☾︎ Maeve ☽︎
I stare back at my dad, and a horrified expression flashes across my face.
His eyes widen as he jerks the knife away from my chest, his hand covering his mouth trying to suppress the sobs he's letting out.
"You- You were dead," I mumble, examining my dad's figure but I don't see any wounds on his body.
"No, they wounded me on the mission and brought me here while they tortured me for months." His voice barely leaves his throat and I suck in a deep breath.
He was tortured for months?
"We need to leave," He mumbles and grabs my wrist, leading us out of the torture rooms.
I stop walking, my dad frowning at me "I can't leave, he will hurt my friends." My dad shakes his head, ignoring my words.
"We need to go," He repeats and pulls me with him again. I don't see where we're going but I hear a door opening.
I look around only to see that I'm back in the same room I was cuffed in earlier today.
"What-," I'm cut off by a gunshot, a stinging pain coursing through my left leg as I stumble to the ground with a cry.
I hold my bleeding leg, the red liquid spilling on the floor while sobs withdraw from my mouth due to the severe pain.
I glance up, seeing my dad holding me at gunpoint. He shot me.
"Why did you do that?!" I shout and the door opens moments later, revealing Ethan.
"Thank you for bringing her back, Mr. Nystrom," Ethan smirks and my scowl deepens.
What? What does he mean by that?
"What- do you mean?" I manage to say as I press hard on my leg, blood staining my hands.
"Babe, this was planned," Ethan waves of laughter, "Your dad... He works for me." His smile vanishes as he claps his hands together.
I wince when my leg begins stinging and feeling numb.
Does my dad work for Ethan? What? No, that's not possible.
"He killed mom!" I yell, trying to get a reaction from my dad but it doesn't work, "Someone had to do it." My dad mumbles as he lifts his shoulders.
"Someone had to do it?" I mumble in utter disbelief, "Do you hear yourself?!" I cry and my dad glares at me.
"I made a deal with the Ambrose clan," My dad explains, "Therefore, your mother needed to be killed."
My blood runs cold, my head is aching and I don't even know what's real or fake anymore.
Why is everybody betraying me? What did I do wrong?
I sob when I try to move my wounded leg but unfortunately the pain is too much.
"You didn't have to shoot her," Ethan groans but my dad only rolls his eyes, "I wanted to," He answers and I let out another sob, hearing my own father say things about me like that.
I'm taken back when my dad says, "You're an abomination, who thought you would be a whore for Silas Ludovico?"
I gaze up, staring at both of them with pure hatred. My stomach stirs in nauseous, probably because I haven't eaten in days and I'm losing too much blood.
"We have to take care of her leg," Ethan speaks, massaging his temples, "Let her bleed to death." My father remarks and I let my back fall to the ground.
What did I do wrong?
A tear slips out of my eye as I fall into the familiar darkness like I did the past few days.
ϟ Silas ϟ
"Bingo!" Max shouts and I stare weirdly at him. I haven't slept in days because I can't bring myself to sleep in the bed me and Maeve shared.
"It's not the time to play bingo, Max," Xavier remarks, pacing around the room in anxiety.
"I found her!" Max shouts again and I'm already sprinting over to him, and so are the others.
"She's at an abandoned building an hour away from here," Rowan reads what's written on the computer.
"We're leaving," I say, already making my way toward the room where all the weapons and equipment are located.
I hide my necklace underneath my suit and grab the weapons I need.
The house is filled with chaos as everyone is preparing themselves, getting their weapons and checking Maeve's location once again.
Once I'll have mi amore in my arms again I won't ever let her go. I made a mistake, a huge mistake but I won't ever make that mistake again.
Lei è l'amore della mia vita, dopotutto. [She's the love of my life after all.]
When everyone has finished doing their check-ups we all gathered outside, entering two different cars as we head towards the building.
My hands grip the gun in my lap tighter, a day feels like months and an hour like years.
Eventually, the hour passed by as Aaron parked the car somewhere we wouldn't be seen. My jaw clenches at the thought of that fucker hurting mia vita.
But I also hurt her... Not physically but I did hurt her feelings...
"I'm going inside to find her, I'll be right back." Kayla speaks, comforting Cayden, "What, no!" He disagrees with her idea and I roll my eyes.
Anything to get my tesoro back.
"I'm her best friend and she's not really happy to see Silas." She fires back and I glare at the blonde girl.
But she's right, Maeve would probably kill me if I showed up.
"I'll go with you," Leah speaks up and Mason raises his eyebrow, shaking his head. Kayla smiles at her, "No need to, I'll be right back."
And with that, we separate while Kayla goes and finds Maeve...
Please, be okay mia vita.
☾︎ Maeve ☽︎
I'm surprised this room didn't turn into a freaking swimming pool due to the tears falling from my eyes- or the blood coating my whole body.
I'll be honest, I can't do this anymore.
My face is probably pale from dehydration, my body hurts and I can't feel or move my leg.
When I thought things couldn't get worse, they did.
Because my so-called father stood in the corner of the room and began telling me how he killed my mom- all in detail.
And the whole time sobs escape my mouth because my brain starts playing scenarios I don't even want to imagine.
It's like even my body wants to kill me.
I wonder what the others are doing? I hope they're okay...
My breaths are short, and my lungs hurt. I lost too much blood but Ethan doesn't care.
I think he truly wants to get rid of me now.
I'm all alone in this cold bloody room, Ethan didn't bother to cuff me or lock the door because I can't stand up due to my injured leg.
Right, when I was about to close my eyes they forcefully open again when the door in the room gets kicked open.
I whine, preparing for another few punches or bullets but I frown when I see familiar blonde hair.
My vision is still a little blurry but I know who this is...
"Kayla?" I cough as she runs up to me, crouching next to my body, "W-What are you doing here?" I manage to say.
"Maeve..." She whispers examining the wounds all over my figure, "The others are here too." She talks and my eyes widen.
My vision is flawlessly clear now. I told him not to get me. How did they even know where I was?!
"No..." I shake my head repeatedly and Kayla frowns, "Leave, it's not safe." I exhale a painful breath.
A part of me felt relieved that the others were here, that I didn't have to suffer the unbearable things Ethan did to me.
But the other part of me reminds me that he would probably hurt them. I rather have him hurt me than the others.
I would always choose them above myself.
"But Maeve-," Kayla tries to reason with me but I shake my head, "It's dangerous," I repeat myself and she shakes her head.
A chuckle leaves her mouth, "Don't worry, I wasn't planning on getting you out of here."
I frown at her sudden behavior.
Her hands wrap around the back of my neck and when I think she's going to help me up, she doesn't.
Her hand undoes the necklace around my neck but I can't seem to move my arms to stop her.
"What are you doing?" I whisper, my eyes fluttering close at random times. Kayla pulls away, my moon necklace in her hands.
"What's that saying again?" Kayla whispers.
"Keep your friends close but your enemies closer?" She chuckles and I frown until I get what she means.
My eyes search for hers as the pain intensifies in my muscles, what?
"Kayla, I don't- I don't understand..." I breathed hoping that she would explain it to me, "Let me put it this way, May." She says my nickname like she's mocking me.
"You trust people too fast," She starts, "And 7 years ago, when you were hopelessly alone you made the biggest mistake."
My heart skips a beat when she grins at me and for the first time in my life, I recognize the look on her face.
The same look as Ethan, both evil.
Kayla tilts her head and sighs, "You befriended me. Kayla Ambrose,"
My eyes widen when she pulls out a small pocket knife and positions it in front of my shoulder.
"Hurts doesn't it?" She smirks as she pierces the sharp knife a little in my flesh and I cry out in pain, "Betrayal," Kayla adds.
"I've always hated Nystrom's," She speaks through gritted teeth.
"But- Cayden," I gasp as she digs the knife into my shoulder and my eyes roll back, the pain being too much.
"I'm already bored of him," She sighs and yanks the knife away from me before standing up.
"Good luck with my brother," She smirks before walking out of the room, closing the door behind her.
I have the need to scream at the top of my lungs. Please, be a nightmare.
Why does everyone like betraying me? Kayla she... she was my friend for 7 years long.
Ethan is her brother.
Oh my god. Ethan is her brother. She's an Ambrose, that's why they knew everything about us.
My mind is sent into total panic as my body begins shaking, blood filling up my throat.
Please kill me already.
ϟ Silas ϟ
We've been waiting for exactly 10 minutes straight and Mason had to stop me from entering the building because I'm not a patient person.
Eventually, I sigh when Kayla exits the building. But when I glance beside her I see nobody.
"Where the fuck is she?!" I snap in panic and her blonde friend shakes her head.
"She's..." Her breath shakes as she hides her face in her hands, "She's dead."
Everyone's head snaps towards her and I sense my world collapsing, my ears not wanting to believe what she said.
"How- How do you know?" Leah stutters, "I heard Ethan's voice say that they killed her." Kayla gasps.
"I quickly walked away so he wouldn't know we're here," She adds but I still don't believe shit.
"No, no that's not possible." Rowan chants as he pulls on his blonde hair, Maeve's brothers also going feral.
My eyes find Leah's pale face as she stares at something on Max's phone.
"It's okay," Leah whispers as she walks up to Kayla and goes in for a hug. I watch the interaction with confusion on my face.
And abruptly everyone is looking surprised at the both of them when Leah tugs Kayla's hair back, holding her in place.
"Leah, what the fuck?!" Cayden shouts trying to stop her but I stop him, "What is it?" I question and Max shows me his phone.
The tracker in Maeve's necklace shows that Maeve should be here. Right in front of us.
But instead, Kayla is standing in front of us.
Kayla yells out in pain while Leah dips her hands in Kayla's pockets. Her hand retreats moments later, the moon necklace in her hand.
I frown and grab it from her hands, "Where the fuck is she, Kayla." Leah snaps, catching everyone off guard because she's never angry.
"You're- crazy..." Kayla mutters and I look at Cayden with a guilty look.
"Answer the question," Cayden's voice begins.
"Where the fuck is my sister," He snaps, his eyes filled with genuine hatred and confusion.
"Mason, Rowan," I speak and nod at the building, telling them to follow me. We run into the building, holding our weapons tightly for when we need to kill someone.
I kick down doors, trying to find my girl. I don't care about anything else, just her.
"Silas, here! Fuck!" Rowan shouts, Mason and I already running over to him.
He stands in a dimmed dead-looking room. We reach the room and my heart breaks when I meet the sight of mia vita.
Her face is pale, her hair is covering her face and she has wounds all over her body.
I head over to her and crouch down next to her cold frame, pulling her into my arms and now I spot the blood on her leg, shoulder and her face.
Her lips are a tint of red due to the blood.
"Cazzo, Mason!" I yell, my heart racing inside of my chest. Mason instantly crouches down next to me as he checks her pulse.
"She's weak, we have to go now otherwise-," He stops talking and I instantly get what he means.
"Cazzo, no. Not today." I cuss and pick her up into my arms as we leave the room and make our way out of the building again.
I frown when I see the sight of a blonde girl lying on the floor, "I maybe hit her with my gun..." Leah mumbles and Mason chuckles, pulling her close.
"Nico," I speak as the brunette boy nods before picking up Kayla and pushing her into the trunk.
Yeah, the trunk.
Everyone quickly enters the car and Mason begins doing his work, taking care of Maeve's wound.
I don't dare to leave her side for a second, her hand rests in mine as I don't show my emotions in front of the others.
"I'm sorry, amore. So terribly sorry," I whisper, planting a gentle kiss on top of her burning forehead.
"I'm so sorry..." I mumble again, chanting the three words repeatedly.
It's crazy how she put others above herself, how she forgets that she's human too- she shouldn't have gone through this.
If I had just told her sooner...
"He's not going to hurt you anymore, I swear it on my life." I plant another kiss on the top of her hand while Mason treats the wound on her leg.
Kayla probably wounded her shoulder because it looks fresh.
We're going to take that fake piece of trash to the torture rooms to get some answers out of her.
I'll first as my momma if it's okay tho... I don't hit women. I'll let Leah hurt her, that's a great idea.
Or... I'll let Maeve hurt her? But only when she's all healed.
I'm just fucking happy that she's back in my arms and I will never let her go again.
Ethan made a fucking huge mistake hurting my girl, I warned him and now he's getting war.
I'll fucking burn him to death.
•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•
So... That was something wasn't it? Plot twist after plot twist 😧
Well, now y'all know that Leah isn't the traitor... Did you see that coming? I hope you didn't.
REMINDER Y'ALL ARE FUCKING BEAUTIFUL and FUNNY and I love y'alls comments 😩💜
