Revenge

AXTONS POV:
My trip to Rylee's hometown was cut short. Her parents heard rumours that I was in town and their gang were hot on my trail. I had no choice but to return home.
Leaving Rylee with Zander wasn't really what I had in plan. But Zander insisted that he could watch over her for me.
I knocked on the front door of my house, after finding it locked. Zander must've locked it to keep Rylee from running. The whole time I was gone, I couldn't stop thinking about Rylee and how mad she makes me.
I stood impatiently at the door, prepared to bang on the door once again but the door swung open and there stood Zander. He looked a bit disappointed about seeing me.
"Hey Ax, you're back early." He said curiously.
"Yeah the Knight gang were keeping tabs on me whilst I was in town." I said walking past Zander inside. I looked around trying to spot Rylee but she was nowhere in sight.
"Where's rylee? Did she cause any trouble" I asked Zander.
Zander chuckled and spoke, "she tried escaping yesterday so I punished her. Then this morning  she was disrespecting your parents saying that they deserved whatever they got and I did too. So I tied her up downstairs." He lied.
I was fuming, how could she say that, I thought that maybe she was different from her parents but I guess I was wrong. She's just the same and she deserves whatever's coming her way.
"Thanks Zander for watching her, you can leave now." I said to Zander, anger still in my tone.
I watched as Zander walked up the stairs and was out of sight. I marched towards the basement door, anger now pumping through my veins.
I swung the door opened and walked down the stairs. I was expecting to see her laying on the ground with a smirk on her face, but what I saw instead shocked me. Her body was surrounded by rope and she hung from the ceiling. Tears stained her cheeks and she had red welts all over her body. Her mouth was gagged and her red eyes starred into mine, pleading me.
I shook the thought of her innocence away and instead glared at her with hatred. Her parents at the reason mine are dead.
"You tried to escape." I stated, "I told you that I would punish you a lot worse when I got home if you did something you shouldn't have."
I grabbed the pocket knife that was strapped to my waist and walked closer to her.
I flicked the blade out in front of her and then cut the ropes. She dropped to the ground like dead weight and with her head down I heard her yelp of pain.
