Chapter 11

It’s her. I thought she was dead.

Tears welled in my eyes as I pictured her baby face. She has grown so much. I wiped a stray tear away it is not the time to cry. I have to help her get away. She was struggling against the man's hold but when Xavier shot her a look she instantly stopped doing it.

Suddenly, I saw Sam's hand going behind him. He took out his gun and pressed the trigger. The man fell down on his knees as the deafening sound rang through the air. She freed herself from the man and kicked him in the groin. He fell limp on the ground. One of the guards fired at Sam but he dodged it and shot him. Within a second, guns were firing and people were dying. I aimed my sniper on the guard who was now punching Max. I pressed the trigger and the bullet hit him on his arm. This gave Max the chance to free himself from him and he started punching. Two seconds later, he laid dead on the ground.

I kept firing every time I got the chance. Sometimes on the shoulder, chest or on the back. Luckily this gun had a silencer, everyone looked puzzled as to who was shooting those men down but I ignored them.

Suddenly, that man grasped Ashley's hair and forced her to come to the centre. He told everyone to stop and as Xavier turned around his eyes went wide seeing a gun pointed at Ashley. The man threatened him to stop. I could see Xavier contemplating what to do and what not to do.

No! I can’t lose her now.

I filled the sniper with bullets and aimed at the man. I had to be careful as he was holding Ashley infront of him resulting her to cover half of him. One wrong move and the bullet would hit her.

It’s either do or die.

I aimed the gun at him. With fear in my heart, I fired the gun and instantly closed my eyes not wanting to see whom I hit.

Please don’t tell me I hit her.

I opened my eyes and saw him fall onto his knees. It's was so quiet that you could hear even a pin drop on the floor. I hit him ! Thanks to my dad for teaching me how to shoot. Xavier kept firing him until he was dead. The last four Guards looked like they were going to pee in their pants. I mentally laughed thinking of this. Max shot them dead.

As I looked around the place, I saw dead bodies scattered everywhere and blood filling the ground. I instantly gagged at the sight and felt a bit of sadness when I recalled that I had killed them all. Not all of them but quite a good number. There is no time to feel sad I must go now otherwise Xavier is going to find me here.

I packed my things and got down the stairs with the help of the torch. I jumped out of the window to the car. I was about to open the door of the car when a voice stopped me.

"Well, well, what do we have here ?" I turned around and came face to face with a smirking Sam. All the colour drained out of my face and I cursed myself for being so careless.

“Come, let's take you to Xavier. He so is going to enjoy it.” Sam dragged me towards them.

What did I get myself into?

Words were not coming out of my mouth.

He stopped and I saw the others leaning against the car talking to themselves. Xavier's back was facing me so I couldn't see his face .

“Look who we have here ?" All of their attention turned to me and I watched as Xavier narrowed his eyes while Max smirked and Michael had a confused face.

"Hazel, what are you doing here ?" He questioned. His words holding nothing but anger. This is going to be a long tiring night.

Xavier POV

I was shocked to see Hazel here. All dressed in leather with a bag on her shoulder. She looked hot with her hair in a messy bun and a few of the strands framing her face.

"Umm .. actually.” She stuttered as I watched her with questioning eyes.

“Xavier, we have to go now ." Max interrupted from behind me. I nodded my face and Hazel let out a breathe . We were about to get in the car when a voice stopped us.

"H-Hazel ?" Ashley stuttered. Her eyes wide with tears.

Hazel POV

"H-Hazel ?" I stopped hearing a feminine voice. I turned and saw Ashley staring at me with confusion laced in her face.

"Hey cupcake.” I smiled using her nickname. Her face instantly lit up. She dashed towards me and pulled me in for a bone crushing hug.

“Izzy , I -I thought you died." She sobbed like a baby. I felt tears fill my eyes too.

"I also thought you died but when I heard Xavier say your name. I was intrigued to see if it's you or not ." Tears continued to fall from my eyes. After a while we pulled away from each other.

“I missed you so much.” We said st the same time. I chuckled and saw the others looking at us confused.

“Guess we have some explaining to do.” I mumbled while they all nodded their heads. Just then my phone rang, I pulled it out and saw Skylar's ID.

"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?" Skylar shouted and I pulled the phone away from my ear.

"Hello to you too.” I answered sarcastically while Xavier asked me who it was. I mouthed Skylar and we all started to get in our cars.

“I have been worried sick about you."

"I am fine and don't worry we are coming home.”

"We?"

"Yeah, bye.”

"Bye." I ended the call and got in the front seat with Xavier.
