Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't updated in a while! Thanks for all the reviews! Here is chapter 7:

When She Came: Chapter 7:

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

So that was it. He went to his house and I went to mine. Again, it was dark when I walked in. I thought that Ace was passed out or something. I began to walk towards the stairs.

"I've been waiting for you."

I froze. Ace was right behind me. And I was out of luck. Trapped again. But this time I was alone.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

My mouth dropped open and my eyes went wide. I really didn't expect Ace to be there. I really hoped that I could get in without being seen. Since that wasn't the case, I needed to find another way out. Fast. I turned around to look at Ace.

"W-what do you want, Ace," I asked; my voice shaking slightly.

He smiled. It wasn't a normal smile. It was a really creepy smile. It scared me.

"You and your little faggot friends really pissed us off. Especially Chambers. And now you're going to pay for it. All of you."

I was a bit confused at this point.

"What do you mean," I asked. "What do you mean all of us? I'm the only one here."

There it was again. That creepy smile. Then followed by an even creepier laugh.

"What I mean is that all your little boyfriends are gonna get beat up. Eyeball and Billy will beat the shit out of their brothers and some other cobras will get the other two. But now, you're here, with me. Alone. I get to kill you."

I backed away against the wall. But then I realized that I shouldn't be scared. I wasn't about to let Ace do anything. I just wouldn't let him.

"I'm not letting you beat me up, Ace. I ain't going down without a fight. So you just try it. Just try."

He took a step toward me.

"Well then," he said. "More fun for me."

I really rather not fight Ace. I don't think I'd stand a chance. So I did the first thing I could. I made a mad dash for the stairs. Of course that didn't do me any good because Ace grabbed me from behind.

"Let go of me," I screamed. "Get the hell off me."

Ace didn't let go. I didn't expect him to either. With a burst of energy I pushed back as hard as I could and slammed into the wall. This caused Ace to let go of me. This was my moment. I tried to run but Ace grabbed my ankle and I went crashing to the floor. I began to crawl away. Ace was standing over me; following me.

"Why can't you just leave me the hell alone? Leave us alone. Just leave us alone you bastard!."

"I'm gonna kill you for that you little shit."

I stopped crawling once I hit the wall and stood up. I wasn't gonna let him win. I couldn't. I suddenly felt myself getting really angry. Angry at Ace, angry at everything.

"You stupid asshole," I screamed and jumped on Ace.

The unexpected move took Ace by surprise and we both went crashing to the floor. I sung wildly at Ace; most of my punches hitting him.

"Take that you evil son of a bitch. You stupid, idiotic, asshole. I hate you."

I was about to swing again but this time, Ace grabbed my wrists and flipped me over so that he was on top of me.

"You stupid bitch," he screamed. "I'll kill you."

It was his turn to do the punching. He was hitting hard but not hard enough to knock me out.

"Stop," I tried to say.

"I'm going to kill you," he said.

He raised his hand to strike but before he could I kicked my leg up and fortunately hit the right spot. He immediately fell off of me and was curled up on the floor. I used this opportunity to run up to my room and lock the door behind me. I breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm safe. For now."

………………………………………………………………………………………………….

The next morning I woke up later than usual. It was almost eleven. Thankfully Ace had already left. He was probably off getting drunk somewhere. I could care less. I looked in the mirror and saw that I had a black eye and a big bruise on the side of my face.

"Well ain't that just perfect," I said to my reflection.

After getting dressed, I realized that Chris hadn't come to get me. That worried me because he was always here waiting for me. I waited five more minutes and when he didn't show, I ran toward his house and banged on the door.

"Chris! Chris," I called. "Chris! Are you there? Chris!."

No answer came from inside. I put my ear up to the door to see if I could hear something. The house was strangely quiet. I tried the door and it was unlocked. I hesitated but finally decided to go in. The place was a huge mess.

"Chris! Chris!."

Still nothing. I looked quickly around the first floor of the house. No one was there. I decided to take a look upstairs. It felt really weird looking around someone else's house but I had a really bad feeling that Chris was hurt so I really didn't care. I looked in the first room. Nothing. Nothing in the second room either. I looked in the third room. Someone was lying on the floor. It took me a second to realize who it was.

"Chris! Oh my God!."

I rushed up to him. He was in bad shape. He had a black eye and a bunch of cuts and bruises. There was blood soaking through his white shirt. He looked really bad. I had to look away. I had to wake him up.

"Chris," I said. "Chris! Come on, you gotta wake up. Please, Chris."

Slowly, he began to open his eyes. He looked around and smiled when he saw me.

"Ren? What? What are you doing here," he asked.

"I-I came to see if you were okay and I found you like this. What happened Chris?."

He slowly sat up and sighed.

"It was Eyeball. I told you they would get us. It looks like Ace got you too."

"Yeah," I said. "But I don't look half as bad as he does."

We laughed but it seemed too much for Chris because he held his side in pain.

"Are you okay," I asked worriedly.

He smiled weakly and started to stand up.

"I'll be okay. I'm used to it anyway," he said. "Just give me a minute to get cleaned up."

I nodded and he went off the bathroom. A little while later, he came out looking a little better. Still beat up but a little better.

"Ready to go," he asked.

I nodded and we walked out the door together.

………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Gordie, Teddy, and Vern were already at the tree house when we got there. They were pretty beaten up too. Another win for Ace and the cobras.

"Ace got you too," Teddy asked me.

"Yeah he did," I answered. "But compared to me, he looks like shit run over twice."

The boys were strangely amazed that I was able to fight Ace so they had me describe the fight in detail.

"Well," I started. "It really wasn't that special or anything. It was more luck than anything. He grabbed me, I slammed him into the wall. I tackled him and punched the shit out of him and he somehow flipped me over and punched the shit out of me. That's when I kicked him where it hurts and then I ran away. That's really it."

The boys stared at me in shock.

"You kicked him," Teddy asked. "In the balls?."

"Well, yeah," I replied. "That's another way of putting it but yeah. I guess he won't mess with me anymore. Well for a while at least."

I laughed because the guys were still staring at me in shock.

"All right already! Stop staring at me!."

………………………………………………………………………………………………….

An hour later, we were still at the tree house and I was bored to tears. The guys were playing cards. They seemed to love playing cards. I was day dreaming in my own world until I literally jumped with an idea.

"You know what guys," I said. "I got a really good idea."

They all stopped playing and looked up at me.

"What is it," Chris asked.

I jumped up and walked around the small tree house.

"Ace and his stupid gang always get back at us when we do something," I said. " And we are all tired of it. How come they can always get us back for what we do to them but we can never get back at them? So, why don't we get them back? It doesn't matter what we do, as long as we get them back."

They guys really seemed to like the idea.

"Wait! Hold on a second," said Vern.

We all looked at Vern to continue.

"How do we know that Ace won't come after us anyway?."

"We don't," I replied. "That's why we gotta come up with something that makes sure they can't come after us. For a while at least. At least so we can have one free day. Maybe two."

We sat and thought for a moment. Teddy was the first to have an idea.

"Why don't we completely destroy their cars," he suggested.

Gordie shook his head.

"That won't make him leave us alone, Teddy. That'll make him murder us."

It was tempting but I had to agree with Gordie. Ace would really murder us if we did anything to his precious car.

"I got a really cool idea," Chris said.

"What is it Chris," I asked.

"There's this house on Crawford Street," he explained. "It's really old and it's abandoned. There is this dark and scary basement. Eyeball locked me in there one time. Anyway, I was thinkin' that we could trick them into coming there and then lock them in the basement. It would get them off our backs for a day or two. Maybe more if we're lucky. And I know for a fact that Eyeball is scared of dark places. What do you guys think?."

"That is so perfect," I said.

The guys were quick to agree with me. It sounded pretty good.

"Alright," I said. "This is the plan. Me and Chris will find Ace and the Cobras and we'll make them follow us to the house. Teddy, Gordie, and Vern will be waiting in the house. When we get there, we'll lead them into the basement and lock the door. Sound good?."

"Boss," they all said and I rolled my eyes.

The rest of the day was spent talking bout our little prank.

………………………………………………………………………………………………….

At exactly 5 'o' clock, we went our separate ways. Me and Chris were walking down the street looking for the cobras.

"So," I said. "This is gonna be fun don't you think?."

"Yeah," Chris replied. "I wonder where they are right now."

"Well what do we have here?."

We both jumped and turned around. Ace had a way of sneaking up on people.

"Where ya going," Ace asked. "You gonna go make out some where?."

The cobras laughed and Ace smiled.

"No," Chris said. "It's no of your goddamn business, Ace. So why don't you and your gang of pussies go away leave us alone."

That did it. We started running and of course, Ace and the cobras ran after us. We ran as fast as we could. We eventually made it to the house. We ran inside and hide behind the basement door with the rest of the guys.

"You finally made it," Teddy said sarcastically.

"Shut-up," I whispered.

Ace and the cobras were not far behind us. They came running inside and rushed down into the basement. We can out from behind the door and stood at the top of the stairs.

"Hey assholes," Chris called out. "Hope you have fun when you're locked up in here."

"Uh…Chris," Vern said.

"What?."

Vern smiled weakly.

"I…I…uh….I locked the door by accident.

"Oh shit."

We all turned around. The cobras were all smiling. We were all scared.

"My, my," Ace said. "How the tables have turned."
