"Well well what do we have here?" He snickered, his hand going towards his back while all time he stared at Nora.
Her eyes widened when he pulled out a gun and raised it at her temple.
"How the hell did you get inside?" He growled taking a menacing step forward.
Nora all did but squeaked in fear, taking slow steps away from him.
"ANSWER!" He yelled.
She let out a cry in fear.
"M-my b-brothe--"
"ZACK! THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?!" Hunter's loud yell filled Nora with relief when he suddenly appeared out of nowhere and bonked Zack's head hard.
Zack winced and stepped away from him. He gave him a long look and then turned to look at Nora who flinched under his gaze.
A large smile brightened on his face.
"Oh? Ohhh! So she's your little sister." Zack's eyes twinkled and in the next second he was all over Nora, cooing at her and pinching her cheeks.
"Huh?" Nora just tilted her head slightly in confusion.
"Aww my honeybubu. You are so cuteee. I really can't believe that you can be related to him!" Zack blurted out but he wasn't prepared for another smack on his head.
"Give her some fucking space!"
Zack just giggled childishly.
"Already so protective over your baby sister."
Hunter's jaw clenched. He so badly wanted to punch the living lights out of Zack's face.
"H-h-hunter." Nora's voice caught his attention.
"What?" He raised his brow.
"She can speak too!" Zack clapped his hands.
"Y-y-you a-are h-h-hurt." She pointed at his side that was covered in blood.
Zack paused too and he seemed to find now that Hunter's side was bleeding but he didn't look as worried as Nora.
"Ah don't worry. Your brother is devil. This little blood doesn't even going to faze him." Zack gave her a tip-toped smile.
Hunter just threw him a another annoyed look.
"But I can say that the deal went wrong." Zack shook his head, his expressions turning serious like before.
Hunter just let out a grunt at this.
They had weird telepathic conversation with their eyes. Nora just stood at the distance, waiting patiently. That's when she noticed that the loud music that was vibrating the walls upstairs is no longer on.
Did they close the club? She thought confused.
It seemed like both of them hadn't notice it yet.
When their conversation was over, Hunter turned to look at Nora.
"We are going home." He said and started walking forward. Zack dramatically bowed his head letting Nora pass first before following them.
However, as they reached the end of stairs, Hunter paused. Zack abruptly grabbed Nora's wrist making her look up at him in fear and confusion.
"Hunter O'Crimson ehh?" A foreign voice resounded in the silence.
Nora tried to take a peek from Hunter's side. Her gut wrenched at the scene.
There was a man, a huge built man, his face decorated with several haunting scars, a chilling smirk was playing on his lips. He was sitting on a arm chair in the middle of hall where once people were dancing but now there was no sign of them.
Behind him stood almost 10 armed men, all of them were glaring or staring emotionlessly at Hunter.
Nora's eyes widened in horror when that man tilted his head, his eyes making contact with Nora for a second before Zack yanked her back.
"Well well well, what do we have here?" His voice held mild interest and amusement that made butterflies dance in her stomach in a very bad way.
"So your recently found little sister is here too...I thought all of those rumours were just fake." He chuckled dryly.
"You really look eager to die." This time it was Hunter who spoke. He sounded so calm and at the same time so chilling cold that Nora almost thought it was a different person talking.
Her stomach filled with dread when that man let out a small sneer.
"In our world, we value our family members the most. Your older brother William killed my brother, I came to you first for revenge. Same like what William say, an eye for eye. And, now to avenge my brother's death, I will kill you and that precious little sister of yours!"
Suddenly Zack stiffened. He turned back to look but something hit him hard across his face, hard and fast enough for his body to fell off from the stairs. He sputtered out few curses when he heard few cracks of his bones. His skull hit the ground hard and his vision disoriented.
At the same moment, Nora gasped loudly when she was pulled back with a arm wrapped around her throat in a chokehold.
"Now come here if you don't want your precious little sister hurt."
Nora noticed how Hunter's fist clenched before relaxing. His tense muscles loosened for some reason.
Two of the armed men approached him and they handcuffed his wrists. Nora screamed when she noticed knives in their hands and they stabbed Hunter's sides with it ruthlessly. He was dragged down and thrown near the man's feet. The man looked highly amused and he motioned to his guard restraining Nora.
She was also dragged down.
That man stood up from the chair and made his way towards Nora who was trembling at her place.
"Tsk such a pretty little one." She shivered when she felt his finger touch her cheek, caressing the skin.
She whimpered and shut her eyes wanting to disappear at this moment. But her eyes were suddenly snapped open when a hard slap was sent across her face and her weak body tumbled on the floor.
Hunter gritted his teeth.
"Do you feel this anger, Hunter? The rage!"
Another ruthless kick was sent straight to Nora's guts making her wheeze. With tears streaming down her eyes, she looked at Hunter. He was already staring straight at her.
"Pathetic!" That man snorted.
"You are a fucking pathetic bitch right here, Nicholas." Hunter stated too calmly despite the rage he was reeking of.
"You seem to forget you only had one brother-" The man now recognized as Nicholas raised his brow.
"What's that supposed to mean?!"
"Nora have seven brothers! Even if you kill me here, six more will come after you!" As he just finished, a series of gunshots resounded in the air. One by one Nicholas's men started falling down.
Few gunshots rang behind him and he looked back to see Zack now up on his feet and he had already taken care of the guards standing near the stairs.
"Son of a bitch!" Zack cursed.
"You really are fucking stupid. How the hell did you forget about me too?!" Zack sat down near the stairs slightly wincing but he was more pissed.
Nicholas pressed his foot on Nora's back so she won't escape his grip.
Now Nicholas looked closer, sure there were overwhelming presence of six figures. Hunter dragged his feet to stand up making it seven. The Seven Deadly brothers were here, seven of them were present at the same place- that was a rare sight.
He smirked. This was actually his plan to bring them all together so he could avenge his brother. Now he was going to die but take this whole Crimson family along with him too.
But poor him had no idea how wrong he was.
