Nathan looked at his watch, they were driving for about forty-five minutes. His hand was covered in blood, he was holding it on his leg the hole time, the bleeding stopped for the most part, so he took his hand off, the pain stopped for the most part as well.
"How's the leg." Keith asked.
"It's alright," Nathan answered quietly. "How far do you think this is?"
" I don't know, but listen when the car stops, before we get out of here, we have to make sure that there is nobody around, alright? We have to be very careful." Keith told him.
Nathan nodded, he started to get very nervous, his stomach felt like it was doing flip flops.
Lucas was searching around the room for something to use, something to try and get him free, or use against those guys. However there was nothing, besides some boxes with nothing in them but some old clothes. He tried to stack them up to see if he could reach the window and find a way to open it, but it was no use. He was sitting on the floor, with his head against the wall, exhausted. He wrapped his arm up with toilet paper that was near the toilet in the room.
"It's ready?" Lucas herd they lady from outside the room yelling.
"Yeah we just have to wait for the two that were at the exploding house to get here and we can do it." The guy answered.
"Well lets get him set up then." the other guy told him.
Lucas shuddered. They were planning on killing him right now. He got up and ran to the end of the room, with no where to hide he started to shiver of fear. They guy opened the door and started to laugh. "Scared?"
He walked right up to Lucas and Lucas was not going to go down without a fight. He punched him but the guy quickly punched him back. Lucas fell to the floor and tried to hurry and crawl away and the guy was about to kick him but he hurried up and pushed himself out of the way.
Lucas turned around and kicked the guy in the leg, he yelled and Lucas hurried up and ran out of the door but straight into another guy who grabbed Lucas by his neck.
"You let this kid get away from you?" he laughed, it was the same one who Lucas was punching earlier. "Help me bring him outside"
The other guy got up and grabbed one of Lucas's arms and the other guy took his other arm. He was being dragged through the halls and out the door. Lucas kicked and squirmed, what the hell was he going to do.
"Well since the other two aren't back yet, lets have our fun." One guy said. He threw Lucas on the ground, Lucas quickly scurried up to his feet. He looked around and saw a lot of old ritual things surrounding a tree. There was one big tree with ropes around it. A big circle made from sticks were surrounding the tree.
Lucas looked around, there were five different guys surrounding him. Also the two coming back from the house, he knew he didn't have a chance.
"Come on kid, you like to fight, so fight." the one laughed and pushed him.
Lucas tried to punch him but he was pushed again by a guy behind him and hit the ground.
"Hold him up." one of the men said.
Two of the men grabbed Lucas's arm and held up him to the one that Lucas punched earlier, the same guy who had chocked him from the night before. The guy looked at him and punched him in the gut. Lucas yelled and tried to catch his breathe.
"You killed my brother." he said and punched Lucas in his face. "You punched me." The man punched him again. "And all of the problems you caused gave me a headache." The man gave him one more punch and the men dropped him to the ground.
Lucas laid on the ground, coughing, holding his face.
"Have anything to say?" the man walked up to him and asked.
"Screw.." Lucas coughed. " Screw you."
The man just laughed and kicked Lucas again.
The man had a stick in his hand and just started to hit Lucas on the back of the legs a few times. Lucas held in his scream as much as he could but it hurt so bad. Then they herd a car beep.
Lucas looked up and saw two men get out of the car and walk over to them. "Sorry we took so long. Looks like you guys found something to do in the mean time." the man yelled.
"Alright lets get started, tie him up." the man told him.
Nathan and Keith were out of the truck at this time, hiding behind it. They could see Lucas being dragged over to the tree, and how tired he looked, and they could see he was hurt.
"What do we do?" Nathan asked, starting to worry.
Keith was looking around, he had no idea what to do, or how he was going to save Lucas.
The men all gathered around the tree and starting to chant in a weird language. Lucas just looked around trying to break free, but he knew it was know use. There were seven men, all talking in some weird language. Keith looked and saw that there were car keys on the dashboard of the car.
"Nathan stay over here behind that tree." Keith directed Nathan as he slowly opened the car door.
"What are you doing?" Nathan asked him quickly.
"Just do what I tell you, please." Keith begged him.
Nathan just got behind the tree to see what Keith was doing.
With the other men still chanting one got up and started to walk towards Lucas, and took out his knife.
"It's time boy." he told him. Lucas quickly shut his eyes waiting for the pain but all he could feel was his shirt being ripped down the middle. The man took out a marker and drew a big X on his chest.
"You killed my brother, prevented him from being married, prevented him from being happy." he told Lucas. "Now you must die because of it. He will look at us from above and see that you are being sacrificed for him."
Lucas started to shake of fear when they herd one of the cars engines start up. Everyone looked over and Keith pushed on the gas and started speeding to where the men were. Keith was heading right towards them and the all jumped out of the way. Keith's plan was working, they were all scattering, afraid of being hit by the car. However his plan went wrong when one of the guys pulled out his gun. He started shooting at the car and hit the tires. Keith lost control.
The car swerved and skidded out in a different direction.
"Who the hell is that!" the guy with the knife screamed.
The men started to get up and run over to where the car was going when the man with the knife looked at Lucas.
"Time to get this over with." he smiled.
Lucas saw him get his knife and was a split second from stabbing him when Nathan appeared and punched him right in his face.
"Nathan!" Lucas screamed.
Nathan kicked the guy a couple times and then grabbed his knife. "You son of a bitch!" he screamed.
Looking down at the guy Nathan turned around and cut Lucas free. Lucas didn't realize how weak he was, from being beaten, dragged, and so tired he stumbled almost falling to the ground.
"It's okay, I got you." Nathan told him.
"Sorry," Lucas was embarrassed. "I..I thought you were dead." he told him.
Nathan looked at his brother and realized how realized he was that Lucas was okay.
They herd the car that Keith was in and herd gunshots.
"Oh shit, Keith!" Nathan said out loud.
Nathan looked down at the guy and let Lucas lean up against a tree and pulled the guy up and put the knife to his throat.
"Tell him to get back here." Nathan told him. "Tell them to get over here and leave my uncle alone or I'll kill you."
Lucas looked at the guy and saw he was scared. He called out for his friends and told him to hurry up and get back here. They were surprisingly very fast. They showed up right away.
However they had Keith, and a gun to his head.
"I'll kill him." Nathan spoke to the guy who had his Uncle trapped.
"I will have no problem pulling this trigger." The man said back to him.
Lucas looked around and saw a tree branch by his foot. He slowly bent down to pick it up.
"Drop it boy." the man turned the gun and pointed it at Lucas.
Lucas had no choice but to put it down and continue to lean on the tree. He felt like his legs were about to give out.
The gun was still pointed at Lucas when the man laughed and looked at Nathan then back at Lucas.
"You should of been dead by now." he told him. He looked Lucas right in the eye and before anyone could speak he pulled the trigger.
