Brutal I
Merlina's P.O.V. "The devastating murder of a married couple occurred just two hours before we arrived at the scene at apartment number 210. Neighbors say that they heard a terrifying scream followed by a loud thump. But before they had a chance to inspect the noise the two were already dead and the suspects were no where to be found." The news reporter spoke. I set my plate on the counter next to me before I focused my attention closer to the screen trying to hear every detail. "The death of the two was a very brutal and fatal murder and America's hearts and prayers go out to the families who lost an amazing member." The blonde spoke before I clicked off the t.v "Mom this has to be Justin or Dylan, one of them. If not, both" I said as I paced back and forth. "We're not absolutely positive." She defended. "Momma we know they're killers and this is a homicide that they committed. Nobody knows who killed them, but we do. We can't keep protecting their identity if t
Brutal II
Merlina's P.O.V [next day] "Hey mom I'm going to the police station, then after I'll go to like McDonald's if you want some." I said as I stuffed a twenty dollar bill into the pocket of my shorts. "It's okay I'm fine, just be safe and come home quickly." She said. " I will don't worry" I said whilst dramatically rolling my eyes. "I love you!" She shouted as I made my way to the front of the house. "I love you too!" I shouted back as I closed the front door. As I took a step outside, I let a loud sigh escape my lips as I already knew it would take a lot of endurance and energy to get to my destination. Me and my mother share a car and live in a small, warn down house. We use to live in a huge mansion like building with a maid but after my father was murdered we were evicted from our home and forced to live in the depths of California. Don't get me wrong California is beautiful but just not where I live. We live in the worn down neighborhood with stray pit bulls and high
Brutal III
Merlina's P.O.V "You're fucking joking right? You did not kill my mother I don't believe you!" I yelled as his driver started driving. He opened his mouth to say something but I stopped him. "STOP FUCKING DRIVING!" I yelled at the driver as I started to get more frustrated. "Who do you think you're talking to?" Dylan asked with an attitude. He is a mass murderer, but he killed my mom and that isn't in anyway acceptable especially when she practically raised them. "Shut the fuck up Dylan you think you're the shit because you kill people? No, get the fuck out my face you dumb bitch. If you really fucking killed my mom, just know I'm gonna kill you." I screamed as I burst of confidence ran through me. He pulled his eyebrows together as he nodded his head taking in everything I said. But his pupils flared with anger causing me to become nervous and more cautious. In a matter of seconds I found myself in his grasp as he held a cloth to my face, forcing my to inhale the ch
Brutal IV
Merlina's P.O.V After driving for another 10 minutes the car soon came to a halt, signaling we were at a gas station. My nerves started taking over me making me second guess my self, but I knew if I didn't get away now it would be hell for me later. The doors to the van slowly opened revealing Dylan behind it. He reached over me and unchained my wrist and ankles from the cold metal, allowing slight winces of pain to leave my lips. My ankles and wrist were both bruised and bloody causing a stinging/ burning sensation as it became exposed to the oxygen. He took my arm and helped me out of the car, but as soon as my feet hit the floor a loud screech left my mouth. A terrible amount of pain rushed through my legs as I tried to apply my weight on them. I looked up at Dylan and his expression showed no remorse or sorrow once so ever. He just yanked me back up and continued pushing me forward. "Don't do anything stupid." He spoke as I limped into the gas s
Brutal V
Merlina's P.O.V "J-Justin." I stuttered as my body started trembling in fear. He reached over my body and shared unshackling me from the cold metal chains. As he held my wrist he smirked in satisfaction as he saw my hands shaking. "Do I make you nervous?" He whispered in my ear causing more anxiety to pump through my veins. I stayed silent causing him to release a slight chuckle. After my wrist and ankles were no longer chained he tightly held onto my arm as I limped up the sidewalk. "Oh and when I ask you a question, you fucking answer." He said as we entered the house. I thought that they would live in a warehouse of some sort but no I was completely wrong, their house was an entire mansion. They had a glass chandelier hanging above us and a white marble staircase that cascaded throughout the home. It was ten times better than my dream home. "Do you like it?" Dylan asked politely. "It's okay." I shrugged knowing a lie had just escaped my lips. "Anyways come sit d
Brutal VI
Merlina's P.O.V My eyes flutter open as the sunlight shines directly into my eyes, blinding me with the beams of light. I let out a low groan as I remember that I was no longer in my house, with my mother. But that I was now stuck in a house with the criminals who killed her. I roll out of bed, looking through the dresser, trying to find some pants before I exit my room. I search through the fairly large and stuffed drawer only coming across a pair of ripped booty shorts. I mentally puke, knowing that these were probably some sluts shorts that they hooked up with and ended up leaving the shorts here. "If I get an std from wearing this I swear I'm gonna kill myself." I mumbled under my breathe as I slowly opened the bedroom door. The house was completely silent, sending me a weird, discomforting feeling. I slowly walked through the large house searching making sure I was alone. "DYLAN!" I yelled hoping not to receive an answer. A smirk appeared on my face as silence flo
Brutal VII
Merlina's P.O.V I exit the forest, limping on my right ankle as it endured so much pain from falling on rocks and being stabbed by branches. Based on the amount of time I've been running, it seems like it's safe to come out the forest now. I drag my body out of the dark, dead woods as I see a sports car sitting along the road. A smile spreads across my face as I think of freedom and the help I could receive. I walk closer to the car trying the get some help to take me to calabasas but the closer I get to the car the more clear I can see the faces. After a few more steps forward my heart drops as I see Dylan and Justin observing me through the window. The car door opens revealing an angry Justin. I felt all the color drain from my face as I stood there frozen. His arm started to rise and that's when I noticed the gun tightly hugged in his grasp. "Help!" I screamed as I turned around and started running on my throbbing ankle. Just as I was about to tu
Brutal VIII
Merlina's P.O.V I pull my aching body off of the bed as I grab my clothes and slowly put them back on. My shirt had a few rips in them, since Dylan decided to tare the fabric off of me. "Shit." I whisper as I accidentally hit my sore legs against the bed post. I take a deep breath and wipe away my tears as I exit the room and walk down the dark hallway to mine. Once I get to my room I close the door and quickly lock it, before breaking down in tears. My back slides down the door as I rest my arms on my knees and cry into my hands. My body hurts like hell, I feel like I got ran over by a truck and then hit by an 18wheeler. The pain was unbearable, to the point where words couldn't describe the amount of pain my body was enduring right now. But nothing hurt as bad as my heart did. I understand that they are world class criminals and this is the shit they do, but I thought we just had a certain respect for each other. I grew up with them! T
