Hell-Borne

Not A Chance In Hell

Ace had given Carson the directions, there was a faded road full of rocks, the building wasn't that big, it was covered in moss.

"Of course he would take her here..." Ace growls.

Ace hid his gun under his coat, he continues to walk to the door, he holds his hands up.

"Open up! It's me!" He shouts.

The door opens, a man leads him inside to Keith who sat on the torn up couch.

"Ace!"

"You have a five second headstart to let Lyric go before I kill your ass."

"One question, why her?" He asks.

"You have Victoria's secret models wanting to pounce on your ass but you want Lyric."

"How do you know?"

"You haven't slept with anyone for the past couple of months...and this was after you started hanging out with Lyric."

"You're selfish I must say." Keith says.

Ace cocks his curious blonde eyebrow while he crossed his arms.

"Knowing that you're already in deep shit with me...you're all over her..."

Ace bit his tongue, Keith was right...he should've avoided her but he felt some sort of spark with Lyric, the way she's so passionate, her glares, her playfully slugging him.

"Why is that your concern?"

"Ace we used to be peas and carrots. I know you."

He didn't dare to tell Keith about Remi...that she was knocked up.

"What do you want from me? Money? Drugs?"

"You were my right hand man, I want you back." Keith said.

"No way in Hell-"

"Hear me out, Lyric won't be dragged into this anymore...after all we've messed with her enough."

"The hell are you talking about?!"

"We knew she had some sort of weakness, that little boy is as feisty as his sister."

"YOU PISSANT!" Ace yells, grabbing Keith by his shirt collar.

"We regretted killing the kid Ace, we're not all the way insane."

"You promise never to be around her?"

"I mean...she's fine as hell but I give you my word."

"Then I'll do it." Ace said.

Keith grins. He whistles and the door swung open, Lyric walks out with her head hung low and she covers herself up....as if she did something she was ashamed of.

The man behind her massaged her shoulders.

Ace blows up.

"I'm going to KILL YOU!!!!" Ace screamed at the man. Lyric's eyes widen as her eyes were pink from crying.

Her knuckles were bruised.

Ace runs towards the man, the man was smirking as he points a gun at Lyric's head.

Lyric's eyes widen in shock.

"We had a deal." She hissed at the man.

"Let go of me." She says through her clenched teeth. Ace lunges towards him but several men held Ace back as he was kicking and cursing.

Keith walks between them, he cups Lyric's face in his firm hands.

"Tell anyone about this friendly chat and I'll kill you myself."

Lyric glares at him. Ace manages to get past them, he rips Lyric away from the man.

"I should fucking kill you." Ace said angrily at the man.

"We didn't do much."

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?!!!!" Ace yells. Lyric balls up parts of Ace's shirt.

"I want to go home." She said, he softens his grip around her.

"Don't think I won't forget." Ace said.

Ace leads her outside, his hands tangled in her hair. Her body shook.

"You're not crying." He says.

"I was too scared to." Lyric said, she looks down.

"Keep your head up Lyric." Ace said as Carson opens the backseat.

As Carson drove down the road, Ace took off his coat and gave her some shorts.

"What-"

"Change...your aunt will flip if she sees you like that."

"Turn around." Lyric says, Ace nods and looks away as Lyric changed.

"You can turn around now." Lyric said, Ace grabs her hands.

"I hope you punched that fucker's nose so hard it sunk in his face."

Lyric frowns, rubbing his hands.

"I'm okay, I'm shook but you don't have to worry about me." Lyric says.

"He didn't-"

Lyric hugs him, curling her legs into her chest.

"Just kiss already." Carson said.

"Shut up." Ace snaps.

"You're such a hothead Ace."

Ace rolls his eyes. "I don't need someone to tell me to kiss her."

"Yeah." Lyric piped in.

----------------------------------------------------------

Lyric opens her eyes. She regretted what she did yesterday. She shuts off her alarm and changed into her dull uniform after a long, hot shower.

Naomi knocks on the door. Lyric opens it.

"You're so beautiful you know that right?"

"I know." Lyric said, Naomi pulls her into a large hug. Naomi had been having Lyric go to hair salons to get the look she always wanted.

"Lets go." Naomi says.
