"Come on Mal!" Brad called after me.
"I'm really getting sick of this hard to get malarkey" he said sounding bored.
"Just give up!" he mocked.
"You know you are not getting out of here without me" he warned me darkly.
"No one knows where you are" he reminded me which made me panic. I hated to say it but he was right; no one knew where we were and there was a very big chance that I was going to get dragged to the Isle against my own will. I started to wonder how I was going to be able to stop them but I was stopped in my tracks when I heard a voice.
"Yes they do" Evie said and I turned around to watch her step in front of the carriage doorway. I watched as both Brad's and Harry's face dropped at this and I started to panic as Evie didn't realise what risk she had just put herself in.
"Evie!" I exclaimed.
"Hello Brad!" Evie snapped as she glared at him.
"Evie no!" I exclaimed.
"You don't realise what you have just done you stupid bitch!" Brad snapped as he ran at Evie and unfortunately he was too quick for her and he grabbed her, opened the side door and dragged her down the steps.
"Mal if you don't want us to hurt your best friend-" he started as he stood behind Evie and he wrapped his arms around her so now she was held against her.
"You better come back here wife" he sang as Evie attempted to struggle against him.
"Mal don't!" Evie advised.
"Shut up you!" Brad snapped as he threw Evie a dark look as he tightened his arms around her.
"So what is it Mal?" he mocked.
"Bride or bride maid? Your choice" he added as he winked at me. I felt my rib cage heave in panic; I had now put Evie at risk! I knew what he was capable of and there was no way I could allow him to harm Evie. I would never forgive myself if anything happened to her.
"I don't really dig blue haired chicks" he cooed and I watched as he slowly stroked Evie's right cheek with his left hand and I saw Evie freeze. I had told Evie exactly what had happened in my hotel room in Apheliotia so I knew what she would be thinking. That Brad was going to repeat his behaviour against me or Evie - or both!
"But I'm sure I could be accommodating" he sang as he brought his face close to Evie's.
"Drop dead!" She spat.
"Ha!" He spat darkly.
"Harry it must be an Isle thing" he stated.
"Slutty girls-" he added as he slowly looked Evie up and down.
"With a sassy mouth" he purred.
"Get off me!" She said as she tried to struggle against him; I threw Harry a look and he just sighed and shook his head before he went back to stroking his hook slowly.
"No!" I heard Brad shout which made me look back at him.
"You don't know who you are dealing with Brad" Evie warned him.
"You might have gone to the Isle but you are not an original" she stated.
"What is that supposed to mean?" He laughed.
"Well for a start if you are going to capture someone-" Evie started as I took a couple of steps closer to them. If Evie was going to be able to get herself free from Brad I needed to be in a safe enough distance to grab her so we could both run.
"You make sure that they can't do this" she stated before she stamped on his foot. I watched as Brad shouted in pain so Evie used this as her opportunity to quickly elbow him in the shoulder and nose and privates. Brad then dropped the floor and Evie quickly ran up to me. I watched that Harry's face dropped in shock but he didn't move from where he was - his dismissive behaviour was really catching me off guard.
"Mal run" Evie said dragging me away and breaking my train of thought. I quickly threw Evie a look and we both started to run - as quick as we could in heels. Thankfully there were a lot of boilers, storage containers and machinery in the warehouse so we were able to duck behind a set of containers before we ran around them. For the next few minutes we ran and ran kept turning left and right every now and again; yes I knew we were probably getting lost but we were also putting a distance between us, Brad and Harry and this was the main thing.
"That was close" I breathed after we stopped running and flung ourselves behind a dusty, dark red steel container. My ribs were aching and heaving with the effort of running but we were both trying to keep quiet; we both knew that both Brad and Harry were running after us and we needed to try and get out of here before they found us.
"Yes" Evie muttered.
"Evie if he hurt you-" I started.
"Shh" Evie stated and we both fell into silence as we heard footsteps nearby.
"WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON THE BOTH OF YOU I WILL MAKE YOU PAY!" Brad roared which echoed around the room.
"Harry come on!" we heard him snap.
"Whatever" I heard Harry bark back before a series of slow footsteps echoed around the room after Brad's quick paced ones. I didn't like the sound of how close they were so I slid my hand into Evie's and I dragged her around the corner and we quickly ran behind another container. We stopped when we saw Harry and Brad at the end of the long line of containers with their backs to us and Evie quickly dragged me in the opposite direction until we found ourselves next to a lot of old disused boilers.
"Have you text Ben?" I muttered as we continued through the boilers.
"Yes" she confirmed.
"Good" I advised; at least Ben didn't think that I had jilted him. But I now knew that he was going to be filled with panic at the thought of me being anywhere near Brad - especially as we both knew what Brad was going to do to me if he ever came close to me again.
"Do you know where we are?" I asked.
"Yes" she confirmed.
"We are in Auradon industrial park next to the barrier; I told Ben there are boilers in here so he should know which buildings to come towards" she explained and I started to fill with hope; if Ben knew where we were then I knew he would be on his way to me. But he needed to get here quick as I didn't know how long me and Evie were going to be able to hold Brad and Harry off for.
"Hopefully" I muttered.
"We need to try and get out of here and now!" I advised and I started to look around and I started to fill with glee when I saw a fire exit door.
"There" I stated as I nodded towards the door.
"Quietly" I muttered and we both started to run towards the fire exit door; in fact we were halfway there until we heard a dark voice.
"Now where do you two think you are going?" Brad mocked.
"Brad just shove off will you!" I snapped as I turned and looked at him.
"Nah!" he laughed.
"Not after all the effort I have put into this" he teased as he threw his arms into the air with a flourish.
"You are coming back to the Isle with me" he reminded me.
"I am not!" I snarled and I watched as he took a step towards us.
"Stay back!" Evie snapped.
"Or else what?" he answered darkly.
"I don't think either of you are in the attire to fight us off darling" he mocked and I watched as a dark glint entered his eyes.
"You do realise that everyone knows we are missing; it won't be long before they come looking" I advised as we took a step away him.
"And by that point you BOTH will be on the Isle!" he spat back as he started to walk towards us.
"And your stupid husband will never find you, I will make sure of that!" he laughed darkly.
"Hmph!" I puffed.
"He will" I stated.
"And he will get you!" I warned him.
"Ben?" he teased as he stood still.
"He might be King but he can't fight himself out of a paper bag" he laughed.
"LIES!" I shouted.
"Where's Harry?" Evie asked and I quickly looked around and noticed that Harry was nowhere to be seen. I didn't know whether this was a good thing or not; as Harry's current behaviour was still catching me off guard.
"I don't know; I don't know why I even brought him to be honest. I should have brought Gil - he is more reliable" he lazily answered.
"Maybe!" I spat.
"Now let's just get this over with" he stated and he started to run at me and Evie. We turned and ran; and thankfully we were able to run into one of the offices and we locked the door behind us. We watched as Brad started to bang and shout at us through the door and we both threw each other a hopeful look; fingers crossed this would keep Brad out long enough for Ben to come and find us. We started to back away from the door and I started to fill with panic again when I watched the door fly open and it collided with the wall with a loud bang.
"Now that wasn't very nice was it?" he teased as he stepped into the room. I involuntarily took a deep and panicked breath; why could I not catch a break?
"Come here!" he shouted.
"NOW!" he roared as he pointed hastily to the floor in front of him.
"I am not a dog!" I snarled.
"Well" he teased.
"I'm not going to comment on that; I know how you like it" he mocked and my widened in shock.
"Brad fuck off!" I snapped as I started to fill with embarrassment; I knew he was trying to embarrass me in front of Evie but it wasn't going to work. Brad made my skin crawl and to be quite honest I wished I had never clapped eyes on him.
"No!" he snapped and he ran towards me and Evie; Evie stepped in front of me and I watched as Brad tried to shove her out of the way. I flung myself at them as I didn't want Brad to hurt her in anyway; however we fell into a scuffle in which me and Evie were trying to protect each other and Brad was trying to get at me. I thought we were going to be able to overpower him but this soon changed when he flung Evie to the floor and she banged her head onto one of the metal desks in the office.
"Evie!" I exclaimed.
"What have you done?" I said in shock as I bent down and gave Evie's left shoulder a shake. I took a deep breath in panic as she wouldn't wake up; she had a large cut to her forehead; but thankfully she was still breathing.
"One less problem to deal with" he shrugged. I slowly looked up at him and I was hit with a sudden wave of anger; I wanted to kill Brad. He had hurt my sister and I wanted to make him pay!
"I'll kill you!" I snarled and I jumped at him; there was another scuffle however this time Brad was able to swing me around so I collided with the side of a desk. I cried out in pain and he used this as his opportunity to wrestle me to the ground. I felt my head collide with the floor as I wriggled underneath him.
"Oh this feels familiar" he teased as he tried to grab my wrists.
"Get off me!" I spat as I tried to push him away from me. However me and Brad ended up fighting for a few more minutes with us kicking and hitting each other before he managed to get hold of my wrists and pin them at either side of my head.
"Oh" he said happily as he brought his face close to mine.
"Look at what we have here" he teased as he quickly straddled me.
"Get off me!" I spat again as I continued to wriggle underneath him; however due his weight it was overwhelming me and due to my wedding dress I couldn't get him to budge an inch. My body continued to fill with panic and dread as I didn't know what was going to happen next; but I knew that it wasn't going to be very good.
"No" he said smugly before he crushed his lips against mine. My body froze for a few seconds before I tried to get my wrists free; instead he was able to throw my wrists together and hold them in his right hand. I then felt his hands slowly roam up my side and my body froze; I wanted to be physically sick. I felt his left hand capture my left breast and I bit down harshly on his lip. He quickly pulled away and grimaced at me before he pulled his hand from my chest before quickly striking my face. I cried out in pain again and I quickly turned my head to look at it and I snarled at him.
"Stop fighting back" he advised me as I tried to get my legs free from underneath him.
"I know you like it" he advised. I laughed darkly and spat at him and I watched as he froze above me; he quickly wiped his face with his free hand and I used this as my opportunity and I was able to get my hands free and I punched him in the face and chest.
"Oh" he laughed as he tried to grab my wrists again.
"You sassy bitch!" he chuckled. He went to force himself down on me again however I heard a thud and I then watched as Brad froze before he landed on me with a harshly.
"Hmph!" I puffed and I lay there for a few seconds wondering what he was doing. I then quickly shoved him off me and when I looked up my eyes widened at what I saw.
"Harry!" I exclaimed as I noted that he had a crowbar in his hand. I threw Brad a look and I noticed that he was bleeding from the back of his head. I looked back at Harry in shock and we both stared at each other blankly.
