Song: Imagine Dragons - Demons

I ran around the side of the house and peeked around the corner to see the other guy aiming down the path as he made his way to the backyard. I quietly ran across the grass and stopped at the corner of the mansion. Looking around, I saw the guy was mumbling something over his shoulders. I then realized that he had an earpiece.

"Echo, you there?" he spoke in a deep voice.

I mentally cursed as I realized that Echo was probably the guy I killed.

He started to walk to the other side of the house and I had to think quickly. I focused my powers getting ready to kill him but then realized it would make finding the rest of them a bit harder. Maybe if I 'turn' myself in, he would turn me in to the other guys who was inside the house.

I quickly focused my powers around his gun and manipulated the gravity around the front of the gun so if he does try to shot me, the bullet would just float for a second causing the pressure to weaken which would result in the bullet falling onto the ground.

As the guy almost made a turn around the corner, I slowly stepped out the corner and let out a sigh.

"Hello?" I spoke in a soft tone.

The guy swiftly turned around before aiming his gun at me. I quickly lifted up both my hands in the air as a sign of surrender.

"Boss, I found a girl in the backyard," he spoke as he kept his aim on me. A few silent seconds took over and I assumed he was listening to what was being said on the other side of the earpiece.

He then lifted his gun a little as if it was nodding. "Turn around. We're going inside the house," he ordered as he walked up to me. I placed my hands down and walked back down the side of the house before entering it.

"Living room," the guy ordered. I walked into the living room to see there was some guys walking around. As soon as I stepped into the room, their eyes shifted towards me. I felt a rush of fear overcome me. Quickly counting the guys, I found out there was only 5 of them in the room wish means two of them was somewhere else.

A guy walking into the room and I turned to see he had a black hoodie on. As I gazed upon his face, I couldn't help but feel as if I knew him.

"I found her in the backyard and there's no sign of Echo, Boss," the guy behind me spoke. I watched as his Boss walked around towards me with a smirk on his face which sent shivers down my spine.

"What a lovely surprise," his voice came out playful as he eyed me. My eyebrow rose, "Who are you?"

He let out a little chuckle, "Wow, it's been that long, huh?" he questioned.

I studied his face a bit more then my eyes widened. It was Ross. We were neighbors when I first moved into this town but then his parents just left but I thought he left too. Him and I never really had problems excepting when he would made snarky comments about me when I walked by him and his friend on the way to school.

"What are you doing here?" I asked a bit shocked to see him here especially in Victor's house. Speaking of Victor why isn't he here yet?

"I have unfinished business with Victor," he casually stated.

I opened my mouth getting ready to ask another question but he seemed to have known since he cut me off. "I don't have time to explain," he turned serious before looking at his guys.

"Dez is on the computer downloading all the bank information. Once he's done, we're out of here. Meanwhile, I'm going to check the safes upstairs. Feel free to do whatever you want to her then send her upstairs," he finished off before sending me a wicked smirk.

I watched in shock and fright as he turned on his heals and walked out the room. A few seconds of silence passed by and I looked at all the guys who was just eyeing me with lust.

"Yeah, that's not going to happen," I mumbled.

"What did this bitch just say?" one of then asked.

I let out a sigh and focused my powers. Manipulating air, I forced all five of them to aim their guns at each other. I watched as they tried to resist against the force but couldn't. "What's happening?!" one of the guys started to panic as I stepped out of the crossfire.

"You don't mess with Mother Nature bitch," I hissed before forcing all the guns to fire. The shots were silent and I thanked God they were using a silencer on their gun. I ran out the room and down the hall only to be tackled to the floor and dragged into some room before the door was slammed shut.

I went to get up but the person pinned me down to the floor. I couldn't see their face since they had me pinned face to the floor. I was then flipped around to see a guy who with a pissed of look on his face.

"I saw the camera footage. How did you do that?!" he growled. I kneed him in the crock causing him to clutch himself as he groan in pain. I quickly kicked him off me and went to stand up be he dragged me back towards him.

"Let go," I tried to kick him again but he grabbed my foot and within a quick blink, I saw his hand heading to my face. I felt a sting across my cheek. I let out a hiss as how it was a hard slap. I looked around the room and saw there was a bunch of decorative vase on the top shelf in the corner of the room.

Focusing my power, all the vase started to fly towards him hitting the guy's body before shattering to pieces. Using that as a distraction, I got out from underneath him and stood up. Looking around the room, on the Victor's desk was a combat knife which I'm guying was his.

Running over, I grabbed the knife and turned around only to see the guys standing on his two feet with some scratched here and there. I looked to the shelf that had no more vase. He reach behind his back and I got myself prepared to stop a bullet. He swiftly pulled out another combat knife and I eyed him to see he didn't have a gun on him at all.

"You really want to do this?" he questioned as he walked up towards me.

I felt myself starting to go into panic mode.

Freya, it's not time to panic. Come on, you're almost through this. Just two more.

The guy seemed to sense my panic attack coming on since his lips switched up into a smirk. I held the knife up and tried to focus my power but I couldn't stay focus. I could only think about how this isn't going to work. I will die and Ethan will be alone. I've just killed 5 people. Blood was basically splattered across the living room now that I remember when the shots went off. I think I'm going to be sick and also cry. It was now becoming overwhelming.

A hand grabbed me and I looked to see the guy had literally disarmed me from the knife. I watched as he went to stab me but I quickly bend his hand and took the knife from him before stabbing him in the check. He let out a painful groan as he placed his hand over mine trying to pry the knife out of his chest.

With a great force, he pulled it out his check and quickly tossed me across the room. I let out a painful scream as I slide across the broken glass that was from the vase. I slowly winced in pain as I stood up and stepped on some glass. I looked up to see the guy holding his chest trying to charge at me.

What does it take for this guy to die?

He walked towards me stumbling over his two feet clearly from blood lost. He then charged as me with the bloody knife he had pulled out from his chest. I used my boxing skills to push his hand away and grab the knife from his hand again. Instead of stabbing him in the chest again, I slide it across his neck. I watch as some of his blood splattered on me before he clutched his bloody neck and slowly fell to the floor.

I watched as a blood puddle formed under my feet. I slowly stepped against and felt a sharp pain under my feet causing me to wince in pain. I lifted up my foot to see there was a piece of shattered glass piercing through my foot. I slowly pulled it out and a tear slid down my cheek.

I threw the glass on the floor and quickly wiped my tear with the back of my hand since my hands were a bit blood. Cautiously walking around the glass, I made my way to the door and opened it with my left hand since my right hand the knife.

All I need to do was just find Ross but I honestly can't focus. I should probably just hide it out. I was still panicking a bit and the blood spattered across my white dress isn't really helping. My head soon started to spin and I felt as if I was going to faint any moment.

I limped down the hallway, I turned the corner and let out a heavy sigh. Walking into the lobby, I went to walk up the stares but froze when I saw Ross was standing at the top of the stairs with his eyes to his phone. His eyes then swiftly shifted down to me and his eyes widened before turning into a stare of a murderous face.

I turned on my heel and went to run but he quickly jumped down the stairs and tackled me to the floor causing to throw the knife across the floor. "What the fuck did you do?" he shouted in anger as he started to choke me with his hand.

I tried to push him off me or at least kick or loosen grip but he just pinned me down more and his grip became tighter. I felt myself becoming unconscious. I looked towards the knife only for my vision to deceive me by showing three of them. I reached for it but it was six feet away from me.

Trying to focus my powers, the knife started to slowly twirl but didn't move towards me. I felt myself slowly drifting off until a gunshot went off. I turned to see Ross's grip releasing my neck and looking down causing me to gasp for air. I looked down to see his black shirt was now being soaked with blood. Within seconds, he dropped next to me on the floor.

I slowly closed my eyes trying to regain my vision, breath and strength.

"Freya!" a voice shouted.

I hummed in response in a weak tone as I opened my eyes. I looked up to see Victor kneeling down next to me with a worried look and a sad expression. Leo, Chase, Kyle, Oscar, Richard and Alex were had their guns aimed around the room.

"They're all dead," I mumbled as I tried to sit up. Victor gently grabbed my hand and help me off the floor. "You kill all -"

"Yes, and I need a phone," I cut Kyle off.

They all reached inside their pocket for their phone but Victor was the first to give me him. I slowly took my hand away from Victor and dialed Ethan's number. As it rang, I walked through the lobby, past the kitchen and out the backyard. I could heard Victor and his guys silently trailing behind me.

"Hello?" Ethan spoke softly a bit scared. "You can come out now," I softly replied. I heard some shuffling before the line went dead.

I turned around and passed Victor back his phone. "Your office is destroyed," I mumbled in a weak tone. Victor went to say something but was cut off.

"FREYA!!" a voice shouted behind me. I turned around to see Ethan running towards me with his arms open wide. I held my hand out, "I'm covered in blood," I tried to stop him before he could hug me but it was to late.

"I don't care," he stated to sob and that's when I wrapped him in a hug. "Don't cry," my voice cracked. I bit the inside of my lip to stop myself from crying. I didn't want Ethan to see me as how weak I was.

We stayed like this before a few minutes before we pulled away. Ethan looked up at me and he frown as he saw there were cuts all across my body.

"I'm fine," I lied to him with a small smile. He slowly returned the smile.

I let out a sigh, "I need you to go home, wash up and got to sleep. I'll be home in a few. I have to take to Victor," I admitted. Knowing Victor, he would want me to explain everything and I will...except the power thing.

Ethan slowly nodded before hugging me again. "Please be safe," he mumbled. I hugged him back, "I will."

We released from the hug and I turned around to see Alex stepping forwards. "I can drop him if you want," he offered. I nodded my head, "Thank you," I spoke in a soft tone. He nodded his head and Ethan and him walked across the yard and back inside the house.

I turned to Victor who was just staring at me with the same expression from the lobby. "What took you so long?!" I shouted with my voice cracking. Victor let out a sigh, "I'm sorry. We were being chased and I know it gives no excuse and I'm sorry this happened."

"You can't just apologize and expect it to be better. I almost died. Where were you when I need you?!" I shouted out as I started to cry.

Victor quickly walked towards me and pulled me into his chest. I wrapped my arms around him as I continued to cry more. "I needed you," I sobbed into his chest.

"I know," he whispered as he rest his chin on top my head, "I know."

A few minutes past by and I eventually stopped crying. We pulled away and I frowned once I saw I had stained his clothes with blood and my tears. "I'm sorry about your clothes," I hiccuped from crying so much.

His hand gently lifted my chin up and a soft smile rose to his face as he wiped away my tears with his thumbs. "You never have to apologized for soaking my shirt," he replied.

I slowly nodded and looked around to see his guys were no longer there. I was a little confused as to how they could just silently disappear.

"They went to get the clean up crew," Victor informed me. I oh-ed in response.

Victor looked at me for a few silent seconds before talking again. "I know this may be hard but could you show me where the bodies are?" he asked holding out his hand for me.

Slowly lifting up my hand, I took his. Without saying a word, I slowly limped over to the side of the house where the guys Echo had died. Walking up to his body, I looked up to see Victor releasing my hand and examining the dead body that was laying on the grass.

"It looks like he was choked to death. How did you manage to choke a guy who 6'6 and weights over 200 pounds?" Victor ask as he looked at me. I shrugged, "He was slow and stupid," I mumbled.

Victor didn't say anything excepting to look back at the dead body. I then started to walk around the house with Victor trailing behind me. A light flashed in the distance of the driveway and I looked to see a car was driving up the driveway. Victor stood next to me and I slowly hide myself behind him.

"Don't worry. It's not someone dangerous," he reassured me but I stayed hidden behind him.

The car came to a halting stop before some doors opened then slammed shut.

"What are you guys doing here?" Victor growled and I could tell he was now further pissed off just like that.

"Her parents came home and shut down the party and we have nothing to do so here we are. Also, why are there so many cars in your driveway and why is your clothes covered in blood?" I heard a familiar. It was Cain.

Victor let out an annoyed groan, "Look, just go home. I don't have time for this shit," he ordered.

"Dude, come on. Would you just be cool for -"

Before Cain could finish his sentence, Victor's phone started to ring. He pulled it out his pocket and answered it.

"Yes?...Yes, she's right here," Victor stated. He turned around and handed me the phone with a small smile. I looked behind him to see Cain was now staring at me a bit shocked. Not only him but Hannah, Ashley and Alice was also there staring at me in shock as well.

I took the phone from Victor's hand and held it up to my ear before answering. "Hello?" I softly answered.

"Hey," Ethan replied.

"Are you okay? What's wrong?" I asked concerned.

I looked at Victor who was mouthing something to someone. I turned to see he was talking to Leo who was by the door. Leo nodded his head and disappeared inside the house.

"Nothing's wrong. I was just wondering if it was okay for Alex to stay over. If not it's -"

"Yes he could. Put him on please," I replied.

I heard some shuffling before Alex answered, "Hey."

"Hi. You're allowed to stay over. If you need clothes or anything just ask Ethan. He knows where everything is," I informed him.

"Alright, thank you," he thanked me.

"No problem," I responded before ending the call.

I passed Victor back his phone. "Alex is staying over for the night with Ethan," my voice came out a bit tired. Without a word, I turned on my heels and made my way inside the house only to stop in the lobby where Ross's dead body was laying.

"Come on," Victor's soft voice came behind me as he took my hand and led me into the living room. As we entered the living room, I saw Chase, Kyle, Oscar, and Richard standing around.

As I stepped forward, I felt something wet under my foot. Looking down, I saw I was standing in a puddle of blood. My insides started to turn upside down and I felt as if I was going to faint any second. Stepping back, I looked over to the dead bodies that were all laying in a puddle of blood along with chunks of their brain that was blown out.

"I counted 5 so far," Oscar spoke to Victor. I shook my head, "There was 8 of them. One of them is by the side of the house," I corrected him. "The other?" Victor questioned.

I turned on my heels and went to walk but stopped when I saw Cain, Hannah, Alice and Ashley were are in shock.

"Cain, I swear if you don't get your ass home, I'm going to beat the-"

"Just forget it," I mumbled as I walked past them and out the room.

I walked down the hall to the office and stepped aside so they could see the last body. They all started to look inside the room and I started to look at my arms and legs. In the light, I could see some of the glass was still piercing through me from when this guy had thrown me across the floor.

"Come," Victor's soft voice called. I looked up to see him walking down the hall. I followed him and everyone was trailing behind me. Victor opened the door to the kitchen and I walked in.

"Sit," he softly ordered pointing to the stool that was near the counter. I slowly walked over and sat down.

I looked around to the room to see everyone was scattered around and staring at me. I looked at Victor who was scanning my body.

The door opened again and Leo walked in with a duffle bag in his hand. He walked over to Victor and placed it on the counter before walking over to a table and taking a seat. Victor opened the bag and started to pull out a bunch of medical supplies. He then pulled out a tweezers and held his hand out for me to take.

I slowly lifted up my hand and he gently held it. With his free hand, he slowly and gently ran his hand up and down my arm. When he felt someone rough, he stopped to use the tweezers and pull out the glass that was stuck in my skin. This went on for quite a while. He searched my whole body. He then started to bandage up my foot that had the glass pierced through it.

Zoning out, I couldn't help but feel more tired. Part of my just wanted to lay my head on this counter and fall asleep not caring how my body nor my clothes was stained with blood.

"Sweetheart, I need you to stay awake for a few more minutes. After I finish wrapping your foot, we're going to go to my other house and you're going to shower, bandage up again and then you can sleep," Victor spoke in a soft tone.

I slowly shook my head, "Why can't I just go home, shower and sleep?" I groaned in tiredness.

"You've just face a traumatizing experience and I could see you wanted to faint a couple times. After tonight, you can go home. I promise," he mumbled as he cut the bandage and stood up.

He then cupped my face and I slowly blink causing him to chuckle a bit. "I would kiss you right now your covered in blood," I smiled.

I rolled my eyes, "That never stopped you from manhandling me," I commented.

A smirk rose to his face as he picked me up bridal style. "If you think I've manhandled you before, you've got something coming," he jokingly responded as he walked to the kitchen door.

Looking behind me, I saw Cain and his group was staring at us but Victor's guys were just on their phones minding their own business. The door then closed blocking them from seeing us anymore. I laid my head on Victor's shoulders as he walked through the house and out the door.
