my cheeks.
"Aweeh your crying. How adorable." He said smiling sweetly before he wiped my tears away with his thumb. I moved my head trying to get answers from him.
"What do you want from me? Why am I alone?" I asked hopefully he would answer me. He sat down on the chair placing his hands on my knees as he leaned forward.
"I want you to join my little group. I could obviously see from my window on the top floor when we seen you coming that you were the leader." He said as he pretended to do a little spider up my leg. I wiggled trying to get his hand of me. I swung my fist connecting with his jaw. He instantly pinned my wrists down on the chair arm. "Feisty, I like that in a leader." He said as he smirked. "Garrett?" He called out as some guy outside came walking into the room looking at me and than at Dredd. "I need you to do something for me." Dredd said smirking before walking over to the guy at the door handing him the pocket knife and whispering something in his ear. He nodded his was walking out. Dredd grabbed this remote out of his pocket turning on some sort of TV that showed my friends in a room. I began to wiggle more. "Oh so your angry now? Good. Now which one shall I get him to kill." My eyes went wide as he pointed at the screen. "This brown haired girl, maybe the blonde girl. Or maybe the man." He said trying to get a reaction out of me. Once he said man I knew he meant Mr. Harrison. I snapped my head up wiggling more. He can't hurt them. "Oh so the man has got your heart." He said smiling. "How sweet. Kill the man." He said into a little microphone. I watched as this guy walked over to Mr. Harrison grabbing him by the head placing the knife by his neck.
"I'll join! I'll join!" I cried out as Dredd smiled an evil smile.
"Excellent. Stop. Don't kill him. We got what we want." He said as I watched the guy let go of Mr. Harrison. I sighed in relief. "Actually stab him. Make her feisty." He said as I stared with wide eyes.
"I gave in! I got you what you wanted!" I pleaded as the guy pointed at the screen. I watched as the guy in the room stabbed Mr. Harrison in the stomach making me cry and get angry.
"No leader should have a weakness. Look at me I can kill any guy who works for me." He said before he snapped his fingers and another guy came running it. "Kill Garret." He said as the guy nodded his head running away. "Now watch." He said standing behind me grabbing my head to look at the screen. I watched as the guy who just came in shot the other guy in the room. I tried to look away. "See I don't have weakness's. I can kill people who are working with me. Just imagine what I could do to people I don't even know or care about." He said holding my head in his hands. "Join us and your friends can be released safely." He said looking at the screen and then at me. I looked at the screen to see commotion going on in the room. Everyone was free and kicking ass. I smirked trying to hide it. He gave me a confused look before he could turn his head to look at the screen another guy came running in.
"They have escaped and are on their way up for this one." The guy said making Dredd turn around at the screen. I watched at how angry he was.
"I should tell you, we may have our weaknesses but no matter what we always come back for the others." I said smirking at him as he was beyond pissed. He gripped the gun he had. I thought he was going to shoot me instead he just hit me across the face with it. I gasped as my face was stinging. He began untied my feet as I kicked his face. He held it leaning on the ground taking in the kick I gave him. The other guy came in as he grabbed a hold of me with a tight grip. I tried wiggling but the grip was too tight. Dredd stood up and grabbed my chin.
"Listen here you little bitch, I gave you one chance to join my group. To be my side kick but your little friends ruined it. Now your going to pay for it." He said as blood dripped down his face and mine. He gripped my arms as he walked me out of the room holding a gun up to my temple. We met up with everyone out in the hallway. Everyone had their guns and were about to shoot but seen me and stopped.
"Let her go!" Alayna yelled as she gripped her gun aiming it for Dredd.
"Come on shoot me. You'll shoot her if you even try." He said as his grin came back. I looked at Mr. Harrison who was in so much pain and loosing blood. He looked at me with his face pale and Owen was holding him up. "Come on! Shoot me!" Dredd yelled this time. Emily and I gave each other. I smirked as Emily and I both knew what we were thinking. "Shoot me!!" Dredd yelled as I heard him click the safety off by my head. Emily made her move running forward as I stomped on his foot. He shot his gun though towards the group of my friends. Hopefully he didn't hit them. I landed on the ground. Emily shot her gun the bullet flying through Dredd's head. I got up as I hugged Emily tight. Everyone hugged me except Mr. Harrison, Owen and Damian. I looked over at Owen who was holding up Mr. Harrison. I ran over to them as Owen set Mr. Harrison down on the ground. I began to tear up as I lifted up his shirt seeing the stab wound. We heard gasping as we all turned around.
"Damian!" We all said as we gathered around him. He was shot directly in the heart.
"I...love...you...guys." He said before he was lifeless. We began to tear up as we checked for a pulse. Owen shook his head signalling he didn't have one.
"This is all my fault! Fuck!" I said as I stood up punching a wall probably breaking my knuckles. No one said anything but gathered around Damian's dead body.
"We need to do something about the body." Owen said quietly as everyone just was quiet. I rested my head against the wall I punched crying. Emily came over to me hugging me tight. She didn't really know Damian the way we did but she knew he was my best friend. I cried in her shoulder as Alayna, Jack and Owen came over to us joining in our hug. We totally forgot all about Mr. Harrison until he groaned in pain moving slightly.
"Shit. Mr. Harrison." I said as we broke away from our hug. I walked over to him as he fell to the ground.
I watched as his eyes fell shut.
