Chapter 9
I thought there was more to life than surviving but I was wrong.
I gazed at the door to see Alex holding a shotgun in his hand pointing it at mine and Hazel's forehead. I kept trying to think of ways to distract him to get the gun and use it against him but I got nothing. Hazel looked at me and her face was filled with a melancholy expression. She held one hand to her wound and I understood right away that something was wrong. I tried to communicate with her but Alex was watching us like a hawk after a piece of meat.
"HAHA, YOU CLEVER LITTLE BRATS. I SEE THAT I WAS RIGHT. YOU HAVE ABILITIES!" He roared.
Out of nowhere bright flashing images consumed my vision.
Images of me and Hazel being used against our will. Our parents are dead and the world is a catastrophe and fires roaring throughout the countries. I had to change that. I had to make sure I was always free and never used.
"ALEX GOOD YOU FOUND US BUT NOW THAT YOU KNOW ALIRON WANTS US SO BADLY DO YOU WANT TO MESS WITH US?!" I screamed.
I could see that the words had an impact on him because he started moving back and forth. I looked and formed a plan with signals. Then we got to work.
"Alex, please let us go. I just feel like if you let us go then we can protect you!" Hazel answered.
It was as if she could charm and speak her way to a deal.
"Come on! You know that we can use our abilities to help you," she continued. As she kept talking I took slow steps back until I reached the table. I put all the contents back in a bag as slowly as I could. I then was about to grab a pocket knife when-
"AHHHHHHHHHH!" Hazel screamed in pain.
Alex had to throw Hazel on the floor and squeezed her wound. Tears filled her eyes and anger grew within me. I got a bat I found in the corner and smashed it across Alex's face. I started kicking him violently.
"YOU LITTLE -!" He was stopped with a smack on the face.
Hazel laid on the floor clutching her wound trying to hold back screams. I felt as if to kill him at that moment. When I gazed at Alex again he pulled my leg and threw me across the room. I smashed into a small table. I groaned and tried to stand up. I noticed that Alex had picked up his shotgun and was aiming it at Hazel.
"YOU LITTLE DOGS!" Alex roared.
"YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN DEFEAT ME! I WAS TRAINED TO KILL!!!" He answered. Pieces started to form in my head. Alex was one of the first alphas being trained. I had to stop him from hurting Hazel at any cost.
"ALIRON JUST NEEDS A COUPLE MORE PEOPLE INCLUDING YOU!" He pointed at me.
"What about Hazel?" I asked.
Alex burst out laughing. He took a seat on a chair by the door.
"Well Hazel was originally meant to be created as one of our special weapons but since I told my leader she was killed. I can just kill her but I'm going to torture her first. I'm going to make you watch as well!" Alex replied.
I wanted to kill myself at that time. I can't watch Hazel suffer. We needed to get out of here but one thing stood in the way, Alex.
I had to knock him out.
"I HOPE YOU SUFFER ALEX! I'VE SEEN THE FUTURE THROUGH MY VISIONS AND SUCH AN EXCITING LIFE AWAITS YOU! FILLED WITH SUFFERING!" I yelled.
I could see Alex was vexed.
"SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP DORK! I'll MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE A VERY PAINFUL FUTURE AND I KNOW EXACTLY WHO IS GOING TO DELIVER IT!" Alex screeched.
I wanted to ask him who the person was but I had to stall him long enough to knock him out.
"WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FAMILY ALEX?!" I asked.
I hoped I hit something within him. He looked at me shocked.
"How do you know about my family dork?" Alex replied.
I knew that I had to be careful with my words. I gazed at Hazel for a quick second. She laid circularly. Like she was trying to conserve heat. She looked at me with a painful nod.
"I saw them, Alex. I know where they are!" I answered.
He fell forwards. He regained his strength and stared at me.
"EVEN IF YOU KNEW WHERE MY FAMILY WAS I COULDN'T CARE. ALIRON PROMISED MY FAMILY BACK IF I HANDED YOU TO THEM!" He shouted.
"NOW BACK TO THE LITTLE BROKEN PUPPY!" Alex cheered. I felt life crashing down on me. I slowly walked by Hazel. I had to think of knocking him out but I couldn't.
"AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Hazel screamed.
Alex had kicked her. He continuously did it. He gained a positive emotion from my negative feelings. After hearing Hazel screaming and groaning I had enough. I'm not letting this guy hurt her anymore. I slowly walked to the table counter and grabbed the knife.
"HEY YOU LITTLE GOOD FOR NOTHING DIRTY PIG!" I yelled.
Alex turned his gaze away from Hazel and now on me.
"WELL, I WAS WRONG TO THINK THAT YOU WERE STUPID! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? GIVE ME A LITTLE MARK! I HIT YOU AND SHOT YOUR LITTLE PARTNER!" Alex replied. I continued to advance forward.
"I HOPE YOU ROT IN HELL JACKASS!" I roared.
I ran towards him at full speed. Determined to make him suffer when he turned his gun around and slammed it on my shoulder wound. The knife fell on the floor and I tumbled back. I could feel blood on the back of my head, I tried to stand up but Alex slammed his boot in my face. I crawled on the floor as he walked to Hazel once again.
"Jamie go run .Please save yourself," Hazel whispered.
Pain washed across my face. I tried to stand up but Alex was already by Hazel.
"SAY GOODBYE TO JAMIE PRINCESS!" Alex cheered.
I had to do something in the next few seconds. I looked around and noticed the knife inches away from me. I crawled and grabbed it. I used the last strength I had inside me to stand up. Just when Alex was going to shoot Hazel, I ran like my life depended on it and plunged it in his neck, causing his gun to slip from his grasp. Blood squirted everywhere. On my face, clothes and all over the cabin. I couldn't believe what I just did. Before Alex got drained of blood, he roared.
"IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I DIE JAMIE. TATIA CERISE WILL COME FOR YOU AND SHE DOES NOT FAIL ON THE JOB! WISH THAT YOU CAN SURVIVE HER!" Alex yelled.
With that, he put one of his hands on his neck. I ran to Hazel.
"You did it!" Hazel whispered.
I could clearly see that she was hurting inside. Bruises and scratches were plastered on her soft skin.
I sobbed. I brought some first aid and started to mend the injuries she had. We started to pack our things away when I recognised that something was still left on the broken table. The rectangular box.
I threw it in the bag as well as other things we found while looking around the cabin. We were about to go when a loud screech came from within the cabin. Alex had pressed a small button from his pocket. I ran towards him and smashed it into pieces. Alex looked dead to me but I checked just in case. I checked to feel any pulse but couldn't find one. We went outside to see a Black shining motorcycle parked outside.
"Hazel, what have I done?" I asked.
