Chapter 9: Two Lies, One Truth
Updates start from chapter 6!
____________
Anger flare through me and thunder echoed through the sky as I saw it was empty. Part of me was a bit happy but anger overtook that feeling. Pulling his coffin out of his grave, I dragged it through the cemetery and headed to Victor's house.
How dare they fucking lie to me. How dare my own brother lie to me. Faking your own death is fucked up.
Within 10 minutes of speed-running, I was now in front the house. The lights were on so it was clear everyone was up. I could even feel their energy. Kicking the door open, I threw the coffin inside. I watched as all the guys game in running into the lobby along with Ethan. Their faces were filled with shock and guilt.
"Freya, we can -"
"Shut up," I barked at Ethan. He swallowed the now forming lump in his throat. "I'm going to ask a question and you guys are going to answer and if you lie to me, trust me, I'll know," I hissed. They all nodded.
"Is Victor alive?" I asked.
I watched as they all slowly nodded. "Where is he?" I growled.
"I don't think -"
Before Leo could finish, I speed-ran to him and held him by the neck of his shirt. "Before you regret finishing your sentence, I want to remind you that I am in no mood to be fucked around with. Give me your phone," I growled. He quickly gave me his phone and I took everyone's else phone.
"Ethan," I called out, "You're going to text him and say there is an emergency at his house and he needs to come quick. Say that you can't say anything else over the phone," I ordered him, "And I suggest you don't try to warn him because I could see what you're doing," I added.
He used his powers and started to type out the text before sending it. I watched as Ethan received a text immediately.
"He said he'll be here within the hour," he spoke.
"Great. In the meantime, we're going to sit here and fucking wait for him. You're also going to answer questions," I growled. They all sat either on the floor or on the couch.
"Why did Victor faked his death?" I asked.
"To protect you," Chase replied.
"From?" I asked.
Ethan let out a sigh, "Kai and Liam. Liam is Kai's brother and he's the one who attacked you that night. He has power over air. I know it sounds crazy but when am I ever wrong. Also, Kai is the one who shot Victor. Yes Victor did die but Leo pulled out the bullet and managed to save him. Kai's blood was on the leaves they found. Kai tried to kill Victor and Liam is trying to kill you. It's a lot to take in but yes," he quickly spoke.
Letting everything soak in, I found myself becoming more angry. That scar on Kai's arm was a cigarette burn but a bullet wound.
"You know, for someone who's fucking smart, you sure played this out stupid Ethan. You had all this knowledge all along and you let us live in the same fucking house with these cunts. You should of told me in the beginning despite what Victor wanted or not. You not only put me at risk but yourself and our parents," I shouted.
A phone started to ring and I looked to see it was Ethan's phone. Kai was calling.
Letting out a growl, I answered the phone, "What?" I barked.
"What happened? I haven't hear from you in days. What's wrong and where are you? Also, why do you have Ethan's phone?" he asked a bunch of questions.
"It's none of your fucking business now stop call and texting us," I hung up.
"Freya, I'm really sorry. I -"
"No, save it for a next time," I cut Ethan off. The room fell into silence and I found myself remembering the time where Ross tried to kill me. I cleaned myself up from the dirt and spent some time pacing back and forth around the room. I wanted to know what else was a lie. What was true anymore.
My senses heightened and I could hear a car pulling up outside before the doorknob quickly turned. The door then flew open and I saw it was Victor. A look of shock overtook his face as he looked at me then at the guys and Ethan.
"Freya," he softly spoke my name as he walked in. I speed-ran to him and delivered him a slap to the face.
"I should kill you myself," I growled as I grabbed his shirt. "I know but I've missed you so much," his hand went to touch my cheek but I slapped his away.
"Don't fucking touch me. What you did was unspeakable and even cruel. I fucking morn for you for months," I shrieked as I walked away from him. "There's so much hatred I have towards you right now. They told me why you did it but this wasn't the way to go. This was probably the most stupidest thing you could of done. Who else knows you faked your death?" I hissed as I turned to look at him.
He rubbed the back of his head, "The whole town," he mumbled.
Thunder echoed through the skies outside as I felt more angry. "Baby, I'm sorry. I really am but I need to -"
"Just save it. I don't want to hear it," I mumbled, "I really don't care."
"Please, -"
I ignored what he was saying as my senses heightened. I could hear a bunch of footsteps coming from outside. I quickly dragged Victor behind me with my power and watched as the front door opened revealing Kai, Liam and some girl I've never seen before.
I watched as Kai's eyes shifted from me to Victor who was behind me. Liam's eyes shifted from everyone in the room onto me and the girl just looked dumbfounded.
"How are you alive?" Kai asked a bit baffled, "I thought you were dead."
Before Victor could answer I let out a laugh, "Same. I just found out he was alive too. Anyways, I have a question for you and Liam over there. Where were you guys Thursday night?" I asked.
"What?" Kai asked a bit confused.
I rolled my eyes, "You heard me now answer the question."
"Liam and I was with Jasmine over at her place. Why?" he asked.
I studied him for a moment. He was lying. Walking over to him, I grabbed his hand which cause Victor to growl. As I held Kai's hand, I could feel a different power running through him. It wasn't normal energy since he had already possess power within him. Releasing his hand, I stepped in front of Liam.
He gave me a small smile to which I took his hand in mine. I closed my eyes and I could feel his energy was much stronger than Kai and he definitely had power in him. Releasing his hand, I grabbed the girl's hand to which I felt energy as well. Her energy was a bit weaker than Kai but she did have some sort of power. Releasing her hand, I backed away.
"So who are you to them?" I asked Jasmine.
A forced smile took over her face as if she was to act innocent, "They're my friends."
Walking away, I could hear the girl whispering to Kai and Liam about me being crazy. I looked toward Chase who was the closest to Ethan. "Chase, would you be so kind to take Ethan out of the room."
He slowly nodded and him and Ethan left the room through the kitchen. "So maybe I was too stupid in the pass to think you could do such a thing so I'm just doing to perhaps as you a bunch of question and try to retrain myself," I spoke as I turned back around to look at Kai.
"Why did you shoot Victor, Kai?" I asked.
I watched as his eyes shifted from shock to a glare, "I should of killed him. The way he treated you and this whole town is disgusting. You deserve to be with someone much more of a man than a child. You be with me," he hissed.
Within a second, I speed ran to him and had my hand wrapped around his neck and I had him pinned against the door. I watched as he struggled to breathe as my grip tightened. "Then why is your brother trying to kill me?" I gritted through my teeth.
Within a swift move, I was then thrown across the room. A hand helped me up and I felt a burst of energy as the person touched me. I looked to see it was Victor. "See, my brother fancies you but I on the other hand," Liam spoke with a grin, "I want you more than he does. We had a deal. He had his time with you in the beginning of the year, now it's my turn," he winked.
I let out a scoff. Before I could respond, Liam continued to talk. "Anyways, seeming as how you're going to be a huge pain in the ass about everything, we already got what we need," he spoke as he went to open the door.
Using my powers, I slammed the door shut.
"Care to elaborate," I hissed.
"I would love too," Liam chirped, "You see, when we created that storm and you used all your powers to stop it, we managed to transmit your power into a staff to which we will destroy the whole world until we are the leaders. Now if you'll excuse me, I-"
"How could you do this?" I shrieked as I flew across the room and tackled him to the floor. He then pinned me against wall using his powers. I watched as he shot me a smirk before putting his hand around my neck.
"Freya!" a voice screamed through the room. We all turned to see Ethan with his eyes widened. Chase then ran into the room, "I'm so sorry. He ran," Chase panted out of breath.
"Let her go," Victor growled as he took a step towards Liam and I. "Take one more step and I'll snap her neck," he threatened. Victor growled and I could feel Liam's energy spiraling everywhere. He was enjoying this.
Liam's thumb then shoved my neck to the side so I was now leaning my head. Victor then pulled out a gun and aim it at Liam to which he laughed. Kai went to use his powers but Liam stopped him. Without hesitation, Liam used his powers of air to snatch the gun out of Victor's hand. The gun then floated over to Liam who now had it in his right hand. He then point the gun at Victor. The rest of the guys went to pull out their gun but Liam saw right through that.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," he warned as he took the safety pin off. He aimed the gun at Victor but then pointed it to Ethan. My heart dropped and I quickly held his hand. "Don't do it. You were after me remember," I tried to take his attention off Ethan.
Liam shook his head, "I was but not anymore. I'm done with you. You also need to remember me by something and since day one this little shit had something against me. Should of gotten rid of you the first time," he spoke. My eyes trailed to his index finger which quickly pulled the trigger.
I watched as the bullet fly out the gun and headed straight for Ethan. Everything seemed to be going in slow motion. Quickly thinking, I kneed Liam in the jewels and speed ran to Ethan. Pushing him out the way, I felt something hit my chest hard causing me to fall back onto the floor.
"FREYA!" a masculine voice shouted and they ran to me. I looked up to see it was Victor. "Well shit Freya, look what you've done. I guess you're not going to see me rule the world. I think I'll start off by your parents," Liam spoke in an innocent voice. A door opened then closed. I looked to see Liam, Kai and the girl had left.
"We need to get you to a hospital," Victor spoke as he started to push pressure on the wound. "I'm fine," I pushed him off me and sat up. Looking down, I saw the bullet had hit right over my heart. "You're losing blood," Victor shouted as he started to panic.
"Please shut up," I ordered him as I stood to my feet. Lifting my shirt up, I saw blood was pouring out of me like a waterfall. Reaching inside the wound, I dug around and pulled the bullet out. I watched as the hole healed back to itself.
"Did you know you could do that?" a soft voice asked next to me. I looked to see it was Ethan who was shock just as everyone else was.
I shook my head, "No. I didn't really feel anything. I don't think I could feel pain anymore," I mumbled as I threw the bullet to the floor. "Keep him safe," I spoke to the guys referring to Ethan before running out the house
