Chapter - Six

Scene: Rose goes to her apartment after her work

Rose's pov-

"Argg I am so late and it's pretty cold now too" I whined while rubbing my sides with one hand to get some warmth because my other hand was holding my phone to my ear.

"But why the fuck are you late in the first place, usually don't you get free around 7:30?" She asked with a confused tone from the other end of the call "it's freaking 9:45 now Rose, it's too late and dangerous for you to be out all alone" she said worriedly.

I can see a frown on her face.

I smiled a little at her worried behavior, she always act like my old sister when we both are of the same age.

"I am sorry I met someone at the cafe and that person wanted to talk for a while then we started chatting then it got late I didn't notice when day turned into the night" I explained and turned to an alleyway. This is a shortcut I usually use when it gets late but I was never been this late.

She gasped " don't act like it's nothing Rose, it's not safe do you want me to call mike or Jason they will walk you back safely," she said in a suggestive tone.

"Nooo it's okay baby don't bother them you know they both were working all day they must be tired and I am just 15 minutes away-" I was explaining to her when I heard a loud crashing sound from one dark corner. My head snapped in that direction I froze in my spot. I waited for any further noise or movement but when nothing came. I frown.

Hmm.. maybe a cat

I thought to myself and turned to walk further "aaa bell I will call you after reaching my apartment okay" I said to her but my eyes again followed that dark area.

"Okay be safe," she said I hummed and cut the connection. I put my phone in my pocket and took a step further but halted abruptly when I heard a cry.

My breathing rate started picking up and goosebumps appear on my whole body. That was a woman.

I turned around on my feet and took some slow sneaky steps toward that wall. I leaned against it to hide and then took out my head a little to look at that small dark area. My eyes became wide and my heart dropped into my stomach at the view in front of me. My heart was beating at the speed of light I think and sweat started covering my hands and forehead. I could hear a thumping sound in my ears and my legs started shaking.

There were standing two big bulky men all dressed in back, their backs were facing me but from where I was I can see they had tattoos around their necks. Something was written on their necks and that seems familiar but it was too dark to understand that. I flinched when one of them kicked someone who was on the floor. They both started yelling But I couldn't understand anything because they are speaking a different language. Probably french. My frown became deep when I couldn't find anyone else.

Who are they shouting at??

But then I saw something which no one should see at least when they don't have any protection.

"Please! please! don't...don't kill me, please...i. I have a baby at home please don't-" before she could even complete one of them shot her between her eyes and started laughing.

I stumbled backward and put my whole weight on the wall to hold myself up. My one hand covered my mouth. My chest was going up and down at a very fast rate.

There was a woman probably in her late 20s on the ground almost with no clothes on and now she was dead. Her body had several cuts on it.

"I sho..should not have seen this" I whispered to myself in between my heavy breaths.

"Yes you shouldn't have sweetheart"

I flinched at the sudden voice which was near my ear.

I raised my eyes only to find both of them standing on my both sides with sadistic smirks on their dirty faces. Now when they were near I could finally see them properly.

One of them had dark black hair and a long scar on his face looks like he is around 30 and the other one had hair that was dark purple and he was pretty young probably 23 or 24 but something which made my soul leave my body was those tattoos on their necks.

Now I can properly see them...they..they both work for....k diamond.

No no no not again I can't get stuck there again.

When they find me staring at that tattoo on their necks and then turning pale. The purple guy raised an eyebrow and shared a look with the other guy.

He tilted his head and take a step further but I backed away only to be hit by the wall

He squinted his eyes " do you know what that means little girl?" He asked while pointing to his neck tattoo and looking at me with those fucking eyes which are scaring the hell out of me.

But right now I can only say one thing which is if they touched me they gonna fucking regret it.

"N-no I don't know " I muttered looking down.

Fuck you rose can't even act normal huh...at least don't stutter it's embarrassing.

"But it doesn't seem that way" the purple guy spoke trying to hold me by my wrist but I yanked him off.

"Don't you dare touch me or you gonna beg for your lives later! " I said pushing him and walking away but one of them pulled me back by my waist.

"Ohhh seems like this kitten got claws huh??...but right now we just wanna know how you know about k diamond?? how ??" He asked looking down at me and squeezing my waist tightly. I closed my eyes and tried to push him away but that fucking didn't even move slightly.

"That's none of your business anyways it's not like you guys are infamous for your actions," I said trying to get out of his hold but he is too strong.

Fine then let's use the classic move,

I kicked him where the sun does not shine with my knee. His smirking face turns into a painful one and his hold loosens on me. I pushed him with all my strength and he fell back on the ground while groaning in pain.

1 down 1 left

But before I could turn around the other guy yelled and hold me by my waist from the back. His arms went around my arms locking me in. I wiggled thrashing my legs. I need to do something before the other one can get his control back.

I bite the purple guy on his arm. He screamed then pull his arm away but held my hair with the other.

I screamed in pain he was pulling on them while yanking his hand which was bleeding now. But then my eyes landed on the gun which was tucked in the waist of his pants.

Yeah yeah, Rose, this is the chance, it's enough to stop them maybe a shot in the leg or arm.

I slapped his face which lead to his face turning to a side. He yelled at me in anger but before he could do anything the gun was in my hand.

He was about to hit me back when.....i...I shot him in his chest.

His eyes became wide and his gaze shifted between his bloody chest and then the gun.

He fell to the ground, I stared at his dead body in shock. I didn't mean to ki..kill him..i..i.re-

"You killed him you fucking bitch!" The other guy yelled and took out his gun raising it towards my head.

"I..i..did-" I stuttered while shaking and looking at my hands.

I am not a killer no..no..no

"SHUT UP!" He yelled, I flinched and closed my eyes expecting some pain. Because he was about to shoot me. I flinched again when I heard a gunshot closings my eyes more tightly.

1 second....nothing

2 seconds.... nothing

3 seconds....nothing.

I frowned when I felt nothing. I slowly raised my shaky hand to my head to find any kind of blood or something but there was nothing. I slowly opened my eyes only to find that black-haired guy laying on the ground with a hole in his head and wide eyes. He..he was dead too

My breathing started to get uneven, my chest started contracting...it..it became hard to breathe. My heart was beating too fast. My legs were like jellies under me. I was feeling pain in my stomach and everything started to become fuzzy.

I am having a panic attack. No..no. this isn't the right time.

There is someone else here too I need to run I need to escape or I am gonna die.

I kept the gun in my hand and my hold tightened on it. I gulped down my saliva blinking my eyes trying to clear my blurry vision.

I gathered all my courage and took a step further almost falling when

"Hello baby" I heard a deep voice say from behind. My body froze on its spot.

I know that voice...that voice..that voice that I use to love but after some point, it started to haunt me. My life's worst nightmare.

He is someone who promised me he will keep me safe but he didn't.

No...no I just ran away from him I don't wanna face him again.

"Hmm wouldn't even say hi little one, don't you think it's pretty rude" I heard him say again but I didn't speak or turn around. I gulped and took a shaking breath.

1..2..3...................... run!

That was it I ran as fast I can, I ran wherever my legs were taking me without looking where I was going.

It was until I tripped over something and fell on my face on the concrete. My whole body stinks, it's like someone pressing needles into my flesh. Putting my hands on the cold concrete sitting back on my knees which were bruised now. I turned my head to look back but was only faced with darkness.

He didn't chaise me??

No..no I can't take this risk.

I touched my jacket's pockets to check if my phone was there, I sighed when I found it.

I took out my phone from my pocket and with shaky hands, I clicked on his contact.

Because he is the only one whom I need right now and who is enough powerful to save me from him.

I don't wanna meet him...not again

He was never worth my time and emotions.
