-------------------

I slowly walk through the abandoned house.

"Jake" I call. There are few objects in the house - but the objects that were scattered around had scorch marks. I find Chris sitting on a chair tied up in front of a back wall in the darkroom "Chris!"

I run towards him.

"Not another step!" Jack walks in front of me.

I look up to see Jake with a smirk and folded arms.

"Let me put him in a cab and I'll do whatever you want" I tell him.

"No, Angel" Chris struggles to say in the distance.

"You honestly think I'll let him go that easily?" Jake takes a step closer.

Fuck.

"We had a deal" I clench my jaw, "me for him"

"Yeah, I changed my mind" he smirks.

No. No. No. No.

I can't. I can't let anything happen to him.

"You asshole" my heart rate increases in anger.

"I do understand why you're Jonathan's favourite," he tells me "you have the same fire that he does"

"Please just let him go" I beg "you have no use for him! I'm the one you want!"

"Yes you are" he walks towards Chris before pulling out a switchblade. He pulls Chris's hair towards him, before sliding his knife across his neck slowly "I want you to suffer and I know that the only way I can do that is by hurting someone you love"

This is it.

He's going to put a bullet through each of our skulls and bury us in the desert somewhere - where they won't find our bodies for thirty years when some construction crew decided to build a bunch of casinos.

"Stop!" I beg and surprising he does.

Jake drops him before taking a few steps back with a satisfied look.

"Angel" Chris struggles to say.

I look over to Chris. Why is he calling me Angel? I furrow my brows, walking slowly toward him. The man looks up at me and grins. My eyes widen.

"What the hell is wrong with you!" I scream at Jake.

"I did have you fooled for a sec there, didn't I?" He laughs, "your covers blown Dennis"

Suddenly the man impersonating Chris, stands up from the chair. He walks beside Jake, underneath the light. It's Jakes little brother Dennis.

He's actually insane.

It's official ladies and gents, I'm trapped in a room with two fucking psychopaths.

"Drop the pistol" a new voice orders as entering the room.

"Damn you took your time" I hiss as looking at the woman in the distance.

The truth is, two hours is enough time to make a plan.

"And you are?" Jake folds his arms.

"You don't remember me?" she says with her 22 Magnum pointed directly at him. "Oh I'm offended"

"Ah Sage" Jake nods "I'll recognize that ass anywhere"

Sage is nineteen had dark brown hair with grey dyed tips, grey eyes, winged eyeliner, and a confident smirk. We have been best friends since birth, I cannot believe that I've gone this long without her.

"Angel" Sam looks at me as entering the room.

"You brought him" I throw my hands in the air.

For fuck sake.

She had one job.

"I couldn't get rid of him" Sage admits.

"Stop right there" Jake orders as pointing his gun at me, "Or I swear I'll kill her"

"Please just let them go" I beg.

"But the party has just began," Jake says.

"Jake please!" I beg.

I can't let three people die because of me. I can't handle it.

"Drop the gun" Jake tells Sage.

"To hell, I will" she hisses with a firm gaze.

"I'll put a bullet between her eyes" he threatens, making her drop her Magnum.

Sage, you tried your best old friend.

"Where's Chris?" Sam calls from the distance beside Sage.

"He's not here, he never was" I admit, "Jake was just saying that to get me here"

"You have her gun so now let them go," I tell Jake.

"No I don't think so" Jake shakes his head.

"Jake what was your grand plan? Get me here then what?" I cock a brow.

"Put some bullets through you for getting me put away" he narrows his eyes. "But now that your friends are here, I have some new targets to play with"

No, he can't. I won't let him kill any of these people. I rather he kill me.

"No, I'm the one you want, not them" I remind him, "do what you want with me but let them go"

"Fine, suit yourself" Jake says.

"No!" Sam screams.

Jake points the gun at me and pulls the trigger, just has Sam pushed me out of the way. I fall to the floor and watch as The bullet hits Sam's arm. Jake takes a step closer to Sam and takes another shot. This time, the bullet hits his chest, and he drops to the floor.

"No!" I cry at the top of my lungs as running to his side.

No.

No.

No.

My hands shake to an uncontrollable rate as tears begin pouring as they have never before. My throat burns as adrenaline begins pumping.

"Uhh yes, this is much better" Jake admits, "you live and get to watch him die. You get to live the rest of your life knowing that your responsible for his death. How poetic" with that Jake begins walking through the house.

"Freeze police" a voice orders as I hear several footsteps running towards us.

"You're okay, you're okay" I nod as attempting to stop the blood with my fingertips, causing his blood to stain my clothing.

"Angel" he starts as losing consciousness.

"Stay with me! Don't you dare shut your eyes" I beg.

I can't lose him. It's always been Sam and I. I don't know life without him.

"Ma'am please stand away from the victim" someone orders.

"Come on Angel" Sage pulls me out of the way.

I take a step back.

"three two one lift," another says as they lift him on to a stretcher and begin wheeling him outside to the ambulance.

I grow frantic as I stand outside the ambulance.

"Don't leave me here alone Sam!" I cry "I'm not ready to lose you!"

At that moment two paramedics begin doing something to Sam, with the intention to slow down the bleeding and keep him conscious.

The doors shut as I stand beside Sage.
