Breaking the Dark: Chapter 6

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Sorry for not uploading for a couple days but I finished this story in three and a half days so YES! I am getting better at this! I was trying to make this chapter longer and better? But what do I know, you guys are the readers so REVIEW. One review will make my day and every review motivates me to make a new chapter. I had the greatest idea. I'm starting this contest from this chapter to chapter 10 (5 chapters) where I choose my favorite songs and put some of the lyrics in my story. The hard part is that you have to figure out which part is the song and find out which song it is and the singer. The person, who gets the most right, will be turned into a character in my story or get to help me make a chapter for a story and I will give all the credit to them. Hopefully this is a contest you would like to participate in and PM me so I know who participated. Now here comes CHAPTER 6:

"Who is she?" I pleaded.

He confessed, "Iris. This is Jenna. She is . . . our sister."

-IRIS'S PERSPECTIVE-

My stomach dropped. They have a sister? Why didn't they mention her? What's next? They have five moms and twenty-five dads that had kids that walk on half of North America? I turned my head to see Jenna's face staring me down with an atrocious grin; her optics glaring me with a sense of satisfaction. Jenna searched through her belt and discovered a thin and dry piece of rope. She wrapped it around my wrists and tied it tightly with about three knots. There was no way I can escape from the rope's grip. She turned me around and looked me right in the eye glared me down. Her cat-like eyes shined bright; enveloping me with a golden background. Her eyes wouldn't leave mine and I couldn't break from her hold on me. That's what it was. It was like her eyes were caging my freedom and it was forming around me, and soon, it would control me fully. The cage swallowed me and my knees buckled slightly. She had FULL control of me and I hated it. STOP. Let me control my own body! Her mind cut through mine and now she could read my thoughts. Her voice echoed through my head, don't move. Stay here and stop struggling. I complied as I had no power over her compelling voice. No. No, NO, NO! Jenna winced in pain as my voice screamed in her head. She glanced over and rolled her eyes. STOP! I need to help Tyler and Josh! I rejected.

Do you seriously think they care about you? Please. You are just another girl found on the street. Don't think that you are so special that they'll actually risk their life for yours. She scoffed. I was in total surprise. Such attitude in a thin body like hers. How dare she think of me like that? You bitch! You don't know what they think. For all you know, they might like me enough to be my friend. Don't be so full of yourself. I retaliated. I felt a push inserted into my head and an absence replacing Jenna's presence. She was gone and out of my mind to ignore my cries. Okay. Move slowly. I thought. I tried moving my right leg but it wouldn't budge. So I tried a little bit harder but with no avail, I cursed. Shit! Why is her hold on me? She broke contact. This would've worked in some other vampire weird supernatural show. I sighed. But this isn't a show, it's my life. I concentrated on moving my neck. Trying to feel my neck and trying to stimulate some sort of motion. I felt my neck cringe and turn to a 90 degree angle to my right. In the corner of my sentiment, I saw a sharp piece of wood. I'm moving. Come on. Turn... I encouraged myself. My head was rising with pressure and I soon became light-head and prostrated towards the ground silently. My sight caught upon Jenna's back facing me. She was grabbing metal handcuffs with a weird scent clung to it and attached it to Tyler's wrist and soon to Josh's wrist. Who knew what she was doing. She was putting handcuffs and other materials to hold them down. Great! This is my chance. I scooted my way to the branch and caught grip of it and angled it so the point of the tip was cutting at the breakable rope. I was using every second to its greatest. She was so involved with those boys being secure, that she totally forgot about me and gave me the chance of running away. I felt my bond snap, loosen, and fall to the floor. I sighed with relief. I concentrated in my mind to try and push the force away without her knowing and I could sense her force leave my mind till I could feel every bit of my mind back to mine. I kneeled and rose to my feet. I slowly backed away onto the cobble stone sidewalk and ran trying to leave no trace and no sound left behind.

-JENNA'S PERSPECTIVE-

I was looking down into my brothers faces. So full of anger and bewilderment. I grinned knowing that I got them pretty tight in those bonds. I first secured them in handcuffs perfumed with my secret spray to weaken them. After, I put tape on their mouths and wrapped a cloth of chloroform to their noses and dragged their limp bodies into my truck. I grabbed each of their legs and tugged. Dang, they are some heavy material.

When their bodies were in the back of my pick-up truck hidden coolly next to other cars near a bakery 5 miles down, I walked back to find the kerf strand of rope that I attached to Iris's wrist earlier before laying on the floor without Iris. Iris. That son of a bitch. How did she escape from my temptations? I groaned. Ill figure out that later. Now I have to catch Iris. I rushed to my black Dodge truck, landed onto the driver's seat, and inserted my keys to make the engine roar with enthusiasm.

"You'll never catch up to her," Josh intercepted my thoughts; "She's a touch chick. It took both of us to keep her tame." He groaned.

"Oh I will and I'm surprised you actually found her. You two are soft pussycats and you'll never find the courage and strength to lift your arms and take her life away."

Tyler stayed quiet like the mama's boy he is and Josh complained on how she's gone but the next time I'll listen to Josh is in 2 thousand – NEVER. I shifted the wheel to the right and caught a glimpse of a shine of silver. The escapee just became the prey. I stomped on the gas pedal and the engine screeched in response; resulting the car to move twice as fast. I drove over to Iris and kicked the driver's door open. She heard the slam of the car door closing and turned around. When she saw who was in her presence, fear overcame her face and ran faster than she did before. I grinned and tried to intensify the connection between me and her to control her but all I felt was a brick wall that barricaded her cognition. I tried forcing my way through but her will was rough to breach. I sighed and followed Plan B: The Chase. I increased my speed and caught up to her. I jumped and tackled her from behind resulting in a grunt escaping her. I breathed real hard. This girl is harder to catch than my reflexive cat. I grabbed her wrists and held them tight against me to pick her up.

"Let me go!" She screeched. "I will cut off your head and beat your dead body with it if you don't let me go!"

I chuckled. I got close to her ear, "Silly human. You are no match for us."

-IRIS'S PERSPECTIVE-

No match for people like them. "What exactly are you guys?" I challenged her. Hopefully, she would tell me who they are and why I am involved in this!

"In your dreams. If you think you can outsmart me, you got another thing coming." Not what I wanted to hear.

As we reached her truck, I found the two bodies limp in her car with handcuffs: Josh and Tyler. She brought me to the side where Josh's head was and bent me over like cops do to criminals. She pulled my arm higher more than my shoulder can allow it to. This bitch. Maybe if I close my eyes, I will wake up and all this will be a dream. When she finished bonding my wrists together, she shoved me into the back seat face up and she leaned over. She had a white cloth like the cloth that kept her brothers asleep. Chloroform. "No! Get. That. Away. From. Me!" I kicked my feet wildly being hopeful to maybe hit her in a soft spot. She grabbed a roll of duct tape hidden under the leather seats and stripped a piece and pierced it with her teeth. "No. Leave us alone. Leave me-" She strapped the tape over my mouth concealing my pleas and stripped another piece to link my legs together. I was totally trapped and I was lying on the warm bodies underneath me. She tied the chloroformed cloth around my nose. I tried holding my breath knowing what to come but I can't hold on forever. My lungs felt like they were being pumped further and further and they could explode. It was a pain that I didn't want to feel. I gasped through my mouth and the intoxicating gas clogged my throat for a second and I coughed. I couldn't help but breathe through my nose. Shit. My vision started to dance and swirl; blurring and focusing. My head became dizzy and my vision became fuzzy while becoming dark. I became limp and comatose.

My head stirred and I was becoming conscious. I tried lifting my eyes but my eyelids felt so heavy. My eyes would make no effort to open all the way to I settled just for a squinting. I was in a dark room with only a lamp on a metal table. The walls seemed to have black padding on it like in asylums. It was cold and stuffy in here. It looked around me and I noticed I was sitting on a metal cheap chair with chains wrapping around my forearms and around my ankles. My eyes jerked open and I struggled against the metal. It was tight and giving me a ton of rough pressure.

"It's no use. We tried." A male voice appeared of nowhere.

I turned to see around me but with this dim light, all it lit up was the table. "Who's there?"

The sudden of a piercing light lit up the room and almost blinded me. I squeezed my eyes shut to ease the pain forced onto my eyes. I opened my eyes with caution and right there in front of me was a pissed Jenna, a serious older man who had light blonde hair and green eyes, and a two, well, Tyler and Josh. Tyler and Josh were in my predicament. They were tied up in a chair but across the room.

"A lot of things happened while we were knocked out, weren't there?" Josh guessed.

"No shit, Sherlock! No help with your jack-ass of a sister." I gritted through my teeth.

I looked at Jenna who was pissed. She was growling and rushed full speed to me, but instead, she was intercepted by the older man. He leaned down and whispered something into her ear and she seemed to cool down. He let go of her slowly to make sure she didn't rip my head off.

Chill, Iris. This isn't the right time for your dramatic outbursts. We can't help you right now so just shut your mouth and you'll be safe. Josh's voice echoed in my head. I glanced at him who seemed to be acting normal.

Why are you in my head!? How? I questioned, my head fumbling around for answers to resolve my confusion.

Stop asking a lot of questions. We have no time. Just say what I'm saying. Say: I mean no trouble and I will try to answer all of your questions as honestly as I can.

There is no way in hell that I am saying that bull shit.

IRIS! I winced in pain as his voice boomed. STOP being so ARROGANT and say it.

NO!

He sighed aloud and Jenna flashed a look of anger and confusion between the both of us. "What are you two doing?"

Great, Iris, now she's suspicious.

Yeah, because that's MY fault.

"Nothing," I saved, "JOSH is just giving me weird and annoying glances and it's getting on my nerves." I lied, unconvincingly.

Jenna paused and rolled her eyes. I knew she wasn't going to believe that. Jenna shoved the older man into the corner and slammed her hand on the table. I jumped.

"Look, Iris, we all want to know about you. How about start from the beginning, huh? Do you have any idea what started all of this?" she asked, curiously.

Iris, just tell her from the beginning. I know her and trust me; she won't stop until she knows the truth. Just tell her. Josh stated.

I don't know what started this all! I don't even know why you guys are here and now I have to tell my whole life story to total strangers? Please.

"So," Jenna goes on, "Are you going to start or are you going to keep looking at Josh giving him weird glances?" she asked annoyed.

Tell her.

You wish .I grinned. You want to know the truth?

Iris, what are you going to-?

"Look, Jenna, I have no idea how this ALL started. That's a question for me to ask you. I don't have to give you details about my life but all four of you have to tell me why I'm here now and why you guys are in my life! I didn't ask for this. You know what I SHOULD be doing? Studying for exams, hanging out with Iselina, living in my small apartment; not kidnapped by three strange people and being in a room answering questions I don't even know! Why don't you start? Tell me. Why am I here?" I uttered.

Jenna leaned back and glared me in the eye. I tried my best staring her down to show that I have no fear over her but I don't think I was doing a very good job with that.

"George lets relinquere hic tria haec disserere earum exitibus." Jenna spoke. I rolled my eyes as George nodded his head and walked out casually. He left out this padded door that seemed to blend in with room. She looked between me and her brothers and left. I heard the lock of the door twisting and turning. She locked the doors. Tyler sighed.

"Finally, we're alone. Now we can talk privately." Tyler confessed. I looked around the room and found a huge mirror. I remember that every investigating and interrogation movies, there are always these 'mirrors' where there is a group of people eavesdropping on the victim's conversations and in those movies, the stupid victims think it's just a mirror to look at yourself in. News Flash: It's not a mirror.

"No we're not, Tyler. You see that mirror over there," I said turning my head to my left to find this huge mirror that was dirty in the corners. I could only imagine how pissed Jenna is behind that mirror, "That's one way glass. They can see us and hear us, but we can't see or hear them. I'm not an idiot." I said aloud to make sure Jenna noticed.

"Are you sure?" Josh asked.

"99.9% sure. I see them in interrogation movies all the time. It's very obvious." I sighed. What are we going to do now, Josh? They can hear our conversation with we talk aloud.

How about we just talk like this then?

No, thank you. I'd rather just say quiet then.

Come on, Iris, we have some things we need to work out.

I said no.

Josh sighed aloud. "Is there something going on, you two?" Tyler questioned. I rolled my eyes, trying to ignore that comment. We sat there in silence as the awkwardness in the room grew. My mind starting to drift off; my mind would always think of just standing up and when Jenna and George come in, I will just flatten them with a chair, grab their keys, and run out. I shook my head. That'll never work. Think of something else.

What will never work? I looked at Josh in an exasperated expression. So he's going to be here the whole time to hear my thoughts?

Did I ask you? I said with an attitude. Why can't everybody just leave me alone? My life sucks.

Okay, geez. Just wanted to ask. He shrugged.

I looked around the room. Josh was locked in his chair. His hair was slightly chaotic in an adorable way. He was just looking at his fingertips and that led me to look at his arms. They were fit and had muscle. If he hugged me, he could really bruise me if he tried to. My eyes pondered to his biceps, to his neck, and finally to his face. His face was creamy white color. He had light blue eyes with that weird but alluring gold ring around his eyes. Every time I looked at those gold rings, I wondered why they were there. I mean, I know they aren't HUMAN, but why are they there? Then his lips; they were so rosy pink and when he smiled, GOSH! Why is he so perfect? While staring at Josh, he noticed that I was staring at him. His lips curved into his perfect smile. Are you okay? He chuckled inside my head.

I turned my head so he wouldn't notice my cheeks turning bright pink. In the corner of my eye, I looked to see Tyler's emotion. He was grinning ear to ear like the Cheshire cat in Alice in Wonderland.

"Aw. Someone's getting embarrassed. Iris, you got a little crush on Josh?" Tyler taunted.

"Shut up. You two are both douchebags." I demanded. This was so embarrassing! Both noticed that I was daydreaming about Josh, my stupid blush just confirmed that, and I have to hear them gloat about it. I have never been embarrassed in my life. I shouldn't be embarrassed because I don't know these fools but somewhere in my stomach, I feel like throwing up. "Ouch. That hurt so much," Josh lied, "It hurts right," Josh gestured his forefinger to his heart, "here. You know, where our love starts?"

"Ha-Ha HA. Hilarious; you two should be comedians," I stated, sarcastically, "Now just leave me alone. I wasn't staring at Josh." I cried, childishly.

"Really? You don't remember this face?" Tyler asked. He stared me right in the eye and relaxed his face to make his expression dazed. He opened his mouth and curved a half-smile. If I didn't know him at all, I would've seriously thought he was gay. "Oh Josh. You're so handsome with your bright pearly whites and with those perfectly shaped cheekbones. Oh and your eyes! To DIE for. Want to kiss because you are so pretty!" He mimicked in a girly voice. I looked at Josh in disbelief as he started making kissy faces. They both closed their eyes and pushed out their lips. "Mwah, mwah, MWAAH!"

"You two are so childish! Leave me alone."

"Josh. I think she needs a peck on the cheek." Tyler added.

"I think she needs something more."

I rolled my eyes. Shut the fuck up, Josh. Leave me alone.

You know you love me. Daydreaming about me, aren't you? Come on; just admit it and we'll stop.

I don't like you! Stop being so full of yourself.

You know you want me.

Hardly. I scoffed.

You know you want me. Want a little kiss? Mwah. Mwah. Mwah.

On the outside, all I heard was Tyler making kissing sounds and saying taunting words. This was making my mind blow! I was getting a migraine and an embarrassment. My head felt like I was being hit with a metal pan on my temple. It was the worst and I wanted it to stop! Voice of Josh was filling up in my head and my ears were hearing plenty of taunts from Tyler and Josh. First of all let me say, this migraine was very very painful. My blood vessels were dilating in my brain. The symptoms of pain, sensitive to light, sound, sometimes smells, movement, and throwing up, were starting. There's a drumming noise inside my head that throws me to the ground. I swear that you should hear it; it makes such an all mighty sound. Louder than sirens. Louder than bells. Sweeter than heaven and hotter than hell. I swallow the sound and it swallows me whole till there's nothing left inside my soul. As empty as that beating drum but the sound has just begun. The pain was unbearable!

The anger boiled up inside and I was up to here *positions hand over head*. I couldn't stand it anymore!

"Iris is getting it going on! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss, you two love birds! Honeymoon, Marriage, Kids. Great idea, huh?"

"You and me, together!" He sang. "If you could see that I'm the one who understands you. Been here all along. So, why can't you see ‒ you belong with me?"

Now there were all kinds of screams from men, women, and children screaming help in my head along with the boys. Wind was swirling around me; surrounding me like a shield. It was a blue wisp that was cold and protective over me. The wind made my hair whip around me and at my face. The sound was overloading my ears and drowning out their taunts. I couldn't calm down. I'm so tired of their annoyance and bull shit. I became to scream as the sound was beyond the pain I can handle. The only thing that was louder than the wind and my screaming was the crackle of the ceiling above us. I looked up and saw cracks lining up together and big crumbs of drywall became to plunge towards us. The drywall created dust as it collided with the hard floor. The echoes and yells in my head died down and faded away till I could only hear the wind, and soon, the wind died down around me. The wind was gone and so were the cries of help and taunts. My head lolled and I sighed from the relief and ease of pain. I breathed in and out; trying to calm my heart rate. I was so sore and numb. My throat was scarred. As I lifted my head, I looked around the misty room full of drywall dust. The metal shiny table was now dented with the legs broken with the table lying on the floor. The lamp was broken and shattered and now the only thing on the floor was the now disconnected drywall ceiling on the floor. I looked at the twins. Josh and Tyler had the same what-the-fuck-just-happened expression. Their beautiful smooth hair was now dusty, catastrophic, and full of knots. Their eyes were bulging out of their eye sockets and their clothes were smeared with dust and covered in drywall. I could only say one thing:

"What just happened?" I gasped.
