Hey, lovely people don't miss the author's note at the end, please. It's kinda important.

My eyes widened and my head whipped in the direction of the voice.

There she was peaking from the same window I had used, looking at us wide-eyed.

Oh god, I had never been scared to see Zoe before but now I was.

This stupid girl would get herself killed too.

I shook my head wildly at her. Jutting my chin at her to tell her to go away. She disappeared from the window but soon enough the door creaked. She entered and ran up to me.

'Wow, where did she get that crowbar from?'

"What are you doing get away from here, NOW," I whisper-yelled at her.

"What happened to you?" she whispered ignoring my question.

She let the crowbar down on the floor and started struggling with the ropes. She opened my waist rope and started on my left hand that was strapped to the back left leg of the chair, these were tighter than the one around my waist.

Maybe it's good, maybe we can get away before they come to know.

"Hurry up," I whispered at her.

That's when we heard them coming down.

"Leave right now!!" I hissed at her.

Her eyes widened at the approaching footsteps as well.

"I-I am not leaving you behind," she said and started hurrying up with the ropes on both my hands.

It was no use.

"Please, Zoe they will kill you as well just leave and go to the police. Please, Zoe, leave," I begged her and she got up at the idea of police, she ran for the door but it was too late the bastard saw her and yelled for his men to catch her.

She had her hand on the door handle when one of them caught her by the hair and yanked her back in. He slapped her straight across the face and her shriek stung in my ears. I struggled in vain, shouting at them to let her go.

He slapped her again. Made her sit on the floor. Her face was covered in tears and there was a handprint forming on her face.

My waist was not bound anymore, I was not completely helpless.

I got up with the chair in my hands, I was bent over because of the backrest. I went ahead and turned around, my back towards the man who had slapped Zoe and I sat down back on the chair making sure that the leg of the chair squished this goons feet. everyone was too stunned to react yet.

'Ahh Rose that will hurt don't think of that,' Dunkers muttered thinking of the plan that was forming in my head.

I firmly took hold of both the legs of the chair where my hands were tied and jumped on my back anyway.

"Ughhh," a groan escaped me as the chair broke under me and sure enough it hurt. 

'Man, this is more painful than the day I fought against that bitch in my dad's gang.'

It was supposed to be a fun match but I am ashamed to say that the next day I had not been able to walk straight.

They started coming towards me again so I pushed myself up and kicked the person who was the nearest. 

"Nooooo," I heard a very familiar voice.

"Rose what are you doing here," Ethan's hoarse voice shouted at me from across the room.

I got distracted by that and a man got me from behind. I rolled my eyes and bit him. Hard. So hard I tasted blood.

He shrieked just like Zoe had and tried to yank his hand back, but I was not gonna let go of his so easily, this was the one who had slapped Zoe and he was not getting away with that so easily.

I bit even harder and he yanked at his hand like a savage, leaving a taste of flesh and blood in my mouth. I spit it out.

And looked at my next target.

"Rose get out of here. NOW!!" Ethan yelled at me but I ignored him.

I made a dash across the room and picked up the crowbar that Zoe had brought in with her.

Handling it like sword I advanced on the six men who were intent on making this moment hell for me.

Seeing me advance in them with an expression that was probably deadly and angry, one of the men dashed and ran away screaming.

'Good five to go!' Dunkers smirked.

"Five it is," I muttered as I moved towards them like an arrow. They backed away a bit but I kept advancing and started using the rod-like a belt on the nearest one, our dad had made sure that both me and Nate were perfect in almost all the deadly arts. He groaned in pain and tried to stop the next blow with his hand but I think he just made it worse by breaking his middle finger. He yanked away from my crowbar with his other hand and threw it across the floor which landed with a screech near Zoe, she picked it up and held it in a way that was probably more dangerous for her than anyone else.

'Well some help is definitely better then no help,' Dunkers had a point.

'Oh man every part of my body hurts.' I could feel fatigue taking over me but this could be the only chance I might get to get out of here.

"I think we need help," Zoe said when her crowbar fell across the floor and in hands of one of these dogs.

"No shit sherlock."

That's when I heard a bike stop right outside the place.

'oh god please don't say more goons are here,' I thought to myself.

But when the door opened, there on the door stood a gaping Ash and a very irritated looking Nate.

Everyone looked at them in shock.

"You did that?" Ash said from the doorway looking smug and shocked at the same time, his eyes were at the man on the floor with blood oozing out of his head and another one who had faced the crowbar and others almost limping.

I rolled my eyes.

"You gonna just stand there or are you planning to make yourself useful," I said blocking the punch that was making the way towards me trying to take advantage of my distraction.

They moved and joined the fight too. Zoe moved on to Ethan and started opening his ropes. 

It felt like a momentary rest to have these two at my side but soon the fear of putting Ash in the middle of the danger took over the joy of seeing him.

Two more ran away limping, while they could. Both Ash and Nate were beating the crap out of the two guys and I looked wildly around for the top dog.

He came into my focus and I shrieked.

"Nooo," I pulled the gun out and unlocked it and pointed it at him. He had a gun pointed at Ash.

All the activities halted as everyone took in the scene.

"Drop that gun or I will shoot you!" I exclaimed.

"No," he barked.

"I told you, Rose, didn't I? That he would come to get you out, just like clichéd old movies, only my story didn't have a happy ending, I was not there to save my Tessa from the clutches of his father, I was not present when his men stormed my place and kidnaped my wife and my daughter. I didn't even get their bodies to have a funeral. To bury them. But I will bury him," he said sadistically. I was too shook to feel anything for this unknown man. all I knew was that he had a gun aimed at Ash.

"I will not let this boy leave, he will pay for what his father did," he seemed like he was on the verge of tears.

"Rose, Nate take Ethan and Zoe and leave. I will take care of this," Ash said sounding focused. His eyes were fixed on this man who had held Ethan captive for almost seven months. The man who was threatening to kill my boyfriend, the man I couldn't live without now.

"No, I am not leaving you alone," I gritted my teeth.

I noticed Nate creeping towards this sick man very slowly.

He saw him move too and moved his finger to the trigger.

I took my aim too. The bullets left our guns almost at the same time.

So I have news. My board's date sheet is out.

My papers will start on 24th Feb and will end on 14th March and sadly I have to study. This was the last second chapter of this story and the next one will be the last, I will update it and complete the story. I have the plot for the sequel ready but till my boards are over I can't promise regular updates I won't be able to write and study at the same time. I am sad but these are my final papers and preparation is too important at this point.

I hope you all will support this story and the next one too but I am going to be MIA for a while now and I am so so so SORRY.

I hope you enjoyed the chapter and all the support this story got is more important to me than I can put in words. THANK YOU for bearing with me.
