Best Friend

Chapter 3: Blake

She hasn't shown up for school all week. I can't find her anywhere and it's driving me insane. I sat down at my lunch table with all the football players and cheerleaders. I had the head cheerleader on my lap kissing my neck every once in a while. One of the football players, Robbie, was sitting next to me. He is a silent person, only giving his opinion every once in a while. He was also new and from the town over.

Today is Friday and tomorrow will be Mia's boxing match. I can't believe she fights and what I saw at the diner Monday night tells me she's pretty good at it.

"Hey, can any of y'all tell me the story of Mia after I left?" I asked them.

They all looked at me like I was crazy, except for Robbie.

He turned toward me, "After you left Mia was okay for awhile. She talked, hung out with her friends, and went to parties but she wasn't all in like she used to. Her sophmore year her parents died, murdered, by thugs. After that she completely isolated herself. You never called and all she had was her brother, Pattie and her aunt. That year she was kidnapped by the thugs that killed her parents. Nobody knows what happened to her while she was in there. When the cops finally found her she was beatened to death, starved, and they think she was raped once but they couldn't find out because she wouldn't let them touch her. She started getting into fighting and she was good at it, even better than her brother. She started doing matches in the gym and scouts were begging to have her fight professionally but she wanted to go to college first. Nobody messes with the Night family because if you do you'll end up having hell delivered to you on a silver platter," he told us. We all looked at him shell shocked.

"Is there anything else?" I asked.

"The Night family has a gang. They were born into it and people want to kill them and they are not going to stop until they are dead."

"How do you now all this?"

"I'm Robbie Night, the little brother that was sent to England to study and kept in secret so if they did get killed I will still be alived to live the legacy," he simply said.

"Why are you telling us this?" One of the cheerleaders asked. "We already know about the gang but why everything else?"

"Because if I hear another nasty word about my siblings coming out of y'all's mouth, imma gives you hell."

"Robbie!" A voice yelled through our silence.

We all turned to see Mia and her older brother Jace coming toward us.

"Mia!" Robbie jumped up and went to go hug his sister.

Robbie's POV

I hugged my sister tight not ever wanting to let go.

"I missed you so much Rob," she mumbled in my shoulder.

I let go to look at my older brother. Jace grinned at me and ruffled my hair.

"Welcome home kiddo," he says.

"Don't call me that," I told him.

"Whatever," he rolled his eyes.

We walked out of the cafeteria and to the parking lot. There was running coming from behind us. We turned around to see Blake coming toward us. Mia went stiff and Jace put his arm around her. Her expression went cold as he approach.

"Mia please, can we talk?" He asked.

"No." She says emotionless.

"Why?" He asked.

"Ask yourself the same question and then come talk to me," she replied and with that we walked to Jace's truck and got in. Mia squeezed in the middle of us not saying a word until we got home. Her expresseion was cold and menacing. She wanted to kill.

"Do we have anyone to interrogate?" She asked stoicly.

"Yes and he's all yours if you promise not to kill him," Jace said.

When we got to the house we hopped out and she replied, "No promises."

We walked through the door and down to the basement where the cells are. There was a guy there, tied to a chair in the middle of the big cell.

"Well if it isn't the Night siblings and I see you have a new, secret addition," the man said.

Mia walked towards him grabbing a blade from the table by the cell. She unlocked the door and stepped in.

"We can do this the hard way or the easy way," she said. "Your choice. Who sent you?"

"That will be blowing up my cover litlle girl," he replied. "Why should I tell you?"

"Because your life is in my hands and I'm really blood thirsty right now. I will torture you and you will die slowly and painfully and I will still sleep peacefully, not regretting that I have the Snakes best fighter's blood in my hand. Its your choice. I could always go after your family too," she said casually. "I'll start with your wife, then I'll go to your 18 year old kid and then your little daughter will be watching the whole thing and she'll turn into me but when she does I'll kill her and bring you their heads and then kill you. How does that sound?" Mia said coldly looking into the mans eyes.

My heart was leaping in excitement.

"So I ask you again. Who sent you?" Mia asked. "I know it wasn't your boss because I already paid a little visit with him. He's still alive for now though. I suggest you start talking."

"No," he said.

She quickly flicked the knife and sliced him on the right cheek and the his left cheek. Then she sliced his arms a few times. Mia stabbed one knife in his left leg and another knife in his right leg. She grabbed another knife leaving those other two in his legs. He was crying out in pain.

"Are you gonna talk now?" I asked stepping into the cell with Jace.

He starred at me mencingly. I grabbed the knife in his right leg and twisted it making him cry out.

"Your cries are like music to my ears," I said smugly.

Jace nodded at Mia to come forth. She put the knife at the man's throat and held it securely there.

"You have 10 seconds to tell me who sent you here," she said. "10...9...8...7...6...5...4.." Mia was making a trail to his main artery.

"...2-" She was interrupted.

"Okay!" He yelled. "It was the Black Shadows. I owed them a favor and they wanted the girl captured so they can finish what they've started a couple years ago." He cried out.

Mia let go of him, pulled the knives out of his legs and walked out of the basements.

"Go get the medic and check on her," Jace ordered.

I went upstairs to do so. The medic was already on his way down and then I went upstairs to find Mia. She was in her room sitting there silently. I walked in and sat by her side.

"I want to kill them," she said.

"Did they rape you Mia?" I asked.

"No, not yet anyways," she replied. "If the cops wouldn't have found me they would've and I would've been dead. They did touch me though, like I was one of their hookers."

We sat silently for awhile.

"Did you tell Blake?" She asked.

"Yes," I replied.

"Thank you."

I nodded in acknowledgement. We shifted so we laid in the bed. Jace came in and laid down on the other side of Mia, holding her like I was.

"We will stop them and we will kill them Mia," he said. "Together."

People just don't know how much hell we can give them.
