Release Me

Chapter 36

"How could you?" I croaked out. 

"She cheated on me! That bitch cheated on me!"

I took a step back and Caleb held me up from falling which I was pretty close to doing. 

"No, she-"

"YOU'RE NOT MY CHILD!!! YOUR NOT MY BLOOD AND YOU NEVER WERE!!!!" 

His voice shook the whole shed and my heart dropped. I held my head with my hands to make the world stop breaking apart. Everything I ever knew and held dear to was falling into pieces and shattering against the floor. 

"The only reason why I didn't kill you years ago was because I knew you were the key but thanks to Mike I finally know the last clue."

I look at him no with anger and hatred but will a broken heart that couldn't be damaged anymore. 

Friends will turn into enemies. 

Heartbreak and secrets revealed.

I now know what my mother was trying to say. 

"You were the one working with Black," Asher spat. 

He just smirked and looked at me. 

"You have no use to me, Thea." 

He raised his gun and fired but I didn't move from my spot. I couldn't move because I wanted this pain to end and I wanted to just give up. As the bullet went through the air a pair of arms wrapped around me and pushed me to the side. A scream filled the air and a body dropped down next to me. More gunshots go around the shed but I stare at the person laying next to me. 

Caleb laid down next to me with blood spreading through his stomach. I quickly get up and put his head in my lap. 

"Caleb," I whispered as tears run through my face. 

He gave me a soft smile and I broke into more tears. 

"Why?" 

"Because, your family."

Slowly his eyes close but he was still breathing very slowly. 

"Death never seems to escape you, Thea."

I can feel the man holding a gun to my forehead but I didn't mind him. I bent down and kissed Caleb's cheek.  I rested his head on the floor and look up at him finally. Taking him by surprise I grab the gun from him and push him to the ground. 

Men dressed in black raced in and started shooting at us. The boys were trying to fight off the men but more kept on coming in. There was no sign of Mike anywhere and I was somehow thankful that I didn't have to  see an another person that betrayed me. 

I land a punch on the man and push him to the wall making him groan in pain. 

Mom. 

I grab him by the neck and slam his face into the wall. He stumbles and I double kick his stomach. 

Jake. 

He falls over and I kick his face. I grab his arm and twist them behind him until I heard him scream in pain. 

Caleb. 

I let go of him and he landed on the ground. Even though I might have broken way more than a few bones in his body he starts to laugh and cough up blood. 

"Look around you Thea. Do you really think you're winning?"

Caleb was still on the floor breathing but still bleeding and unconscious. Raph was trying to fight off as many people as he could but he looked bruised and tired. Leo was cornered by a bunch of men and had blood coming from his leg. Asher was trying to fight off as well but he had an open deep wound on his arm and chest. 

Then I heard sirens. 

"It's over Thea. Its all over." 

The sirens were coming closer and more men were filling in the shed. Raph fell to the ground wounded and tired. Soon Leo and Asher followed him. 

It was over. 

Black had the plans. 

Caleb was dying and so were the rest of the boys. 

The police have found me. 

It was all over. 

"Thea!! RUN!!!" Asher yelled at me. 

I look at him with a confused expression. I couldn't leave them here? 

"RUN THEA! RUN!" 

I slowly start walking backward. 

"There's nowhere to run," the man said as he lunged for me but Asher tackled him to the ground and punched him. 

Taking that as a sign for me to leave. I turn backward and start running out the shed. It was pouring rain as I ran through the deserted place we were in.  Once I was a mile away from the shed colorful lights shined through my eyes making me squint. Police cars came in all different directions and they circled me making me have no where to go. Cops came out and one of them tackled me to the floor. He cuffed my hands behind my back and pulled me up. 

"Thea Woods you are under arrest for the murder and attempted murder of Jake Woods, Claudia Wilson, and Emma Henson." 

Everything seemed to fall in place yet they were falling apart at the same time. 

"You have the right to remain silent. If you do say anything, what you say can be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to consult with a lawyer and have that lawyer present during any questioning. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed for you if you so desire."

It was over.
