There Will Be Lies || COMPLETED

25

-Olivia-

I abruptly woke up to find myself handcuffed to the chair of a car, Marshall next to me, in the driver's seat.

"Great, you're awake. And just in time too because we're here."

He parked outside what looked like a large, abandoned warehouse, in a remote location, somewhere in the countryside.

How long was I unconscious?

My head ached and my throat still felt sore, but once he uncuffed me, I managed to drag myself out of the car and walked to the entrance of the warehouse.

"Is Blake here?" I whispered, although I definitely knew the answer.

"Yep," Marshall nonchalantly replied. "And this is where you will kill him... if you choose to do so."

He opened the door of the warehouse and we entered inside.

My mind was still in such a daze over what had just happened, that I almost stumbled on a crate: "I can't believe you drugged me."

Marshall laughed, "If you weren't so stubborn I wouldn't have done so."

I shook my head in disbelief, then froze as we got nearer to one of the rooms inside the warehouse.

I could hear Blake's voice.

Without a second glance at me, Marshall burst into the room, leaving me standing alone by the door.

I peeked inside and saw not only Blake but the rest of his family, all tied up and looking distraught.

Blake had angry expression on his face and his dark hair was a mess.

No. I can't go in there...

Suddenly, Marshall gestured to me, and said: "You can come in now."

With no other choice, I slowly paced inside the room against my will, unable to look Blake in the eye.

He sucked in a breath and whispered: "Tessa?" Making my heart break.

I looked up slowly and met his gaze, "Blake, I..."

"Tessa!" Toby gasped.

"What are you doing here?" Blake demanded, the hurt clear in his face.

"Well... I—"

I didn't know what to say.

Marshall broke the agonizing silence, and grinned slyly, "Well Blake, I'm afraid this girl has been hiding some things from you..."

"What?" Blake replied, then turned to me, pain clear on his face. "What does he mean Tessa? Please tell me the truth."

"Tessa isn't my real name - it's actually Olivia," I whispered, my emotions taking over, making me almost unable to speak.

Blake gaped at me, angry tears brimming in his eyes, "Ok, Olivia, answer my question. What are you doing here?"

Before I could reply, Marshall interrupted: "She's going to kill you. Isn't that right Olivia?"

I nodded, tears running down my cheeks.

Harper shrunk against the wall, unable to look at my face.

"Oscar was right, I should've listened to him." Blake muttered quietly. "Everything was a lie wasn't it?" Blake spat out in hatred. "You never liked me or any of us. You only wanted to get close to me, so you could kill me."

"You have to understand!" I said desperately. "Marshall is going to kill my family if I don't do this."

"I can't believe this is happening..." He replied.

Blake's dad shook his head and muttered quietly, "This is all my fault..."

"No it isn't, Aiden," Blake's mum said sadly in reply.

Marshall whipped his head round to look at Blake's dad maliciously, "Yes it is."

What is going on?

Aiden shook his head, looking defeated: "You know it is. Lucas, just kill me instead."

"Who's Lucas?" I asked, feeling confused.

"Oh right. I forgot that you don't know, do you?" Marshall said, thoughtfully.

"Don't know what?" Blake questioned in a shaken tone.

"I am Lucas," Marshall replied in a satisfied manner, making my mouth opened wide in shock. "And Aiden is my brother."
