"Love and Pain." ~~~~~~A LEGACIES STORY

Chapter 23: The rescue

A bright light shines in my face. It seems like a lamp. My arms and legs are stuck to a chair with chains. My vision is blurry, but some items catch my eye.

There is a sliver table near me. A bottle of something with a dark color. There is a woman with black hair, brown eyes, and smooth caramel skin who walks from around a wall.

"Who are you? What do you want?" The girl walks over to the table with the bottle.

"I want the key to Malivore."

"Well I don't have it."

There is a flicker of anger in her eyes. She knows that I'm not lying, but she is hoping that I am. "I will get it out of you then."

She goes and reaches for the bottle and shoves it down my throat. It burns as it continues coming down. The pain is excruciating. My first reaction is to try to cough it up, but it gets on her. She winces and puts more down my throat.

Almost half of the bottle is empty when she stops. As soon as the bottle leave my lips, I feel weak.

"There is more so I suggest you start talking." She pulls a chair in front of me.

"I told you... I don't know what key you're talking about." She makes another angry face. "Please, just let me go."

The girl doesn't say anything she just gets up and leaves. There is no clock so I have no idea how long I've been here. It feels like days I've been sitting here but it could be hours.

There is no exits. A boarded up door is next to me, but too far to reach.

She eventually comes back in. My strength has recovered. I'm back to my normal self, so I guess it's been a lot time. When she comes back in she has a gun.

"Tell me where the key to Malivore is." No words leave my mouth, so she shoots me. The bullet goes through my leg.

"Aaaahhh." The chair moves a little.

"Tell me!" She shoots my other leg and another yell escapes my mouth.

"I don't know. You're wasting your time." The girl rolls her eyes.

"Chris! Makayla!" The names are too familiar, and so does the faces. Chris walks in behind Makayla.

I'm hurt deep down, but they don't need to know. "Well look who it is. My long time boyfriend along with my best friend. Let me guess, you guys are a thing."

Makayla smiles at me slightly and kisses Chris. Even though my heart belongs to Hope, it still hurts to see it. Chris breaks from the kiss and he faces me.

The girl smiles as she watches this. Her eyes goes to my necklace. "What do we have here?" She goes to touch the necklace but it stings her. Makayla walks up and tries. She managed to take the necklace off.

"Makayla, what are you doing?" Her eyes aren't normal ones. They look evil and vengeful.

She hands it to the mysterious girl with a proud smile. The girl looks at it.

"That's weird. I couldn't take it off but I'm able to touch it just fine now. Well, it doesn't matter. You see I've been down this road with your brother. Everyone didn't know that there was a group of us. We watched you guys. Meaning, I know just how important this necklace is to you." She turns to Makayla who has an eager look on her face.

"Burn it." Makayla grabs a lighter and starts to put it to the necklace.

"What? No! No!"  The necklace falls to the floor on fire. "You backstabbing bitch!" I start to scrim in my chair trying to get out. "I will kill every single one you!"

The girl slams her hands against the arms of the chair. She bends down to get in my face. Her expectation is for me to get scared, but I won't.

"Not if we kill you first." Her voice is a whisper. It's cold and brutal. After a moment of being in each other's face, she grabs another bottle and pour the liquid down my throat.

She grabs another one. "Please. Don't." When I try to keep my mouth shut she forces it open. The liquid stings her as I spit it back out onto her.

"Makayla, get the gun."

Makayla leaves. "Chris hold her arms."

He follows directions. I catch a glimpse of his eyes. He looks hurt, so I don't miss the opportunity to get out of this mess. "Please, Chris." Chris shakes his head.

"Let's get this over with." After that he doesn't look at me anymore.

Makayla comes back with the gun and she shoots me in my leg. As soon as I open my mouth a little, the girl starts to put the liquid in my mouth.

The bottle becomes empty and the girl goes out of the room. My head hangs low, but I can still see Makayla and Chris.

"You guys betrayed me. Left me back in Paris."

Makayla walks up to me. Her face close to mine. "You deserves it. You low life-"

"Enough of that!" The girl comes back in with a gun. Her bullets go straight through my arms and legs. Yells escape my mouth. Over and over again she shoots me.

That is until the door is kicked down. My vision is blurry again. I can't really see anything except for the oh so familiar auburn hair.

"Hope?" My voice is faint. She rips the heart out of Makayla.

Rafael comes in and sees me. Chris tried to stop him, but he rips his heart out. Chris and Makayla fall down beside me. My friends who I was with for five years.

Well I guess they weren't my friends after all. A huge part of me wanted to hate them, but they had became my family. Even though, I didn't trust them as much. A single tear rolls down my face.

The girl tries to escape and while doing that knocks my chair down. I fall backwards hitting my head on the wall.

Even when I'm unconscious, I feel someone caring me. "It's okay, sis. I got you." That was Landon's voice. He had picked me up with the others following us. Holding onto the last remaining strength I had gets hard, so eventually I fall unconscious completely.
