Sarah POV // 20 minutes earlier
When my eyes fluttered open, I noticed that Kiara had vanished. My entire body ached and I couldn't entirely recall how I'd gotten here; I just knew that I was in a hell of a lot of pain. Suddenly, a door creaked and I jumped backwards, the back of my head colliding with the wall in the process. I winced as a figure walked in swiftly, shutting the door behind them.
"Sarah?" the voice belonged to Uncle M, and mixed emotions settled inside of me as he stepped into the light. I decided to side with the doubts I had and begun to back away. Trusting people had always been my biggest mistake, apart from with John B.
"Stay away from me..." I stated in what I intended to be a harsh tone, but there seemed to be more fear. He simply ignored my request as he came over to me, a sympathetic look crossing his face as he studied me.
"What happened sweetheart?" He asked, bringing his hand up to touch the side of my face. I scowled before slapping his hand away, my own hands trembling.
"Don't call me that." I spat, making a sprint for the door. His arms were around me in an instant as I struggled and writhed in his grip, but he was strong; much stronger than I was.
"Shhhh. It's gonna be ok, we're gonna get away from this, me and you, like when you were younger..." he whispered. What does he mean, we're gonna get away from this? Suddenly, my mind flashed back to a few hours previously. Kiara.
"Where's Kiara. And John B, and my friends!" I exclaimed, still struggling against him.
"Shhh. You can't trust them sweetheart. You can only trust me..." he spoke almost gently, stroking my hair. How in the hell could he possibly think that?
"GET OFF OF ME!" I screamed out and begun attacking back with more force, but it was futile.
"Sarah just listen to me please, we are going to get out of he-" he started but I cut him off.
"NO WE'RE NOT! I'M GONNA FIND JOHN B AND MY FRIENDS AND WE ARE GONNA GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM YOU AND YOUR SICK FRIENDS!" I yelled, managing to finally break free of his grip and crashing to the ground. A silence settled for a few seconds before the sound of a gun clicking caught my attention. Great. Just great.
"Now you are gonna listen to me Sarah, unless you want your little 'friends' to get hurt." He walked over slowly and grasped my arm, pulling me up forcefully. Where were the others? I needed to find them, but my options were now getting severely limited.
"Look sweetheart, we can go and say goodbye to your little friends if you really want to, but you're not gonna like what you see princess. And after that we leave immediately." He stated. Leave? Where to?
"Leave? Where are we going!" I exclaimed, wanting answers.
"Sweetie, we have the gold. Me and you. All we have to do is get it then we can get away from all of this." He said this as if he expected me to just agree with him. He made me sick.
"I TOLD YOU. I AM NOT GOING ANYWHERE WITH YOU. YOU ARE JUST LIKE MY DAD!" I screamed, and he stopped immediately, his eyes sending daggers right at me. He paused for a moment, before shoving me up against a nearby wall, his eyebrows furrowing. Anxiety settled in my stomach as I watched his hand slowly reach for the gun, and I closed my eyes as the cool tip pressed to my head.
"Don't ever say that again Sarah Cameron."
I gulped and nodded slowly, but he simply shifted the gun to the side of my head as he begun marching. Where were we going?
"Is the gun to my head really necessary?" I worked up the courage to ask after a while. It was a horrible feeling; having a gun to your head. He simply pressed it harder against my temple in response and I let out a shaky breath. He was just like my dad. Suddenly, distant shouts and commotion filled my ears and I gasped as some of the voices became familiar. There was a momentary silence as 2 shots went off. My heart leapt in my chest. A hand was clamped over my mouth all of a sudden and moments later, we turned a corner and my eyes widened in horror. JJ was on the floor, beaten down pretty bad, and Kie was stood with a gun, also practically beaten to a pulp.
"Shhhh." Uncle M whispered evilly as John B came tumbling through a hole with Pope, as one of the attackers jumped onto Kie.
"EVERYBODY FREEZE!" Uncle M screamed at the top of his lungs suddenly and I winced from the loud noise. It seemed to be effective, as everyone pivoted in our direction. The spark of adrenaline in John B's eyes melted to fear and heartbreak as our gaze met. I felt a tear roll down my cheek as I gazed at the boy I loved, wondering how the hell we ended up here.
"Now here's what's gonna happen. Jerald give me the gun." My heart skipped in my chest as that monster cackled and shoved the gun up against Kiara's head before tossing it in my direction. I watched the dark object fly through the air, almost as if it were in slow motion, before instinct kicked in and I forced my whole weight into breaking free of Uncle M's grip.
"Let's go Sarah!" I heard JJ exclaim as my fingers clasped around the object and I crashed to the ground. As I spun around, a heavy weight was on top of me in an instant, as a pair of eyes blinded by fury glared straight through me. I struggled for a moment before the weight was eased slightly and I watched John B fling himself on top of Uncle M, bringing a reign of punches to his side and knocking his gun half way across the room.
"Ahhh!" I winced as the weights of 2 full grown men crushed my chest and I'm sure I felt one of my ribs snap as agony ripped through my chest.
"Sarah the gun!" John B motioned towards the object glued to my hand and I rolled out and did my best to stand, pointing it towards the target.
"STOP! GET OFF OF HIM!" I screamed at Uncle M, who had managed to turn the fight around. Risking a quick glance sideways, I noticed Pope fighting one of the men for the other gun. They couldn't hold for much longer.
"SARAH THE GUN!" JJ's desperate tone caused me to snap out of my thoughts as I snapped my attention back and watched as the gun was snatched from my hands. Uncle M didn't hesitate for a second. An ear-splitting shot ricocheted through the atmosphere as an excruciating stab exploded in my calf.
"YOU SON OF A BITCH!" John B's tone was enraged as I felt myself collapsing and things begun to fade to a blur. As I collided with the ground, it came to my attention that agony filled every last inch of my body, and I wanted more than anything to pass out. But I willed myself to keep my eyes open for just a little longer. John B snatched the gun in an instant and an array of shots went off. The first hit bullseye – straight into Uncle M's chest. I watched as a mush of disbelief and passionate fury settled on his face, accompanied by pure agony. The second plunged into his neck as his head smashed against the ground beside me. For a moment we locked eyes, and guilt infested itself in my stomach before he smirked and laughed weakly.
"You will never find the gold without me Sarah Cameron." He almost slurred, before the life drained from his eyes. I tilted my head away from the sight, a nauseous feeling filling my stomach, as the fuzzy outline of John B dropped beside me and begun to stroke my hair.
"Sarah listen we are gonna get you out of here and we are gonna get help ok? Just hang in there please! I can't lose you!" Pain was evident in his tone as his voice broke and he planted a soft kiss on my lips. I smiled as I gazed up at him, attempting to give him reassurance before unconsciousness got its grasp on me. The edges of my vision were blackening as more shots went off and screams rung through the atmosphere. And I all I could do was hope and pray that none of them had hit my friends. That we would make it out of here alive.
