10 Days//A.I. (Book 4)

*Day 8*

Kinsley's POV

The night was mostly quiet and peaceful. I slept for about 5 hours, from 10 to 3.

Then, there was a creak from the door.

I saw glimmering light reflecting off of black hair. Oh no.

"Hello." a voice says, with the hint of a smirk.

It's a deep and dark voice. The bearded man.

"Ashton! Ashton!"

Ash wakes up immediately and notices who's standing at the door.

Everyone else wakes up quickly after.

"How did you find us?" Calum asks loudly.

"It really wasn't that hard, teenagers are hiding in the basement, the next best place is the roof. You'll all be happy to know you're the only group left apart from 3 others. Everyone else is dead."

"What's wrong with you, seriously? You're taunting us. If you want to kill us why don't you just do it already?" Jen asks angrily.

"What fun would this be if I didn't make a show out of it? I'm waiting until the last possible second. When the police finally decide to come in, I'll have you all held hostage and kill you all right when they're peering through the doors, waiting to come in. I'm going to jail either way so why not have some fun with it." An evil laugh sounds from the bottom of his chest.

"You're mental." I say, shaking my head.

"Oh sweetheart, I know, and I don't care."

"So what are you gonna do?" Liss asks the man, her voice shaking.

"Not really sure. I might just kill the men now, so that they can't protect you. And then you ladies and I will have some fun." He smiles widely.

"That's disgusting. I would never do that with you. Ugly ass." Delaney's savage attitude finally shines through.

"Facts though." Jen replies.

The man snarls and speed walks toward us at a frightening speed.

He grabs Jen and holds her in a headlock while the rest of us gasp.

"Let go of her right now or I swear to god I'll-"

"You'll what?" Beardface asks Calum.

Suddenly Calum jumps out of his position on the floor and kicks the man to the floor, putting Jen behind him.

"You have really bad timing dude. And procrastination issues." Calum laughs.

Ashton takes his knife from under his pillow and gets up, sauntering over to the man. He's about to stab him directly in the chest before I stop him.

"Wait. I want this man to suffer in prison for the rest of his life. If he's dead, he doesn't have to think about how fucked up he is, ever again."

"Well someone make the call, this is our only opportunity." Calum groans, struggling to hold down the man.

"Don't kill him." Laney says, "Do something else, just don't kill him. I agree with Kinsley, I'd rather have him suffer forever."

Ashton nods and stabs the mans thigh all the way to the end of the kitchen knife as the man hisses out in pain.

"You fucker! You're gonna pay for this. All of you." He manages to squeak out.

Ashton and Calum haul him over to the door and throw him down the stairs, locking him out when he tumbles to the bottom.
