A persistent, determined knocking against his door awoke Marcus from his sleep after his return from Maria's room only hours before. He groaned, waiting for the knocking to stop, but it never did.
"Marcus Lopez Arguello you open up this goddamn door now!"
Marcus darted up from his bed, not worrying about waking up Shabnam as the boy was nowhere to be seen that night. Swinging open the door, Marcus grew shocked at the expression on Saya's face.
Fear.
"They've got Lilith."
"What?!"
Marcus felt his blood run cold, his heartbeat increasing rapidly as he pulled
Saya into his room, slamming the door closed behind her.
"What do you mean they got Lilith?!"
Saya's eyes widened at the outburst of Marcus's voice, taking his hand to pull him down onto the edge of his bed, her joining him. Noticing the anger in his eyes, Saya smiled sadly, looking down at her feet.
"Who got her Saya?!" Marcus repeated, narrowing his eyes at the girls quietness, growing inpatient. "I swear if it was Cheste-"
"It wasn't Chester." Saya interrupted, looking into Marcus's eyes. "It was her brother. Jason Grey."
"What? How? When?" Saya placed her hand against Marcus's chest, stopping his mouth continuing to throw out questions every second.
"We both came back after scouting the city for Chester's whereabouts, of which I found but we will discuss that with everyone later."
"Lilith is more important." Marcus interrupted, bringing a smile to Saya's face, agreeing with the upset looking boy as he looked down at his hands, a frown covering his face.
"Correct Marcus... I'm glad you're seeing how important she actually is." Marcus darted his head up, eyes narrowing at the girl sat beside him.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean Saya?" She shook her head, this time not being fazed by the raise of his voice, ignoring the glare she was receiving. Saya knew exactly what she meant, knowing Marcus too understood what she meant, he did not want to admit the importance and affect Lilith had on the boy.
"You know what it means Marcus." Saya sighed, jumping up from the bed, looking down at the frowning boy. "We need help."
"And I know exactly where to go."
*******
Throbbing pains struck through Lilith's head as she opened her eyes, only to reveal herself strapped down to a wooden chair in a room with no light. Noticing the taped-up windows, Lilith sighed hanging her head down.
Lilith knew the only way to save her friends and family would be to give Jason exactly what he wanted.
Her.
After attacking her brother, the night previous, Jason had proposed a deal for Lilith, either she went away with him, stopping him from targeting her family. The other option being walking away, to carry on hiding from him, making both her family and her friends in danger.
Lilith did not like the idea of giving herself up to Jason, but she had no other choice. Her blood family except Jason and her family she had built at Kings Dominion, was too important for Lilith to lose. Upon leaving King's Dominion with Jason, Lilith dropped her leather jacket, leaving it outside the bedroom door that Saya had been forced into by Lilith, to stop her from preventing Lilith to walk away with Jason.
The light entering her eyes caused Lilith to groan, bringing her out of her thoughts as she glared at her psychotic brother leaning his body against the doorframe.
"Finally, you're awake." Lilith rolled her eyes, pulling at her arms only to feel the restrictions of the metal cuffs rubbing into her wrists. Jason simply smirked as he inched his way closer to his youngest sister, kneeling in between her legs.
"You may have tied down my hands Evans, but it won't take me two seconds to kick your disgusting head away from where you are kneeling." Jason smirked as he lifted his head up, Lilith shuddering as she felt his breath against her face.
"Evans huh? We're doing middle names, now are we?" Lilith spat in Jason's face, causing the boy to scoff, leaning his head back to wipe it clean.
"You don't even deserve to have a middle name or even the family name shitbag." Lilith spat; her words filled with anger as she leaned her head forward.
"Real mature Adelaide."
"Don't you dare call me that." Lilith snarled, Jason shaking his head, the two engaging themselves in a stare off, neither one drifting their eyes away from the other.
"I was always better than you at this Jason... you couldn't even beat a five-year-old me at a staring contest... pathetic." Jason clenched his fists, Lilith wincing as she felt his knuckles collide with her cheek, slamming the side of her nose. Lilith coughed, the burning sensation filling her nose as she felt blood drop from her nostril.
"I guess that was payback for what I did to you." Lilith shrugged her shoulders, not wanting to give her brother the satisfaction of him hurting her. Ignoring her intense gaze, Jason turned his head to the door, waving his hand to the empty door.
"Aw... still have your imaginary friends I see?" Lilith teased, shaking her head as she saw no one at the door. Jason smirked turning his head back around to his sister before getting up from the floor, increasing the distance between the two.
"No. I was actually bringing in this."
Lilith's smirk dropped, Jason's increasing as one of the boys from that night brought in a trolley with an electrical pack lumbered on top.
"Is that-"
"An electrical pack?" Lilith nodded her head. "Yes... yes, it is, and I need someone to try it out on."
Lilith began to move profusely, the pain increasing around her wrists as she tried to wiggle out of the metal grips. Even though she expected Jason to hurt her when he took her in, she was no expecting him to torture her in this extreme fashion.
"Let's have some fun, shall we?"
Lilith scoffed, holding the eye contact with the psycho standing before her, her eyes narrowing occasionally, in attempt to throw her brother off guard, wanting to win the confrontational stares the two had involved themselves in.
"Boss."
Both the Grey's heads darted to the young boy still holding a firm grip on the trolley, his eyes trailing onto Lilith's every so often, making the girl smirk. She winked at the boy, heat rushing to his cheeks, a bright shade of pink appearing as Jason turned his head back around to his sister.
"Boss? Really?" Lilith scoffed, Jason narrowing his eyes.
"Yes... I'm a boss."
Lilith burst out laughing, the anger boiling up in Jason came out as his hand collided with his sister's face, a stinging sensation filling Lilith's face as she noticed the boy beside her flinch at Jason's actions.
"You hit like a girl." Lilith snarled, spitting out the blood that accumulated in her mouth from the sudden blow to the face.
"Oh really?" Lilith nodded, leaning her body as far forward as she could, inching her face closer to her brother towering over her.
"This is going to be fun Jason." Lilith regretted her words as she saw a sinister smile sprawl onto Jason's face, narrowing her eyes as he moved his face closer to hers.
"Oh, trust me Lilith... me and you are going to have the best of times together."
Lilith smirked as she felt Jason's leg lean against her own, allowing her to kick him in the shin with one of her free feet. The grunt leaving his mouth made Lilith snicker as she went to kick the boy again, this time missing by an inch.
"You bitch." Jason sneered.
"What happened to us having fun?" Lilith teased, eyebrow raised as she leaned back in the chair, increasing the distance between her and Jason. Jason snarled and, in a flash, had Lilith's jaw in a tight grip, turning her head to the side, the cracking of her neck being heard through the quiet and empty warehouse, the boy once again watching the side wincing.
"Pass me that." Jason ordered, anger spitting out of his words as he clicked to the anxious boy, still holding onto the electrical pack placed upon the trolley.
"Bloody hell! Give me it now!" Jason shouted, Lilith snickering at his lack of leadership until she noticed the young boy, probably around her age, hand Jason the metal rod, the sound of electricity sizzling against it filling Lilith's ears.
"I'm going to cause you so much pain Jason." Jason smirked, inching the metal rod close to Lilith's exposed chest.
"More like I will put you in so much pain."
Before Lilith could retaliate, the burning sensation against her chest brought the sound of Lilith's high pitched and painful screams to fill the warehouse, the boy no longer standing beside the two siblings, instead he ran out as soon as he heard pain inflict upon Lilith.
"Yeah you keep screaming Lilith... no one can hear you."
