Lost Without You

18.

*that night*

As I'm sitting on my bed, looking at a couple of pictures of Five and I, I hear clattering come from downstairs, making me look up from the picture.

I sit in silence for a moment, waiting for more noises.

What was that?

Suddenly, I hear gunfire, making my eyes widen.

I quickly set the pictures back on Five's nightstand safely underneath, rushing out of his room and glancing around.

"Hello," I say, nervously.

I hear footsteps, making me look over to see two people in tuxedo's wearing kids masks standing at the other end of the hall. They shoot at me, but I quickly knock the bullets away, before they can come near me.

"What the hell," The woman in the kid's mask says, confused. I quickly dash down the hall, when someone grabs me, pulling me into a room. Diego presses his finger against my lips to keep me quiet.

"Stay here." I slowly nod, before he leaves the room, attacking one of them.

I can't just hide here. Screw that.

I leave the room when someone grabs me from behind. I focus on the person's hands, and I feel them release me. I spin around, throwing them across the room. 

"Come on," I say, grabbing Diego's hand. I pull him along, and we dodge the bullets, jumping over the balcony, landing on the couch.

He pulls me behind the bar, and I take a deep breath. I glance up at the picture of Reginald to see some bullet holes in his painting.

I hear footsteps, making me glance under the bar to see them standing in the doorway. Diego taps me, before gesturing towards our left. I nod, and he starts to move when they shoot at him. I pull him back, making the bullets miss him.

After a couple of seconds, the gunfire stops, making me peak out to see Luther standing in the doorway. I sigh in relief, standing up, when I see one of the people grab Allison, making me clench my fists in anger.

I focus on the person's hand, before clenching my teeth. They suddenly scream in pain, releasing Allison. Luther grabs the person, tossing them out of the room and into another one. I peak out of the room to see them both on the floor, looking at each other.

"Who the hell are these guys," Allison gasps.

"I don't know, but I want them out... now," I admit, when I hear the gunfire again. We duck dow, before Luther pushes us along.

"Get out of here now! Go."

"Wait... What about Vanya," Allison says.

"I got her," I say.

"Me too," Luther adds. Luther and I split away from Allison and Diego, and we head back when I hear someone hit the floor.

"Hey, asshole," Luther says, making the guy turn around to see us standing a few feet from him. He starts towards us, and I slide out of the way.

The guy spins the ball and chain around, trying to hit Luther, but Luther catches it with ease, tossing it aside.

The man picks up Luther, slamming him against the ground. "Yoo-hoo," I say, making him turn around.

"You think you take me," He laughs. He reaches towards me, but I quickly back up, lifting his body off the ground and throwing it across the room. I watch as he hits the wall before I speak.

"Vanya, get out of here," I say. She rushes out of the room, as the guy stands back up, walking towards me.

Shit... I don't think I can lift that asshole back up. I can feel myself getting weaker. 

I wince at the pounding in my head, as blood runs out of my nose.

Luther suddenly knocks the guy to the ground, stepping on his back, making it crack.

"Vanya," Luther says, walking towards the doorway.

I notice the man suddenly jump up, making my eyes widen. "Luther, behind you," I shout, making him start to turn around.

However, the guy picks Luther up, slamming him into the ground.

"Asshole," I hiss, making him turn around. He rushes towards me, grabbing me, but this time... I'm not able to get away.

He suddenly throws me across the room, causing my body to hit the wall, making me scream in pain. I fall to the floor, not being able to move.

I close my eyes, taking a deep breath.

I can literally taste blood in my mouth...

"Luther," I hear Allison exclaim.

"Jasmine," Diego adds. "Come on, we gotta get you up," Diego says, wrapping his arm around me and helping me up.

"Come on, Luther, get up," Allison says.

"Go... help him," I say. He nods, releasing me. I lean against the column, as he rushes over to help Allison get Luther up.

"Ah, you gotta cut down on that fast food, soldier," Diego jokes, as they help him to his feet.

I look towards the balcony when I see one of the attackers watching us.

Oh no...

Suddenly, the chandelier breaks, making my eyes widen. "Get out of the way," Luther says, pushing Allison and Diego out of the way.

"NO," I exclaim, dashing over to Luther and holding out my hands. His body is pushed back, and I brace myself.

"JASMINE," I hear Allison shout, as the steel chandelier hits me, knocking me to the ground.

I gasp, as I feel my body being crushed by the chandelier.

I close my eyes, focusing the rest of the energy on the chandelier. After a couple of seconds, I feel it shatter into nothing. I slowly flip over onto my back, wincing in pain.

"Oh my god," I hear Allison say, as they all rush over to me. I look up at them all, but my eyes immediately land on Luther... His shirt ripped over, and he has a... gorilla body?

Huh. I wasn't expecting that.
