Scars Left By Memories - Book II

Trusted You

Horrifying was an understand statement. It did not fully describe the things that were happening in that moment. Alessandro throws a belt onto the floor, then pulls out a carbon pistol, shoving it against Francisco's temple.

That's who Nikolay was excited about, and why he wanted me to have the gun in the first place. He was going to make me kill Francisco. The room was filled with screams and threats from Alessandro.

"Alessandro stop!" Nikolay shouted entering the room through the other door, to the right of me.

Alessandro pulled his pistol away. Nikolay turned towards me, looking at my hand which carried the gun. I turned slightly and spotted Francisco glancing at me.

"You are finally here Sage and with the gun. Good girl." Nikolay said before chuckling.

"What do you want me to do with it?" I questioned. Nikolay had a large smug on his face after my question.

"Once we get the information out of him. We want you to put him to sleep. I mean, since he did call you off and that's why you are here after all." Nikolay answered. He wasn't wrong, but I was not going to kill Francisco.

I just stood there barely clamping onto the gun. I felt horrible the day where I found out I was Nikolay's daughter and kept it a secret from Francisco. Killing him, was not going to be something I would do.

"Good girl." Nikolay says.

"Francisco, you will be answering some questions, I do not care that you are battered and bruised. In fact, I can now see a resemblance between you and him." He adds to his comment.

"You don't need to say that to him." I said. Nikolay turned towards me raising his eyebrows.

"Excuse me. Sage, I don't know if I told you, but you were supposed to keep your mouth shut till we got our answers." Alessandro added with his irrelevant comment.

"Sage, just keep quiet please." Nikolay says, Alessandro had his eyes on me at all times.

I turned towards the door and walked out. I couldn't bare to see what they were doing to Francisco. I stood out in the living room that was completely empty.

"Where do you think you're going?" Marco said appearing from the hallway.

"Up to my room, I am not watching what they are doing to Francisco." I reply. Marco furrowed his eyebrows.

"I meant, where's Kimberly? You should know because you two always hanging out with each other." Marco says.

"I don't know where she went. It's been a crazy morning, okay." I said trying to not scream.

Why was I on the verge of screaming? Because if I returned back into that room. Either Nikolay or Alessandro might have done the job of killing Francisco.

"Sage! Come in! We have gotten our answers." Nikolay calls. I walked to the door. Turning the knob to open it. "Now here comes the fun part. You just close your eyes when it's perfectly on him."

I pointed it at him at first. He didn't even look up, I see the scars they had left him on his back. It was the whips from the belt. I shut my eyes.

Stabbing that gun onto my temple.

"Sage stop! Stop!" His hoarsely voice, that I hadn't heard in four months. I opened my eyes. To see Francisco, he was looking up at me now.

I moved my fingers to the trigger. Just any second. I could completely end everything. Nikolay or Alessandro weren't saying anything. As they were enjoying this.

"Sage. Get your finger away from-" before Francisco could continue. Alessandro smacks him with the belt on his back.

Letting the gun slip from my hands. I run over to Alessandro shoving him away from Francisco. He barely moves back, but enough to show him and Nikolay, I didn't change. I didn't stop caring about Francisco.

"Sage you pick up your gun and shoot him." Alessandro demands.

"No, take Francisco up to your room and wash him up. I am very upset of your actions today Sage." Nikolay says picking up the gun from the floor. He turns around setting a rolled up piece of black cloth. Alessandro stands over by Francisco, unlocking him the pipe. But turns to the door after doing so.

Alessandro and Nikolay leave through the doors. I walked over to the counter where the Nikolay left the black cloth. I unrolled it to find a black shirt. Probably for Francisco.

I walked over to Francisco, kneeling down as he sat up. I handed him the back shirt. He takes it from me. Putting it on rather quickly.

"Why and how are you here?" I ask.

"It was a mission, we didn't know this was Nikolay's estate. While leaving. I accidentally fell through the vent. I was with Jo, but hopefully he returned back home." Francisco answers.

"It took you four months, to come look for me. No one did." I reply.

"It's not because we didn't want to. It's not that easy as it was back in June. These people know what they are doing. They have so many backup plans and resources." Francisco explains.

"We will find a way out of this." I said.

"I hope so, I will be lucky enough to make it out of here alive." Francisco replies.

I haven't spoken with you guys in forever. Which I had been forgetting to add messages at the end of each chapter. But what do you guys think of Sage stepping up for Francisco and Kimberly's disappearance.

Is there a certain character who you dislike most?

Who's your favorite character?

And why are they are your favorite character?

IMO, I think I love Francisco just a little more than Sage. Like of course I love Sage, but she reminds me of myself. Which is why I tried to make Francisco as different as possible from Sage.
