The Betrayer

Trip to the past

Dear readers I am totally new at this and I sorta have no clue what I'm doing so hang in there and if there's anything you think I should add I would be totally ok with that it's a work in progress. Thanks!💙

He betrayed me wh-why would he do this and after so much we've been through!

I try not to think about that strange dream I had last night that left me gasping for air with tears pouring down my face as I try to focus at the task at hand.

As I walk I hear my heart drumming against my rib cage in anticipation and glance at the frosted over street sign that reads Mark Av. Puffs of my breath are seen while I take a glance ahead keeping my head down under my dark hood trying not to be seen, I reach down to check to see if my pistol is still there feeling relieved that I actually have some type of defense if things... well, go crazy.

I glance up once more eyeing the black clothed figure ahead of me. He looks back as if feeling my eyes on him and a jolt of sparks soar through my body as the adrenaline kicks in I dive to the left catching my elbow on the cold brick wall in the very creepy alley feeling a prickling sensation of pain run up my arm.

Everything in me tells me to run and get the heck out of there but I stay, yeah I know crazy right. I count to sixty having heard nothing in the frosty air so I start to slowly stand but I hear the familiar sound of feet crunching on gravel and duck back down again.

Crap, I peek over from behind the dumpster and the glint of something metal blinks at me from the ground, I can barley make out my name before it's out of my view and in the looming black figures hands, I watch as bits of gravel fall from his hands as he slowly studies it.

Fudge nuts, this is bad really bad I dropped my badge how can I be stupid enough to drop my badge! How in the fuck can I be this stupid I mean seriously not to toot my own horn but toooot I'm a pro at this...

"Bella?" A voice whispers in the night
"Bella Smith?" He says with a hint of recognition in his voice.

I feel the air go colder than it already was just from hearing my name come from his mouth tiny sensations of fear trickle through me and something nudges at the back of my mind. I slowly slip my hand to my hip and I clutch onto the cold metal, and I click the safety off and I'm ready.

"Freeze, put your hands where I can see them!" I say sternly.
"Oh so you're Bella, I thought that sounded familiar" he responds
"Hands up or I'll shoot!" I say my voice slightly wobbly
"You don't remember, huh, what a shame. I mean you were young when this happened but it was such a dramatic experience are you sure you don't remember me Bell"  he said in a mocking voice

My eyes start to darken with images of my past, I try to fight it but it's too much. Pain flares in my chest, and shoots up to my head.

FLASHBACK

    "No please, please don't hurt him I beg you" I scream to the bright screen
My heart starts aching as I watch them beat his body. And all I can do is watch. I can't do anything, the burning sensation on my wrists and ankles is prove of that. I hear his mangled screams come through the speakers once again to taunt me in this hard chair while the others laugh at his expense in that godforsaken room where people are dragged in there fighting and screaming and never come out.

No person should witness this gruesome thing happening to their hero, their best friend, their father.
    "No please stop, you're going to ki-" my cries are muffled by the hands of the aggressors
    "Child shush your cries!" He shouts as my head snaps to the side from the impact of his large hands " or you shall be punished again"

My body grows cold at the thought, the man next to me smirks " keep acting up Bell, so you will be punished by me. The boys and me take turns after all."
My eyes ache to cry, to cry for the all the souls that have been lost, for daddy, for every single person they have killed. But my tears will not fall, I will not cry, I've cried enough I will stand up maybe not today but some day.

"It was lovely meeting you Bella, but alas our time is done...... for now" he says as the world fades into darkness.
