(Pic is of Mr.Sadie/Rich).
I had been sat there for about an hour after they had tied me up when I noticed someone by the open crack in the door. My eyes widened when I saw that it was Rider. He mouthed, I'm going to get you out. I shook my head lightly, not wanting him to get hurt. It was then that I noticed the huge bruise across his cheek and that the side of his head was blood-stained. I gasped and looked at how painful that must have been for him.
He said something else that I couldn't tell but then, before I knew it, he was crawling silently over to me. I was right in the corner, so Rider wasn't in their direct sight but any sound or if they looked behind them, he would be done for. He made it over to me and exhaled deeply. He slowly pulled the tape off my mouth but put his finger up to his lips. Understanding, I nodded in response. He quietly attempted to untie my hands but they were so tight that they had made my hands go blue. He silent-cursed and started pulling at the rope with all the strength that he had left.
Just as he was about to break me free, I heard Rider gasp and looked behind me to see that Tom had his hand on Rider's shoulder. "YOU SNEAKY BASTARD!" Tom violently pushed Rider onto the floor and got on top of him. He began punching him. "NO!" I screamed and flung towards the man who was beating the most important person in my life up. I had just managed to untie myself and grabbed Tom's shoulders and attempted to pull him off. He stopped and shoved me into Mr.Sadie who picked me up and shoved me into a cupboard. Rapidly, I banged on the door as hard as I could but they were muffled by the men shouting and cursing at my brother. I heard things like, "HOW THE FUCK DID YOU GET OUT YOU BITCH?" and "YOU LITTLE SHIT, YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD GET PAST US?!" I thought of how scared Rider must have been out there with 6 men screaming at him and hurting him. I started crying because I knew that it was all my fault. Suddenly, I heard loud footsteps echoing down the stairs. Everyone went silent and Rider started coughing violently. "What the fuck is going on?!" It was Sarah's voice. They briefly explained what had happened and Rider started saying my name in a scratchy voice. I answered screaming his name back and punching the door. "SHUT THE HELL UP BOTH OF YOU!" Killian said as his hit the door back at me. "You put the girl in the cupboard?" She said. "Yeah, it was the nearest place to put her." Her husband replied.
"Look, I'll take the girl, you guys deal with the boy and then I'll finish them both up."After a few minutes, someone unlocked the door and I fell out onto the floor. "Get up, girl." I slowly got up and opened my eyes, hiccuping from crying so much. "You're coming with me."
