"So what did you see?" Joel asks Melina for the hundredth time and she shivers.

"I said I don't know, Joel. I.Don't.Fucking.Know"

"Joel" I put my hand on my boyfriend's shoulder to calm him down.

He looks at me, his expression softening.

"Hey, Melina?" I almost jump at the softness in Charisma's tone.

She gives us a look and continues.

"I think you should stay over at our house tonight. Your home was raided last night"

Melina bursts into tears.

"Oh, babe" Zabdiel wraps his arms around her and we all (minus the mafia girls) fall into a group hug.

"Whoever this J character is, you guys need to be prepared for anything"

The six of us turn to Roma, Zabdiel, Melina, Chris and Charisma absent.

"What do you mean?"

"Melina was covered in blood" She produced a piece of white cloth covered in red.

"Looks like it's time for a trip to the lab"

"The lab?" Richard asks confusedly but she's walking and she's walking fast.

We have to run to keep up with her and both Kaia and I feel fucked when we reach the lab. 

"Y'all need to work on your strength otherwise when there's a murderer around and you run like that, they'll behead you faster than you can say 'Marie Antoinette'"

Richard scoffs but we follow her to what looks like a scientists wet dream

Until the metal door shuts and a click is heard.

Roma rushes to the door and bangs on it but it's of no use.

We're locked in.

CHRISTOPHER

"So what's your deal?"

Charisma turns in her seat "I'm pretty sure this is your house. Out"

It's three blocks away from my house but I need to know.

"Why were you so gentle towards Melina?"

"Could you just go?" She's irked and she's hiding something.

"What-"

"You wanna know? Fine, I was raped when I was 10."

My mouth snaps shut and I stare at her.

Anger and pain fill those dark eyes, along with a hint of anguish.

"I'm so sorr-"

She holds up a hand

"I dont need your apologies. Just,just...go"

"Charisma!"

"Now!" She says loudly and people turn to stare at us.

A woman in her early twenties, I'm guessing yells our way.

"Boy, you best leave the girl alone right now!"

I glare at her "Mind your own beeswax" 

The woman flips me off and walks away.

My phone pings and Charisma looks down.

Richard ; we're at the Tchaikovsky lab and we're locked in

Charisma and I exchange glances.

We barely start driving before a car crashes into us and my world fades.

A/N ; the first murder hasnt even happened and we getting into drama 🤦
