What am I getting myself into?

Sacrifice and good byes

I wake up with a throbbing head ache.

I open my eyes and look around.  I'm in a white room alone, I look forward and see a window.

Through the window were dad, James, Ethan, Jordan,and melody , they were tied to chairs like I am.

they were looking at me in pain and sorrow.  I tried struggling but to no avail.

the door to the room opened then.

The leader from before slowly strolled up to me, smiling creepily.

"Lila, you should have known this was going to happen. Your a weak and broken girl, and you father and your little friends can watch me torcher you and kill you.  They shouldn't have come, why did you put them in this situation?  Your the reason their suffering and your father had kept us away from you for years but you still hurt him, then you basically killed your mom, it was your fault.  If you weren't born then none of this would have happened to anyone of them.  Everything is your fault." he whispered in my ear.

I tried blocking his words out, but it was too late and I had a stray tear that fell down my cheek.

why does life hate me? why was I born?

The leader chuckled, " your pathetic"

I closed.My eyes and took a deep breath, the I opened my eyes and blanked all emotion.

I could see through the glass that everyone was struggling to get out of.their seats and were yelling, looking at me with pain in their eyes.  My dad and James were furious.  Huh, why is James freaking out so much? it's not like he care that much about me, I mean he was sweet sometimes, but it was just because he pitied me right?

I turned my head to the leader.

"do what you gotta do, but let them go" I said

" I'm not going to let them go and your in no position to order me around" he replied, amused.

ahh but he doesn't know that when he was all up close and whispering to me, I was able to grab a knife in his belt and I cut the ropes around my wrists while he was still talking.

I smirk " yes I'm so helpless" I say sarcastically.

I whip of the chair and grab his throat and push him against the wall.

He was staring wide eyed and was struggling to breath.  the knife that I used to cut the ropes, is now pressed to his stomach, but not cutting him yet.

I glare viciously and threaten, " now, your going to let all of them go, do what ever you want to me, I'll trade myself in, instead of my dad and you will leave them alone.  If you dont, I will kill you right now."

He nodded his head, not having the breath to talk.  I took both of his arms and put them behind his back and held them.  I held the knife to his back and pushed him forward and we walked out of the door.

My dad and my friends stared at me in awe as I got them free.

My dad and James seemed to know something was up.

We got to the front doors and I walked out with them but I knew I had go back or the gang would go after them.

I sighed and looked at my dad, I went straight up and hugged him.He hugged me back tightly.

"I'm so glad your Alive, I love you daddy."

" I love you to Lila, I'm so sorry about everything" he said tears streaming down his face.

I turn back to my friends, " hey guys, you don't know how much it means to me that you would all come, putting yourselves in danger just to save me, I mean I've only known you guys for about a month and I love you guys and I won't forget you."

they looked confused, " what do you mean 'forget'? your coming with us right?" Melody asked

I looked at them sadly and shook my head. " I promised that I would turn myself in, in the place of my dad, I just got you all out because I couldn't have you watch me being torchered and killed, you guys deserve so much better"

they exploded.

"what?!"

" no we won't let you be killed"

"your not taking my place lila!"

"YOU CANT DIE WHEN I JUST FIGURED OUT THAT I REALLY LIKE YOU!"

I looked in the direction of the last comment.

James looked so heart broken.

I looked at him in shock.

"you can't like me, there's nothing to like, and I'm putting you in danger, and I'm just a broken girl. I'm horrible and no one should ever like me because I'm such a burden and-"

I was cut off when james' lips came crashing down on mine.

The kiss was filled with passion and longing but I had to let him go.

" it's too late James, it can't be helped."

I looked at all the people.I cared about, they were all crying.

My dad stepped up," I'm taking my place not you, I love you and these people love you too much for you to give yourself up"

" I not going to let you do that because it hurt so much knowing that the first time you 'died' that I had no way of saving you and now I do.  I know you love me and only wanted the best for me, but now I want the best for you but you have to promise me one thing" I said softly.

he nodded telling me to continue.

"you protect these for people with your life" I said with firmness.

he nodded again, crying.

" we will save you" my dad said with so.much determination.

I just smiled taking him in, then I took in my friends too, knowing this was the last time I'll see them.

I kissed them all on the head and hugged them, took one last look at them and went inside.

I could hear them banging on. the door but I already locked it, accepting what was to come.

good bye
