GWENDOLYN'S POV

I stared at the man in front of me he looked down towards Devlin.

"what are you doing here?" I asked the blue eyed man.

"I just came to visit my favorite little Antodyte" he crossed his fingers and smiled imtimidatingly.

"this must be your nephew" he looked down across the room towards the small boy.

I placed my hand on his shoulder "Devlin go to your room" I told him in a strict tone.

"but-" he retorted

"now Devlin" I demanded keeping my gaze on the intruder.

He immediately backed away and ran up to his room.

"ah alone at last" he placed his hand on my waist staring me up and down.

disgusted, I immediately pushed him back and slapped him on the face though regretted it deeply as the pain started to rush violently down my wrist. 'ow' i mimed, my eyes widened as i stared down at my now shaking hand.

"now that wasn't very nice Gwenny" he held his mouth and turned back towards me. 'great' i thought, should have ran why i had the chance.

I back away from him as he smiled at me. 'oh no'

he started to chuckle as my back hit the wall. i had never felt so defenseless in my life. i screamed as my throat was grabbed by an abnormally strong hand. i could feel my feet departing from the floor as my eyes winced even tighter and without any intervening he threw me into the next room over.

it must've been easy for him. he seemed stronger than Ben. stronger then Kevin even.

"tell you what Gwen-DO-lyn" he walked over to me as I struggled to get back up.

"i'll make you a deal" he crouch down next to me grabbing my arm and pulling me over towards him.

"nuh" I winced as I tried to get up but he held me down.

"now listen closely" he whispered into my ear as i tried to squirm away from him.

"you can either try and stay hear with your little cheater cousin" he hissed his words grabbing the back of my head and raising me up a bit.

"or can come 'nice and easily' along with me and i promise no harm will come to your family" he pushed me onto his lap.
i thought for a moment then realized what he said. 'I highly doubt i'd ever see them again'

"GO TO HELL" i shouted at him getting up quickly and kicking him in the mouth. he yelped in pain as he fell to the floor nose- broken and ridge bleeding. instantly i ran towards the stairs taking two at a time to get to Devlin.

"DEV" i shouted knocking with haste on his door. "AUNT GWENDOLYN" he shouted hugging me as he flew threw. i grabbed his shoulders after a second. "common" i looked down at him. "We gotta get out of here" i told him as he looked past me. My smile faded as his eyes bulged staring right behind me. "Devlin" i started to get scared. "aunt Gwendolyn" he whispered.

i turned round to see bright blue eyes and shinning teeth in the shadows. the smile brightened as i turned fully round.

immediately it grabbed the back of my hair and dragged me near the stairs.

"GET OFF OF ME" I screamed at it.

"AUNT GWENDOLYN" i heard Devlin scream. "DEV RUN" i screamed back at him as he ran towards KoJack. He threw me down the stairs my head and shoulders hitting the back of the wall. "uh" i groaned as my head started to spin. i could feel a warm liquid running down my head. "STAY THERE" i heard a male yell as i heard an explosion as my eyes began to flutter back open. "Devlin" i whispered his name as i began to get up slowly taking one step at a time. my eyes widened at what i saw Devlin was down on the ground with CoJack standing down at him.

"y-you Bastard" i hissed as my hand began to glow. he turned to his left and stared at me with the same smile plastered on his face. "don't worry i didn't forget about you" his hand began to turn into a whip. i could the lining of gash marks down Devlin I remembered how painful it was when he did the same to me. i squinted one eye trying to shake the memory.

with anomalous force he grabbed my throat again and forced me against the wall crushing his weight onto me and forcing onto me. "i dont think you'll be getting out of this any time soon" he chuckled as more blood rushed down my face. "Oh" i whispered closing my eyes and groaning. immediately i heard a door open and close. both me and CoJack looked towards the stairs to see what it was. "DEVLIN, GWENDOLYN" a familiar voice shouted. 'Ben' i looked up in hope as i sucker punched CoJack in the nose yet again. "BE-" i screamed but was holted by the air bursting out my ears. i bent over coughing up blood as i looked up at the man who had just hit me in the stomach.

"GWEN" someone shouted my name as my mouth was covered by a hand covered in blood. 'oh gosh i was probably Devlin's' i whimpered under his hand as he backed me up against the wall and into the shadows. "YOU UP THERE" Ben shouted as heavy steps came up the stairs.

"Ben" i heard Devlin whisper. i squirmed eagerly under his hands. "DEVLIN" i heard someone yell as i turned towards Ben. "MUNPH" i screamed but it didnt come out clearly. he turned towards the shadows and stared towards us. instantly i was hoisted up as a gun was placed next to my head.

"Nice to see you again Bengi" CoJack said with a hiss. "CoJack" Ben's face screwed up. i was starting to feel dizzy again as my knees began to buckle as CoJack forced me back into his arms.

"just let her go CoJack, this is between us" Ben said as he waved his arms up. "No" was all CoJack said. he cocked the ready to fire. i winced my eyes closed. "this is going to end with one of us being shot and its not going to be me" he said ready to fire.

'oh no' the barrel fired as i dropped to my knees keeping my eyes closed. someone grabbed me in a tight hug. i looked up to see Ben holding me closely. "Ben your Ok" i said hugging him back. "but that means" i looked backed to see what was left of CoJack. 'what just happened' i thought as i looked back towards Ben with watery eyes. "Ben?" i looked up at him. "yeah" he replied. "Devlin. get Devlin" i told him looking at him with half closed eyes.

"K stay here" he said as he ran towards him checking his pulse then lifting him up.

i could hear coughing from him as i stared. "i'll put him in the tank. should be healed by tomorrow" he told me as he walked away leaving me alone soaked in blood with a dead body. i breathed out leaning against the wall and closing my eyes. "Gwendolyn?" i turned my head to see my grandpa.

"hey" i smiled at him starting to feel tired. "Jesus" he said looking over to the body. "what happened?" he asked slowly approaching me. "nothing much" i told him closing my eyes and leaning back again.

"doesnt look like nothing" he placed his hand on my shoulder and with his other hand to my forehead. "nuh" in breathed out wincing. he just stared at me worriedly. "you alright now?" he asked quietly. i nodded. "Grandpa?" i looked up to him. "whats a matter pumpkin" he smiled at me. "Devlin got hurt" i told him reaching towards him. "can you check on him" i asked. "sure sweetheart. Where is he?"

"Ben took him to the tank" I told him before the darkness came over.

MAX'S POV

"Gwen" i shook her gently hoping she would wake up. "Grandpa?" i turned to see Ben staring at me. "what you doing" he asked as i released Gwen making her accidentally drop to the floor. "i better clean this up" Ben said picking up the deceased. "Ben" i grabbed my arm. "i'll handle it you take care of your cousin" i told him. he smiled handing it over then picking up Gwen.

BEN'S POV

i carried her up to my i mean our room. she was begining to wake back up as i placed her back down onto the bed. I sat down next to her and stared down at her sleeping form. i could see blood hiding under the drapes of her hair. brushing the hair out of her face and forcing my lips to hers. instantly her arms came up and wrapped around me. we finally released as we stared into each others eyes.

"Ben" she smiled at me.

"i want you" she whispered as i chuckled. "i think you need to go to hospital" i told her kissing down the lining of her neck. "i think your to busy to do that" she laughed a bit. "close your eyes" i told her as i undid her shirt. "i gotta surprise for you" i told her.

MAX'S POV

i could hear strange noises up stairs but i ignored it. i had told Kenny to go to his room but he wanted to stay with Devlin. Cleaning up this mess in secret is so hard. what will I say when Kenny asked how that stain even got there. i sighed coming to terms with what we'll have to discuss later.

the noises had stopped upstairs which reminded to check on Devlin which i promised Gwen i'd do first thing. well at least she wont know.

NOBODIES POV

they laid there with ruffled hair and heavy breathing. "Gwen" he whispered her name with sharp breaths. she smiled and looked over to him. "yeah Ben?" she asked with one breath. "I know its a big step but i'm ready to take it" he said as he pulled her in. "and i want you take it with me" he told her kissing her hair. he then pulled her up to look her in the eyes. "Gwen" he paused. "will you marry me?" he asked. she sprang with happiness in an instance hugging tighter then never before. "YES, YES I WILL MARRY YOU" she yelled happily.

"Best day of my life" he chuckled.

"yeah was a great day, well except from that Cojack incident but it was still good" she said.

he chuckled at her remark "Love you too Gwen" he snickered which led to her hitting him playfully.
