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 flowed through out the household.

"JUSTIN!" I yelled with a smile on my face, knowing they weren't home.

I race upstairs and grabbed the vans I was wearing when I got kidnapped and slipped them on my feet.

This could just all be a test to see if they can trust me, but oh well obviously I'm not to be trusted.

I twisted the knob to the door and took two steps out, immediately sprinting once I spotted some woods.

All that was running through my mind was the fact that I had no idea where I was and if they found me, I would be done for.

With every step I took I could feel myself become more paranoid and afraid. My heart was pounding against my chest as I let my legs take control, and guide me through these woods.

The last thing I want is to be caught.

Justin's P.O.V

As I sat in the meeting, I couldn't help but think that something was wrong. A weird feeling rested at the pit of my stomach causing me to loose focus on what was going on.

My head was telling me to go home but my heart wanted me to stay and collect the information presented at the meeting.

I looked up a Dylan who was sitting across from me to see he was already staring back at me.

"We're taking them out on Wednesday, so y'all will need to be here on Tuesday night to get everything." One of our head men Tyler informed signaling the meeting was coming to an end.

"Meeting dismissed." He said as everyone gathered their belongings.

I stood up and quickly made my way to Dylan.

"I bet it's Merlina, stupid bitch is probably doing something she knows she's not supposed to." I said as anger rushed through me.

"I know, but we need to get back, to see what's going on." Dylan stressed.

I nodded my head as I ran out the building to our Ferrari 458 Italia and racing home going 100mph at a 53 speed limit.

As we pulled up to the driveway I noticed the front door left open sending worry and confusion through me.

"I'll look for her up here and you check downstairs." Dylan said as he grabbed the gun from his waist band.

I ran through the empty hallways checking each room, searching for Merlina but not finding anything at all. Soon I gave up and went upstairs where Dylan was.

"She's not up here." He huffed.

"Yeah and she's not downstairs." I said as I let out a sharp breath of air.

"Well do you think she ran away or someone came and took her?" He asked confused.

I stayed in thought as I pulled out my phone and decided on checking the security footage I forgot I had. I clicked on the app, focusing on the outside cameras seeing her run out towards the forest.

"I'm gonna fucking kill her!" Dylan yelled as he loaded his gun and ran outside with me following him.

We both jumped into the car and drove around the side of the forest, knowing she wasn't going to stay inside of the woods all day. My anger levels started to rise more, every minute that we didn't see her.

Just as I was about to jump out of the car and go get her myself, her frail body comes limping out the side of the woods.

The only thing that's running through my mind is the horrible and terrible things I plan on doing to her, once we get back to the house. And I will have no mercy on her whatsoever.
