He’s arguing with someone and I don’t know who.

“Good morning, princess,” Josh says, as he approaches and removes the black bandanna he used to blindfold me.

My eyes squint and burn as I try to adjust to the natural light filtering through a broken window in front of me.

“Where am I?” I choke out, my voice is scratchy.

“Somewhere safe...for now,” Josh laughs. His head falls back and his eyes glow with happiness. He’s so evil and that evilness radiates all around him now.

“Why? Why are you doing this?” I cry. I no longer need to pretend to be the strong, badass chick I once thought I was. Josh has me now, he has the upper hand now.

“It’s time the Raven’s feel the pain me and my family felt when we lost everything,” Josh seethes.

“You all deserve everything that came to you,” I spit out, disgusted by this scumbag.

Before I know what is happening, Josh reaches out and slaps me across my face. The sting burns my cheek and my eyes fill with tears. The pain radiates throughout my entire body, but it is nothing compared to the anguish I feel knowing that Josh wants to hurt Drake-- and now, I’m playing a role in that plan.

As my head rights itself from my attack, I taste blood inside my mouth. “Well, that is where we disagree. Your boyfriend has until midnight to find you, or I will have my fun with you before I let my guys bury you alive,” he scowls.

“He will find me and the Raven’s will destroy you, just like they did your awful family,” I scream.

If I am going to die, if Josh gets to end my life-- then I will go down fighting. But I have faith that Drake and the Raven’s will find me. Our love is stronger than anything Josh can throw our way. I can just feel it. Drake and I are soul mates, we are connected in a way that allows me to feel his heart, mind, and soul.

Drake is coming for me and I know it. I just hope he finds me before I am dead.

Chapter 25

Drake

My phone rang again, and Lacy’s name flashed across the screen. For a brief moment, hope-filled me thinking it might actually be Lacy calling me. I would hear her sweet voice and realize this had all been a terrible nightmare.

However, life had different plans for me.

As I answered the phone, I heard Josh’s heavy breathing and I felt myself growing sick to my stomach.

“Drake, I have a little surprise for you,” Josh taunts.

Before I can ask anything, I hear a terrible noise that sounds like flesh hitting flesh and then an agonizing scream fills the air.

It’s Lacy.

“Stop!” I scream, as my body falls to the ground.

All of the guys rush toward me as I crumble in the middle of the Twisted Kingdom Clubhouse parking lot.

The line goes dead again. Josh is taunting me. He’s trying to get me so blind by my own anger and rage, that I can’t think straight. He is going to kill Lacy and take her away from me.

The Fuck he is.

“Drake, what happened?” Axel asks, concern filling his eyes.

“He. Hit. Her,” I say, through clenched teeth.

“Are you sure?” Storm asks, from beside me.

“I heard the hit and then she screamed. She must be so scared,” I yelled into the night.

The guys sent the girls home an hour ago, and swore that we would keep them updated. I am not letting them tell them this. Ivy and the girls would rush down here immediately. Blaze ison watch and is to report any suspicious activity to me. Jagger is patrolling the area and trying to find anyone who can help us gain more information on Josh.
