Cold Blood, Rebeca Night [black books to read txt] 📗

I knew this place like the back of my hand. The music was killer, and my friends and I were dancing as always. Then I noticed that Ryan was gone. I mean he said he would be back but it has been over three hours now.
"Hay guys I am going go back to my place. If you guys want feel free to follow ok? I am worried about Ryan." I said.
"Sure thing Maria. We can understand that you are worried." Said my friend Brian.
Just then huge arms wrapped around me and not in the good way. I looked up to only find blankness. When I woke up I found me and my friends not at my house in the comfort of my home. I remembered a party and how Ryan had gone missing then.... That is when it hit me, we had been captured. I looked around to find that we were indeed in a cell. It was dark and had random pillars coming from the floor to the celling above. Franticly I looked for Ryan. Yet he was no where to be found. Tears filled my eyes when I met my friend Chris' eyes, no matter what would not let the other die.
"Maria! Oh my gosh Maria where are you? Were am I?" Rain's scream caught my attention.
"Rain!" I cried back as I ran to her and cupped her terrified face in my hands before pulling her into a hug.
It was then that I noticed everyone but me was in chains and could not move. Just then The door opened as I turned around I prepared to fight, yet when i turned around it was non other then Ryan himself. I ran into his arms, not noticing that he came with armed guards.
"Oh Ryan! Are you ok? Did they hurt you?" I said as I squeezed his Stomach.
"Babe, Why would they hurt me? I am on their side." He said as he dropped his hand that hand since then been placed on my lower back.
This pain was too real, as I stepped back I noticed his face was as hard as stone. He looked as if he hated me with every once of his being.
"What? Wait How? What plans did you have for us then?" I ask with a shaky voice and hot tears running down my face.
"Well of course I plan to kill most of you." As he said these words he traced my tear soaked cheeks with the back of his right hand, it was as if he was trying to calm me. "You however have a choice my dear." He spoke so smoothly that it made me feel like we were discussing buying a puppy instead of murder.
"What is this choice you say that I have?" I looked right into his lifeless eyes as I spoke.
"Join me or die with them!" He almost yelled as he pointed back into the cage at all the people we both loved.
"Ryan, you know I will follow you, but can't you spare them? After all they are the ones we have called friends for so long. Could you really kill them in cold blood?" The tears were still running down my face as I spoke.
"I will only spare you! Besides who else would you have me save? Chris?." He yelled as he pushed me away then before I fell back he gripped onto my forearms.
"YES!" The fear was clear in my voice but I felt an odd amount of strength.
"Then you shall die with the one you truly love!" This time he did push me and didn't catch me but I caught my self before I could fall back into the cage.
"Ryan! I love you, you should know this by now. Chris is like a brother to me now. Why don't you trust me?" With every word I spoke I shed a tear for I saw Chris' eyes filled with hurt and pain. I had finally spoken what I truly felt, now I knew I couldn't let him die like this. "If I promise to never see him again or even speak to him, if I forget I even met him will you let him go?" With these words I met Ryan's stone cold eyes and for a split second I could see the hurt that would normally have been there when I mentioned my ex Chris.
"Who else would you have me spare?" He finally spoke as he met eyes with Chris while sliding his arm possessively around my waist.
"Rain!" It took all of me to not look at all the others. I knew I was leaving them to die. I felt like and executioner. Then again I was in a way, who ever I didn't chose would end up being killed.
"Ryan please take me away from here?" I cried when my eyes my younger brothers blood stained chest from a bullet he took for me last night.
"Of course but my love you will have to face them at least once more." As he held me tightly but with love and trying to calm me.
From there we walked into a type of room that you would only see in horror movies. This was about the point when I figured out that I was on the bad side. I was one of those people you see and hate with everything you have. I can honestly say I never saw this coming when I left for the party last night. The room I was in was blood red, quite literally I could see blood stains on the walls and furniture. I clung to Ryan's arm so tightly that I could feel my nails pierce his cold skin.
"Babe it's fine, I am here. He will not harm anyone that I love"
"Ryan? Who are you..." I started to ask before I rose my eyes and saw him.
There was a man, he was sitting on a throne looking chair.His eyes searching me as if I were some piece of meat he was thinking about purchasing.
"She is indeed a fine choice Ryan." The man said with a purr.
He was strong and handsome man but the danger draped around him was very powerful. The only thing telling me that this man was ok was Ryan. Everything else about this man Haunted me to my core. His eyes were beautiful blue but even they were somehow wrong to me. The vibe I got from him made like snakes slithering up my arms and wrapping around my neck.
"I am Rashian, the leader of this fine group." The man said as he motioned around the room while showing his all too white teeth.
I clung to Ryan's arm as I looked around at the "fine" group Rashian spoke of.
"There is no need for you to fear my pet. You are my strongest and loyalist warrior's girl. No harm will come to you, besides you are a fine woman not like the others. You are almost worthy of being MY woman." He sneered with a wicked grin causing Ryan to step in front of me now.
