Lets begin the game

chapter 16

Nicos pov.:

It has been some hours since we returned to the house. I haven't seen Cora since she looked like this demonic angel covered in blood. It was a rather terrific sight, which I wish to never see again.

How.....How is it possible that one person is so....so inhuman. So....so atrocious. Her eyes looked absolutely lifeless. There was no trace of that girl with whom I spoke the other day. This...this was a completely other person.

I walk out of my room and I stroll to the kitchen. There's Keith calmly sipping on his coffee. ''Keith how do you do this? How can you be so calm after what just happened?''  He shrugs ''After a while, you get used to it. You just can't take it too personally'' I scoff ''Keith how can't I take it personally? We just freaking killed, three men!''

''First, we didn't kill them. It was Cora. Second, they set us up and to be respected in this business you can't accept that.'' I sigh and I bury my head in my hands. I feel Keiths hands on my shoulders ''Nico, don't worry. Everything is going to be ok. You'll get used to it''

I look up ''What do you think will happen now?'' He murmurs ''Probably find out which fucker stole our shipment and then Cora is gonna make him regret it.''

Abruptly Cora storms into the kitchen fuming ''We found out who stole our shipment. Those assholes are doing this on purpose so they can get what they want. UGH, I SWEAR I AM GONNA TEAR THEM APART AND DESTROY THEM. THEY WILL REGRET IT THAT THEY WERE BORN AND MESSED WITH THE FREAKING KNOXX''

Keith tenses up ''Who was it?'' She answers repugnantly ''The al'afdal gang'' She paces anxiously around the kitchen ''You know what?! It's decided. They gotta go. We leave for the attack in 1 week. I need every fighter that there is"

As fast as she came into the kitchen, she disappears again. I turn around to face Keith: "Is this good or bad?"

A sad and pained expression glistens in his eyes "It's gonna be dangerous for sure. Even more since we are going to try to take down the al'afdal gang. There's a high possibility of people of our gang dying in this fight. We have never achieved to finish a fight with another gang without loosing someone. This lifestyle always requires sacrifices, some are bigger and some are smaller"

Coras pov:

THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS! WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE?! DO THEY REALLY THINK THEY CAN JUST ROB ME WITHOUT FACING ANY CONSEQUENCES?! OHHH NOOO!

I WILL RIP THEIR THROATS OUT AND MASSACRE THEM ALL TILL NONE OF THEM ARE LEFT. FIRST THEY TRY TO MAKE AN IMPOSSIBLE DEAL WITH ME.

LIKE THEY REALLY THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE SOME OF MY WOMEN TO THEM SO THEY COULD TURN THEM INTO SEX SLAVES?!

AND NOW THEY ROBBED ME BECAUSE THOSE SPOILED BITCHES CAN'T DEAL WITH A NO.

THEY ARE SO GOING TO REGRET IT, THAT THEY MESSED WITH THE KNOXX. I WILL TURN THEIR EXISTENCE INTO ASHES SO NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW THEY EXISTED.

IT WILL BE AN EXAMPLE FOR ALL THOSE TINY ASS GANGS THAT THINK THEY CAN PLAY WITH THE BIG LEAGUE!

I pace around in my room completely filled with this huge anger, that I haven't felt in years.

The door flies open and a surprisingly calm Hunter enters my room. He holds up two cups with tea in them and grins like a doofus.

"What are you doing here? Do you want something?" I hiss.
Shrugging he sits down on my bed "Nah. I just wanted to see how you were doing"

He pats the spot next to him on my bed and I sigh. Slowly I sit next to him.

"I brought you some tea, since I know it calms you down" I take one cup and take a sip.

"Thanks" With a worried expression on his face, he sighs "Cora. Everything is going to be ok"

I shake my head and I spat "I hope so" He takes my hand in his and looks deep into my eyes "We're going to do this and we are going to triumph"

I stand up and I look back at Hunter before I leave my room "We're going to erase them"

Ryders pov:

Cora storms into my room, telling me to pack my things.

She looks so drained and tired. She probably didn't sleep the whole night. She's completely out of control. She' s throwing some clothes on my bed, she is looking around like a wild animal and extremely hyperventilating.

I grab her by her shoulders and make her look at me "Cora! Stop! You are going to drive yourself insane. You need some rest. Go to sleep! I'll handle everything"

Her lower lip is quivering and she looks right into my eyes "No! I can do it and I won't let you pity me. I don't need you"

She gets out of my grip and slowly walks backwards "I can do it all by myself. I'm strong and independent" 

It sounded more like she was telling this to herself than she was telling me these things. I take a step forward and I have this pleading look in my eyes. 

"Cora c'mon. Don't shut me out. You always do this! It fucking makes me feel so useless, so please just let me help you once. 

She sighs and looks like she's considering it. Please, I really want to help her. I hate seeing her like this. Suddenly she lowers her gaze and I see how her shoulders relax. 

I walk to her and luckily she doesn't bulges. I softly wrap my arms around her but she just stands there. At least I'm making progress, she normally just rushes out of the room and slams the door. But now she's letting me hug her, even tho she's not hugging me back.

Suddenly she wiggles herself out of my hug and silently walks out of my room. Before she closes the door, she stops and looks back at me. "Thanks Ryder, I'm sorry that I always shut you out. It's just.... I hate when other people get involved in my stuff, even tho I know, I would never make it if  you guys wouldn't help me.

Hey guys! 

I'm so sorry for letting you wait soooo long for a kind of boring filler chapter. 

I didn't really have inspiration and I wasn't really motivated on continuing. But now I thought, I should give this book another try. 

Writing a book isn't as easy as I thought. But I kinda love to invent new stories, even tho there aren't a lot of peeps who read my book. 

I'm especially apologizing to @j45747 that commented so much and asked me to pls not forget about her and other peeps who read my book. Sorry for taking so long!

Hugs and kisses
