Page 30 of Burning Truths

Flicking a finger in G’s direction he takes my signal for what it is and slams his fist into the back of his head sending him to the ground.

“Stay on your knees.” G orders.

The twins watch with amusement. Freaky ass fuckers.

Holding the knife to Ally's palm I almost set it in her hand when Addington blurts out, “She knows why she’s here. She’ll carry out what needs to be done or she’s next.”

Tired of his voice I lunge forward grabbing him by the back of his neck.

“West.” I bark.

West doesn’t waste time waiting for directions; he knows what I want before I do. Placing both hands on each side of his head, West holds his still. With one hand I grip his bottom jaw, my fingers on the inside of his mouth, pulling his mouth open wide. With the other I hold the knife.

“G.” I call out needing another hand.

G rushes over and grabs the fucking thing I plan to cut out of him.

“I told you I’m sick of your goddamn voice.”

With one jagged slice his tongue is severed. Screams fill the night air scaring away any wildlife that was out here.

Blood pours from his mouth, his entire face red and purple from lack of air. His lungs empty of air from screaming.

“I told you you’d scream for me.” kicking him in the chest he flies backwards.

“Ally.” I shout. “I’m tired of the games. If you want to earn your place, plunge the knife into his throat.”

The twins watch with amazement. Jackson has his eyes on the ground avoiding my stare. Haven doesn’t look up from her phone while Havoc keeps close to his sister. Oakley bounces on her feet silently begging someone to step out of line. Grabbing the bloody knife Ally holds my stare for a few seconds. Walking over to her wailing father she presses her knee into his chest and kneels down. Her weight isn’t enough to hold him so she struggles under his movements. I don’t offer her help.

“Don’t.” I stop West with my hand on his chest.

I want to see her fight her dad for her survival. She’s the reason Kenna has gone through half the shit she has. She set my girl up. She fed her to the snakes while she sat back and watched with popcorn at the ready. No one walks away from that without scars. Make no mistake once Kenna is back at my side I plan to watch her rip Ally apart but for now the hidden scars from tonight will have to do.

The two Addingtons war with each other. Pain blinds him while hesitation stalls her.

“Now.” I snap.

No one moves.

One. Two. Three.

Suddenly Ally’s body slams forward landing on top of her father. She doesn’t move. Addingtons legs jerk.

Leaning forward, Ally looks down at her father, his lips moving but no sound reaches us. She drops her ear to his mouth. Slowly she adjusts so she’s standing over him. The black handle of the knife sticks out from the side of his neck leaving a lifeless Addington lying in the dirt with blood flowing from his throat. Ally turns to meet my gaze. Shock and adrenaline mix together causing her body to vibrate with tremors. Moving towards me she stops a foot away covered in blood and sweat with a body dead behind her.

“I know who has Kenna.” she says, before passing out.

Two Days later

“Long day?” the redhead behind the bar asks.

Her long wavy hair hangs down her side in a twisted side clip. Green eyes look me over but stops short when she spots the bloody and bruised skin around my knuckles. She doesn’t flinch, her face doesn’t twitch, nothing.

“Pour me another one and I might tell you.” I rasp.
