Hope Defeated [Editing]

Concealed - Day 5

Jordan's POV

I had a plain look as I took out the package from my jacket. I smirked at the poison, simple enough for me to use yet fast enough to kill easily.

I grabbed the needle that was in one of the shelves. I stuck the poison in it and got it ready to kill someone. Then the worst possible thing happened, Jack walked in.

"O-oh hi there Jack!" I backed away with the needle ready the stab him.

"Jordan what did you put in your pocket." He glared at me, obviously pissed.

"N - nothing you must of just saw something." I smiled lightly hoping he'd fall for it.

"You never smile now hand it over." He opened his hand, the perfect opportunity though I only had enough for one person. If I was found out though that might be worse, I thought about this and came to a decision.

I reached out the needle to stab him as I felt my head burning and it hurt so much. I spun around to see Will standing over me with a chair. I then fell and blacked out.

Jack's POV

"Thank you Will."

"It was nothing I owed you one." He smiled and put his head down shyly.

"Sorry about your sister." I mumbled, he nodded and gave genuine smile before leaving me with Jordan. I sat in the only remaining chair in the room now, and stared in thought at her passed out form.

What would we do with her, that had obviously been poison in the vial. I sighed as I got up and tied Jordan to the chair, half dragging it downstairs. Jordan was waking up but she was groggy.

"So why were you going to poison me?"

"Stop thinking everything's about you Jack." She had a smug look, so I slapped her.

"It was for a lot more than just you..." Jordan trailed off. I glared at her, why would she kill someone, wait never mind.

"So who's paying you?"

"Eh?"

"You heard me who?"

"They took my brother and said if I did it I could get him back I'm really sorry Jack." She frowned at me and I sighed.

"Who is it Jordan?" She looked uneasy as she spoke.

"They said they would kill him if I talked."

"I won't say anything, ok?" She almost whispered the name.

"Mae." I thought it was someone we knew so I sighed in relief for I had no clue who that was.

"Where are they or her?"

"Across the street, can I come?" I glared at her and sighed in defeat, allowing her to follow without restraints.

"Everyone we're going to kill someone." Everyone froze when they heard someone.

"Wait what?" Griffin asked.

"Someone took Jordan's brother then tried to kill us, they need to be killed, we go now." This is a pain but soon maybe we could have a break and give Grace a proper funeral.

Miranda's POV

Am I awake yet? No.

Maybe I'll just sleep a little longer....

Your friends need you now, are you giving up on them?

No, I can't I - I have to wake up.
