The Most Powerful (The Unforgiven)

Chapter 6 (What You Don't Know Can Hurt You)

I rushed to Cody's house, figuring that this was the one place Brianna would go. The only person I cared for....

I jumped out of my mother's now old car, and pranced to the front door. I pounded upon it, hoping that I could at least see his jolly mom. Yet, nothing. I went around back, checking in the garage door window for a car.

His mother's car was gone. She was probably out with friends, leaving Cody either alone or at a friend's house.

I heard a muffled voice to the side of the house, something that I wouldn't have heard until now...

I basically stomped my way over like an angry mother, hoping that Cody was just doing something stupid with a friend, which usually isn't any better, considering that Coleman and Cody are both into explosives.

When the scene appeared to me, I already didn't like the looks of it.

Coleman was lighting a wire sticking up from a two-liter Coke bottle. They both laughed idiotically after lighting it, and jumped up to run away. Yet, Cody ran. Coleman sat on his can like a moron.

Plastic flew every which way, sharp pieces flying towards Coleman. After the explosion, Coleman laughed alongside Cody, drops of blood on his face and arms after the plastic shards hit him.

"Hey!" I yelled. They both froze, knowing damn well that I had seen their pathetic attempt to entertainment.

"Rebecca... Hi," Cody said, still smiling from what had occurred. Coleman watched me cautiously, as though I was a vicious dog, ready for attack.

"Why?" I simply questioned, raising one eyebrow, looking back and forth between the two. They both glanced at each other with a guilty smile, and shrugged at the same exact time.

Idiots think alike....

I rolled my eyes and quickly spotted a backstabbing little blonde bitch standing five feet from Cody. I quickly reacted to the punch, running to the two boys.

Yet, Brianna seemed to have much faster reflexes. She gripped Cody from behind, spinning him to face her. She stared into his eyes, and it seemed Cody had gotten lost in a trance.

I glanced a swipe to a Coleman, realizing that the coward was running off into the woods.

When I looked back at Brianna's direction, she was gone. Cody stood, looking dumbfounded as though by the location. He looked at me with a fearful expression, which quickly formed into a strong look of concern.

"Rebecca!" He yelled out, as though in shock.

Hands were suddenly placed on my head, and Cody's body, including everything else around me, fell into nothingness.

"You were right, Satan. I shouldn't have disobeyed." Or have any hope what-so-ever for that matter. But my hope fell long ago. I knew which side I was on.

Satan seemed to believe it as well. He walked up and placed his hands on my face.

"Good. To prove it, you're going to do something for me."

He took his hands off of my face, looking into my eyes, ready to spout out demands.

"To prove your loyalty, kill them. Both of them."

I simply nodded in response. I was about to send one of my own henchman, yet I forgot.

Satan had killed them all for my punishment. But, he had been right. All of my pain and training, it needs to be put to good use.
