A/N : Say hello to the second to the last chapter! Hahaha!

Chapter 11 – ''I look like what?''

( Ranze's POV )

I was getting really worried as I check my wristwatch every 5 seconds from the moment I realized that Hannah and Mare hasn't come back yet.

''Rhince.'' I said.

His lips was on the mouth of his glass as he replied, ''Hmm?''

''They're taking too long.''

''Yeah. So? They're girls. They always take long inside the bathroom. Like 5 times longer than boys.'' Rhince said and smirked.

Now that just annoyed the hell out of me. ''How can you be so calm? Just that night at the club, Hannah almost got herself killed. And now, I can feel it's happening again.'' I said angrily with a silent voice. I can't afford anyone to hear our conversation.

''I'm just joking.''

''Joking. Really?''

''Okay, whatever. Instead of fighting, why don't we just check if they're okay?''

As we walk closer to the ladies' room, my instincts kept telling me that the two of them aren't there anymore. My heartbeat just thumped faster.

''Okay, open it.'' I told Rhince. His eyes went big with my command.

''Me? No way, I have etiquette. Why don't you open it yourself?'' He shot back as he crossed his arms over his chest.

''Whatever.'' I rolled my eyes and twisted the doorknob open.

( Rhince's POV )

The moment Ranze opened the door, I felt numb with the scenario. The mirrors were shattered to pieces and the faucet was spilling water all over the floor. It was a total chaos.

''Shit.'' I heard my twin brother curse. ''We're too late! How can we be so careless?!''

I gestured my hands to calm him down. As if I can, he's not at his most rational state right now. I mean, he really is freaking out.

''Ranze, calm down. Freaking out won't solve everything.''

''Me? Freaking out?'' he brushed his hand over his hair and placed his other hand over his chin. ''I'm. Not. Freaking. Out.''

''Yes, Ranze, yes you are.'' I said as I arched an eyebrow at him.

''We are so dead, Rhince. Thierry and Ash are really going to kill us now.'' He blabbed out again as he squat.

''Not unless we find them before anyone finds out that they went missing.'' I shot him with a bright idea.

Then slowly, he stood up. As his lips curved a smile, I knew he liked the idea.

''You truly are brilliant. I regret the days when I doubted your IQ.'' He said mockingly.

''Oh, shut up.'' And the two of us laughed again. Too confident of the fact that we surely will find Hannah and Mary-Lynette.

( Hannah's POV )

Everything was a blur the moment a tall handsome guy grabbed my hair as he kissed my neck over and over. I wanted to push him away from me but I was paralyzed. His hold was also very strong that no matter what I do, I just can't get away from him. God, Thierry, help.

It was already near morning and the sun was about to rise beautifully when I woke up. Then I realized that I just woke up to see myself tied upside down in an abandoned building. Then I saw Mary-Lynette with her wrists tied with a thick rope on a huge column. She looked very weak and dirt was all over her clothes.

I can't see anyone else other than the two of us. Those creeps must have decided to live us here. I need to wake Mare up.

''Mare! Wake up, Mare! Wake up!''

Mare groaned, her jaw went tight and she blinked really hard. And then she coughed. ''Hannah?'' she called as she scanned the place but not looking up.

''Mare, I'm right here! Look up!'' She looked up, Mare was shocked to see the view of me hanged upside down.

''What are you doing there?'' she screamed as if forgetting what happened to us.

''I have no idea. But we need help. Can you manage freeing yourself?'' I asked.

''I'm too tired. I don't know. But I'll try.''

''Okay. But please do hurry. I'm really trying to cope with my awkward position here. How could those jerks tie me up here? Is it really necessary? Geez.''

Mare was taking too long to answer, I was puzzled why she wasn't answering back.

''Mare?!''

''Shh.'' She was lost again. Then I realized that Mare was listening to something, she was focusing herself on hearing the sound outside.

''Do you hear that?'' she asked, still listening from outside.

''No . . . hey, I hear something.''

''Exactly. What do you think is it?''

''I'm not sure, a vehicle?''

''Yes, a vehicle. But what kind of vehicle could it be?''

''I think it's a truck. It's too noisy for a car.''

''Yeah, a truck. . . a dump truck!''

I was stunned for a while, then I realized what a dump truck could be doing in this place.

''This building is about to demolished!'' I screamed.

Mare's eyes went big, she was obviously stunned, too. ''No way. We need to find a way to get out of here, Hannah!''

''But how?! We're stuck here. There's no way we can get away. We're going to die, Mary-Lynette.'' Not as if I want to die. But the scenario was very perfect to kill two innocent ladies without even noticing it. It was just obvious. We'll never survive this death. Just never.

( Mary-Lynette's POV )

Hannah's right. We're going to die here. We'll be crushed the moment this building collapses down. There's no hope anymore.

I just never thought that this way of death will come to me. How could this happen? I wasn't even given the chance to say goodbye to my beloved, Ash. I only wish that he'll find someone who can love and care for him more than I did. A person who truly deserves to be loved by him.

''You might be right. I guess there really is no other choice. Let's just face it, Hannah. We're dead.'' I told Hannah as I let hot tears spill over my cheeks.

''Goodbye, Mare. Thanks for being e very great friend.'' Hannah said, her voice shaking as she cried.

''Goodbye, Hannah. You are such a treasure to keep.''

Then the building started to rumble. It was shaking now. I could feel that the floors under us is already falling down as a very huge ball of iron hits the building.

I started to close my eyes and calm myself. I wanted to have a peaceful death. To accept my fate and remember the faces of those I love. Ash, Mark, Dad, Claudine, Jade, Kestrel, Rowan and my friends at Circle Daybreak. And at that moment, I was ready.

Ready until I felt strong arms lift me up and carried me away from the building.

I instantly opened my eyes and saw Rhince running really fast as if the huge ball of iron was chasing every step he took.

Ranze was running side by side with him now. Ranze was carrying Hannah securely and making sure that no heavy rocks hit her. Rhince was doing the same for me.

And at that moment, I felt alive again.

Ranze and Rhince landed perfectly on solid ground with both their strong legs as the old abandoned building behind us totally crushed down.

''You okay?'' Rhince asked me.

I nodded blankly with my eyes still shocked. ''I have never felt this safe since that moment between life and death.'' I said and breathed heavily.

Hannah is now unconscious, but atleast she's still alive. We are still alive.

''How did you found us anyway?'' I suddenly remembered and asked the twins.

–flashback-

( Ranze's POV )

Rhince and I went out immediately after we paid our bills at the restaurant.

I really am at an urge to find Hannah and Mary-Lynnete. Not because I was scared of their soulmates, it was because I know it was our fault that they are in danger right now. They're our responsibility and losing the two of them at once will make me insane.

We're currently walking the lively city of Vegas, hoping to find clues of where Hannah and Mare could be.

. . . Then I felt the instinct again as I saw a man wearing a hoodie as he glares at us. I was so curious of why he was doing that, It made me walk closer to him and what happened next was what caused the adrenaline to rush through my veins.

He ran away as fast as he could with his face that showed panic and of how scared he was. He seemed to be scared of someone . . . of us.

He ran breathlessly as I and Rhince chased him down through the darkest sides of Vegas. He was fast. Fast enough for a vermin.

I grabbed the hood of his jacket that almost slipped through my grasp, yet luckily, Rhince was there to grab him back.

I was so angry that I never thought of even asking the man we were chasing first of why was he running away from us. I just shot a question at him without even thinking twice.

''Where did you take the girls?! Where?!'' I shouted as I pulled the neck line of his hoodie. Rhince stood behind the guy to secure that if he tried to run away, he'll be there to catch him anyway.

His eyes was shocked and scared with the color of green. He was breathing heavily and was gasping for air. Cold sweat dripping over his forehead and neck. I was about to punch the soul out of him when suddenly . . . he spoke.

''At Steinzen Street. . . that was where . . . where Vince ordered us to take them.'' he said breathlessly.

''So it was you after all.'' Rhince said as he laughed shortly.

''Where the hell in Steinzen Street are they?!''

He gulped and answered as fast as his tongue and breath could manage. ''In an abandoned building. Vince wants the two of them dead. Especially the blond one. . . He's crazy! The blond just looks exactly like his girlfriend who died last year. He was so mad of why his girl should have died. But she actually died not because of an accident . . . she had suicide. He was too obsessed of her that it just gave her the creeps. No matter how many times Lindsay would want him to go away, he just won't. He would even send death threats to those people who would talk to her. He won't even let Lindsay's friends have a conversation with her. . . and . . . maybe that was the time when she just wanted to take a rest. . . . To rest forever.'' His voice trailed off. Hot tears spilled over his cheeks without even noticing. ''And he just became more of a psycho now.'' He added silently.

''Why are you telling all of this to us?'' I asked as I let go of his shirt.

''Lindsay. Lindsay was my bestfriend. Well, not just my bestfriend. She was more than a friend to me. We fell inlove right before Vince even came. He just blackmailed her to have a relationship with him. She never even loved him.''

''Oh, that's why you joined Vince's gang, eh?'' Rhince asked again as he walked to face the guy.

I arched a brow . . . then I realized why. ''You wanted revenge.''

He nodded. Then his eyes went big again as if he remembered something. ''I forgot. I'm Cole, by the way.'' He said as he reached out his hand. I shook it and then Rhince did.

''Nice to hear that. I'm Justin and this is my twin brother, Jasper.'' Of course I would lie.

'Oh. . . oh shit, I just remembered!''

''What?''

''The building will be demolished any moment now! They'll die if you don't save them now!'' he shouted hysterically.

My chest felt tight of what I heard. We really need to hurry now, then I'll kill that Vince, myself later.

End of flashback . . .

( Hannah's POV )

I woke up as I felt someone brushing my hair gently. Thierry? Is that you? Then I opened my eyes. . . it was Ranze. We were still in front of the abandoned, now demolished building.

''H-how, how did you found us? And why did those creepy guys took us?'' I asked.

''Because you looked like their leader's dead girlfriend.'' Ranze replied.

''I look like what?'''

Then I heard Mary-Lynette laugh faintly.
