36. pay the price

Chapter 36

Oriya Deronte

We went back to our room after we ended up getting into a little brawl over who gets the last cookie. He ended up throwing it off the roof because 'If I can't have it, you can't either.' His words not mine.

Everyone ended up falling asleep again as soon as they got home. Vincent tucked Ryder and Sarah into their beds before he got into bed himself.

I woke up to the sound of some commotion going on downstairs. I rubbed my eyes and looked over to the clock, it was 2PM. I could hear Vincent yelling as Lucas and Theo tried to calm him down.

I threw on a random sweatshirt and sprinted down the stairs to see what was going on. Vincent threw a vase at the wall before punching a hole through it. Theo and Lucas yell for him to calm down but he only grows angrier.

I got a quick look at his face. He was mad. His whole body was shaking as he ran his fingers through his hair in frustration.

He yells again as he punches another whole into the wall. Theo and Lucas try to pull his hand back, but he only pushes them away.

I looked around the house to see it was a mess. There was broken glass everywhere with little drops of blood. The furniture was completely destroyed, flipped over and such. The walls had holes made into them. 

What the fuck is going on?

Kena and Sienna rush over to me with tears running down their faces. Sienna has a piece of paper in her hands as she hands it to me for me to read.

I fold it open,

I'll hand her back to you in one piece if you give me Oriya Deronte.

I never intended for the two of you to team up but now that you have, you'll have to pay the price.

I haven't hurt Sarah in anyway I don't intend to either.

Drop her off at Seaside Bridge at 6pm.

I look up at Sienna and Kena, confused. What the fuck is going on. I hear a loud crash and turn around to see the chandelier on the ground, in pieces. Vincent looks me dead in the eye as he storms toward me.

I take a step back, not prepared for what the fuck he's about to do. He grabs me by my shoulders and shoves me against the wall. Pain shoots throughout my back and shoulders as I wince.

"This is your fucking fault." He sneers.

His hand shoves into his pocket and comes back out with a knife. He brings it up to my throat and I feel blood trickle down my neck.

"Let her go!" Sienna shouts as she brings out her gun and points it to Vincent. Her loyalty to me is unmatched.

Kena brings her out too as she glares at him and the blood he drew out of me. Lucas and Theo stay loyal to Vincent as they bring out their own guns and point it at Kena and Sienna direction.

"Put the fucking guns down!" Lucas shouts.

Kena and Sienna redirect their aim to Theo and Lucas. The four of them death stare at each other as they point their guns to the other's head. Their fingers were pressing down on the trigger, prepared to shoot at either mine or Vincent's orders.

I look back at Vincent. His eyes show anger as they hold a hostile glare. His grip on me was as tight as a vice and he took heavy breaths. His jaw was clenched, and he was slightly shaking. His hands were slightly cut up and bruised up because of how he took out his rage.
