RavenI finish the call with Dave and stand in the silence of the house. Why would Grayson call Dave and not me? That part alone has me questioning his intentions. Yet, I am alone. Emmett mentioned his mum being hurt before leaving. So the stories do match. I just don't understand why Grayson would call Dave. If less as Dave said, it was to tell him to stay here so I wasn't alone.I can't not go. Right now I am alone, and a target. Getting on the bike I ride to the offices. Stopping outside I relax when I see the brother's bikes.So they are here. Standing, I look around. The place is quiet, surely if their mum was hurt there would be more cars here? Hitting, the messages on my phone I send one out. I can't just walk in there and hope for the best. If nothing is wrong, sure it's a wasted trip, but I can't walk in and not make people aware.Walking in I go to the lift, and reach the top floor. As I make my way through it's quiet. My eyes scan everything. I hear a groan, and turn, walki
RavenMoving he walks around Grayson and Emmett."Now which do I kill first Raven?" I move my hand faster, the knife constantly catching my skin. I hear Emilia next to me, turning I look at her.She nods at me, and I stay confused. Her eyes begging, I glance back to Grayson who is shaking his head and glaring. Wait? No. I shake my head at her.I can't say anyone especially not fucking her."Just choose me Doll." Grayson smiles."Choose Raven." Gary turns and walks towards me. "Before I get bored, and show them how a real man fucks.""Fucking choose!" I turn and glance at Emmett. "Please Raven, we're dead anyway, it makes no fucking difference, don't let him do that!"I can't choose. I feel tears in my eyes."Please, Raven. All you need to do is say my name, just say it." Grayson looks at me. I feel the rope loosening around my wrists. I nod, and he tries to smile at me."Grayson." The words are cried from my lips, If I’m not quick enough, he’s dead. Gary laughs at my choice and walks
GraysonI can't close my eyes, they only widen more as I watch him throw her down. I'm ready for the knife to hurt her when I hear the gun and watch him fall.Hawk rushes past and pulls him off her. She's alive, I breathe a sigh of relief and feel my hands undo. Moving quickly, I pick her up, checking her body."She will be passed out, that is one hell of a hit to her head." Doc looks at her. "You three are in worse shape. Get sorted, we will take her back to the compound in a car follow through on bikes if you must." I don't want to let her go, but right now she is safer going with them. Nodding, I watch as Diesel takes her from my arms and carries her out."What the fuck?" Emmett looks at me."We need to sort ourselves, clean up this shit, sort mum, and everything else. She's safer with them right now. Call the doctor through to come here.I watch as our mother walks to us, guilt covering her face."Don't, you're not to blame!""I am, you tried telling me and I ignored you. I am als
RavenI wake with a pounding in my head like never before. Slowly, the memories of what happened slip back through, my eyes snapping open, and I take in the room around me. Sitting up slowly I look around myself, unable to recognise the unfamiliar surroundings. There is a smell of grease, which overloads my other senses and adds to the confusion.My mind goes back to last night, or rather this morning. I remember Hawk leaning over asking if I was okay, then Grayson, then nothing. Did Gary die? Glancing down, I notice the bandage around my wrist. I can't just stay in here, even if I have no idea where I am. Climbing from the bed, I'm still fully clothed.Opening the door I step out into the hall, and stop when I see a motorbike. Ashton? He's the only crazy fucker I know who would have a motorbike inside for the show.Walking down the hall I hear the buzz of voices and laughter. Then I hear a familiar voice and run towards it. My arms throw around Ava and hug her. Throughout everything
EmmettWe had gone to see Hawk, but Raven was still out of it. So we left again. It's been hours now, and I'm sure she will be awake, extra security is needed though.I watch as the guys work, and our mother stands unamused."Boys, this is excessive." She laughs slightly."It is seen as excessive, but if it protects her from anything, is it really that excessive?" Grayson looks at her. "Would you say it is excessive if it stops her getting hurt tomorrow?"I watch her eyes roll. It isn't often we're attacked. Most don't even try to stand up and fight us. Most don't come to our place to attack us.So our security was purely cameras and a locked gate. Now though that's changed. The twenty-four-hour manned entrance I do think is excessive, but if it protects Raven then I won't complain."You realise he is dead right?" She laughs slightly and Grayson frowns."Until we get into that locked file on his phone, I'm assuming the fucker is alive and has a twin." We all laugh at that. Although he
RavenI go to get my phone, and Grayson stops me."It's nothing bad. Well, not in the way you are thinking.""Right, well tell me?" I sit waiting, If it isn't bad in the way I think, it's still bad. So what? What else could it be?"Alexa called me before I came in. Tomorrow night needs to be cancelled.""Wait, why?" I sit shocked, why the hell does it need to be cancelled? "She sold out, there wasn't a seat spare, so why?" So much work went into it.He looks at me full of guilt. What did he do?"Ruth is refusing to let her dancers work there. She warned them, if they dance for her even if it is their night off, they are out of a job."I stare at him. "This is my fault." I hit her, I caused it."No, it isn't, it's my fault. I should never have stepped foot in that place." Grayson looks at me."Partly my fault for banning her from the city." Emmett laughs."Alexa can't cancel!" They look at me like I'm crazy."She has no dancers Raven." Ashton looks at me."I know, but she can't fucking
AshtonOnce Grayson agreed I knew I had no choice but to agree. Hell, the hassle we would get if we didn't help her isn't worth it. I'm standing with Ella, Alexa is with Emmett and Sasha is with Grayson. Although Grayson is fine, I feel like Raven has him practising and learning so we don't complain that he gets to escape it.Raven looks highly amused with herself as they teach us to dance. Yet, I wonder if she has considered this fully? Something tells me she won't enjoy tomorrow night. It's not easy watching her dance with guys. Even though we allow her, it's taunting and makes us jealous. I honestly don't think she has realised how jealous she will get when we dance with women.Right now it's tense. We're stopping and starting. Tomorrow night, there isn't any stopping. So will she kick off? She looks far too amused right now. I keep questioning why I am agreeing to do this. Had Grayson not given it, saying no would have been easier."Pay attention!" I turn and look at Ella. She kee
RavenToday is going to be a long day. I have already spent most of it at the club with Alexa setting up. While I wanted the guys to practise today, I decided not to. So they are either dealing with business or hiding away and relaxing until tonight."I will sort it." Turning I look at Alexa confused as she hangs up the phone. Why do I feel like something is going wrong? "Rob here.""Why do you need Rob?" He's security."Because tables need moving." I watch Rob reach us. "I need you and some guys to move everything. Tables need to be closer together still with room for dancers. I need more tables.""How can you fit more tables?" Is she crazy? I laugh slightly."I've had a lot of calls today asking if there is space. I told them to come queue, and if someone with a ticket didn't show then yes. Now though, I want to make room so more people can fit in. So, remove the stages with poles.""You're really going to do that?" I stare at her."I will keep a few up, but yes. Each small stage an
