A Bond That Can't Be Broken

Hidden Secrets Revealed

Unknown POV
I'm pacing up and down. I'm not worried. I get like this when I'm promised something and it's not given to me. This always used to happen to me, since I was a child. "Where the hell is she?!"I ask impatiently. "She has just arrived sir, but she's drugged since we knew she'd put up a fight,"he says trying to justify the unjustifiable. No, I'm not in love and don't think I'm just one of those people who is lying to himself. I was promised her and I want her.

Hannah POV
I wake up slowly, getting used to the...darkness. I eventually can see vaguely, but it's not the same. It's very different from the man who hated me, he would never put me on a bed. What's going on? Did someone else find me? Ugh my life. Who is this that's after me now?

I walk slowly around the room, and I feel for the light. I finally achieve my goal but it must've been an alarm since someone comes and opens the door immediately after I do so. I back away in order to get a better view. He's a guard, quite handsome. "Are you done staring?"he asks. I look down but ask, "What do you want from me?" My voice quite small as I've been embarrassed. "That's not for me to tell, it's for the boss to tell you,"he says but even he seems uneasy talking about his boss.

"The boss said I can only tell you one thing and that's that, 'You were given into marriage to him by your father,'"he says seriously. "W-what?"I ask as my tears start to fall uncontrollably, "y-you must be mistaken." He just looks at me as if I am dumb. Everyone seems to look at me as if I'm dumb for hoping the best for my life. "Oh and another thing, he thought you'd like to know that your brother arrived,"he says nonchalantly. "Who is this guy?"I ask seriously. "I can't tell you that, he doesn't even know who you are,"he says like it is so normal. "Then how did he find me?"I ask curiously. "We did, he didn't. That'll be all,"he says and walks out confidently after leaving me in a random room.

A few hours or minutes later, the same guard comes and says, "Get up let's go." I am somewhat dragged to meet him. I am shoved into the room with so much force that I stumble into the table and hit my head. I winced. The boss doesn't even say anything. Until he did, "Look at me!" He says with so much force as I struggle to get up. He doesn't even give me a chance to respond, he grabs my chin roughly so I am looking at him. John! Tears fall more readily when I realize who it is, one of my friends, my brother's friends'. Did he even have any idea? Did he care?

"Hannah,"he says, "your brother is waiting to see you downstairs. I don't suggest you keep him waiting." Two guards come up, one stands in front of me and the other behind John. I am heartbroken, I thought he might have some sympathy but who am I kidding, who ever had sympathy for someone in need of saving. "HANNAH!!!" I hear my brothers frantic screams, he is completely unharmed. Weird.

"SHUTUP Timothy!! I'm not in the mood for this. Hannah, if you are to be in our gang we are to do some training,"he says like it is nothing, he has this evil glint in his eyes of inner happiness. He knows my story, he knows everything and he is going to use it against me so he can control me forever. I will forever be under his control with all the knowledge he has. Why? The guards grab me and toss me onto the floor like I am nothing. I wince the pain bearable, I am then kicked and chained to a pole. A very steady pole. "STOP THIS JOHN!!! YOU ARE GOING TO REGRET THIS!!!"I hear my brother screaming in frustration. When the torture starts my screams drown out every ounce of his voice, no matter how loud he was before, I couldn't hear a thing. I, sadly, could still see everything. His tear-stained face crying for my pain, my suffering and my unhappiness. "PLEASE STOP JOHN!! PLEASE!!"I cry for mercy, the one thing he doesn't have for me or anyone, not even his friends. He never actually cared about anyone as can be shown by his current actions.

"Now, because you know what I'm capable of, I'll tell you one thing Hannah. If you don't keep up to that contract, I will kill this brother of yours. It's simple. But at-least you'll have your other brother,"he says thinking it will be comforting, it isn't. My tears fall faster and my sobs quicken, he is my last brother and they are my last family. I nod and immediately my brother's face paled. The next thing, I hear a loud bang. "Nobody move!!" I hear Tobias say but my mind isn't there anymore I'm just heartbroken. I am grabbed roughly and a gun is put to my head but I am not worried because my brother also has a gun to him. I don't want him dead. I don't care what happens to me but he can't die.

"Uh uh, don't come closer or they die. Now, Hannah tell them what you said,"he says seriously as he watches the men step back slightly. I didn't answer so he pressed the gun harder into my temple. "I agreed to marry him,"I say seriously. "Why?"Tobias asks heartbroken. "I'm sorry, but my brother's life is on the line. I just can't see another person die because of me, I rather die,"I say emotionally as I stare at the real man I love with sorrow. I ask for forgiveness as I look him in the eye. All of a sudden, I just hear gunshots but instead of focusing on that, I hurriedly get out of John's grasp and get to my dying brother. It pays off learning some gang stuff, I help stop his blood from coming out. I say, "Stay with me please." I have never begged but I did, and he is still fading away from me slowly. He is dying and I can't do anything else. I lost all sense, I have nothing left to live for, nothing. My mind made up it's own mind and decided that if he can't live then why should I.

I hurriedly try to get up but fail. I fall my final fall and collapsed into darkness. It overtakes me and I feel my last breath leaving me, it isn't easy, it isn't my choice. It is gone, I am gone forever.
