R*A*T*S (Sequel To A*M*E*R*I*C*A)

Chapter 16

Ricky's POV:

My finger trembled as I slowly pulled the trigger, but before I could fully pull it back, the sound of sirens blared out from a distance. I gasped as I turned to see a group of five or six people riding in on motorcycles, all of them with sirens. Before I could react I was pushed on my back and my eyes widened as I saw Chris hovering over me. His eyes were a dark red but his left eye kept twitching.

"R-run." He managed to mutter out before a gun shot rang in my ears. My eyes widened, my body violently shaking at the sudden impact.

The lump in my throat went down as my beloved Chris collapsed beside me, the gun still in my hand as I had just shot him in the chest. I let out a sob as I watched Chris's tall body contort as he cried in pain. Blood was pooling around his body as he held onto his chest with his hands. I stood up immediately dropping the gun in the process and I covered my mouth at the sight. I felt a pair of arms around me as they pulled me away from Chris's dying body.

I choked back tears as I turned to hug Kuza who was the one behind me. Kuza held me tightly as I let out a sob and I felt my shoulder get a little wet and I knew he was crying silently.

"Well well well. Look what we have here." My ears perked up as I heard the familiar voice of Rob. He was walking up with Sheri around his arm as always, both with sinister smiles. Rob gripped his cane with his free hand as he stopped in front of us. The cyclists all stopped, still circled around the rest of us. We huddled together keeping our eyes on the figures around us, Manson standing in front of us protecting like.

"Zombie, just let them go. Take me if you want but don't hurt my family."

I choked back tears when he called us family before looking back down at Chris's lifeless body. He was wearing dark smoky eye makeup, and his eyes were closed making them look like empty sockets. Chris..

"AS tempting as that offer is my friend, I'm gonna have to decline. You see, that was my initial plan but then I found something much more valuable." Rob lifted his cane and pointed the end towards Chris.

"Chris Motionless. America's tallest man. But think of this, Chris Motionless, America's tallest vampire." Rob let out a chuckle. "Along with your other freaks, and Hyde's army, I would rule this world."

We stayed silent, nobody said a word. Kuza held me tighter.

"You'll never get us to join you. We would never!" I gasped softly at Mike's sudden outburst.

"Matt!" I heard Kuza half yell at his fiance, but the smaller man didn't seem fazed. Rob tilted his head as he approached Matt who didn't budge.

"Matt is it? You're pretty brave for being such a small thing. Unfortunately, I have no need for ALL of you." He emphasized the word all. We stayed silent for a moment before Rob smiled and turned away lifting a hand up.

"Take the pathetic ones."

All of a sudden, the cyclists hopped off of their bikes and charged for us. They threw off their helmets and I realized they were the other freaks in Robs circus. Ashley, Vinny, Nikky, Dahvie and Heidi. But...where was Carla? It didn't take long for them to apprehend me along with Matt Ash, Dani, the twins and even Manson who seemed to surrender easily. I struggled to escape Ashley's grasp but he was stronger than me. I watched as Jimmy attempted to rescue Ash who was crying out for him but gasped as he was taken down by a swift blow to the head by Rem. I struggled to break free and felt someone grab me by the hands. I opened my eyes to see Kuza in front of me, determined to help me escape.

"Oh no you don't." Ashley smirked. He pushed me forward making me run into Kuza causing him to fall back hitting his head hard. My eyes widened as I watched Kuza lay seemingly unconscious on the ground as Rem dragged him away by his ankles. But not before adding insult to injury by sticking his tongue out at me. For a moment I struggled to fight but then I heard a gunshot ring in my ear and I felt a warm liquid drip onto my face. Then i felt Ashley's grasp loosen on me as he fell to the ground holding onto his shoulder. That's when I saw the blood and knee he had been shot. My head perked up as I saw Vic holding his gun in his hand aiming towards me and knew he shot Ashley. I looked back down at Ashley biting my lip trying not to feel sympathy for him and ran towards Vic and the others. Ash, Dani and the rest had been tied up now sitting on the ground with Heidi, Vinny and Nikki surrounding them. Manson kept his head down not looking up at anyone as Rob stepped in front of him. I flinched as Rob held his cane back and swung it across Manson's face causing the man to fall to his side.

"Take them away! And take care of those four street rats in the mean time. But keep the kitten apart. I want him for myself." With a swift turn on his heels, Rob walked away with Sheri by his side naturally. I fell to my knees, my entire body was shaking, my chest felt heavy and everyone's crying and pleas became a loud ringing in my ear. My eyes glanced around at the scene and I felt hot tears streaming down my face. Ash, Dani and the twins were unconscious and being dragged away by some dudes with masks. Matt was by Kuza's side with Jaime standing next to them holding his weapon up I guess protecting them. Mike and Vic were trying to rescue the others but were stopped by Vinny and Nikki. Tony was running towards me and I felt him pick me up in his arms. I didn't move or even blink as he carried me somewhere and I felt myself blacking out. My head hung back as the last thing I saw was Chris's body still lying on the ground.
Then everything went black.
