"And why can't we be allowed to see who we've kidnapped? I mean, you should let us--we did the dirty work! Was it a girl? A boy? What had they done to you? What's in it for us? Are you going to kill--"

"--I'LL SHOOT YOU IF YOU DON'T SHUT THE HELL UP!" Niall barked at me, his pale hands tightly clenched into fists. His blue eyes were cold as icicles, causing me to gulp and take a step back away from him, obviously scared. I've only known this guy for less than twenty-four hours, yet I know he's damn serious about killing things--or people.

Harry briefly explained that we're in a gang now, that we can't get out of unless we want to die. Obviously I don't want to die, nor do I want to be in a damn gang! I'm really not that helpful. All I can think of is Danielle all the time. She's all that's on my mind. Her and her new stupid boyfriend. Louis's calmer then how I expected him to be. I really thought he'd put up a fight... but he didn't. He was just quiet and always obeyed what Niall instructed him to do.

So we kidnapped the person, covered them in black from head to tor, and had taken them back to the place where Niall was--a dinar place. Not a very original place, but hey. No-one would expect a kidnapped person to be at a dinar, so I guess that's quite smart. The thing is though, you can't underestimate Niall. He's a lot more smarter then he looks.

"Now we wait." he tells the three of us who is standing around our new leader--one who I never had met before today. He's damn creepy though, I'll tell you that.

"Wait? Wait for what?" I asked him, letting my curiosity get the better of me--crap. He looked pissed off like before.

"Payne. I suggest that you keep your mouth shut for the time being. At least until I've calmed down--for your benefit and for my own. I wouldn't want another dead body on my name. I'm not Voldemort. I don't do all these killings for fun, yanno."

"Why do you kill those people, anyway?" Harry chirped in, keeping his distance in case Niall started to get annoyed and have a massive tantrum--which would end up with one of us dying. I've already got a black eye because of him. I want to get off his bad side, but his life and personality is so interesting, so I really can't help but ask curious questions. He obviously doesn't like being interrogated--maybe from past experiences?

"Do you guys really want story time?" Niall looked at us, his eyes softened and I breathed out in relief now that he was calming down. One step out of line, though and he'll blow. We all nodded our heads in unison, didn't want to risk words to make him snap.

"Fine. I decided to kill people, because they knew too much information about me. Once in my gang, you're sworn to secrecy--I can't trust anyone. Not even people in my own gang, you see. They may promise but I remember times when I've been backstabbed, so I don't want that to happen again. I guess you can say I was--"

"--scared?" I suggested, before slapping my hands over my mouth to shut myself up. He glared at me coldly for a few seconds before continuing.

"Niall doesn't ever get scared. Remember that. I was more anxious over how much they were going to find out about me, and use it against me... Blackmail. Once I felt like they were going to do that, they had to die. I mean, I didn't want to risk any secrets coming out about me. So you guys, either stick with me till the end, or die. Either way, you're going to hell." he smirked at his last sentence, in a rather sinister way.

I caught Louis's blue eyes who looked equally shocked as I was--we didn't sign up for this? That's not even fair. Then again, no-one said life would be fair, did they?
