Chase Around The World

Chapter 29

Ella's P.O.V.

I shifted uneasily on the jets comfy leather. We were all sitting on Brett's private jet waiting to lift off for Ecuador. Grace was curled up asleep on Alex and Brett sat beside me sipping whiskey. I sat curled in the back of the jet my mind swirling around and dazed with possibilities of everyone dying. 

"Ella," a voice cut my thoughts, "stop fearing the worst we will be fine.". The voice was Brett who set a comforting arm around her shoulders.

"How do you know that," my voice was low and broken, "I cannot lose another family member.". My crying started shaking my body, images of my dead friends kept flashing in front of me. 

"Ella. Stop." Brett's voice was assertive but kind, he pulled me into his chest, "I know what I am doing and I know how you feel, but it will all be okay."

"How can you say it will be okay, I cannot do anything. What if you are all busy and I cannot save them? What if they are already dead?" questions swirled around my head causing it to pound violently against my scull. 

"I know you will be able to help them because I was like you once, and besides as soon as I see the a**hole I am going to kill him." His voice went hard and emotionless. I flinched back at the tone, it was too harsh to be the Brett I knew. 

"Why?" 

Brett sighed, "Well I guess I should tell you the story. I was 13 my parents were killed. We were sent to live with our uncle. He was a business man that was always away, we basically lived alone. I had no idea that they were murdered, we were told it was an accident. It was six months later a boy came to the door demanding 6 million dollars. 

"It turns out my parents had gone in debt to keep my sister and I alive. I told him we didn't have it and to screw off. That night my sister was taken from me." Brett closed his eyes and pulled in a hard, sharp breath, the memory hurt him, "A note was left on her bed, get me my money or your sister will work it off. My sister was a year younger at 12 and I loved her to bits. I started stealing large amounts of money and in 4 months I had the money. I was so happy I would get my sister back, I was now 14. 

"I tried for a month to find them again. It was a rainy night March 23, I remember. A knock came at my door, it was the same boy. I handed him the money and he spun around laughing. I called after him 'where is my sister'. He told me she would come tomorrow. That night I could hardly sleep my sister was coming home. The next morning I rushed to the door and there she was, but not how I imagined. She was limply laying on the ground black and blue beyond recognition. She was covered in her own dry blood with pictures strewn across her of how what they did to her. I never knew who did it I never knew the boy."

"Then why kill William for it?"

"In his diary he said you were feisty, that you reminded him of Marie. My sister." Brett's expression went from sad to enraged. "Alex was only in his gang to find out enough secrets to allow the police to get him off my back, if I knew it was him I would have gone myself and stuck a bullet in his head." Brett threw back the rest of his drink and got up leaving me to my thoughts. 

William disgusted me now more than ever. 

"That's why he became a gang leader." Alex had shifted out from under Grace, "He told himself he would find and kill the man responsible for his sisters death. As years passed his heart froze and became the ruthless leader he is now. He looked farther and farther gaining allies and enemies. William saw his growing connections and felt threatened. He started sabotaging Brett. That is why I ended up there. The last straw was he took Andrew. We searched for six months before I got in the gang and saw my brother was not the same man. He was violent and rage filled. They beat him to a hollow form and rebuilt him."

I let the story sink in. William had done all of this horrible stuff, and got away. This time he wouldn't. If he moved a finger towards anyone I would kill him myself.

Hello Wattpadions.... How was this chapter? Action is going to start getting really high. I might upload another chapter this week hopefully. 

Today I was sitting in French class and we were talking, when someone jumped up and said "wait it is only Tuesday" it ruined my whole week. This being said one or two more chapters SHOULD  be updated so do not yell at me if they are not I have made my goal of 2 a week. 

Still want to know who you want to see in the next series of another characters life. I am also deciding whether this story will be two or three books, so give your opinion. 

I hope you all have a great week. Don't forget to...
