Beauty within the beast

Tell me

They seem to be heading up here with guns and various weapons, nobody here is aware besides roman and I. The fact that Isaac is here, and that he's teamed with Silvia in this " gang" thing, not to mention that they both despise my existence, has havoc wreaking inside me. I'm in so much trouble! I feel like I can empty the contents in my stomach at any moment.

"Roxanne, stay down." Roman's voice causes me to flinch, he is in his "too angry that I seem calm" mood.
With a sigh, he shakes his head "I'm going to call Benji and alert them." His voice is demanding yet calm. How can he be so calm when there's a group of people getting ready to shoot at us?
He quickly pulls out his phone and dials a number.

"Silvia and her group has arrived.They're armed , get everyone ready , they're heading up the driveway now!" He demands in a clipped tone, before stuffing his phone in his pocket and exiting down the stairs. I quickly clamber down and follow him as he hurries down the hallway. He then walks past the elevator and down another hall. He rips open an old looking door to reveal a stairwell, a long dwindling stairwell.

I sigh heavily, before quickly running down the stairs after roman. He makes it look so easy all the while I on the other hand, try to prevent myself from falling. I peer down, letting an unattractive groan escape my mouth. The elevator seems much easier, but I guess there's a particular reason why roman doesn't take the elevator.

"Come on Roxanne, faster!" He demands, noticing that my pace has slowed down as well as my breathing,which has become heavier.

I realize he is a bit ahead of me, ok.. way ahead of me. With a shake of my head, I continue stomping down the stairs. This is torture, but on the other hand, we're in danger. We have to get there and be prepared before Silvia,Isaac and their group do. Meaning, I have no choice but to hurry down these darned stairs.
I had no idea that Isaac would be involved like this.. It frightens me. Now I know why he hasn't been in school. I thought that I wouldn't have anymore problems with him, boy am I wrong. Fear shoots through me at the thought of him sticking to the promise he left me, that i would end up dead.

Now I begin to wonder if Isaac found out about roman being my "husband". Would our plan unravel if he was to question it in front of everyone?

I finally sigh in relief as I see the door come into sight. I have never been so happy in my life to see something as simple as a door. I finish going down the last stair case before following roman. He is swift and doesn't seem to look worn out at all, while I on the other hand, am about to collapse to the floor.
We quickly exit and enter the main living area, only to see everyone standing with a weapon in their hands.
Now if this was some movie, I would of thought this would be pretty freaking cool,but this is reality, and it's scaring the heck out of me. We can't afford to lose anyone else,so I suppose weapons are needed, to my dismay. Roman heads to a cabinet, pulling out a metal case, its big and I know it has some sort of weapon inside.

He rips it open and grabs a MP5,quickly handing it to me. My hands fumble to grab a hold of it as I stare at the dangerous weapon. I may have to use this?..
I don't want to fire a gun, Not again!
I killed someone, I just can't bare the thought of doing it again! I won't become a killer..
I swallow the lump in my throat and mentally beg myself not to cry, not right now anyways.
Roman holds an Ak-47 In his hands, looking intimidating as he loads it up with bullets with ease.

"To the back!" He shouts,causing everyone to calmly file to the back door. I glance at ethlania who looks determined and angry, this obviously doesn't frighten her like it does me. In fact, everyone here seems used to it, maybe a bit tense at the fact that it's Silvia, but still nonetheless emotionless.
