36. Chapter 31
Evie
Present Day
“It’s starting.” Damion lets the others know. “My father’s not going to let it go. She has to show her worth or be killed trying.” I grind my teeth. Everything I was trying to avoid just landed back in my lap.
“Lizzy, someone needs to get Lizzy.” I start shaking.
My thumbs start sliding down my sides looking for the comfort of my knives.
I knew this time would come, honestly, I always knew.
I ran to better us all to save us. Not just myself but Lizzy.
The guys. Sometimes things aren’t just about yourself.
I could die and I would be at peace with it.
But them, it would destroy. “What will I have to do?” I hold my head up.
“My father won’t tell me. You need to be prepared for everything and anything they have to throw at you.
All your weaknesses will come to light. You know how things are run here Evie.
” Damion comes over and starts to shake my shoulders.
“Why do you think we were so pissed when you did this?” He rubs my knuckles over the DEMON.
“Not that we didn’t want you. Not that we didn’t care.
It’s actually the complete opposite. You broke us by choosing this life instead of running. You ran but it was too late.”
I look at all my guys one by one and my heart breaks.
Damion’s hands are clasped over his gun like he is ready for something more.
Treven looks around and pulls out a tablet.
“I’m tapping into the security system, we need to be ready for everything that’s coming.
Emmit smoke dips. As his mask starts to fall.
“I’m going to get high. I don't know how much I can take.” Sylus stands there and I look at him.
“You know I brought Sara here for a reason. For you to use her. We can’t kill her off Evie.
I would do it for you if I could. But you will need her. ”
I shake my head and put my palms to my eyes. I suck in a few deep breaths and look back up. Marcus takes a hair tie and ties up his hair. What I wouldn’t do to just run my hands through those locks. “Have you been training since you left?”
I nod my head. “Yes. I’m not stupid Marcus. I got this and you know I do. Want me to show you.” I wink.
He smiles but barely. “Evie we have all the faith in you. Please don’t worry about Lizzy, we will get things out in place for her ok. He pushes a strand behind my ear.
“I think there’s some things I need to tell you.” It’s taking everything in me but it’s time. We can only keep things in for so long, before it turns into a poison in your gut. “Lizzy is..” Before I am even able to get another word out, I hear him.
I freeze as memories start to flood my vision.
“That’s her.” His nasally words make me sick to my stomach.
I’m forcefully dragged outside. I laugh in hysteria.
Oh he couldn’t let his prize pony go. With one arm thrust up against my back the cold metal tightens, and clicks.
With my free hand I point my two fingers like a gun popping it like the triggers pulled.
Blowing on my fingers. I give the officers my hand.
“He’s mine, boys.” I scream in pure hatred.
His slimy slicked back hair and beady rat eyes lock on to mine.
“Don’t worry dear stepdad, Lizzy isn't yours. No matter how hard you tried.” The officer thrusts his body into mine and pushes me into the car.
With the window rolled down I stick my head out.
“You need to take care of Lizzy with all your hearts. You will be crushed if anything happens.” My throat burns from all the yelling and screaming.
That mother fucker thinks he he’s won but in reality he just laid his bed ten fold. And this time there is no mercy for this son of bitch. With the guys at my side I’m ready for war. Bring it on motherfucker. Give me all you got because this time I’m not someone you’ll see coming.
