Dylan moves to where the sound was coming from as he tries not to make a sound. He just sighted a flashlight not too far ahead and he moved back quickly and rushed inside quietly to the laughing noise inside.

"Shush!" He whispers. "There's someone outside" he whispers.

"Someone? Maybe it's one of those gardeners around or something. I'm sure it's safe" Angel replied as she stood up and walked towards the door but was held back by Tristan who pulled her close immediately before the stone coming from the glass could hit her. There were crashes and the girls screamed. Quickly they all ran upstairs except for Dylan and Tristan who went through the other door.

Nathan and Austin led the girls inside the room and told them to be quiet but they were really scared.  Tristan and Dylan hid inside the kitchen with anything they could use as weapons.

"I heard screams. I'm not sure this is a good idea" one of the guys speak from the parlor and another one shush him up.

"I knew you shouldn't have come along. You're too chickened to do this shit, you don't even know how to use that baseball that you're holding" he replied shaking his head

"Come on!" Dylan gestures to Tristan as they made their way to the dining that was just at the entrance of the kitchen.

The intruders were four in numbers and each wore a mask covering their faces. With baseball bats each.

"Come on girls, we mean no harm" one of them speaks.

Suddenly the lights in the room went off and some began to panic.

"Oh God! I told you this was a terrible ide-"

"Just shut the fuck up" one of them shouted again.

"I think you should listen to him and just leave now. Before things get messy" Dylan speaks from behind them. They turned quickly but they couldn't find the source of the voice.

"Shit! You said they were all chicks and no dudes"

"It's a trap"

"Will you shut the fuck up or else I'll smash you with this bat" the guy that seem to be in control shouts. And the rest went quiet.

"Obviously you guys are amateurs" Tristan speaks

"Yeah? Why don't you come out and we'll see about that huh?" The guy replies and as the words left his mouth. Tristan moves out from the shadow with nothing with him.

"Look we don't want trouble and we don't have cash so please just leave" he speaks calmly but the other guy snorts

"We're not here for money. Tell Angel she's got a visitor" he replies.

"I'm sorry but you're not welcomed" Dylan speaks from their backs as they faced Tristan. Just as they turned he spread fire extinguisher at them causing unclear vision because of the smoke and their masks. They swing their bats randomly. Dylan and Tristan quickly wear a gas mask they were hiding that helped with their vision and prevents the gas from affecting them. Dylan pounced on one of them, grabbing the bat from his hand and knocking him off. Tristan rushes over but as he tried to throw his second punch at one of the intruders, a bat was smashed on his head causing him to collapse and screaming in the process.

The smoke wore off and everywhere was clear. Tristan was down and Dylan couldn't handle them all. Thankfully Nathan and Austin came down to help.

The light was still off so it was still dark, they fought for some minutes before they heard a scream from upstairs.

The girls were told to stay put inside the room but Cherry ran out, insisting she wants to help. She wasn't even touched but she screamed from the sight before her as she turns the light on from where she stood. The rest had to run downstairs and now everywhere was clear and they could see clearly. Angel sighted Tristan on the floor and ran off to meet him amidst the chaos but she got hit with one of the bats on her temple and the force pushed her backwards, she landed on her back and immediately became unconscious. They manage to fight their way out, two ran off and one was down while the guy that seem like the leader was outnumbered and so he surrendered.

Tristan regained strength, pulled off his mask and moved to Angel who was out.

"Your mask, now" Dylan speaks with a slight injury on the cheeks. The intruder pulled off his mask and behold it was Fred.

"Well look who we have here" Austin says smirking.

"Angel are you okay?" Tristan shakes her gently and she murmured. Slowly opening her eyes, trying to adjust her sight.

"Tristan?" She whispers and he sighs, hugging her gently.

"You scared me" he replied

"We really have to stop having sweet moments before an attack" she replies Sitting up

"What do y-" Tristan trails

"This is kinda strange but I think I remember" she replies holding her head from migraine.

"I thought those only happen in movies" Nathan speaks from the other end and they laugh.

"Not everything, just some fragments of my memory"

"How the hell did you get here? And what do you want?" Tristan asks looking at Fred who was kneeling down with his hands up.

"You better start talking. We could kill you right now and call the police and tell them it was on defense" Nathan threatens

"Which is true by the way" Austin added but Fred just scoffed and looked at Angel.

"Okay then" Dylan says and the next thing, his punch was flying across his face. Fred falls to the floor and Dylan jacked him up.

"I'll ask again! Why are you here?" He asks angrily and Fred tries to speak from coughing.

Another punch and this time blood gushed out of his mouth. "Why are you here?" Dylan shouts

"I-I" coughs

"I wanted to get back" coughs

"At Angel for the other night" coughs

"How the hell did you know where we were?" Dylan Asks again. Still grabbing him by the neck

"I overheard her talking about the getaway with her friends and so-So"

"So you decided to follow them" Tristan completed.

"Yes" he affirmed.

"You're a psychopath, a deranged one" Angel finally speaks. They tied him to a pillar in the middle of the parlor.

"So what do we do?" Austin asks as they all stood outside, talking about Fred.

"We need to report this immediately" Hailey suggested.

"What if we just kill him and bury the body. Pretend like this never happened?" Dylan speaks and this time, everyone turned to look at him.
