Vengeance

[6]

Kirsten

I didn't think I'd survive being here anymore. It's been weeks since Kenny kidnapped me and my sister and held us hostage. The more I gave him the cold shoulder, the more he'd lose his mind and abuse me. At first he would either slap me or just push me on the ground but now he'd full blown beat me until he's tired. My body is completely weak and full of bruises.

At times he wouldn't let me eat anything or shower for days. If I knew this would of happened after meeting Michael, I would of left him alone a long time ago. The more I'm sitting here on the hard wood floor, the more I think about how I should of listened to Denise. Then again, it's not Michael's fault that this is happening to me. I could only blame Kenny for all this bullshit.

At times he made me realize just how jealous of Michael he was. Matter of fact, the times he'd force me to kiss him, he'd want me to tell him how much I love him. He knows my heart is set on Michael but he wished it was on him. This feud the two have going on is based off pure jealousy, which won't end well.

"I brought dinner." I heard at the door. I didn't bother acknowledging him. He walked inside the room and sat the bowl of food on the nightstand then sat on the bed. "I'm sorry about earlier. You know I hate it when you ignore me."

"I know." I mumbled.

"Come mere." He said as he grabbed my bruised arm and pulled me off the floor. I winced in pain but he ignored it as he forced me to sit on his lap. "You're perfect for me, not him. What does he have that I don't huh?"

I could tell from the tone of his voice that he was getting angry at the thought of Michael. "Michael never put his hands on me or kidnapped me!" I spoke up.

"I'll stop! I'll stop if you'd just...just listen to me! Stay with me, I can show you that I'm better than him!"

I knew this man was crazy and I wasn't surprised he'd say that. I wanted to so badly tell him off, do something to save myself but I knew how risky that would be. He let me stand up on my own and held my waist from behind.

"I'll give you some space princess." He whispers in my ear then leaves the room. My eyes averted towards the bathroom and back to the door. There's a window in there but I'm unsure if I'll be able to fit through it. I've been having thoughts of escaping but I can't just leave my sister behind. I need to come up with a plan and fast.

Michael

"What do you know." I asked Armon, the guy who works for Kenny, as I took a sip of cognac.

"Like I've told you before, Kenny only told a select few where he's located." He says.

"You need to find out through those select few then." I told him then downed the rest of my drink.

"It won't work that way—"

"Of course it will. Even If you have to kill those fuckers to get answers around here then so be it." I told him then stood up from my spot at the table.

"Do you know how risky this shit is?"

"Kenny doesn't scare me." I chuckled.

"Shouldn't you be? The man killed your family." Armon said and I swiftly lunged at him, wrapped my hand around his neck tightly.

"That bastard ain't do shit to my family." I said through my clenched teeth then pushed him away. He fell to ground, gasping for air. "I don't know what lies he's told you or anybody else, but Kenny is nothing but a coward."

Armon stood up and fixed himself while I poured myself another glass of cognac. "He have y'all do his dirty work. He haven't laid a finger on nobody. He ain't nothing to be scared of but you see me? I'm the one you should be worried bout if you don't do exactly as I say."

"Get information out of anybody who's close to him. Bring me back something worth while and I'll have something for you." I finished as I placed a stack of cash on the table.

"Yes sir." Armon said then left.

"Follow him." I spoke to my men. "Make sure he doesn't try to cross me."

As the days went by, I became angrier and more aggressive. I needed Kirsten back into my arms and I wasn't stopping until it happened. Armon bringing up my family brought back memories I didn't wanna think about again. Kenny didn't kill my family. He hired people to do it, which makes him a fucking coward.

He has all these people scared of him when he's really all talk. Instead of facing me like a man, he hires people to try and kill me and guess where they end up? In a body bag along the river. He's setting these men up for death which is sad. He cause all this trouble and expect to be able to run from it for ever.

Kenny and I go back as far as high school. He didn't stay long, he dropped out in tenth grade and joined a gang. One thing my father wanted us to have is an education and he made sure we all had our diplomas, something his parents didn't care about. I knew he was jealous of me the moment he met my family. He showed his jealousy all the time. He carried that hatred to his adult years and have been trying to ruin my life which is sad.

He's done way too many things to me and once I get my hands on him it's over. I should of killed his ass when I had the chance at the club. I let him slide once again but this time I'm done being nice to his ass. He's gonna wish he died sooner when I'm finished with him.

"Michael, we might of found something." I heard. I turned around and saw my father standing there with Polaroid pictures in his hands. I snatched them and gave it a look.

"Where did you get these?" I asked.

"It was in the mail. No return address or anything." He said.

It was pictures of Kirsten passed out with bruises all over her and some pictures was of Raven who was unharmed. I need to get my hands on Kenny, and quickly.
