Chapter five

Vert wheeler and his friends pulled up at the address Grace had given them.

The house looked like it had seen better day's part of the roof slates had fallen of and one of the windows had a massive crack in it also the lawn looked like it had not been cut in years.

They had gotten there at some ridicules time at night it must have been about eleven.

Even though it was this late at night they could see one light on from a window by the garage.

Vert was getting bored they had been doing this for three nights now and there was still nothing happing.

"C'mon Vert if something was going to happen don't you think it would off by now" Complained Stanford.

Vert didn't answer as a second light got turned causing everyone to look at the house.

Heavy footsteps came from the house.

"Aria Kyles" shouted an overly angry and voice.

Vert and Agura glanced at each other in worry even though they didn't know the girl they didn't like seeing anyone getting hurt.

The sound of splintering wood was herd as a door had been broken down or broken in.

A high pitch scream put all the battle force five into action.

"Alright team lets go you know the drill by now" said Vert while jumping out of the Saber.

Stanford opened up the top of the Reverb, Sherman got out of the tank with and was going inside with Vert and Agura.

Vert jerked the door open it was stupidly left unlocked all three of them disappeared into the darkness.

Vert quietly went up the stairs as a crash sounded making Agura jump.

As they went down the hallway they could hear somebody speaking.

Then all of a sudden a sound of a slap came to their ears.

"HOW DARE YOU SLAP ME" shouted a deep male voice.

"FATHER STOP IT PLEASE YOUR HURTING ME" shouted Aria with a fear filled voice.

Vert and the others went and hid in the darkest corner of the narrow hallway.

All three hearts had quickened their pace as the door swung over they could see where the door had been broken in.

Aria's screams filled the entire house and seeped outside putting the whole team on edge.

Soon after her screams became muffled Agura glanced at Vert who took her hand to give her some comfort.

The man that staggered out had short brown hair, blue eyes and was most likely a weight lifter.

Just as he passed Agura stumbled out of the hide spot causing Vert and Sherman to quickly grab her and pull her back in.

The man didn't even move to turn he just kept on walking.

The door to Aria's room was only open enough to filter out a single ray of light.

Agura slowly crept forward towards the door her heart rate quickening with every step she took.

Vert and Sherman where following closely behind her.

Agura's hand rested on the door handle for a few seconds before she slowly pushed it open lighting up the whole hallway.

All three of them quickly stepped inside the room, Agura gasped at what she saw.

Aria was tied up with ropes at the end of her bed her eyes where closed she was probably unconscious.

Sherman pulled of the thin quilt of her bed wondering how on earth it could keep her warm when she slept.

Vert was the first one to take in his surroundings Aria's room was barren there was her bed that looked as if it would collapse any second the light on the ceiling didn't have a lightshade which made the room look even more unfriendly and a single dresser.

Vert was shocked at how anybody could live in a room like this it was completely barren.

Agura was now moving towards Aria who still looked like she was unconscious as soon as Agura was two feet away from the girl a floorboard creaked causing everybody to freeze.

After a few seconds nothing happened so Agura quickly stepped towards Aria.

Sherman was also standing close so as soon as Agura could untie the ropes around the dangerously thin girl he could wrap her up in the quilt.

Before Agura started to untie the ropes she quickly took in the girl's physical appearance she was so thin that you could almost see her rib bones her body was covered in bruises she had dark circles around her eyes a split lip and her top and jumper had been ripped of leaving Aria in her bra and combat trousers.

Vert who was now stuffing her small amount of clothing in a sports bag looked into the dresser one more time to find something wrapped in cloth, he picked it up and unwrapped it, finding an old picture of a young Aria and a woman with blue streaks in her hair and her father.

As soon as Agura touched the ropes Aria's eyes shot open her fear filled blue ones met with Agura's kind and worried brown ones.

Aria began to thrash about causing some noise.

"Shush, Shush, Shush where here to help you please be quite" soothed Agura.

Aria only whimpered at the older girls comment before closing her eyes again, Sherman was amazed how could somebody take such a beating and still have enough strength to thrash around like that.

Agura had finished uniting the ropes which had left angry red marks around Aria's wrists.

Sherman had quickly wrapped the quilt around Aria and was now carrying her bridal style.

Vert walked over and tucked a black strand of her hair behind her ear.

"C'mon let's get Aria out of here she needs to get to the hospital" said Vert walking out of the room.

Sherman walked out after Vert and Agura and grabbed the now unwrapped photo that Vert had left on her bed.

All four made it out of the house softly because the man was now passed out on the couch.

Sherman gently placed Aria inside Stanford's car causing him to mumble in protest.

Zoom didn't take his eyes of her once until Agura snapped her fingers in front of his face.

The drive to the hospital was uneventful as they pulled into the car park Stanford took a quick look at her wrist that where bruised and red he saw something that shocked him their where thin lines that ran up her wrists and ones that went across.

Stanford quickly covered her wrists up as Sherman picked the fragile girl up and carried her over to the entrance.

Zoom had noticed the Stanford's actions.

"Stanford what did you see what did that bastard do to her" said Zoom quictly over the comlink.

"He didn't make them cuts she did"
