A Dangerous Wave

35

"Now ..."

"No!" I scream at the top of my lungs and get up from the floor. I want to run to Rider and kill him right this second, but Ricky comes behind me and grabs both my hands behind my back in his, stopping me from interfering. I struggle as much as I can in his grip, but due to him being stronger than me, it's impossible. The tiny me against the Hulk, yeah like that is going to happen.

"Darcy?!" I hear the person, who I missed call my name. Ben runs into the room, his face shocked from seeing me here. "What is going on?" He looks at everyone, wanting to know everything. He can't help me, at least not yet. He can't blow his cover.

"I was just about to ask a very important question to all of you." Rider answers to Ben. "So, who will make a prettier trophy?" He looks at me, smirking. I am very close to crying and I can't believe myself I haven't, yet. "Now remember boys, the key word is prettier." Rider is still smirking to me.

"No!" I scream and kick around me to try and break from the tight hold Ricky has on me. He is like a stone statue, not even flinching at my struggle. Like an anaconda, his grip on me gets tighter every time I exhale.

As I look at Tina, she is like a deer caught in headlights. She is standing frozen with her cheeks wet from tears. I can't imagine my life with her gone. She is not just my best friend, but I consider her a sister by now. We've always had each other's backs and I can't let her die like that. I can't. She doesn't deserve any of this. I love her so much.

"You promised! You promised you wouldn't hurt her!" I yell at the top of my lungs at Rider but it was too late.

Rider pulled the trigger. Everyone gasped as the body falls to the floor, gripped in pain. But the thing is, the body isn't Tina's. Liam is on the floor, clutching the side of his stomach in pain as he is laying on his back. He took the bullet for Tina. He jumped in front of Tina, pushing her out of the way to keep her alive. She cries out and kneels down to Liam to try and help him.

"Fuck!" Rider yells at the top of his lungs, gripping his hair in anger.

This can't be true. Liam, the person I love, got shot and I can't do anything about it. Tears stream out my eyes at a rapid pace as I yell his name over and over, trying to get to him. All of my worst nightmares are coming true.

Another gun goes off all of a sudden, making me go still. Everyone turns around, their eyes almost falling out of their sockets. The tight grip on me loosens as Ricky falls to the floor. I turn around on my heel and look down at the blood oozing from Ricky's chest. What the fuck?

Another loud sound from the gun goes off and Joey falls to the floor with a thud. I turn around to Ben, seeing him holding a gun, which is still aimed at Joey. He did it. He decided it's the right time to show everyone he's on my side. And he did that with killing two of Rider's men; Ricky and Joey. Everything happened so fast.

"You fucking traitor!" Rider yells, aiming the gun up to Ben. His eyes are blazing with fury.

I run to Rider and push him to the floor at the right time. He fired the gun but it hit the ceiling. As I fall to the floor on top of Rider, he loses his grip on the gun and it slides all the way across the room.

"You bitch!" He punches me and I fall back, now him getting on top of me. I catch a glimpse of Luke fighting with Ben.

I have Rider on me and I try to push him off. I got a few good punches to give Rider, too. But they don't compare to his, I am not that strong. I finally manage to kick him in the gut and I can move away from him. But he soon grips my ankle and pulls me back down to the floor. I give him one good punch to the nose, which makes him fall back onto his back. I get up from the floor and Rider does to.
