The boy grabbed the arm Laura was holding the axe, catching her off guard. She struggled, pulling hard to get away- but he was too strong.
He twisted her arm as the axe dangled helplessly from her fingertips. She chocked out a strangled yelp, dropping it to the floor; the eco growling no louder than the silent raging fires of fear growing in her chest. The boy loosened his grip for a mere second, but it was all Laura needed. Taking the chance, she wrenched her arm away and took her escape. Her drumming heartbeat alining with her quickened steps.
Not even five steps out, the master thieve caught her once more. Grabbing her, pinning her to the wall and looking straight into her eyes. Laura's heart was racing, and her breathing came out in short strangled gasps. She was frightened out of her life. She felt as if stones where tied to her feet.
"Sorry doll, but you're coming with me," the boy smirked. He pushed her to her knees, grabbed a nearby pipe and swung it at her head. Before she could even scream, a silent blackness invaded her vision, and he watched as she slumped to the ground.
Satisfied, the boy let out a sigh.
"This is gonna be fun."
He cracked his neck as a wide grin stretched across his handsome face

"Let go" I choked, "I have to leave. You're in danger-" The next thing I knew, his lips crashed onto mine. His arms wrapped around my body, pulling tightly to his chest. "Stop it" I sobbed, unable to control my trembling. "Why are you doing this? Let me go-" "I had to get you quiet" he murmured. "Please Ava. You have to try to calm down. I understand you're scared right now, but you have to trust me. We're going to get home safely. Stay with me a few more minutes, and then we'll get the f*ck out of here.

"No, it's you who is out of the mind, for thinking you could fool me." He said and gulped seeing how the rain soaked her completely and that silk dress clinged to her bare body. "You were in the house while everyone was fighting outside. You sneaked in my office! Tell me what information have you sent!" He spat. "I... I have done nothing... Just locked the door." She trembled, afraid of everything and everyone now. "Is that so? Okay." He laughed. "When I'm done with you, you will sing everything." He hissed and grabbed her again. "Damian! Let me go!

I am Isabel (published)✔️
Meet Isabel. She gets along with most people, not super popular but she's not a wallflower either. Isabel doesn't need anyone else in her life not to protect her and certainly not Derek and his crew. She lives with her brother and father . They share a secret that could land them in jail. She can fight almost anyone and win, this girl kicks a$$. Yet Isabel has a past that features in her nightmares, making her afraid to sleep alone. --- "Hey?" I heard but didn't reply. "Hey!" I still didn't reply. A hand grabbed my arm and I twisted out of it on instinct. There was a glimmer of surprise in his eyes as I faced the last of the Five in the now almost empty hallway. Derek. Almost as tall as Mac. Black hair like the twins with ice cold blueish grey eyes. Same fighters build, six pack and all but not as soft as Mac or as feminine as the twins beauty. He was more rugged. I did understand the appeal of these boys but there were a lot of good looking guys on the swim team too and I did go with Jarred when he had fights. "You know we wouldn't let anyone hurt you right? Even if Jarred isn't around, we'll be here to protect you." I blinked. I blinked again. Nope, he was still standing there with the same serious expression. Derek, the unofficial leader of the Five, the boy every guy would want to be friends with and every girl would love to sleep with, was offering me his protection. I did the only thing that made sense in that situation. I burst out laughing. I was laughing so hard that I doubled over and when I glanced up at him I just cracked up again. He stood through it all without any emotion on his face, there was barely a glimmer of anger in his eyes. If anything I might have seen some surprise. I patted him on the arm and winked. "You. Are. Funny! I don't need you idiots to look out for me. But thanks for the thought." With that I quickly made my way to class.Complete
The Handsome three ( COMPLETED)
"Hey! She already said she was sorry. What more do you want?!" I screamed loudly in his face. His face turned from angry to shocked. No one had ever yelled at him that way at school before. He narrowed his eyes at me."She ruined a very expensive shirt so she needs to be punished for it," he responded, his green eyes lit with hate and anger. "So?! You probably have a million other shirts just like it. You spoiled rich boys have no respect for others. You think you're better than everyone else. Well, let me tell you, you are the worst of the worst." I said. I couldn't believe what I had just said. I realized I had given myself a death sentence as the words flew out my mouth. Duke was quiet for a few moments then he finally replied. "You better watch what you say girly," he said as he brushed past my shoulder. His two buddies following him from behind.
