a new flame



My body was flung across the room hitting the wall. I tried to get up but soon another kick was brought to my stomach. "You stupid bitch HOW DARE YOU LET HIM GO!" my tears were helpless. I looked up to Tony in horror and in the background, I could hear Jace as he was getting held down by chains. Forcing him to watch me as I got tortured. He wrapped his hands around my throat and he licked his lips smirking downwards at my trembling body. "GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER." Jace tried to get to me by thrashing around but his strength was nothing compared to the almighty chains. "I should just kill you now. It would save me a great deal of waiting." he pressed a hard-cold metal to my temple. I searched his eyes to find some sort of humanity among them.

But nothing.

"Tony let her go. I promised to not kill her until her six months were up." Boss ignored Tony as he scowled away and helped me up. Just as I was about to move my hand he tightened and pulled me into him. "If you ever fail a mission again I will not stop him from killing you or your friend." I nodded shakingly wanting to get me and Jace both out of this prison. My whole body was burning in pain and it didn't take much to guess that I had some broken ribs. Jace looked no better than me and nearly worse with his whole face covered in blood from the heavy blow Tony delivered to his nose.

I ran to Jace despite the pain and unlocked all of his chains letting his weight fall onto me. "I never want this mistake to happen again because next time I will not be so generous and I will let Tony kill both of you. You two have put my whole name in jeopardy because someone else was able to do the job you were unable." Boss threatened with venom. "I am sorry boss." My voice was weak from sleep deprivation and exhaustion. It made my whole body tremble in pain but I showed no weakness.

I only showed my strength.

"Good I am glad you are sorry my angel, because we wouldn't want anything to happen to your beautiful mother now would we?" He asked gleaming his eyes in amusement. I narrowed my eyes and turned my hands into tight fists. "now please leave my sight, It is currently very late in the evening and I am an old man who needs his sleep." I held Jace closer to me as we both limped out of the building. I put him into the van not caring it was the car what Jace stole. I was worried about him and for his safety. Tony went all out tonight as he tortured us for two hours. He made us both watch each other be tortured and I had to watch my best friend be nearly drowned.

I didn't know where I could take him but I just couldn't leave him there in that shit hole. Not while he was so vulnerable. "Hang in there Jace," I spoke quietly hardly been able to hold in my tears. Jace shouldn't have got hurt tonight it was my mess and my mistake. I was the one who let the target go but yet we both were tortured. "stop feeling guilty." He spoke weakly but his eyes were narrowed down with a strong frown. "I can't help it, Jace, you got hurt because of me." He sighed heavily and gave my hand a tight squeeze as he caressed my hand with his thumb. "you got hurt badly too Ange, just be thankful that something good happened tonight." I gave him a confused look as I looked back to him to see him smirking.

"We found Blaze." I smiled at him and grinned wildly. It was true that we now were one step closer. It proved in all of this that that Blaze was real and now we just have to find him again so I can kill him.

I led Jace into the safe house making sure to turn off all of the cameras and alarms before I let Jace in. We have never used the safe house before so I can hope for the best that no one will find him. "wow this place is neat." Jace looked at the house with his eyes bulging. My heart tugged for him I only wished I could give my best friend so much more.

"C'mon you can stay in my room." I quickly showed him around the safe place giving him all of the codes and keys he will need for each room. We also cleaned each other's wounds and I let him stitch the blade wound on my thigh. "Food gets delivered here so you will have food and water." He gave me a look of adoration and gratitude. "thanks Ange I will gladly abuse the perks of this luxury." He gleamed in excitement as he jumped on my sofa. "Speaking about Luxury don't you need to go back to your humble mansion." I sighed with defeat looking over at the sun which was now arising. Having no doubt that soon in an hour or two my father or brothers will wake me up. I gave Jace a guilty look and kissed his cheek looking at him with heartbreak. We might have cleaned up the blood but he still looks dreadful. "Please take care of yourself and use the aid kit for your injuries." I pleaded.

"Only if you take care of your shoulder and ribs, we both know you have broken some of them. So, you don't act so strong." I brushed his pink hair with my fingers and kissed him on his head before leaving.

I breathed in my inhaler as I drove home. As much as I hate to use it my lungs right now were under a lot of stress from all of the pain and exhaustion my body is going through. I parked the van a few miles from my home grimacing as I now had to walk the rest of the distance home. I just wanted to spend the whole day in bed and rest but I knew my family would never let me do that without a valid reason.

It wasn't even five minutes from when I climbed in my bed in a fresh change of pyjamas until someone in my family decided it would be a good idea to wake me up. "Moring princess." A big part of me would be ecstatic to be woken up by papa but all I wanted was sleep and to let my body rest. Only a groan left my lips as papa sat on my bed letting the bed dip. "Are you not excited to see your good old man?" He joked lightly brushing my hair out of my face. he chuckled loudly and kissed my cheek as I tried to hide my face in my pillow. "what if I told you that the really old man was here. would you wake up for him?" I shot up looking around the room frantically. My ribs would have probably killed me but I was way too excited to care. "el bisabuelo está aquí?" (great-grandpa is here?) He playfully rolled his eyes and shot me an amused glare. "yes, my princess you're really old grandfather is here. I will try brush away the non-excitement you have towards your own father." I ignored him and hopped out of my bed faster than lighting and sprinted down the stairs. "GRAMPS!" I squealed excitedly and my great grandpas big cold sealed expression turned instantly into a large grin. He opened his arms waiting for me and I wasted no time to engulf my grandpa in the biggest hug.

"I finally have my beautiful flower in my arms?" He sniffled sadly and I looked up to him to find tears among his eyes. "don't cry Gramps it makes you look older." I said brightly to lighten up the mood. He chuckled and muttered things under his breath before pulling me into his chest. "You're lucky you are my favourite little flower." My brothers all grumbled under their breath knowing they are no competition compared to me. I was gramps favourite and there was no doubt about it. "morning baby." Mamma kissed my cheek as she laid down a plate of waffles in front of me. "Morning mamma." I sat happily next to Gramps at the dining table as we all invested in our conversations. "Honey have you been sleeping ok you look exhausted," Mamma exclaimed worriedly checking my forehead for a temperature. Every then turned to me giving me a blank expression as they stared at me. "It's nothing I just have been gushing over school work." I waved their worries off and shoved a mouthful in so they couldn't ask me more questions. "well-baby I love how invested you are in school but it is starting to take a toll on you." She started to ramble across her words so gave her hand a tight squeeze. "It's ok mamma, I promise that I am ok."

But I wasn't and if Jace was here he would have scoffed at me. I had broken ribs and a roughly stitched up wound on my thigh. My shoulder was still throbbing and I was sure my lungs would soon explode.

But I was fine.

Mamma looked unconvinced and was just about to interject before Papa's phone rung. I sighed in relief as everyone's full attention turned to papa. "what?" Papas harsh tone startled all of us we were not expecting it. "well then find the son of a bitch who killed him and bring him to me! I want that fucking person dead." My mamma scowled at his language but brushed it off when papa hung up his phone. "what happened?" John asked calmly as we all waited to see what happened. "someone has murdered Wang's family's eldest son. Kai wang is dead." Papa stated abruptly pinching the bridge of his nose. My heart hammered out of my chest and a part of me waited for them to yell at me. But my family would never suspect me doing anything so studious because to them I was their little princess. And after all, I didn't even kill him the stupid douche bag did.

Blaze

My father started discussing things with my brothers and gramps but all I could think about was that big douche bag hulk. He was infuriating if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be in this mess. If it wasn't for him I and my friend wouldn't have been tortured. Every single aspect of him angers me and it only creates this new flame inside of me. I have never wanted to kill someone so badly and I can't wait for his blood to taint my skin.
