Black Veil Vampires

Chapter 40

Simultaneous gasps were heard, and then a familiar voice: Jinxx's. It was Jinxx and Ashley, they found me. The clock read 11:58am; and a car was heard pulling up outside, doors slamming a moment later. An involuntary yelp got passed my lips and I started fighting the chains again. Jinxx and Ashley rushed over and began working at the chains, doing their best to get me free.

"Ash, go fight off whoever that is." Ashley nodded sternly, then got up and pulled that damn leather strap from its place on his pants. Jinxx stopped trying to yank at the chains, and went still for a couple of seconds, closing his eyes and steadying his breathing.

"Jinxx!" I whispered loudly, urging him to hurry and panicking as the footsteps above us got closer. With no warning, he opened his eyes and ripped the chain right off of the wall. Right at that moment, Jinxx and I heard screams and a fight break out above us. Jinxx repeated the same steps with the chain, then helped me up. Him and I rushed up the steps, and by the time we got to the top, a guy was already lying lifeless in the ash. Ashley was taking on two more, one of them being the guy from earlier.

"Let me go, I'll run, they want to kill me." I said to Jinxx, but he knew damn well I would probably try something again, than and I was too weak to get far.

"No." Was all he said, before grabbing my arms and putting me on his back. He took off running, piggybacking me back to that hell. I held on tight, glancing behind me. Ashley was following close behind, and behind him were the two guys he hadn't gotten to; I'd assumed the third was already dead.

Clearly, Ashley and Jinxx had fed earlier, because if they were this quick before, they would've for sure caught me. It only took about twenty-five minutes to get back to the prison, but there was a problem still; those creeps knew where I was now. We rushed through the gates, and Jinxx [probably] unintentionally threw me to the ground. He slammed the gate shut, and Ashley flipped on the electricity. They shrieked, as their hands were on the fence, rattling it and shouting for me. Jinxx helped me up while they continued screaming in at me.

"We'll fucking have your blood! We'll have you the second your guard is down!" Jinxx left me once I was on my feet and was at the gate, screaming back at them. I couldn't make out what he was saying though, since Ashley took me back inside. I had no idea where he was taking me, but the farther we went, the more scared I got; I've never been to this part of the building before, and the corridors got narrower and the light became scarce.

"A-Ashley.." I whispered, groping through the dark. "Where are we going?"

"Shut up." He was pissed, and I heard a door opening. I couldn't gauge the distance, and ended up running into him. He sighed in irritation as a light flipped on. I shielded my eyes from the sudden brightness as he grabbed my wrist and drug me into the room. I looked around, and there were various tools hanging off the walls. I was less scared now, because it appeared he'd just taken me to a utility room.

Ashley scanned the wall for a tool, and ended up selecting bolt cutters. First, he cut the chains off of the cuffs, and large weights just disappeared, and the relief was great. He hung the cutters back on the wall, and next selected a large saw. Ashley made a grab for one of my wrists, but I dodged it and jumped back.

"The fuck are you doing? Do you want those cuffs off or not?"

"Yeah, but-"

"But what? Don't trust me?" I slowly shook my head no, and he started rubbing his temples. "Then who the fuck do you trust?" He asked through gritted teeth.

"Mike.." I said, just above a whisper.

"Well, that fucking sucks!" He about shouted, grabbing my wrist and pinning me down. I heard the saw turn on and sparks flew. Minutes later, I felt the cuff loosen around my wrist. I also felt the saw slip and slice my wrist. I yanked back, holding my arm to my chest, and trying to hold back tears from the pain.
