^^^ Picture of Kurume giving Angel a piggyback

Wow, this girl can never catch a break can she? But what secrets will unfold on this journey they always do.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Without hesitation, we all scattered ducking to avoid the bullets flying our way at rapid speed. I stood up looking around the room seeing there were 7 men. My heart was racing I don't know what it was but they had an overwhelming presence of anger one I had never felt before. I believe I wasn't the only one who felt it as it took a while for Elijah to shoot and our gangs to go into full war. Everyone was taking shelter being big bags and shelves.

Panic consumed me as I heard Nia let out a blood curling scream. She had been shoot on impulse I ran towards her jumping and cartwheeling over things to get to her while success shooting the guy who injured her in the chest. She had been shot in the liver without hesitation I removed my hoodie placing it where the blood was flowing. Elijah was now beside me looking concerned at her. 

"You okay?" He asked. Nia nodded in reply just then Debbie let out a scream one louder than Nia. Lucas and Brandon were currently in full fire against the other gang so I crawled behind shelves making my way towards Debbie who had been shot in the leg. By then, I realised we were at war that this was a matter of life or death.

"Shit," I said, "Omg," I panicked as I didn't even have anything to cover her wound with I removed my mask and placed it on her leg.

"The one day I wear a white shirt," I said frantically.

"Lilith," I heard someone say but it wasn't a person of my gang, I remained silent. Annaya had killed two men so far and the boys were working on the others if they were injured they showed no sense of pain.

"More men are coming boss," I heard a muffled voice say the same voice who had spoken to me earlier.

"We are willing to call a truce if you give us Angel Brown," One man said.

A shiver went down my spine. They wanted me, what for?

"No," Brandon yelled and in response fired more bullets aggressively. Annaya was shot in the hand and she let out a sharp grunt and I immediately stood up. 

"Angel Brown is fucking here let all these people out then I will go wherever silently," I shouted slightly distressed.

"Sit your ass down Lil," Nia exclaimed in pain.

"No I can't, not right now, okay cause you're dying right in front of me. All of us are!" The firing of the bullets stopped as I walked over to the other side.

In a ball of fiery, I pointed my gun at the boss' head to which in response all 4 remaining guns we pointed at me "Tell your men to let them go then I'll do whatever you want," He did one signal and they all lowered their guns.

"Angel..." Debbie started.

"Just go all of you," I replied not moving my gun from his head.

"But..." Nia protested once again.

"Look they're fucking dying and I don't want to witness that shit okay, I've seen this scene one too many times just leave. I just don't anyone to die today." I yelled.

I watched everyone aid each other out of the room all looking at me with sorry faces. I continued to listen in until I heard the car engine start. I breathed a sigh of relief placing my gun in my boots with my hands up. 

"Well, hello stranger?" I looked up to see Kurume.

"I don't want to talk to you can you just tie me or shoot me whichever one please make it quick."

"Got an attitude to have we?" Another man said looking at me. "Tie her," 

Making no attempt, to escape I allowed them to tie me and put a cloth in my mouth before taking me to their van. The injured were taken to another van with the man who had demanded I be tied. Everyone went to their regular seat in the front except for the boss who sat in the back with me. Glaring at him I met his gaze and pushed myself as far away from him as possible my blood was boiling everything seemed planned. It was no coincidence that our two gangs had collided that night. I stopped trying to figure out where we were after a while as the road became more silent.

Fear started to consume my mind as we spent more and more time on the road. Attempting to calm myself down I closed my eyes resting my head on the wall of the van one sharp turn was all it took to become inches away from the boss. The turn of the sorry excuse of a driver had caused me to roll over to his side. After several attempts of trying to sit up, I gave up as every time the van would jolt forward. The man next to me silently chuckled and I inwardly sighed that he must be having a good laugh.

I looked him in his eyes and rolled to the other side and lay there tired. My attempts to stay awake were all in vain as I woke up being lifted out of the van like a rucksack. I did not attempt to protest as my feet had pins and needles.

"You comfortable Lil?" Kurume asked while continuing to carry me, "My bad forgot your mouth is full."

I rolled my eyes looking at the thousands of trees around me quite happy that I didn't have to walk by myself. I went back to sleep not in the mood for the situation I was in like shocked at how I always end up in the weirdest situations. 

"Wake up," Kurume said pacing me on the forest floor and removing the cloth from my mouth.

I woke up steadied my vision and shot up and ran but did not make it far without being caught. "That was fun my pins and needles are gone,"

"You think this is funny?" One man said pointing the gun at my head.

"Only slightly, I don't see anything so why was I woken up?" I asked.

"I don't know whether you are brave or stupid do you not see the situation you are in?" The sorry excuse of a driver said raising an eyebrow pointing a gun to my head.

"Oh, I do I just don't give a shit guess I'm both," I smiled. "If you're going to shoot then can you just do it I'm tired of being threatened but nothing is happening,"

"Mark drop it," Kurume said and he removed the gun from my head. "Well, Lilith if you must know we wanted to make you walk for a bit,"

In response I rolled my eyes, "Can you untie me my hands hurt," I complained.

"No," I was told in response by Kurume.

I looked him dead in the eyes and began scrapping my hands of the tree at a rapid speed causing the rope to lose it's strength and snap. Everyone just watched me in shock. "Now I've got splinters on my hands," I said attempting to remove the splinters. "Hey, Kurume can I have your jacket I'm cold look at everyone than me, you really trying to kill me before I reach the destination." 

With a sigh, he gave me his jacket after revealing his grey jumper underneath. What a gentleman he was, he could see I was in a Shortsleeve top and I had to ask for a jacket. 

"Let's go," Mark boomed  I looked at him and saw the boss had started to move as well as the sideman of Mark leaving us behind.  Kurume slowily began to follow and I stood their not wanting to move.

"Hey, you okay?" He asked when he realised I wasn't trailing behind.

"No, I'm lazy as fuck right now," I complained.

"Get on my back," I walked over and got on his back. He began to walk and we stayed a bit behind the others. "You're really light, it's actually concerning I can barely feel you,"

"I don't know what to tell you?" I sighed. "But thanks for carrying me,"

"It's fine, you looked cute running around and being badass today," He chuckled.

"Thanks, I guess but being covered in blood isn't what I imagine being cute." I relied though I had just butterflies in my stomach.

"You're cute in general," I couldn't see his face but I could feel the smirk on his face.

"Can you not flirt with the people we kidnap," Mark's sideman said out of nowhere with a laugh.

"How's your girlfriend?" I asked not really wanting to know the answer.

"I never had one in the first place Lilith just had to make sure you were genuine." He replied. I smiled finding relief in the words he had just said and I buried my face in his back getting comfortable. 

Why was I so happy that he was single?

We finally arrived at their hideout I was placed on the floor as he did so, the warmth seemed to leave my body. It was weird as though I was missing something. I was led inside, more like shoved, by Mark.

"Push me again I dare you," I said angrily to him.

"Should we tie her?" Mark's sideman asked.

I scoffed, "What's the point I'm already here can't really escape you guys are expecting too much of me. The most I would do is scream but at the moment my throat hurts and I am in the middle of nowhere so no point in that is there?"

"I guess so but like you have just shown you have a big mouth,"

"Fuck off," I replied, "I'm really not a fan of procrastination so let's just get on. What is it you want?"

I saw the boss whisper something to Kurume and he nodded in response. "It's late, we'll talk tomorrow,"

I looked at them slightly agitated and put my hair in a bun to give me time to relax before I went off. "Okay, but can I have some tweezers?" I asked.

Kurume shook his head, "M please come here we need your help."

"I don't need help I can do it myself," I sighed. 

"I know you don't but let me help you, Angie," I heard a voice say.

My head shot up in shock, I locked eyes with the girl I had been moring for. "No fucking way," There was a long pause of my mind trying to process whether I was still half asleep causing me to hallucinate. After having a long debate of whether I was awake my legs gave way and I fell to the floor. She immediately came to help me and I pulled her in for a hug, 

"Monica..."
