We all watch in horror as Brayan slowly strides into the room. He walks over to me and wraps his cold fingers around my wrist. He pulls me and I stand in fear. Is he going to tell madre? 

"What are you doing here? "Desmond shoots at Brayan as Brayan makes to pull me out of the room.

Brayan ignores him and I obediently keep following his pull.
"Where the f*ck do you think you're taking her!? "Desmond shoots as he grabs my other arm and I stand between them both stupidly like a rope meant for a tug of war game.

Brayan stares at Desmond intensely and suddenly Desmond begins to battle to breathe. Although Desmond is coughing furiously, he doesn't let go of my arm as he falls to the ground. Gabby and Ekene rush to him.

"Desmond!? "I scream as I try to reach down for him but Brayan pulls me causing Desmond to lose his grip on my wrist. 

Brayan begins to pull me towards the door in the ground and I struggle fruitlessly to get to Desmond.

"What are you doing Brayan!? Let me go! "I scream but he ignores me.

He doesn't make use of the ladder but safely gets us both to the ground.

"What are you doing!? Let me go! "I scream as I battle Brayan's grip.

"Calm down Sonia. He's fine. I only did that so he'd stay back. Else he would have made this discussion hard." Brayan replies and I stare at him suspiciously.

"Trust me. He's fine. I know how much you care about him and I won't do anything to hurt you. "Brayan says looking into my eyes and I suddenly feel like a little child in his arms.

I blink slowly as I make myself believe him.
"I know a way you all can escape without the Fratello's spotting you," Brayan says, and my ears tingle.

He tells me how he and five of his friends had created a secret underground tunnel through which they could escape but after mader killed them, he lost hope and never used it.

"But why would you help us?" I question after his explanation.

"Sonia, you don't know how much power you have. The strength and aura you carry around is so peaceful and attractive.

It has the same effect as a magnet to a few people. To people who can see true beauty. "He replies and confusion stronger than the ones I get in algebra class hits me.

"I'm helping you cause I can't help it. I have to. "He replies running his thumb over my left cheek. I suddenly see the flames in his eyes come to life and he instantly steps away from me.

"Goodbye. "He says before he begins to briskly walk away.

"Deborah! "I hear Desmond scream and I look up only to find him climbing down the ladder.

"Are you okay? What did he do!? "Desmond questions taking my face in his palms.

"Nothing Desmond. He... Told me a way we could escape." I reply and Desmond stares at me closely.

"Seriously? "Desmond questions and I nod in affirmation.

"You trust him? "He questions.

"Yes," I reply after a gulp.

"Why on earth would you trust him!?" Desmond screams.

"Desmond he won't hurt me," I reply.

"That's the freaking point! He clearly has a thing for you and won't want you to go!

This is a trap, Deborah! "Desmond replies and I am thrown aback.

"I don't think so. If there are underground passages under the tunnel grounds then I think it's worth a shot. "I reply after a few seconds.

"What if it's a dead-end and some sick trap!? "He screams.

"Then I'd be honored to go down by your side. "I reply staring into his beautiful deep brown eyes.

"You know, going under underground could be the key to our treasure chest. "Ekene says from up in the treehouse and Desmond and I chuckle as we realize Ekene and Gabby have been eavesdropping.

*******

I sit as I open Toris journal to her second entry. The last one talked about how she like me, planed on escaping but she crazily thought she could in under three weeks!

'Dear Venom;

I've spent quite a while here. I'm glad I had a blank book and pen when I was taken. I guess you were destined to be my companion during his crazy nightmare.

Yeah... I had slimy greens for breakfast and I just realized my hate for broccoli is unfair and unjust. I'd rather be on a lifetime diet of broccoli than have another bowl of that salty s*it!.

On the bright side, I met an old friend Rachel. She's still smoking hot and as crazy as before. Turns out we're both lesbians and we are hitting things off smoothly.

Well when life gives you an immortal freak as a 'mom', a nasty hell hole as a home and strangers as family and also no way out; make good s*x. '

I smile bitterly at Toris one of a kind mentality and am about to open the next page when I hear the metal gong get struck.

I put the book into the tear in my bed and cover it with the bed cover before heading to the dining hall. I find everyone standing and I join.

On the podium is a dirty, malnutrition, lost-looking boy being held down by the Fratellos.

"Hello, children. "Madre says as she climbs onto the podium.

"As we all know, over 200 of my children have betrayed me by escaping and choosing that cruel world over my loving kindness! "She says. ~f*cker thinks she's kind!?

"Well, this is one of them.  Alex! And he would serve as a scapegoat to all of you who think your sibling's rebellion is a green light for you! "She says in her usual, low demon tune.

"Spada! "She screams and a Fratello instantly places a long sword in her outstretched hand.

∆∆∆∆∆∆

"Any last words? "She questions the boy about my age as she catwalks towards him. The swords trailing slowly on the floor behind her.

"Your paradise would crumble Bi*ch! "He screams before laughing and anger clouds Madres white face.

"Ahhhhh! "Madre screams as she raises the sword high up. The next thing; in place of Alex's head is a bleeding stump and his head rolling away from his body. His head stops rolling and faces the crowd causing a few people to scream and jump back.

His eyes are open with no remorse whatsoever in them.

"This would be my little trophy," Madre says picking his head up by its hair. I feel the depths of my stomach erupt and I feel like I'd barf anytime soon.

"Mmmm. " Madre moans in satisfaction as she sucks from the blood dripping off the detached head.

"Oh, Jesus. "Gabby mutters in fear as she takes my arm for support. I place my fingers over hers as I stare at the blood-sucking monster.

"This! Is the end of your rebellion!" She screams as she throws his head up in the air and perfectly pins it to the wall above her with the sword she throws at it which slices through his nose.  Causing more blood to flow down like a broken tap.

"No. This is where you draw the line. Death is just the beginning.. "
I mutter as anger as I've never felt before attacks the very core of my soul.
