Camping pt 3

" Brendan" Diana sighed, furrowing her eyebrows.

I clench my fists . I hate this guy.  Why would he even kidnapped kacee ?

" We need to find her. We may never know what he will do to her. " Philip said seriously.

This was followed by wise words of William the great, " or we should just wait,  Brendan will probably get irritated by her talking skills and would be forced to leave her. "

"I agree with William,  we were told not to interact with anyone from 9 E in the notice , we will lose our grades." George added.

" Guys , Kacee is in danger,  this ain't a joke. " Philip protested.

I stayed silent throughout this conversation , wondering over my hatred towards him. What got into me that I ran towards the tunnel, the one from where we came from. 

" Ada wait "

My instincts aren't wrong, They tell me to go to Green floor staff room.
I kept running and running,  alone in the darkness,  sounds of footsteps
of my friends following me was all that could be heard in the basement. 
I started climbing up the stairs, as I was crossing stairs,  I heard sound of someone screaming and stopped in my track. Soon,  my friends catches up with me but I stopped them and put a finger on my lips,  signalling them to listen.  That someone was still screaming.

Technically not screaming but cursing.

" You **$**** get me out. "

" I will kick your butt once you untie me. "

" Brinjal head,  you will pay for your deeds. "

" That sounds so Kacee " Diana commented. 

We ran towards the library,  busting through the door and stopped to take a look at Kacee being tied up with ropes to a chair . Brendan who was sitting on the table was now starting at us and slightly smirking. He was
with 5 of his gang mates . My eyes travelled to his right to find those girls.  Riley And Nicky. 

(  Authors note :  They have a long history I will write about someday in Future . Right now for the sake of convenience assume they are my antis)

Brendan came towards me still wearing his smirk. His eyes scanning me from top to bottom . He evily whispered near my ear.

" I told you Ava... you will regret what you did  ."

William couldn't hold his urge to punch him and he did.  He pushed Brendan away from me . His fist landed on Brendan's face. In response
One of Brendan's gangmate held William by his collar and punched him in stomach.

" Stop!! " Philip said. " Let's solve this with negotiations. "

Brendan said, " Then I have a demand. "

" What? "

" Kacee needs to hand over her phone to us "

" What !!!" kacee shouted.

" Lower your voice hostage !" Brendan ordered in heavy husky voice.

That was a good deal.  Safe and no fight but I know kacee won't agree. Her lifeline is her phone.

" Neither I will lower my voice nor I will give you my goddamn phone "

I was angered by her stupidity, " Just handover your Goddamn phone Kacee. "

" Ava I won't.  Why would he kidnap me in first place and now he is demanding for my phone. "

George joined in, " Kacee hand it over. "

" No need George. This Deal is over. " Brendan said,

." Here is the new Deal,  anyone from your team can play a game with me. 
We two will search for a book in this library. If the member of your team wins,  kacee may go but if I win she stay. "

" How will we decide book" Diana interrogated.

Brendan chuckled, " Calm down Diantha,  we will pick it up at random, the first book written in the books list of library will be the book we search for. "

" My name is Diana Mr. "

I moved to pick up the list and found out the book's name .
I read it loud,
" The hate you give "

I have read this book. I can find it easily .

" So who is coming from your team? " Brendan questioned.

" Me" I said.

Brendan said, " Rest of you... out of the library "

They did what was told. Philip said,
" Best of luck Ava. "

" Put me down you crackheads. " I turn to find Brendan's  friend carrying Kacee's chair on their shoulder. Soon there was just 2 of us in library. 

" Shall we began. " Brendan said and I nodded. 

I tried to stay as far away from him as possible. I searched through columns ,flipping every book on shelf.  I couldn't find it.  I got frustrated and turned my head to Side.  I saw something.

That's it.

I sprinted towards it , unfortunately it was on top most column.

I was so near it until I felt a tight grip on my wrist. It kept getting tighter and  pain arose within my body. I wanted to scream loud in pain  .
But he didn't care....

" Trying to get the book in my presence ..... You got guts. "

He pulled me away from the shelf and threw me at the wall. His hands still holding on my wrist , getting tighter and tighter.  He slammed his other hand hard on the wall , right next to my face . I was getting afraid now.  My wrist, my backbone everything hurted like hell.

" Do you regret your actions....Ava Johnson. " He said in deep and dark whisper.

I was afraid of him and his actions ,my legs were noodles, I could barely stand in them. Tears were threatening to fall out of my eyes. I replied,

" No. "

He raised his hand which was previously on the wall to hit me.  I flinched at it, closing my eyes

His fist didn't met my face.

I opened them to find his eyes soften.  He didn't hit me,  however threw me on the floor and moved to get the book.
Still lying in floor,  I grabbed his feet.
"Wha-"
Before he could finish,  I pulled him down on the floor.  I quickly got up from floor and climbed the book shelf like I climbed the iron bar gate previously. Once in my hand,  I screamed my lungs out, 

" I, Ava,  got the book. " Everyone came rushing in library. 

I jumped down the shelf and ran to my friends. I untied kacee and we got out of there. Walking back to camp I walked with Diana and Philip

" Ava......" Diana called me.

" Hmmmm.... "

" You have a bruise on your wrist and tears in your eyes.... "

I checked my wrist to find a dark blue bruise on it.  I looked up blinked my eyes a few times to control my tears.  Philip who was walking right beside us saw it too.

Philip held my wrist up and examined it,
" that guy will pay for it"
