Elizabeth's POV:
I wake up in someone's arms. To my surprise it's Ade. Of all people I wouldn't think it would be Ade to rescue me. I groan and mumble.

"You can put me down now"

"Gladly" he says coldly. He set me down and carried on walking, I followed, being a few metres behind him. "Do you know who it was that kidnapped you?"

"Yes actually, she gave off lots of hints. It was Amanda."

"...Oh"

Ade's POV:
'You idiot Amanda' I think to myself and walk out of the forest with Elizabeth. "I thought you killed Amanda?" I lied

"So did I but it seems she survived."

"That's hard to believe..you pushed her out of damn window."

"Don't do that" she muttered.

"Do what?"

"Remind me of that"

I look at her annoyed and then turn away, ignoring her last comment. I'm in no shape to reply to that, my thoughts and feelings are all over the place.

15 minutes later:
We arrive back her place to find that the door was wide open. She went to a bush near the pathway and retrieved a combat knife.

"Why is that there?" I question.

"I hid it there just incase I needed to get a quick weapon, I forgot about it until now" she muttered.

"Doesn't surprise me"

She enters her house first and then I do. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary until we reached the kitchen. Both Amanda and Seth were standing there, Amanda was holding a black pistol and Seth a metal pole.

"I see you're awake now Elizabeth!~" Amanda says 'sweetly'.

"What are you doing here Amanda?" Elizabeth questioned.

"Like I said once before, I'm not letting you go unpunished." She states. "Your punishment is.." She points her pistol at Elizabeth and smirks. "Death~"

"Come on now Amanda! You can't do that." I say. "You'll go to prison you idiot."

"No I won't. Because everyone thinks I'm dead, they can't expect a dead girl to do this."

"Don't Amanda!" I warn and stand in front of Elizabeth. "You'll become just as bad as Elizabeth"

"Move. Ade"

"Elizabeth..run" I say and she takes off, I follow her and so does Amanda and Seth.

Elizabeth's POV:
Ade and I kept running. We ran through alleyways to try and loose them but it was no use. We couldn't get away. The thing I don't get is the fact that Ade is trying to help me. I finally decide that the only way to get of them is to injure or even kill them.  I quickly turn around and ram my combat knife into Seth's stomach.

"Y-you...bitch!" Amanda yelled and ran for Seth, catching him in her arms.

"S-Seth?" Ade says shakily.

Seth puts his hand over his mouth and coughs up blood. I stood there with wide eyes. Ade walked to Seth's side and cries. Amanda was crying also.

"You'll pay for this" she says and turns her face to me, her remaining eye looking straight into mine. Within that short space of time Seth had died in Amanda's arms, she laid him down gently and stood up. Looking down to the ground, her face had darkened and she shook with anger. Then she pointed the gun at me again and began crying again.

"J-just do it..." I mumble. "Just please..make it quick."

"Why should I?! I'm going to let you suffer in pain before you die!" She yells. There was no objection from Ade. He just stood there, looking at his brothers corpse.

"I-I..don't want that!"

"..are you..being serious right now?" Amanda says angrily. "So it's okay for you to let people suffer but then others aren't allowed to do the same to you?"

"P-Please.." I beg and start to cry.

"No...you'll die slowly and in pain..die now, Elizabeth.." She places a finger on the trigger, but before she could pull the trigger I throw the knife at her. It landed on the right side of her neck. She gasped, then chocked and fell to the floor. She too was now dead.

"What..the hell do you think you're doing?!" Ade yells, now picking up the gun and pointing it at me. "You're nothing to me...it's your turn now Elizabeth." He shoots me in my stomach. I fall to the floor and watch my blood form a puddle around my body. I saw Ade walk away and tears streamed down his face.

"Elizabeth.." I voice that I instantly recognise. Suddenly I feel myself being pulled into her arms. I look up into her grey eyes. Her expression was full of pain and sadness, it broke my heart completely.

"R-Raya..?" I struggle to say.

"Elizabeth..I'm sorry it turned out this way." Tears now ran down her soft cheeks as she played with my hair. "I want you to know that I do love you..and that I will miss you but.." She paused and wiped a tear from my eye with her thumb. "I think this is for the best..no one has to get hurt anymore"

"I-I'm..s-so..s-sorry" I whisper.

"Mum did this to you" she whispered back and still played with my hair. "If she never abused me, you would never have ended up like this.."

I felt myself slowly drifting off but I kept fighting to stay awake.

"No, Elizabeth, let go. I'll be okay" after hearing those words I left the life that I had.

Raya's POV:
She died right in my arms. I hugged her tight before laying her down, shutting her eyes with my own hand. "I'm sorry" I whisper once more and walk away from the alley.

I head towards Ade's house and knocked on his door. When no one answered I let myself in and headed upstairs. I heard the shower water running. I decide to wait in his room at his desk. A few minutes later he came in, he was in a hoodie and tracksuit bottoms. He saw me and dropped his towel on the floor.

"It's all in my head.." He mutters, tears forming in his eyes.

"No Ade..I'm really here"

"N-no you're not!" He yells and turns his back from me.

"I promise." I say and wrap my arms around his neck and hug him. He gasps, turns around and pulls me into a proper hug and held me right.

"Raya" he whispered. I felt his tears soak into my black top and I pull away, then kiss his cheek softly.

"I'm sorry I wasn't here" I said with a sad smile.

"No, don't apologise.." He replied "I'm sorry for yelling at you"

"You're so stupid sometimes." I whisper and hug him once more.
