I screamed.
Then I heard a loud growl and Storm's bark.
The man who had a hold of my hair screamed in pain and I knew Storm had a hold of him.
Get him, Storm!
"Get off!" the man shouted.
Storm suddenly cried out and I think the man kicked him. It enraged me.
"Don't you hurt him, you bastard!"
The man screamed in agony and let go of me. I fell forward and crashed into the window. I didn't go through the glass but it did crack when my head made contact with it.
I gripped the windowsill and steadied myself. I lifted my hand to my forehead and groaned as pain began to pulse away.
I groggily turned around and I widened my eyes when I saw the scene before me. The man who had me was on the floor and Storm was attacking him, from what I could see Storm had a hold of the man's arm.
The man was using his other hand to bash at Storm's head to try and break his hold. I rushed forward and began kicking the man in the stomach to stop him from hitting my baby. The man swung his legs and hit the back of mine.
I went up into the air and a second later I slammed into the ground back first.
It hurt like hell and I cried out in pain.
"Keela!" Aideen screamed.
"Shut the fuck up!" Marco's voice bellowed, then I heard a loud smack that caused mayhem to erupt in the other room, in the form of Alec and Bronagh's shouts.
I refocused on Storm and the thug who was back to hitting him in the head with his free hand. I rolled onto my front, got up on all fours and began to crawl.
Just before I reached the man's body I watched in horror as he managed to break Storm's hold and knock him back. It was then I spotted the gun that was in the hand of the arm that Storm previously had a hold of.
There was blood all over the man and even though he was in a lot of pain, he managed to lift his gun wielding arm and point it at Storm who was already advancing back at him.
"No!"
Storm lunged towards the man then there was a loud bang. My ears rang and my head got a little dizzy.
"KEELA!"
I heard Alec and Bronagh scream for me, but I ignored them and watched as the man pushed a now immobile Storm off his body and onto the floor next to him. When I saw he wasn't moving I screamed louder than ever before.
He was lying on his side, his breathing was rapid and his leg was twitching.
He shot Storm.
"Storm!" I cried.
I crawled over to him and put my hand on his head. "It's okay, it's okay. You're goin' to be fine-"
Storm's loud whimper cut me off.
Oh, God.
"Help me! Somebody help me, please!"
I wished even Mr. Pervert would hear my calls and come to help, but no one came to my aid. No one.
I put my head down to Storm's.
"You're goin' to be fine, I promise... I’m here."
I looked up to see how bad his wound was when I noticed a growing patch of blood began to soak the floor under Storm.
Oh, God.
Please, no!
"Come here, bitch!"
I fought against the hand that suddenly tangled itself in my hair and screamed for help again. It was the last thing I said as a pulsing pain erupted in the back of my head and caused me to sail into darkness.
"Keela?"
I groaned.
"Wake up."
I groaned again, but blinked my eyes open. It took a minute for my eyes to adjust to the dimly lit room, but that didn't matter because I suddenly hissed in pain. My head was pounding and I felt like my stomach was about to explode.
"What happened?" I murmured.
"We were kidnapped."
I looked for the source of the voice speaking to me and when my eyes landed on Alec, I almost cried with relief.
"You're okay."
He was sitting against a wall and his arms were tied above his head with some rope that was nailed into the wall.
"Depends on what you mean by okay."
"You're alive."
Alec laughed. "Yeah, I'm alive."
He laughed, but he sounded far from happy.
"Storm," I whispered.
"I don't know Keela, he never came out of your room."
I sniffled.
Please, no.
"Where is Aideen?" I asked, wiping my eyes.
"They left her back at your apartment, Marco hit her and knocked her out so they left her on the floor."
I widened my eyes. "Was she breathin'?"
"Yes," Alec said. "She was just knocked out from the hit."
I nodded my head.
Please let her be okay.
"Where's Bronagh?"
"Next to you."
I looked to my left then my right and gasped when I found Bronagh strung up in the same position as Alec, but she was unconscious. I didn't understand, I wasn't tied down or bound in any way, I was just sat against a wall.
Why?
"He won't touch you, he is neck deep in shit now that Brandy knows he has taken you."
I looked at Alec. "How do you know that?"
Alec shrugged. "I pretended to be unconscious when we got here, so I overheard a few things."
I looked around the dark room we were in and swallowed.
"Did you happen to hear where we are?"
Alec smiled. "I know exactly where we are."
"Why are you smilin'?"
Alec chuckled. "Because I hate irony, and being in Darkness is about as ironic as things can fucking get right now."
I widened my eyes. "Darkness? The club where Bronagh, Damien, and Alannah were held by Marco a few years ago?"
Alec winked. "Good memory."
I frowned at him. "Why are you bein' like that?"
"Like what?"
"Cold."
"Cold? Me? I'm barely even lukewarm compared to you, baby."
I looked down. "I'm not cold, Alec."
"You are an ice queen, you heartless bitch."
I flinched and Alec laughed.
"Don't you dare play the wounded little girl, I know who you really are."
No, you don't.
I didn't respond to Alec, telling him I was pretending about all the vile stuff I said back at the apartment would fall on deaf ears right now because he was mad. I groaned as I pushed myself up to my feet. I placed my hand on the cold dark wall to steady myself when my head got dizzy.
