8. Sacrifice

Luke's p.o.v

"I'm warning you, Luke. If you try to escape this will go very wrong. Don't make it harder for your sister." My mom says.

Once a man unties my hands I feel much better.

My wrists are at the point where their about to bleed out.

"I'm sorry Luke. I really do love you-"

"Shut up! If you really loved us you would have never left! You wouldn't be planning to kill your own daughter." I was at the point where I wanted to choke my own mom.

I hold back my anger by pinching my arms to stay calm.

"I know you are mad, but its for our good."

"Where is dad?" I ask.

"He's currently in London doing some work." I nod.

"From now on you will call me by my name. Aurora." She then leaves the room leaving me alone in fear.

Ashley's p.o.v

-dreaming-

"Luke I'm so sorry. I didn't knew." I say as i run to my tied up brother.
His face is pale and full of blood making it impossible to keep my eyes off him.

"Ashley you need to go. If you want to live don't look for me or mom." Luke eyes plead for me to leave.

"No. No. No." I say a s I finish untying him.

"Finally I see my grown daughter. Look at you. You are so beautiful." My heart stops to the voice I heard.

The women I've missed for years is finally here up in my eyes.

"Mom?" Tears run down my eyes. I run to her and I embrace her in a hug.

She looks different but she is still my mom.

"Ashley. You are in trouble. You didn't listen to your brothers rules. Now you have to face the consequences."

A hard cold metal thing is placed behind my head. I turn and I see Luke with a gun facing it at me.

"Luke, dont. Please." I say.

"You didn't listen to me. I love you sister." Luke loads up the gun and pulls the trigger.

-end of dream-

I snap up of Calum's bed.

I'm sweating terribly.

It was all a dream, but the voices felt so real. Too real to be true.

I look by my side and Calum is sleeping peacefully. I smile and place a small kiss on his temple.

I decide to go at the backyard and take some air consuming what happened.

After ten minutes I decide to go back in, but something caught my attention.

A moving motion went through some trees.

I look carefully, but nothing looks visible.

Once I stand up and turn to the door a black tall figure is in front of me.

My body tenses up.

I walk backwards and with my hands, I try to find something to use as protection.

"Don't worry you don't need to find anything. I won't hurt you, now." The voice says.

"Who are you?" I say loudly enough for the stranger to hear.

"Calum's father. I have a message from your mother." I get closer to him and try to see his face, but it's impossible.

"You mother will like to see you. Only you. No one else. Here is a paper where she wants to meet you. If you don't go, she will haunt you down and she will kill Calum and Luke. Its up to you." Calum's dad then runs off.
I pick up the paper.

'Meet me at our old garage we rented. 7:00 p.m. Tommorow.- Aurora.'

It surprised me that she didn't use the word mom.

-next day-

I wake up in Calum's arms around my waist.

The memory of the letter struck back
at me. I either went and fixed things up. Or I got in more danger.

I knew deep down what i had to do. I would never let Calum or Luke die.

Never.

If this was a sacrifice. I'm doing it.
