The Beast Within Her Beauty

6

The sight of Margo nearly made me jump out of my seat. The cuffs around my ankles stopped me from doing so, they pulled me right back down into the hard mahogany chairs and I winced on impact. My body was still sore from the crash and fighting that terrible man. My head secretly pounded from recent electrocution, but I had no choice but to ignore it, ignore the pain and the voices screaming at me to kill everyone. They all sat in the back of my head waiting, waiting for me to strike.

"Lana-"

"Sit." Alex ordered from behind her which startled the woman. She hesitantly sat in the chair beside me since Alex decided to take the seat across.

"Where's Eric and Hayden?" Was my first question. Alex shot me a look but I simply ignored him and looked in Margo's eyes for answers, hoping everything was okay. Okay. Funny word. Nothing was okay and I knew it.

"He...Eric didn't listen and Hayden didn't like it..."

"What do you mean?" My eyes searched hers frantically now and my heart began to race faster than ever as the thought of anything ever happening to Eric crossed my mind.

She never got the chance to answer, heavy footsteps sounded up the stairs and soon Hayden bursted through the door. He was sweaty and I could feel the anger radiating off of him. What has Eric done? What did Hayden do? He sat down and grunted before scooting his chair in. He looked around at everyone and smirked. Disgusting.

"I'm sorry, but our little friend couldn't make it to dinner tonight," Couldn't make it?

"Maybe we'll bring him a plate later, if you're good, Lana."

Margot shifted uncomfortably in her seat as she didn't enjoy sitting beside Hayden. Glad it isn't me. Bad things to think of, but it was true, it couldn't be me. I wouldn't stand being by his side any longer, at least not tonight. I glanced over at Noah and Erin who had their heads down, Noah playing with his food.

"Did you cuff em'?" Hayden asked.

"No, not yet,"

"Then get to it." He demanded, giving Alex and intense stare. Alex slowly nodded and stood up, sighing deeply.

"Sick basturd." His words were inaudible to everyone besides me, I heard him loud and clear. Finally, someone besides me sees this.

"As you wish," Alex crouched down and began to cuff Margo's left leg. She looked at me and I shook my head, already knowing what she was thinking. As much as I wanted her to do it, I knew it would cause a lot of problems and it wouldn't end well. Margo clearly ignored me and used her right leg to kick Alex in the face. Damn, his beautiful face...

"Ah!" Alex fell back and held his bloody nose and mouth, yelling profanities. Hayden quickly stood up, but Margo was quicker, flinging her fork straight into his chest. One of the other two men was ready to pull a gun, but  I wouldn't let that happen. I pulled out the surgical scissors and flung them into his forehead, sort of like Margo did to Hayden, and gagged as the scissors went straight through. The others around us watched in horror, too much was going on at once and everyone was glued to their seats.

"Lana!" Hayden yelled, clutching his wound around the fork. I uncuffed my own feet and hurriedly did the same to Re'nae as Hayden was still processing what had just happened and what is happening. Did you just kill someone? No, I didn't. You killed someone. You did it again. Shut Up, He's not dead. You said you'd never do it again. I would never say that. Exactly. You would never stop.

"Momma what's going on?" Tears filled Re'nae's eyes and soon they spilled almost uncontrollably.

Telling her that we have to get away from the bad man seemed like the only thing that would get her to move. Take a person and put bad in front of their name, she wouldn't hesitate to run. The other man attempted to stop us. But Margo jumped on his back as Noah ran to us with fear surging through his small body, hands trembling and his face red as a tomato. This wasn't right for Noah. It wasn't right for any of us. Hayden's coming, kill him.
