Take Me Home

Chapter 4: Attacked

Mason's P.O.V

'Cassy. Cassy. Cassy.' I thought her name over and over in my mind. It was only a little information but it had left me wanting more. It confused me. I had no reason to even care what happened to her, yet I did.

"Boss!" I looked over my shoulder to see Jeremy running up to me with a worried
expression on his face. "They are attacking the house!"

"Who!?" I asked even though I already knew. Our biggest rival 'Los Muertos' translated to The Dead Ones. They lived up to their name too. They were ruthless and showed no mercy. They killed everyone in their path, and they were second in the rankings only to us.

"Get the guns ready." I said calmly. "We have never backed down to them and we won't start now." I ran to my room and threw open my closet. I grabbed the bullet proof vest and Ak-47 I kept there all the time just in case. I ran to the nearest window and threw it open. I looked down into the courtyard and saw them men from 'Los Muertos' in their signature all-black attire and guns blazing.

I readied my aim and began firing. 'Pop pop pop!' The noise was deafening. All of a sudden I her a loud scream coming from Cassy's room which was adurptly was cut off. My eyes widened and I ran as fast as I could down the stairs and to Cassy's room. The door was still lock but I could here her muffled cries. I kicked the door down to find one of the rival gang members holding a gun to her head. "You shoot. I shoot." He said in a rough Spanish accent. Slowly and calmly I put my Ak-47 on the floor and gently kicked it away. Once again I felt that strange effect she had on me earlier before all the shooting began. I didn't want this man to hurt her and if he did... Let's just say he wouldn't live to see the next sunrise.

I noticed that Cassy had no tears running down her face. She was trying to be strong. Of course, fear radiated in her eyes but it was easy to tell she was trying to hide it. This confused me but was also intriguing. The man began backing up toward the window. In one quick motion I kicked the gun out of his and and pulled Cassy away from him. I pulled the pistol I had stashed on my belt out. I fired two shots hitting him once in the leg and the second bullet hit his arm.

"Por favor. Please don't kill me." He cried as I pointed the pistol at his head. "Please! DON'T KILL ME I CAN HELP YOU!" I tilted my head. 'What could he have to offer us?' Jeremy rushed into the room just as I took the gun away from the bastard's head.

"Take this guy to the basement. I'll deal with him later." I said as I grabbed his arm and flung him toward Jeremy. The gunshots had stopped, and once again we had been victorious.

"Okay boss." He said as he grabbed the man's arm and practically dragged him put the room.

After they had gone I noticed that Cassy was curled up on the bed. She had her knees tucked tightly to her chest and her face buried in her arms. She was shuddering but again, I heard no sobs. I went over to her and despite the fact that I other things attend to, I hesitantly wrapped my arms around her.

I whispered in her ear, "It's okay. Everything will be ok." Her head lifted up and tears were forming in the corner of her eyes. She looked confused as to why I had even bothered to try and comfort her. She looked so innocent, yet strong and determined. I snapped out of my gaze when she said,

"W-Who are you r-really? Why did you take me. J-Just take me home." I looked at her again and replied, "I told you. This is your home." My voice so soft so I wouldn't frighten her. Nonetheless, she jerked away and ran to the bathroom and locked the door. She screamed through the door saying,

"JUST TAKE MR HOME! I WANT NO PART OF YOU OR ANY OF THIS! I WAS HAPPY RIGHT WHERE I WAS AND YOU HAD TO TAKE ME AWAY FROM EVERYTHING! I HATE YOU!"

The words wounded me more than they should have so I walked out of the room and locked it. Glass had shattered all of the polished wood. I stormed right past Jeremy as he called out.

"Boss! We got that guy from the shooting and a couple others!"

I stopped suddenly in my tracks and whirled around. Time to beat the crap out of the idiotic men who dared to attack my sanctuary. And now my Cassy. I would make them regret ever trying to hurt her.

This would be fun.
