Chapter 3

- About 20 minutes later -

I awoke to loud music. I quickly sat up straight in the backseat of Yance's car. I saw that we were nearing an apartment complex in a wooded area; which I quickly remembered them as Brandon's neighborhood. But I noticed that the buildings looks burnt and almost all the windows were shattered. A feeling of dread and anxiety twisted in my stomach.

I quickly looked around the car to see that Julie and Brandon were still peacefully knocked out while Yance was still driving. I anxiously tried to remember how and when I fell asleep. I, regretfully, don't remember much, as everything is hazy in my memory at the moment. Although, I remember green gas and Yance giving me a very creepy and sadistic smile. Why gas though? And what was with that smile?

I hurriedly shook Julie up in a panic. As I did, I saw Yance look at me through the rear view mirror. My eyes widen at the murderous look in his eyes while my body freezes with fresh adrenaline pumping through my system. "Whaaat...huh?...wha-w-where are we?" Julie's eyes widen a little at the unfamiliar surroundings.

"Hey you're both awake! Ya ' know I was pretty surprised that you honked out in the middle of our conversation Goldie. You must've been exhausted," Yance quickly turned the music off and glanced at us over his shoulder. He gave us an innocent smile before turning back around. I looked at him as if he was mad as Julie uneasily looked at me.

"Who is he?" Julie's voice wavered as she looked at me in worry.

"He's Yance, the new assistant manager at Brent's place. He's dropping off Brandon first and then we're getting dropped off," I answered her questions while my eyes never left Yance's face.

"East wrong with us taking your c-"

"It got booted and Yance was nice enough to give us a lift."

Julie was quiet after that. I snuck a glance at her and she had a frown on her face. She huffed at my curt responses and started to play with her past shoulder length black hair that's neatly placed in a braid. I still kept my eyes in Yance as he drove further into the apartment complex. A certain checkered mask key chain caught my eye as it dangled from the rear view mirror. It looked vaguely familiar as it waved itself in front of my eyes. Julie gasped as still he looked out often window, catching my attention. Narrowing my eyes suspiciously at Yance, I sneaked a quick peek out the window to see what was going on.

(This is where it gets bad for those of you who want to skim these bad paragraphs)

My eyes widened as my whole body froze. Anxiety and fear twisted my stomach even further as Julie backed up into my left side; away from the window and the images outside the car. Fires greedily licked at bushes and buildings, while animals, some dead and laying scattered on the grass and concrete, others trying to crawl away with missing or mangled limbs. I couldn't find one animal that wasn't bleeding, missing a limb, or had parts of their skin missing. Forcing down a gag, I shifted my eyes away. I started to shiver with fear at the new sight as Julie's body was shaking horrendous force of her quiet sobs.

Bodies. They littered the ground like locusts. There was blood everywhere. I felt tears slip down my cheeks as we passed countless more. We stared, wide eyed, as we saw a few thrashing people still alive in a burning room. Julie turned and ride into my shoulder, clinging to my jacket as she trembled. I couldn't move. I couldn't comfort her. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't do anything as I stared in horror at all the dead children around the bloodied playground. Yance caught us looking out the window like deer caught in headlights.

"Oh don't mind them," He sighed, "Their puny lives are going towards a much larger plan." I slowly ripped my gaze from the window to look at him as he spoke in a bored and uninterested tone. I tried to open my mouth as more tears rushed down my cheeks and neck. Clenching my fist, I gathered the tiny buts of courage I had left in my crumbling mind.

"What happened here?" My voice shook as I stared at Yance with fierce and frightened eyes. The green haired driver just sighed as he reached over to Brandon and shook his shoulder. "Wake up idiot." The moment the order left his lips, Brandon sat up in his seat.

"Thank god, I was getting sick of pretending to sleep. Then again I did dose off a bit there," Brandon said in a bored tone as he set his seat in an upright position. He looked around with furrowed brows as his head rested in his palm, before turning to Yance. "Did they love anyone alive? You know he wanted a few people alive."

"I told them not to." That set Brandon off on a nervous breakdown.

"Why?! Oh man we're so-"

"No one here had the potential nor the possibility of reaching it. So I had to find a few myself. Those who might, just might have the tiniest possibility of reaching the potential he wants." I numbly stared at the two males as my reeling mind spins, trying to process the foreign topic.

"Uhh...okay...so...where are these few you've found?" Yance impatiently herded his thumb towards us. The ginger gave a doubtful look to the other man before turning to face us. Brandon's face lit up in frightful recognition.

My mind numbed even further as Brandon started to yell at Yance as he drove even further. I caught bits and pieces of how Brandon objected to the idea of us being used for their plan and how he thought that they were just dropping up off at home. A dumber part of my mind took over my sensible and shocked part.

Seriously how big is this place? We've been driving for a good few minutes. Oh here's another speed bump. You haven't noticed the last ones have you? Ah, look, there's an oddly placed warehouse that's conveniently guarded by men in armor and neatly placed in the trees to hide it from view. How convenient. We couldn't possibly be going in there. Oh...Wait...We are...Well that sucks. Hehe. Have fun trying to get away.

- Other POV -

Julie managed to look outside again just as the warehouse doors opened to allow the vehicle entry. The poor girl still cling to her companion's arm as she eyed the guards and their armor warily. To her it seemed to have an asian and arabian theme to it. Weird...

The car stopped a ways from the giant doors as they began to close shut. Yance got out of the car with Brandon close behind, still yelling objections. It's quite expected as the duo have gotten close to the loud, yet friendly male when they had worked at the restaurant.

Julie watched as Brandon grabbed the front of Yance's white dress shirt and yelled in his face. The ravenette continued to watch as Yance grabbed hold of Brandon's own dark t-shirt and punched him a few times with his right hand. Yance let go, satisfied with his work, and walked back to the car. Julie's body stiffened as he approached. But to her luck, he just snatched the mask charm from the mirror and slammed the door close. She saw Brandon hold his nose as it bled, clearly broken, as an angry look flashed across his face. He gave Yance a disapproving gaze as the dark haired male walked past him.

Julie gasped as a dark shadow fell over her window. From what she could see, it appeared to be a man. He opened the door to reveal a area and heavily muscled chest. The man roughly grabbed the young girl's arm and dragged her out of the car with her screaming.

- Regular POV -

Julie's screaming and being dragged out of the car made my senses reboot immediately. My face contorted into an unleashed snarl as I scrambled across the seats to reach the open door. Unknown to me, another, smaller, buff man in a business suit and dark sunglasses opened my door. I only noticed when he roughly grabbed my right ankle and dragged me back to the other side. I screamed. Out of pain, from his tight grip, and out of rage, for being so close yet so far.

I flung my body onto the floor if the car and kicked the dude in the face with my free foot. He stumbled backwards and fell on his butt. He screamed in pain and rage also while holding his hands near his face. I effectively broke his nose and glasses, causing some shards to lodge themselves into his skin. I quickly scrambled out of the car after he was put of my way.

I sprinted to my left, where Julie was kicking and screaming for the shirtless man to let her go. He had her under his left arm like some sort of basketball. I ran to catch up to them while dodging other suited men. Julie punched and elbowed the guy in the gut, but it had no effect on the giant. I came up on his right, planning on jumping on his back and giving his face a bloody makeover. But right as I was about to jump, he turned and backhanded me in the gut. My breath left me as my feet left the ground.

I flew back a good 10 feet or more. I landed on my back, then tipped backwards to painfully land on my stomach. My vision darkened and I struggled to get air back in my lungs again. I looked up at the man who hit me only to meet his red eyes. Red eyes. They were a mix between a blood red and a maroon, but an evil red nontheless. I growled as I shakily pushed myself off the ground and started to run towards the evil - eyed giant.

But before I could get close, three of the earlier men I'd dodged reached me first. I tried to fight them but they were to strong for me to handle. They grabbed hold of my arms and held my neck down so that I was immobilized. I glared at the man that held my younger friend as a rag doll. He just stared at me with those empty and emotionless red eyes.

I struggled in the guards' grips as I saw the giant place a black bag over Julie's head. She thrashed and bucked to prevent being bagged, but he still managed to put it on her. Julie screamed my name as I yelled hers, stills struggling to break free. I just gave up on breaking free and just started to drag the three men with me. I only got a few feet before another jumped atop of us, causing me me to crumble under the weight and onto the floor.

I glared with all the hate in the world at my friend's captor. That was before a pair of black men's dress slacks blocked my view of my current hate. I looked up to see it was Yance; who crouched down to me with an identical bag in his hands. He just lazily smirked at me before forcefully pulling the bag over my head.

Okay I was going to make this chapter like 1,000 more words longer but I'm just middle fingering it right now. (Not to mention it was a great place to stop and torture y'all :D ) So...it is now 1:22 as I write this. Yeah...as you can imagine my eyes feel like they're sinking into my skull. Obviously I took a break from this (on Tumblr (and for ice cream) "XD ) for certain reasons that I won't reveal because I'm not going to scar my readers at all in this note. *sigh* Tired...I'll ask you guys one more time "today". Please send in name ideas. I'm just swimming in reluctance and other ideas for other stuff for things later in the story. God my sentences are long...Well...good night my lovely readers and please R&R. For if you did, I would love you for eternity and bake you my famous made - from - scratch cookies. LOVE Y'ALL AND NOW IT'S SLEEPY TIME! (GOTTA STOP LEAVING SUCH LONG NOTES LIKE FOR REEAAALL)
