1| WAKE UP LITTLE ONE ( zalfie)

Chapter 29

Zoe's POV

The ropes loosened on my wrists and, keeping my hands behind my back so as not to draw attention to myself, shook them to bring feeling back into them.

I looked behind me, but the person who'd untied me was gone. But I knew what she wanted me to do. I took a deep breath. This could get me killed, but it was for my brother.

First I quickly untied the ropes around my ankles, shook my feet and then leapt up.

"Hey Jacksgap!" I trilled.

"Ugh," Jack said, and walked over to me and threw me over his shoulder as if I was a feather.

"I didn't think it'd have to come to this Jack but..." Finn stopped poking Joe with the tip of the knife, placed it down on the edge of the seat and came and tied all of us up, arms and legs, and propped us against the wall, in the perfect position to watch Joe die.

My gag had fallen off when i'd gotten up, but I couldn't risk Jacksgap overhearing the plan, so

I didn't let any of the others know. Jack and Finn walked back over to Joe and traced his chest with the knife. Finn slit his shirt open and ripped it off, showing the bruises and wounds underneath.

As they poked his stomach with the knife, I saw beads of blood appearing. Where was the person who'd untied me when you needed them?

"Stop!" I cried, trying to stall, but the twins just glared at me and continued pressing the knife into Joe's smooth skin.

"Hope you're ready to die, Joe," Finn snarled.

"I should be asking you the same question!" cried a voice from above, and a black shape dropped onto the twins, bringing them to the ground.

They cried out in pain as the saviour used a rope to tie their hands behind their back. They put their head up and their hood fell down to reveal, shiny ombré hair. It was Elise.

Was it over? No, of course not. The door was burst open and the twin's army of buff bodyguards fell into the room.

Elise stood up to her full height. She was petite, so it wasn't very tall, but after seeing her tackle the twins twice, I knew not to underestimate her.

"You dare hurt my friends?" she growled at them.

"Oh no, now we'll have to deal with the wrath of the tiny pretty doll," mocked the head bodyguard.

"This doll's taken karate since she knew how to walk," Elise said, her blue eyes blazing with a fire I'd never seen in her before.

"Yeah, she looks like it," the bodyguards teased.

"I'd slap you, but I don't want to make your face look any better. Instead I think I'll hurt your big fat ego by destroying you in a fight. I may not look like much, but hurt my friends and you'll pay," Elise snarled.

"I can't wait to see you...Hmm... what is it... Oh yes..."

"FAIL!" the bodyguards yelled at each other and high fived.

"Nobody asked for your life story," Elise said, batting her eyelashes. "Will you hurry your ass up because I haven't got all day here."

The bodyguard rolled his eyes and walked over to Elise, towering over her. He smiled, as if it would be easy, and took her wrist, rolling his eyes, expecting to get her to the ground in one movement.

But Elise's fire was still burning, and she grabbed the bodyguard's thick arm in her tiny hands and in one swift movement hauled him off the ground, over her shoulder and slammed him into the ground. With a swift kick to the head, he fell instantly unconscious.

Elise brushed her hands off and smiled sweetly at the rest of them.

"I've been doing this for ages. Blackmailing until I was told where you dumbasses took my friends," Elise said.

"B-B-but..Wh-what?" The bodyguards were lost for words, as if it was impossible that little Elise had beaten the hugest monster of a man in a fight.

"I think the words you're looking for are Barbie-1, Ogres-0," Elise's eyes narrowed.

The bodyguards grunted and charged towards Elise. Elise easily kneed one where the sun don't shine, the kicked him hard in the stomach so he flew across the room, hit his head on the stone wall and slid down it in a crumpled head on the floor. She delivered a swift kick to the next one's shoulder, which had been rumoured to paralyse someone, and sure enough, he fell unmoving to the floor.

She put the next one in a head lock, but, being a muscly man, he picked her up above his head and made to slam her into the ground, but she wrapped her legs around his neck, kicked him square in the stomach and did a backflip onto the ground. While he clutched his stomach, winded, she took the opportunity to kick his ankles so he hit the floor, and jump on his head till he blacked out.

The last guy pinned Elise against the wall, his hands around her throat. When her head hit the wall, her eyes fluttered closed. It was hard.

"NO!" everyone cried as she fell to the floor.

Elise was unconscious. She'd beaten Jacksgap, four muscular men and many outside the basement but had been defeated by one. We were goners. Because the bodyguard had just untied Jack and Finn and now they both stood, arms crossed, in front of us.
