Bad vs Bad

Chapter 25

Cayden's p.o.v

I really hope she will like it. What if she hates it? What will I do then?

My heart began to race as we got closer to the place, I had decided to take her. This place means so much to me with both happy and horrible memories, and I hope this one will add to the happy. I'm so happy I could jump around an pure excitement. We walked a little further until the yet so familiar but still stunning view. The waterfall's water was blue as it never have been before and the trees were still green.

"Can you take this thing off me soon?" I heard Valeska's voice say pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Sure"

I positioned her so she would see everything at once before taking her blindfold off. I heard a gasp escape her lips as she took in the view. My nerves began beating me up as she didn't say anything.

"It's... Gorgeous" she finally got out.

I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in as she said those words.

"Come on" I said as I took her hand.

We began walking towards the table I have set up just to see that nothing that I had put there was there, instead stood a small, framed picture on the table. As we got closer I saw that the picture was of me, and my brother. The picture was taken on his last birthday and I remember the day as if it was yesterday. In front of the picture was a note saying to watch out.

"Well, well, what do we have here?" someone said and I could feel Valeska tense up beside me.

Valeska's p.o.v

Ziko's voice rang through my head and I knew he wasn't alone. I was ripped away from Cayden and the person took a steady grip around my throat.

"How's Angelina doing?" he said teasing.

My blood ran cold as the mention of Angelina. It was her so called 'father', my rapist. I can't believe that he came all the way from Australia just to tell me that, please Steven.

"Valeska, my precious sister, I see what you have been up to these past weeks" Ziko said looking over at Cayden who was now fuming with anger.

"Cayden, I see you like the picture I brought for you. Brings back some memories, doesn't it? It's such a shame Cyle (Kyle, just a different spelling) had to go so early"

"I told you to stay away from him Valeska, why do you never listen?!"

I was thrown against him only to meet his slap in the movement. Cayden was about to charge at Ziko but two guys held him down.

"Let her go!" Cayden shouted at Ziko.

"No, Ziko, leave him, it's only want me, leave him out of this"

"What did you call me, whore?!"

"I-I'm s-sorry, Sir" I said as I curled myself into a ball trying to shield my body from the kicks he threw at me.

"STOP HURTING HER!!!"

Cayden's pleas was echoing in my head when dizziness began entering my system. The kicks stopped abruptly and Ziko crouched down to my level and I lifted my head to meet his eyes.

"You look horrible, sis" he chuckled and punched my cheek making my lip burst and my mouth filled with a metallic taste who is way to familiar. Blood.

Because it was some time since I got hit it hurt extra bad since my body wasn't numb anymore. He stood up and pushed my face into the ground with his foot, applying a dangerous amount of pressure.

"Wait a sec, you don't like water, don't you?" he said and lifted my head up by my hair.

My eyes widen at his comment.

Shit, he remembers.

And I can't swim.
