「 FRATERNIZING WITH THE ENEMY 」

43 | Concussions and comas

"Walk" he instructed and I moved towards the metal door, he signaled for Anna to open the door and she followed her orders.

As soon as I stepped out I heard gunshots sounding below me, Joseph pushed me forward to move and I unwillingly followed the sounds of the bullets being fired.

Joseph pushed me down a dark hallway until we reached a balcony area.

I recognized it as where our attackers stood when we had first entered this warehouse.

Below us I could see the whole scene unfolding.

And there right in middle of it was Noah and Logan.

I felt my heart beat wildly in my chest at the sight.

"They're all going to die" Joseph smirked in my ear and I shuddered in disgust.

Will, Kasey, Vicky, Valentino, Ethan, Grayson, Dylan, Kyle, Liam, Chase, Mia and Megan were there too. Each of them holding a gun in their hands as they fought of their attackers.

They were not going to die.

I frantically tried to call to them over the sound of the bullets but it was too loud for them to hear me and the gag muffled my voice.

"You're a screamer... just like your mother" Joseph said and it was like something snapped inside of me,

I brought my foot up and kicked Joseph in the groin, he yelped and stumbled in surprise. He dropped his gun, which I kicked off the balcony and onto the floor below us. This caught the attention of my friends.

They looked up at us and I locked gazes with Logan.

His eyes flooded in relief when he saw that I was okay but as he was distracted a bullet bypassed him, scraping his arm in the process. He stumbled back and in an instant Noah was at his side to cover him while he regained his composure.

Noah looked up at me; his eyes filled with worry and concern.

Logan and Noah exchanged a few words before they told the rest of the group, then they ducked off while barely missing the bullets,

My heart sped up at the sight of everyone and so much anxiety built up in my chest that it was almost crippling.

My eyes widened as I was pulled away from the balcony; we turned a corner down the hallway.

"You little bitch" Joseph muttered in my ear as he grabbed my arm tightly, I squirmed to get out of his grip as Elliot tossed him a Swiss army knife.

"You have no idea how much I'd love to kill you now" Holding it up to my neck before his hand moved towards my leg and he dug the knife into my thigh then pulled it out quickly; I let out a strangled cry while trying not to fall to the floor.

I screwed my eyes shut and I winced at the pain in my upper leg, the only thing holding me up right now was Joseph.

"Let her go" I heard a familiar voice say sternly, my gaze flicked over to Noah and Logan.

They stood around thirty feet in front of us; Noah had his gun aimed directly at Joseph while Logan stood beside him with one hand clutching his own gun and the other holding his shoulder,

"You proved me wrong Alex, these two really would work together to save you" Joseph scoffed and I wanted nothing more to run away right now and never look back.

"I said let her go" Noah nearly yelled,

Suddenly Joseph let me go causing me to fall and I winced as my hands and knees hit the floor. I quickly tore my gag off.
