"Okay great! Eat up.. I'm going to come up with something. That Tyler fuck ain't getting away with anything he did last night or ever caused." I got goosebumps after Vanoss had said that but I agreed.

Vulture

After around 12pm, I couldn't sleep. I am either scrolling on my phone late at night or debating on buying cars or making more upgrades. I do have two more hideouts that's far away from this place. I am just not sure if I should spend money on them right now because I haven't been getting paid like I normally do. We've been under attack which had to get between our heist and it's just upsetting. But one wish I really want to happen, is get Tyler back. I just need to do it wisely and use Vulturenelia's real smart mind and not mess up.

My old plans used to be just to sneak attack The Vanoss Crew but I grew in love with them. They are pictured as my family now. I can't hurt any of them or destroy the trust that's been build. But this is my mess and I need to fix it by myself. I just don't know how to be Vulture anymore. Tyler did awful things to me. It's the worst he's even done. He not only did expose my identity but also raped me. Took a large piece away from me. Took that innocence away. In front of my family. He is going to pay no matter what.

Knock knock

I snapped out of my thoughts and listened again and heard them same knocks again. I slowly sat up kicking the sheets off of my body. I had a few bandages on my thighs due to the cuts so I had to literally grab my thigh and take it off the bed. It's hard to flex anything at the moment. What I am feeling is worse than the feeling of working out and the next day you feel nothing but soreness. That feels like shit but I feel much more. I rubbed my eyes and grabbed the gun that I had sitting on the table beside my bed. I slowly walked over to the door then stopped because a thought hit me hard.

Why would anyone be knocking the door at 1am?

I held my breath and unlocked the door slowly and opened it holding my gun up. I looked both ways and looked down the hallway since no one was around the door. I went back inside my room and threw myself at my desk and moved fast as I could and checked the system out. I looked at all hidden cameras hoping I could get secretly kill whoever intruded. I stared at all cameras for at least 30 seconds and watched. As I got to the 4th guest room, I saw a black shadow standing at the doorstep while someone slept. For a sec I thought it was Mae or Lui since they were sharing but on the sixth camera, there they lie.

I got up and threw my crutches to the floor and limped my way out of my room and after this bastard who was only just down the hall. I held my gun up as I opened the door slowly and was face to back of the head with whoever this was. "Drop it or I will put this whole clip in the back of your goddamn head. Now!" I yelled waking up Mae and Lui. "Woah what the fuck!" Lui yelled covering Mae and putting on his mask so fast. The gunman who only wore shades only smiled and locked his finger on the trigger and put pressure don't. You could hear and see it. I hit him in the back of the head with my gun before he could do anything and he went straight to the ground. I grabbed the earpiece that was poorly blended in with his jacket and turned it on. "Tell Tyler that I'm here. You fucked with the wrong girl and the wrong people. I suggest you fuck off now because not only does it take me a while to heal but I'm ready for your ass. Don't think I'm unprepared like I was just two nights ago. Be ready Tyler" I threw the earpiece to the ground and stomped on it, breaking it completely.

Lui turned the light on. "Lui you're bleeding" I rushed to his side and opened the drawer next to me and opened it to find the first aid kit. "I'll go get help" Mae jumped off the bed and ran out the door. "Wait Mae stop! Mae!" I screamed.  "Lui just wait right here.. lock the door. Here keep this. Please don't leave" I said handing him the gun. I turned around and got on the ground quickly and put my hand under the bed frame looking for the other secret gun. "Wake the others and tell them where they could find the guns at. Only you know." I turned around and looked for Mae. It was so quiet and I thought I'd be hearing her screaming for help by now.

"Mae!" I whispered loudly. I hurried down the steps after I saw it was clear. I turned to my right and saw the front door open widely.

How the fuck did they get on here?

Pretty soon a smoke bomb was thrown in and I was prepared to run. I turned around and started limping away but I felt a stinging shot of pain run up my thigh. I help it and looked around the room holding the gun in my left. "Whoever is here! You're going to pay for this you assholes" I gritted my teeth. Pretty soon I felt another shot of pain in the middle of my shoulder and arm joint. I screamed and dropped my gun. I tried moving away but my thigh gave up making me fall to the floor.

"Lui!" I yelled. "I need help right now.. someone is here" I said in the earpiece that was going to alert the others here shortly. I ripped the thing off of me and saw that the color wasn't green. It was red. "Fuck!" I screamed throwing it. I crawled towards the steps and used my arms to lift me up stair by stair. I heard someone walk into the house which made me move faster and more silent. I bite my lip ignoring the pain on my arm and leg. It hurt so goddamn much holding myself up. My arm was getting more and more numb and weaker. My leg already couldn't take it.

After fully up the steps, I saw a guy in a white suite staring at me struggling at the bottom of the steps. I turned to side and hurried back on my feet and held the walls. "Guys.. guys they're here!" I yelled. I slipped and fell over my own blood and hit the corner of my wall right in front of my room with my head. I held my head and rolled in pain. My vision blurred and I kept myself awake. I seen them coming for me. I just need time to heal. I heard gunshots and I held my ears. I'm dead I just know it.

I shut my eyes tightly and remained hearing those gunshots. I opened my eyes and looked around and saw the people falling to their deaths on the ground. I stared sticking  my head out of the room and saw Vanoss's head pop out from the staircase. I shut my eyes and took a deep breath in relief. I felt more and more people come over. Mini grabbed a thigh, Droid held my back–and Lui just snatched me away. He carried me bridal style down the steps and towards a room. "In here guys. You all get in here.." Lui shouted and placed me on the table. I smiled at how smart he was to wonder around my house that one night.

I yawned and slowly began to shut my eyes. "Lea you got to stay with us.. We are going to help you." Lui took his mask off and hooked me up to a monitor and rushed people around. "Guys guys I'm going to be okay.." I smiled and chuckled as I gripped Vanoss's arm while the bullets were removed.

"Vulture!" The voice in my head echoed as I lie there in the darkness and silence. But only that word echoed in my head. I wondered why it did that.
