Chapter 3

Liz's P.O.V

I was showed to this room upstairs.Only.No tour.
The floor was just as beautiful.Roman paintings and Victorian touch.This gang had money,alright.
My room was adjacent to Sebastian's and Chase and was parallel to Marco's.

Talk about escaping?
Yeah.No chance in hell.
And to have extra security,the windows were sealed shut.By sealed I don't mean locked.I mean,freakin' soldered.
And the door,don't even get me started on the freakin' door.It had three locks.Three freakin' locks.

The only thing good about the room was that it had a toilet and a few books.
It had off-white walls and a bed.Not king-sized or queen-sized,just a single bed with a iron bed stand.

This room looked like it was being renovated.
I don't care.That's not what was on my mind.

Matt.That's what was in my mind.
"I love you,Liz....Your lover's dead...You didn't even realise it."
It was all playing in my head.
"When I met you at the swings..."

I was already locked in here.I remembered the day at the swings.

"This is our playground."One of them said.He was taller,I think.

Everybody scurried away.Some making excuses to their mothers,some just walking home with their friends.

Mum was not here to take me yet.I couldn't go home.I was so scared.

I went and hid in the abandoned pipes.Waiting for Mum.
I heard a crack.I looked forward scared.
What if they find me?

It was just a boy.A boy my age.
"Can I sit here?"He said,looking at me,pleading.
"Okay."I said,unsure of what to do.
"My Dad isn't here yet.I'm waiting for him."He said playing with his fingers.

Suddenly,I heard a voice"Gotcha"
The voice had originated from one of the brothers.

He dragged us back in the ground.
"Look who I found."He said to his brother laughing.
"Leave us alone."I said,hissing.
"Have some respect,little girl.We don't hit girls but it doesn't mean I won't make an exception."

"Don't you dare touch her.You will have to go through me before you touch her."The boy said,pushing me behind him.

"Oh!Look who it is.The man of the house.Mr.Gringotts."He said and started laughing.
His laugh irked me.It was evil.

"Oh yeah!Mom told us about this goon's father.Disappeared.Poof.What a coward!"The other one said and started laughing.

I looked at the boy in front of me.He had tears in his eyes.But he wasn't breaking down,he was angry.
He kicked his legs on the ground and suddenly sand went up and in the eyes of the brothers temporarily blinding them.
Then,I realised we were in the sand box.

He grabbed my hand and started running towards the street.
"Let's run to my house.It's near."I said.

We ran to my house and we went inside.Mum wasn't home yet.Roza called her and told her I was already home.

"What is your name?"I said to the boy giving him his lemonade.

He sipped it and then answered,"Matthew Gringotts.You should call me Matt.Everyone calls me Matt."

"Matt,I'm Elizabeth Steele.Everyone calls me Liz ."I said playing with my frock.

Suddenly everything disappeared as I heard a knock on my door.

"Settling in?"said Marco,smirking.

"Whatever."I said and went towards the exit.
He blocked my way.
"How do I know you won't run away?"he said cautiously tilting his head to the right.
"The same way you know,my friend's death should not be in vain.After all,he wanted me safe."I said glaring at him.
He put his hands up defensively and let me out.
Just then I heard a phone ringing.
My phone ringing.It was a part of Martin Garrix's beat drop in his song Animals.
I'd recognise that anywhere.

I followed it to the living room we were in before.Sebastian was holding my phone in his hand,staring at the caller id.

As if he heard me coming,he looked up and showed me the id:Linda Gringotts.
Matt's mom.
