Coast bloods

Chapter one

"Why are you here?" A man asked sitting at table with a lot of chairs.

"This girl we found her in our city. There was a man with her. Yeah we sort of killed him. But back to the point, we have this girl. We will give her back for a price." I said leniently.

"A price that will cost you dearly." A boy from the Triads said with a nasty smile on his face. I wanted to punch him but then remembered our temporary truce.

"May I ask what price you demand?" The man at the desk said not coming any closer to us, like he is scared of us. Honestly I don't blame him. We are the defires, the people who won't hesitate to kill him. I looked at the woman in the ropes tied around her wrists and ankles,causing her to have the harsh rope burn against her skin. She had piercing gray eyes that showed fear and frustration. Her hair was a silky black, with a perfectly round face with pale skin. I sort of felt sorry for her, I mean not trying to sound weak but she is tied up and we basically starved her for almost two weeks. They where so cruel to her, she cooperated and everything.

2 weeks later (now in Ashbel's point of view)

There was a knock on my front door. My parents have been missing for a month. I wonder if this visit is about them? I walk slowly to my front door, I am not sure I want to figure out if it is about them.Maybe if I don't answer the door they will go away... I should definitely open the door. It is the right thing to do, my parents always taught me not to leave guests at the door.

"We know you are in there don't even try to hide." The person out side the door says calmly. But I know he wont stay calm forever I know that for a fact. Because I know the voice, he is someone from the Government and if I don't answer the door it is a act of defiance against the Government. I have to open the door but I cant bring myself to do it. As I walk to the opening in the front of the house I am really scared about what they tell me. I open the door to reveal two tall men. There badges say that there names are John, and Ethan. I know John but I have never seen Ethan before.

"Come in." I usher them in. They sit on the couch that is right by the door.

"I think you know why we are here." says the guy with the badge that says Ethan.

"I think I do... You are here to talk about my mom and dad! Am I correct?" I say my voice is shaky but I try to remain calm.

"Yes,that is why we are here." He pauses for a second like he is trying to think about what to say.

"She told us to give you this." he hands me a packet of papers. The packet is really heavy at least five pounds.

"So I am guessing she is dead!" I am not calm anymore I am on the verge of tears. My voice is extremely shaky now I can hardly keep back the tears but I have to.

"Yes she is and so is your dad, they where really brave they did stuff that many Accepters would not dream of ever doing, they are very admirable. I look up to them besides the fact that they defied against the Government more then once." He says it like he means it, he is smiling.

"Wait they defied against the Government and the Government didn't do anything about it? I am so confused No one can defy against the Government without being caught and killed." I am so confused and I think he gets it because he responds with a very good answer.

"You are absolutely right no one can defy against the Government without being caught. You are wrong about them being killed. They do not get killed they are just sent to the defires. There they find a new life,sometimes a new name. They are slated of their past life to live anew one." He answers my question to the very last detail. At that point I was so confused I didn't know what to do or to say. They slated people and just took their past life from them? Do they even have a say in the decision. I looked at them with a poker expression.I felt my whole body stiffen underneath me. I kept my feelings inside of me. I was not going to show them weakness.
