Him & I

Chapter 36

Jace's POV

As Emilio pulled up to the house owned by Harrison, we wait. Nick parked his car next to us and waited for us to give the other guys the signal. After a while, we all slide down our seats to hide as we saw Harrison. He was smirking and rubbing his hands together. It took all I had to not get out of the car and kill him right there. "We need to wait," Emilio whispered to me. "I know," I whispered back. We heard the door slam so I discreetly popped my head up. No one was around so I gave the others the sign. We all got out of the cars and I started giving orders. "Nick, Emilio, Hugo and Ronnie go round the back. Kill everyone. Griffin, Elijah, Bentley, Damon and me will go through the front. Remember, no one survives, and let me kill Harrison," I ordered. We all went our separate ways and the other guys went round the back. "3...2...2," I counted down then kicked the door. It flew open and there was a couple people glaring at me. I quickly pulled out my gun and started shooting people. In minutes, the living room was covered in bodies. Emilio, Nick, Hugo and Ronnie all ran in breathing heavily. "What happened?" I asked. "We got chased by fucking dogs. These Rottweilers were freaking running at us," Emilio panted. "What happened to the dogs?" Damon tried not to laugh. "Don't be mad but I drugged them," Ronnie breathed out. "Drugged?" Elijah raised one eyebrow. "Yep. I had a tranquilliser so I gave it to them. Two dogs out like a light," Ronnie told us. "And what was that tranquilliser?" Bentley spoke up. "Uh, I don't know," Ronnie's voice went high pitched. "Let's go find cora," I called out. I searched the whole house, not one bedroom was full, I checked everywhere. "Jace," Bentley called me. I walked over to him to see Bentley stood over a door in the floor. A rug covered it so Bentley pulled it back. Just then, I heard a scream. It was muffled like someone had their mouth covered. "Shut up you little bitch," Harrison shouted. I pulled up the door and raced down the steps. There was a small room, the walls were dirty and it smelt bad. My eyes came across cora and Harrison. She was on the floor with her hands and legs tied with thick rope. She had no clothes on other than her bra and underwear. Harrison stood over her, his belt was undone with his trousers zipped down. "Get the fuck away from my girlfriend," I glared at the back of him. "Look who turned up. Maybe I should have got here a lot faster," Harrison chuckled. "I won't ask again Harrison," I started moving closer to him slowly. I held my gun up so I could pull the trigger if I needed to.

Cora's POV

When I woke up, I was in a small room. The walls were dirty and the room stunk. My hands and feet where tied and there was something around my mouth. I don't know how long I was down there for but after a while I heard someone coming. A man walked in with an evil smirk on his face. His eyes trailed up and down my body, he bit his lip as his eyes lingered on my chest. Just then I realised I was in my underwear. "Hey gorgeous, nice to see you awake," the guy smirked. I couldn't talk since I had something on my mouth so I narrowed my eyes at him. "I see I have a feisty one," he chuckled darkly. All of a sudden, I felt something go along my stomach. I started screaming in pain. I looked down to see this guy had cut from one side of the stomach to the other. He kept on going, making big cuts and smaller ones. My muffled screamed filled the tiny room as the random guy cut me. I started breathing heavy as tears streamed down my face. After a while of him harming me, he threw the knife across the room and unbuckled his belt with his trousers. He stood over me looking at me with lust in his eyes. I shook my head and tried to get away from him as I knew what was going to happen. "Get the fuck away from my girlfriend," I heard jace. I looked up to see jace glaring at the man. "Look who turned up. Maybe I should got here a lot faster," the guy smirked. His eyes didn't leave my body as he eyed me hungrily. "I won't ask again Harrison," Jace warned. "Or what jace? You gonna kill me? If you take another step I will kill your precious girl," the guy laughed darkly. Jace paused for a moment. All of a sudden, Emilio, Damon, Elijah, Nick, Hugo, Griffin, Ronnie and Bentley all rushed down. "Anyone makes a move, this girl dies," the guy jace called Harrison threatened. "Harrison I will pull my trigger right now, move away from cora," Emilio called out. He bent down and pulled out a knife. Before I could do anything, Harrison was behind me. I was now standing up with this guy behind me with a pocket knife to my stomach. "Harrison," Jace warned. "Make a move, she dies," he pushed the end of the knife into me. I wince at the pain. Jace pulled up his gun and aimed it at the guy. Just then, I felt the blade go all the way inside me. I screamed out in pain and I fell to the floor. Jace stood there with wide eyes as Elijah pulled his trigger. The bullet hit the guy in the head and he collapsed to the ground. Jace ran over to me and placed his hands by the knife. Tears fell from my eyes as I looked up at jace. He took off the thing that was around my mouth while Emilio untied my hands and Damon untied my feet.

Jace's POV

All of a sudden, Harrison pushed the knife into cora and she fell. Shock took over me I didn't know what to do. Elijah shot Harrison in the head breaking me from my trance. I ran to cora carefully placing my hands near the knife. Damon untied her legs while Emilio did the same to her hands. "Cora you stay with me," my voice came out shaky. "You need to pull out the knife," nick told me. I nodded and gripped the end and took it out. Cora screamed and I threw the knife away. My hands went to the wound applying pressure to help with the bleeding. "Jace, I'm so sorry," Cora cried. "What for baby?" I looked at her. I could feel her blood pooling around my hands as I tried to stop it. "For not... for not being there more," she managed to get out. "Don't say it like your dying. We'll get you to a hospital and it'll be ok," I felt the lump in my throat. I didn't feel the need to cry since I knew cora would be fine. "No Jace. There won't be any time. You need to get back to the kids," she told me. Cora lifted up her hand and placed it on my cheek. I leaned my face into her touch. "Promise me you'll look after them," Cora whispered. "No, you'll do this. We will get you to a hospital and you will see our kids again," I felt tears form in my eyes. This is what Emilio felt when I got shot but I knew cora wouldn't make it. She had lost a lot of blood and I was just lying to myself. "I'm not going to make it jace. Stop lying to yourself. Please jace, don't let anything happen to our little boys and our princess," Cora begged as more tears fell from her eyes. "You'll make it cora. We'll be able to raise them together in our own place. You'll have your own diner and I'll be working at a garage. You'll have Arorah helping you cook and serve while Mitch and Kieran help me fix cars and trucks," tears fell from my eyes. "No I won't. That's why you have to keep them safe. Please jace," Cora cried. "Don't leave me Cora. I can't do it without you, our kids need you, your dad needs you. Please cora, I need you," I begged as I cried. The last time I cried was when I pushed cora away, it took a lot to make me cry and this went over the line. "I love you so much jace Christian Black," Cora whispered. "I love you to cora hope Black," I leaned down and kissed her. Cora kissed back and then I felt her hand leave my cheek. I pulled back as I looked at her lifeless eyes. "No, no, no, no, no. Cora," I cried. "Cora wake up," I shouted. I shook her holding on to her shoulders. "Jace," Emilio put his hand on my shoulder. "No, she can't be gone. I won't let her," I snapped. When I looked at him I saw tears in his eyes. "Jace she's gone. There's nothing we can do," Emilio kneeled down to me. "I won't accept that. She needs to be here. Cora wake up," I sobbed. "Damon," Emilio stood up. He pulled me away from cora. "Let go of me Emilio. She needs to wake up," I shouted. Emilio pulled me away from, I shouted and cried as I was dragged away from cora.
