Rising From the Ashes 187
Grant’s POVSeeing the look of glee on Charlottes face when she opened the wooden box was priceless. Poor Ryan was getting a bit sick of her talking about how she was going to start practicing with them straight away when we got home. I on the other hand thought it was great, I could not wait to see her in action next week when Phillip tried to take her. Charlotte was getting so excited about the party and been able to dance with us all. She was so proud of herself for been able to walk again and dance. Anyone who saw her would find it hard to believe that only a few weeks ago she could not walk. We arrived home at the same time as Jack, I expected him to be the first one to greet Charlotte. I was shocked when Lance came running over and started to talk about adding hidden pockets to her dress for her weapons. The two of them soon ran off towards the house together, I looked at Jack and saw him walking over to us looking like an abandoned puppy.As he was walking past, I heard him sig

Charlotte’s POVWe got home at the same time as Jack, I jumped out of the truck expecting Jack to be there to catch me. I was shocked when it was Lance’s arms that I ended up in.“Where is Jack” I asked trying to look past him.“Who cares, how would you like to help me add some hidden pockets to your dress?”“Why?” I asked confused, then it clicked “Wait for my weapons? So, I can take some with me to the party?”“Exactly” Lance grinned at me.“What are we waiting for” I squealed as he took my hand and we both started to run towards the house.We went straight to mine and Jack’s room “Go put your dress on, where are your weapons?”I handed him the box with my stars in it, then I reached into my pocket to hand him my gun and reached into my lower back to hand him my knife before I slipped into the wardrobe to put on my dress. Lance was sat waiting for me with a sewing kit when I came out.“Ok, we need the pockets to be easy to access, but also well hidden”“What are you thinking?”“Your

Ryan’s POVWhile Charlotte was throwing the stars Lance returned with her harness, he quietly placed it on the bench so that he did not distract her.“I am not sure I like you being this good a shot” I laughed “What if one of us piss you off? I like my junk in one piece”“As if I would ever hurt your family jewels” she chuckled. “My kids might want to play with our kids”I stared at her in shock, but she did not seem to realise what she had said. I glanced at Jack who had a far off look on his face with the ghost of a smile. Did the old dog want kids with her? Now that was a new development. I never thought any of us would have kids, I thought we would all just grow old and die together. Then again in this line of work growing old is a gift.Charlotte toddled down to get her stars while the rest of us started to pack up. “What’s for lunch?” She asked when she got back.I looked at my watch and realised that she was right it was lunch time.“What do you feel like?” Jack asked her as he

Phillip’s POVLife was perfect, I got to destroy the thing growing inside Jane. I had expected it to hurt her the most, but I was wrong, once the baby died the wife broke down and cried. Jane tried to comfort her telling her that she will have another baby for her.“Like fuck you will” I laughed “Doc, remove her womb”“What! No please” the wife cried “She is my chance to have a baby, please I will do anything just leave her womb”I knelt in front of her so that I was eye level “Do I look like the kind of guy who does what a woman asks?”“Please” She sobbed.“No” I smirked as Doc started to perform the surgery.Once it was done the wife lost all the fight in her, she let me do whatever I liked, and I loved it. If I told her to bend over and wiggle her arse while barking like a dog, she would fucking do it.I spent most of the next few days with the wife, Jane had lost her appeal. I made her do the clean up or warm the wife up for me if I just wanted a quick fuck. I was now counting dow

Grant’s POVWhile Charlotte was up in her room getting ready the rest of us had a meeting in Jack’s office.“I have sent you all the location of the warehouse where Phillip will take Charlotte” I told them “I have guards who will advise me as soon as she arrives and will make sure that she is unharmed”“Do we have any idea what Hannah has planned that will cause Charlotte to leave alone?” Ryan asked.“No” I told him “All we can do is make sure that the plan goes off without a hitch. What ever happens we let her leave” I told him. Ryan was the one I was worried might mess the plan up trying to save Charlotte.“Fine, I am going to go see if she is ready” He grumbled as he left.“I am going to go check the warehouse and then I will meet you all at the party” I told them as I left. I wanted to make the final checks. Zac had informed me that Phillip would not be there as he wanted to get to the party early so he could see Charlotte arrive. Jack had not been happy about that, but he would h

Jack’s POVAfter the meeting in my office, I felt scared, I know that Grant had everything sorted and I trusted him. I just didn’t like the idea of letting my girl back in the custody of that prick. After Ryan and Grant left, I told Warren and Lance to go get the car ready. Once I had the office to myself, I steadied myself with a couple of deep breaths and then I went out to meet Charlotte and Ryan. Charlotte had just come out of her room and was spinning around for him.“How do I look” She asked him“Stunning as always” He chuckled.“What about me?” I asked as I pulled her into my arms. I was not sure how I was going to let her go tonight.“Where are the others?” She asked.“Grant had to go check some things and is going to meet us there and I think Warren and Lance have gone to get the car out” Ryan told her.“I am so excited about getting to dance with you all” She grinned “Can you be my first dance?” She asked Me.“Would I ever say no to you” I chuckled. I could not wait to dance

Charlotte’s POVDancing with the men was so much fun, but after Lance spinning me around, I needed to go to the lady’s room. I quickly told Ryan where I was going and then wandered off, I thought it was odd when I heard groaning. I glanced over my shoulder and stopped in shock, I must have made some kind of noise as Jack looked over his shoulder and looked right at me. I quickly turned around and ran out of the exit. I realised my mistake when I heard someone right behind me and my face was suddenly covered with a cloth.After that everything went black, and I woke up to someone whispering in my ear. “Time to wake up”I tried to focus as I realised, I was tied to a chair and looked to be in a warehouse or factory of some kind and my ex-husband was right in front of me “Phillip, long time no see”.“I missed you” he sighed as he started to play with my hair, he always did seem to like my hair. After this maybe I go and get it all cut off.“Then why did you tie me up?” I asked him sweetl

She was so sweet and now she was killing people with out even flinching.I finally came to my senses and grabbed my gun, I was planning on shooting her in the hand or foot. I just wanted to hurt her, not kill her. She had other plans and thew another throwing star at my hand causing me to drop my gun. My hand felt like it was on fire, I tried to get the star out and she came over and pushed me into a chair and forced my hands behind my back and cuffed me. Shit, I needed to get my head in the game.
