One Night || e.d.

Chapter 20: Master Plan

Mia's POV

"I'm glad you guys have figured it's me by now." Jake yelled from inside the house. "I don't have to hide behind the shadows anymore."

I walked into the house and Jake was holding my aunt by the throat.

"What are you doing?" I asked him.

"Mia. Run." my aunt managed to say. "It's not safe. Run and run as fast as you can."

"Aunt Nessa. I'm not leaving you."

"M–"

"Put her down. I will do anything. Jake just please put her down."

"This is so sad. This is the woman who almost killed your boyfriend and you don't want her to die."

"Of course I don't. I love her. I will always love her. She's my family. We all make mistakes."

"Is that the excuse you're making up for her? Pathetic."

"Jake just put her down please. I'm begging you. I will do anything. Please. Don't do this."

"Mia run."

"I'm not leaving you."

"Your aunt over here was the one that set the fire."

"Fire?"

"Yes dumbass. A fire."

"You don't have proof."

My aunt heaved, "listen to my heartbeat. I didn't do it. We didn't do it."

"I still don't believe you. I want an apology."

"Listen to my heartbeat."

I took a step forward, "Jake please. Put her down and you can take me. Don't hurt her. Jake. Don't do this."

"One step closer and I slit her throat." he glared at me, "I want an apology."

"Mia what if I–" Brie started.

"He'd claw her throat out before you would hit him. The vibrations don't go quick enough."

"Run." my aunt looked me dead in the eyes.

"I suggest you listen to your aunt and run. This is going to be ugly and it's best if you don't see. Don't want you to hate me forever." he smirked.

"It's too late for that. You messed with my friends. You messed with my family."

I felt so defenseless. I didn't have my arrows. I didn't have any daggers around. I had nothing. Even if I did, I don't think I'd hit him in time before he slit her throat and ran off.

"I want an apology and I want it now."

"I'm sor– I'm sorry." she could barely talk.

"She can't breathe. Let her go." I said.

"Hmmm... didn't sound very sincere." he clawed her throat.

"NO." I ran over and caught her lifeless body.

Blood was splattered on the windows and the walls. Jake stood there and smirked in satisfaction as to what he just did.

I knew she was dead. I know Brie told me someone was gonna die, but I still checked her pulse. There was nothing.

"Who's next?" Jake picked Brie up and held her in the same position he held my aunt.

"PUT HER DOWN. JAKE DON'T DO THIS." I shouted.

I heard a growl and looked towards the door.

"Lay a hand on her and it's going to get ugly." Ethan said and Grayson walked in behind him.

"One more step and it's going to get ugly." Jake moved in front of me.

Ethan jumped at him and Jake threw Brie into the wall.

Grayson and I ran over to see if she was okay. I went to see if she was still breathing. I checked her pulse and she was still alive. A few seconds later, she opened her eyes and was okay.

"Oh thank god." I sighed.

Ethan's POV

Jake growled loud as fuck. Everyone's eardrums were about to burst.

We all covered our ears.

"Is everyone okay?" I looked around, "Where's Grayson?"

Everyone looked around. Both Grayson and Jake were gone.

"Where'd they go?"

"I think he took him. It can't be a coincidence that he's gone and so is Grayson." Brie said.

"Grayson?" I ran to the door. "GRAYSON."
