Dark Romance

Healing

I walk outside the door and stare at both of the guys. They look down and see Tre's hand near the seal.

"You can walk out of here with your lives. It's your decision." I warned him.

"Did you kill him?" One of the men asked.

"No."

"Are you going to?" The other one asked.

"Soon enough." I shrugged.

They walked out without a second thought.

I walked down the hall and peeped around the corner. Guards.

I walked around the corner and looked at them. They looked at me.

"You wanna leave here alive?" I asked. They instantly busted out laughing.

"Who let their child loose?" One of them laughed.

"Come on, lil bit. Let's get you back into bed." The other one taunted, walking towards me.

"Tre will be dead soon enough. You can stop acting." I slightly grew pissed at the nickname.

"Deadass?" One of them asked.

"Deadass. And you can go into his crib and get whatever money is left."

They looked at one another.

"Who's gonna kill him?" One of them asked. I studied his features. Buff. Big.

"Just know he has 12 hours left." I said.

"Aight." They said before beginning to walk off.

"Wait." I spoke, causing them to stop. "You." I pointed to the buff one. "What's your name?"

"Darrin." He said, turning to me.

"You stay." I grabbed his wrist.

"Why?" He asked.

"Somebody has to break the seal." I pulled him towards the door.

"The seal is on the inside."

"Open the door and break it. He won't be alarmed by you. Tell him something and break it with your foot. We'll sneak in invisible and attack, get my brother, and you need to stay with us to make sure we make it out of here alive. Understand?" I asked.

"And why should I listen to you? I don't take orders from you." He snatched his arm away.

"I'll have no problem paying you extra for your troubles."

"Fine." He agreed. "Get ready." He said, putting his hand on the doorknob.

We all went along with the plan, turning invisible. He opened the door, sliding his foot across the floor.

"Aye, Tre said he's gonna step out for a minute." He said, moving out of the way for us.

We snuck into the room and I stared at my brother, his eyes filled with anger.

"Why?" The guy asked, causing me to take a look at him. Skinny string bean. I could easily take him out. He just finished chaining Carlos. He had a knife in his back pocket.

"He got a shipment of weapons." Darrin lied.

The guy nodded. I snuck behind him and just before I snapped his neck, he threw me into the wall across the room, causing me to be visible. Carlos was shocked at my sudden appearance.

I lowly growled and the boys began to attack him, all jumping him. I ran over to Carlos and touched his chains, but it repelled after a while.

I looked at Darrin and signaled him over to unlock him. He came over and freed Carlos. Ray flew over my head, hitting the wall just as I did. I looked over at the enemy.
