Yours Forever, Dragonfly.

Part 28

S

They brought us into a different room this time. It was large and empty except for the two metal chairs in the middle.

The two goons tied us up real tightly, turned away and left us here. That was about an hour ago.

"Are they hoping to torture us to death with boredom and an achy bottom?" I ask Axel turning my head from the small lonely window that was too high for me to see anything but the blue sky to the man next to me.

Axel turned his tired eyes towards me and quirked a small smile, "probably."

Feel my face soften at his expression I say quietly, "Don't look so hopeless, we are going to get out of here."

He takes in a deep breath his face pinching in pain due to the tight ropes "It's not only that. I just feel like she broke my heart again. Were we not good enough?"

Knowing that she is the reason that he hated me so much in the beginning makes me hate her more. "Axel, she used you and your group, it had nothing to do with you all personally. She is an idiot for letting you five get away from. Honestly, I'm happy she did what she did."

He looks at me sharply and I quickly finish with, "If she hadn't then I would never have met you all and I'm not as stupid as her. I won't take you for granted. Not that you want a relationship with me I'm just saying as friends or whatever you guys-"

Cutting off my embarrassing rambling he asks, "You don't think it's gross that we were all in a relationship together?"

Shaking my head at the ridiculous thought "Love is never gross, Axel. You cannot help who you care for."

With that slight smile but happier eyes he says "Thanks, S. I'm happy we met you too. It's just hard to trust again. How can I know if someone is being genuine or not"

Thinking about my old family I say, "That's the hard part, you don't. You just have to throw it all in if you think they are worth it and hope they feel the same as you."

It's terrifying that over the short period of time I've had gained feelings for all these men.

The foundation of the building shakes and cuts off my thoughts.

"What the hell was that?" I ask in fright while glancing at Axel who has a huge grin on his striking face "that would be our rescue team"

———————-

"Shouldn't they be here by now?" I ask in a slightly disheartened tone. The rope is digging into my skin and my ass is numb. I just want to get out of here and see the boys.

"I'm not sure, Sang." His curt tone echoes across the room while he stares at the door as if willing someone to open it.

Another thirty minutes go by before we hear yelling and shooting. Footsteps get closer and I hold my breath in fear.

Please be the guys. Please let it be them.

The door behind us bursts open before the one in front of us does. All the guys start rolling in and I can't help but exhale in relief. Trying not to give into my emotions at finally seeing them.

Sean and Silas rush towards us and begins to cut off our ropes.

"Oh pookie! Aren't you a sight for sore eyes. We missed you so much. I can see the bruises. Are there any urgent injuries I need to see right away?" Sean asks sternly and I'm about to respond when all doors shut and everyone began to yell.

"Fuck! They herded us to this room like fucking sheep!" Brandon yells out

"Total blackout, can't get through to victor or Corey."

"That means our cameras are useless."

"Where's Luke and Raven?"

"Damnit!"

"GUYS! SHUTTUP!" Axel says loudly and then quietly states "we need to keep our ears open and to think about how we are going to get out of here."

The door opens and people are pushed through while the door shuts again with a loud bang.

"Fuck that hurts." Raven groans out from the floor.

Piled onto the floor is Raven, Corey, and Victor. All are bloody, bruised, and bounded by rope.

North, Marc, and Owen rush over and cut them out while the rest of us walk closer to see what happened. Victor and Corey tell us about how they got hacked and pulled out of the bus before they could let the other Academy teams know that they got caught.

Raven said he lost Luke after grappling with the guards and getting shot in the shoulder.

Corey walks over to me and hugs me from behind. Comforting me with his warmth. I've really needed a hug.

Owen, Kota, and Axel are murmuring to each other. Sean works on Ravens shoulder while Gabriel helps. North, Silas, and Marc are listening to Owen and Axel. Brandon sits next to Nathan and Victor while they talk quietly with his eyes closed and fist clenched.

That's when I hear talking coming from outside one of the doors. Shushing the guys we listen carefully.

"Wait! I think I should go in first and then say you're all fucked or something like that and then you walk in with your dark and broody-ness and-"

"This isn't a fucking play, Kayli."

"Wait but-"

"My god woman do you ever shut up."

"Well jeez you don't have to be so mean, ass hole."

"You're lucky I need you."

Rolling his eyes, Gabriel gets up and shouts "OY! Bitch 1 and bitch 2! We can fucking hear you!" Then he says to us "I'd rather punch myself in the nuts than listen to these two."

The talking immediately stops and Brandon mumbles under his breath "fucking dumbasses."

Looking over I quirk a brow and say "now you know what we have had to deal with."

Jay and the Marie wannabe walk in without preamble one with a blank face and the bitch wears a smug smirk.

They are followed by many guards with guns or I would have come at them like a spider monkey. I've never been more angry in my life. How dare they kidnap us, hurt my friends, and just walk in here looking all fine and dandy.

None of the five look very surprised to see Kayli so, I'm guessing Axel filled them in on that but they look livid.

Jay claps his hands and puts on that fake smile "well, thank you for gathering here today."

Like we've had a fucking choice.

He walks slowly with his hands behind his back and says "You know, if Derrick hadn't tried to send that letter to you all without me knowing this day would have ended quite differently, I think. Luckily, for us, we won't have to worry about such disloyalty from him anymore."

Not knowing what that's about I look over to the guys in confusion but all eyes are on Jay.

"This is the first step against the Academy I have planned. How will they handle the blow of their best teams getting killed by a bomb?" He taps his hand against his chin in mock thought.

Then smiling at us he says "Guess we are just going to have to find out."
