ANTAGONIST ➳ JANTHONY AU

Chapter 21-trouble

Jasmine P.O.V

My feet hit the ground hard as I ran out of the restaurant. I spotted Aunt Kath's motorcycle and hopped on. salt water flooded my face as memories faded in from my family. "I'm going to kill that son of a bitch," I mutter.

I start the motorcycle speeding out onto the street. I had no time to waste, as I looked down at my watch I had 20 minutes to get there. I'm running out of time! I thought as I tightened the on the handles.

~*~*~

I hopped off my motorcycle onto the cement sidewalk towards the old abandoned warehouse. I had 15 minutes left so all I needed to do is find them. I walked into the dark place, pitch black but I could sense fear not coming from me...just a fear vibe. My hands shook each death threatening risk step I took. The only thing that held in this place was life or death and I'm willing to risk it all for my family. Cause I love them.

My thoughts wanted me to keep going and look all badass without fear but it didn't work out cause I was still shaking about to start crying again and I was by myself. That's when it all happened, I jumped scared of the flashing light that flashed mysteriously. I froze at that point petrified of what's going to happen next. 

I could see a man figure in the distance as the lights flashed. I couldn't make out his face cause he was a bit distant. He kept moving forward knowing that I am too weak to move a muscle. As the lights continued to flash I wanted to scream but I couldn't I need to find my family. "Where are they!" I yell trying to show bravery.

"Who?" the figure asks.

"My family...the C.J.'s," I respond.

He came to the point where he was close up but he had a black mask on. He held a knife in his hand drawing closer to me. I could hear his ragged breathing in my ears. "So your Jasmine Cephas Jones..." The figure says.

"Yes..." I respond scared.

"I-I'm here, now where are they?" I ask.

"You want to see your family?" He asks.

"Yes!" I yelled.

"Okay..." He responds moving away forward to where he started. 

I clenched my hands tightly as I watched the man hold onto a lever. I was scared to find my family dead. He pushed down the lever as the garage dorr revealed my family tied together in a rope. Taped to their mouths as sweat dripped from their brow. I ran towards them until I was stopped by the unknown man.  "Let go! You said if I come you'll let them free!" I yell.

"That's if..." He starts removing his mask.

"You and your family join my restaurant," He says.

I gasp. "Mr.Roger?" I ask now seeing the hints.

Oliver's dad the whole entire time held my family prisoner? How many days? What did he do with them? "No," I respond bravely.

"That took a lot of courage to say, Cephas," He addresses stepping closer.

He drew his knife closer to me. I shook in fear as my family tried to yell through the tape and struggling through the ropes that dug into their skin. If that let them free let it be. As the cold knife touched my skin I prayed for their safety of them. 

I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory Is this where it gets me, on my feet, several feet ahead of me? I see it coming, do I run or fire my gun or let it be? There is no beat, no melody(this is a sad hamilton reference so I'm not going to say let's get it) (can you just imagine Alex as a ghost screaming THOSE ARE MY FUCKING LINES)
