"Screw you, I ain't telling you where Zero is!" Carly says, Ivory quickly slicing the thin razor blade across Carly's right shoulder.
"Haines, she ain't cracking and I've already cut her arms repeatedly. She didn't even scream, now what?" Ivory growls into his phone. "Are you out of your fucking mind?! That'll kill her!" He says.
Do it! Take the damn thing off her head, pick up the power drill and drill holes into her brain!" Steve orders.
Carly bolted upright, Johnny reaching out and pulling her into a hug, Carly hanging onto him. It was there but as soon as she woke up, the memory was gone. Johnny's phone started to ring.
"Angus?" Johnny answers.
"Zero's gone, just disappeared. I have no clue where she is!" Angus says.
Carly and Johnny let go, Carly grabbing her phone and texting Anton.
'Z's gone, no idea where she is!'
'Have a fair idea on who took her.' Anton texts back.
Meanwhile, Zero's P.O.V
"You realise you're asking for death by doing this, right?!" I growl after Steve pulls the tape off of my mouth.
"By the time they find you, you will be dead. Wonder how upset your lover Angus is going to be." Steve says.
"Leave him the hell outta this!" I yell at him.
"Well, what about little Carly? The bitch you're starting to see as family?!" Steve says.
"What the fuck… did she ever do to you to make you have her KIDNAPPED AND TORTURED?!" I say, yelling the last part, Steve picking up a wrench and hitting me in my left knee with it, I managed not to scream. "She's gonna be scarred for life because of you!" I shout.
"So? I already traumatized one little bitch, what's-" Steve says before jolting forward… a dart in his neck. "What… the hell…" He says before falling to the ground, Anton pulling the hood off and revealing his face.
"You alright there?" Anton asks, untying me. As I stood up, pain shot through my leg.
"What'd you shoot him with?" I ask, pointing to Steve, who wasn't moving.
"Just a little something that knocked him out." Anton says.
Anton helps me outside and into the backseat, Angus and me hugging and kissing. Tears ran down my face as I rested my head onto Angus' chest, while he lightly stroked my hair.
"You're alright Z. We're taking you to the hospital." Angus says.
"Just don't let me go." I whispered.
"I promise that I will not let you go Z." Angus says before I fell asleep.
Waking up later, I found myself in hospital and my left knee was in a cast. Looking to my right I could see Angus, asleep in his wheelchair.
"Angus?" I say, Angus opening his eyes.
"Hey… how you feeling, baby?" Angus says.
"Like I ran right into a brick wall." I say, jumping up when I hear a terrified scream and realise I'm not too far from Carly's room. I try to get up, Angus stopping me. "That poor girl's having a night terror, let me go see her!" I say.
"You can't put any weight onto that knee, it's completely broken. They had to put pins and rods in it." Angus says.
Carly's P.O.V, A few seconds earlier…
"STOP! GET AWAY, YOU'RE HURTING ME!" I scream, feeling like the power drill is pressed into my head again as I thrash around frantically, trying to get away… I scream when I feel someone's arms wrap around me, only to recognise Johnny's voice and calm down a bit.
"Shh… it's okay, darling. You're safe, he can't hurt you anymore." Johnny says softly, my eyes still closed but I can hear Dad, Ashley and Clint run into the room, Dad running to the other side of the bed and lightly brushing my hair out of my face.
"It's alright Carly, I know how you feel." Ashley says, lightly hugging me.
I cautiously open my eyes, looking around… I missed being around Ashley, I missed my cousin so much.
"Trevor, no! You already fucking scared her!" We hear Midnight shout in the hallway. Talk about bad fucking timing!
"I don't want to see Trevor right now." I say quietly, Ashley lightly rubbing her hand up and down my back before we let go.
"It's alright, I will get rid of him." Ashley says before leaving the room.
Ashley's P.O.V
"What was that screaming, is Carly okay?!" Dad asks as I run up to him.
"She had a night terror. Now turn around and walk out that door, she doesn't want to see you." I say.
"I don't have experience with night terrors but I want to try to comfort-" Dad says.
"She doesn't want to see you!" I say, growing very impatient.
"Is… is she scared of me?" Dad asks.
"I guess you can say that, and you have brought that on yourself." I say.
Dad leaves, me running back into the room and see that Clint had given Carly a sedative but she's fighting sleep and from the looks on Uncle M and Johnny's faces, her being how she is now is breaking their hearts.
Like Dad, they're not sure how to make the night terrors go away. As much as they want to make them go away, I don't think the night terrors will go away.
"Hey. Why don't you try getting some rest, kiddo?" I say, Carly shaking her head no… poor kid. She doesn't want them coming back. There was a loud thud, followed by Zero screaming in pain.
Carly reached for a nearby scalpel, shaking violently and holding it towards her protectively, Clint gently pulling it out of her hand. Holy shit, she's thinking someone attacked Zero! Running out of the room, I ran into Zero's room and seen that Angus was helping her back into the bed.
"What happened?" I ask.
"I told her not to walk on and she just tried to climb out of bed." Angus says.
"Ash, how's Carly?" Zero asks.
"Terrified. After what Ivory did, I can't blame her… Haines tortured me but for months instead of hours." I say, startling Zero.
"She's not gonna be who she was before this, is she?" Zero says.
