"nice of you to join me MI amour, I've missed you"
His icy voice echoed through my empty house, and sent shivers down my spine.
"aren't you going to talk to me MI amour? Haven't you missed me? "
Still I didn't reply. I just stood there, frozen with fear and shock.
Jason was here, he'd found me even after I ran. How could I be so stupid? Of course he'd find me, he's one of the most powerful gang leaders in the US.
"Ashley, do not test my patience, answer me!" I could feel the anger pretty much radiating off of him, he hated being ignored or disrespected. But still I didn't answer, how could I? I had nothing to say to him.
Before I could even register it happening my body was thrown against the wall, knocking the air out of me. Jason's body slammed against mine, pining me to the wall.
"don't disrespect me mi amour, you know I don't like it. Besides you know what lengths I'll go to to make you mine, need I remind you of your poor sister?"
My breath hitched, how dare he speak of her!? I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes at his words. He chuckled at my sight, gripping me tighter. This caused my sorrow to vanish and my anger to rise. I spat in his face, catching him off guard before kneeing him where it hurts and pushing him away from me.
He was on the floor in seconds, his face contorted in pain from my impact. I took this as my opportunity to run. I sprinted out my room and down the stairs. I could hear that he was following me but I didn't dare turn around because I knew it would only slow me down.
I made it down stairs and bolted for the lounge, he couldn't see which room I had gone into because of his slow start. I had the head start. Now it was just a game of hiding.
I ran to the medical supply cupboard beside the TV, it was currently empty because my aunt and uncle had taken all their supplies with them. Once in I slowed my breathing and went as silent as I could.
I heard slow footsteps entering the lounge, my heart rate picked up and I did my best not to scream.
"come out come out wherever you are, you can't hide forever Ash" I gasped, it not because of what was said. But because of who said it. It wasn't Jason, it was Jake.
He must have heard me because I was soon pulled out of the cupboard and thrown on the couch.
I stared at the floor, refusing to confirm the image of Jake being here. My line of vision was broken by shoes. Not just two pairs, but three. My head snapped up only to see Jake, Jason and Nicholas all staring down at me. Sickeningly evil smiles on all their faces.
"mi amour, I would have thought you'd miss me more"
"I could never miss you, you're a monster" apparently I have found my voice. The bitterness and poison in my tone even scared me.
I stared into Jason's eyes, seeing his shock as well. Never in all the time that I've known him had I spoken like that. I knew I was in trouble now.
" I see you've gained confidence mi amour, you're feisty now, I like it" said Jason with a wink. "Jake, I know you want revenge on me but you've pretty much signed my death warrant now, I never thought you'd be this cruel" Jake just started blankly at me, unphased by my words.
"tsk tsk tsk Ashley, what makes you think you know anything about me? You've only been with me for two weeks, but indeed I am this cruel. Oh and I should expect some respect from you, I can make this a hundred times worse and you know it" my breath hitched, he wouldn't, would he?
Who am I kidding, if he's cruel enough to work with Jason then of course he would be cruel enough to tell Jason about Nick, and Nick would surely die. I can't have that. My eyes were wide and welling up with tears, Jake is a monster. Jake let out a deep throaty chuckle, it was the kind you'd expect to come from a killer in a horror film. Truly terrifying.
"there we go, that's more like it. Fear me Ash, you don't know the half of what I'd do to you if you disrespect me again" I lowered my head in submission, letting Jake know I understood. "Ashley, I told you you'd see Jason again" Nicholas spoke this time, the same poison and sense of authority lining his voice.
"well done Nicholas, you have brought me my love back" Jason's voice was cold and almost emotionless, but there was a tone when he said 'my love' that I couldn't quite put my finger on, care or compassion maybe?
No that's impossible, he's cold hearted and a monster, he couldn't actually have feelings for me....... Could he? Maybe he wasn't that bad, he obviously has some kind of feeling for me, whether it be love or a sense of ownership on me, he still had it. Otherwise why would he have gone through such lengths to find me?
"you are coming home with me mi amour, I need you back" I stared at Jason, is he serious!? There's no way I'm going back there "Jason, no, I can't. I can never go back there and I can never forgive you for what you have done, you're evil and vile and I hate you! " all the boys were taken aback by my words and tone, all they held were hate and anger.
"you will come mi amour, whether you want to or not, you're mine" his voice held authority, I knew I couldn't win but like hell would I go down without a fight.
"no" I sad simply "no?" I could hear the rage building in his voice "no, I'm not going anywhere"
He let out a short laugh that held absolutely no humor, just pure anger and frustration "oh yes you will Ashley, you have no say" he used my actual name. He was angry, maybe I should stop. He could hurt me, I know what he can do. But wait I can also fight. Bring it on.
"that's kidnapping, you can't touch me. I can have you arrested and not only that but I also know where all your clubs secret locations are and where you all meet. I can take your whole club down."
Jason and Nicholas both clenched their jaws and fists. Jason raised his fist to strike me, but I was quicker and I knew all his strategies. I moved over avoiding his punch and threw my own fist to his throat, making him choke and fall back. Next Nicholas made a move at me, I easily dodged and side kicked him hard in the stomach. Two down, one to go.
I lifted my leg in a swift movement, going to make a kick but Jake easily caught it and spun me so I fell to the floor. Before I could make another movement he was on me, his knees by my sides, pining me down.
He punched me several times in the face, I could feel my face swelling and going blue. My lip was split and blood was covering my mouth. He shifted slightly and I saw my opportunity, I raised my knee and kneed him hard right where it hurts. He immediately rolled off me and rolled around in pain.
I got up, feeling a sense of accomplishment. Looking around I saw Jake still rocking back and forth, Nicholas was still gripping his abdomen and trying to catch his breath, I must of winded him. I looked to where Jason had fallen......... But there was no one there, I turned around frantically trying to spot him be he was nowhere to be seen. I ran from the room and up the stairs to my own room.
Locking the door I fell on to my bed and began to hyperventilate, my actions and the situation only hitting me now.
I lay there a few minutes, hearing only movement in my lounge. They were still here but not coming up. Maybe I could escape through my window?
Just as I was about to make a move for my window my phone started to ring, I hesitantly moved over to it, fearing who it could be.
I let out a breath of relieve when I read Jess's name on my screen. I picked it up only to be met with silence.
"jess? You there?"
"oh shes here just a little 'tied up' at the moment" i gasped, it was jason he had jess, oh my god this is all my fault. He cant hurt her!
"what have you done with her!?" i was frantic, what if he hurt her!? I cant let this happen.
His vile laugh rang through my phone.
"nothing, yet, at least. You can still save her you know, come back with me" it almost sounded desperate. But i couldnt go back, but what about Jess? What am i going to do?
"you have 2 days to make up your mind, choose wisely mi amour" with that he hung up.
As i was about to head down stairs i heard a crash. And then more movement. What was going on?
I carefully made my way down stairs. Doing my best to make no noise.
I got to the lounge and peered in, there was someone standing over the unconsious bodies of jake and nicholas.
I let out a scared whimper which he obviously heard because he turned to face me.
"im sorry, i didn't know what to do. I couldn't find you" I let out a relieved breath and ran to him.
"thank god you're here, I was so scared" i was lightly crying now.
"don't be, I'm here now and no one is going to hurt you, i love you Ash"
"i love you too nick"
