Chapter 25: R.W. Revealed 

Emery's POV

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." The voice was difficult to identify. I couldn't tell if it was a man or woman. 

Is it Delilah? 

The answer to this question still hasn't reached my thought process yet, for the man/woman yanked my mane upwards, until my feet touched the ground.

I held my hair to prevent the burning in my scalp from the strands of hair being pulled out. Either this is a man, or this women is really buff. 

"Stop!" Farrah screamed at seeing this sight. 

"Don't you dare touch her," Mackenzie shouted as she stomped her feet down, hoping to free herself from the restraints. 

That's when we both noticed it. 

The bright red rope that was once tightened around her ankles, has now loosened from it's knot. 

I see it, she feels it. 

She stays quiet after that, contemplating her next plan of action. I knew she'd never betray this gang. 

Holding both my arms to my back, the unwanted psychopath says, "This is what's supposed to happen."

The sting from a sharp needle can be easily mistaken for a bee sting. 

A flash of red meets my eyes before my sight becomes wary. Black dots clouded by eyes one by one, it's painfully slow. 

"There you go, all better! Well for me anyways," the voice laughs at my almost unconscious state.

No..no...no....no....no....NO!

It can't be! 

R.W. is right here, kidnapping me!

Raiden! 

Help...Mackenzie, Farrah...and Jonah!

Help me.

The last black dot has engulfed my entire eye sight as I fell into the dream world. 

The dream world that contains my brother. 

~*~**~*~**~*~

Who is R.W? 

Is it Delilah? Was she the same person that took me here? 

Is Delilah some sort of ally to R.W? 

But why?

Wearing all black can confuse a person, for sure. Is it the same person under it? Or an entire gang behind this?

This whole thing has everything to do with Kenneth! That's the reason Farrah is here. Will R.W. plan on killing her, like how she's planning on killing me. 

It's no secret. 

My mind is full of questions that I have yet to have the answers to. Instead I think about R.W. plan that got me stuck in this situation. 

R.W. knew that a tape with Farrah's name on it, is worth of importance to look through straight away.

 R.W. knew Raiden would call everyone to the gates. 

R.W. knew that battle would break out from the secrets, lies or not. 

R.W. known that I would see the black cloak and follow, it's obvious to spot when you're not shooting elsewhere.

But the most important question here is, is R.W. someone I know? 

From what I hear, everyone's name, that I knew of, was heard over the speakers.

Unless...

"What the hell are you doing? Thinking?" The person in black questioned. Yeah...still trying to guess the gender here. 

"It's kind of impossible not to," My smart ass reply floated in thin air. 

"It is if you're brain dead." Was that a male chuckle, or a female? 

"What do you want?" My eyes have narrowed into slits. 

"Justice," the voice was too low for me to identify. 

"Ha, like you can provide that!" I chuckled...Have I gone insane yet?

"I want justice for the man you murdered," my laughter was swallowed. 

"Why? Kenneth was a psycho! He deserves nothing." A hand, with as much force as possible, stings my cheek. 

I've never been backhanded before.

"I'm gonna tell you a little story." 

"Oh joy," I rolled my eyes in the back of my head. 

"Would you like to know why you are here today?" 

"Because you kidnapped me?" I questioned sarcastically. 

"I mean how you got to be here today. What happened in history that got your parents killed, brother murdered, and you kidnapped?"

I don't know. 

"What could've possibly happened in this world that made your perfect little family into this living nightmare?" 

Stop! I don't know!

"You cannot believe that this is some kind of accident, do you?" Shut up!

"It's because of Kenneth! He did this!" I screamed. I loathe him.

"He did kidnap you, yes. But did he kill your parents and brother?" 

He's dead, he couldn't have.

"My parents death was an accident!"

"Was it?" R.W. dare questions me.

Which made me questioned everything I believe. 

"Do you want to know who started all of this?" This person questions. 

"You?" 

Instead of answering my question, R.W. says, "It all started the day Raiden's parents died." 

"Huh?" What?

"They're dead, they couldn't have caused my family's...misfortune!" Yes, let's go with that word. 

"Oh, you'll know soon enough my dear."

"Tell me now! Tell me why you're doing this! Is it because of his parents?" Please, I just need some answers.

I cannot live with lies anymore.

"How about I do you a big favor? To satisfy your curiosity," The cloak still hung of this character's head, not showing even a glimpse of skin. 

I grew suspicious...

That's when it happens...This character reaches in their cloak to reveal a little black box, probably to help modify their voice, as it drops to the floor. 

That's when the hood comes off. I blink one, twice, three times...NO! 

It can't be you! I won't believe it...It doesn't make sense. 

"No, no, no, no, no, no, NO! Please..It can't be you! It can't be a person like you!" I scream, yelled, shouted. I was disgusted. 

"It can't be you, Harley!" I'm crying now. 

No wonder I've never suspected you.

"Please dear, call me Ruth Wallingford." 

~*~**~*~**~*~

I was so excited to reveal this secret so much! 

Honestly this book was never supposed to be a mystery book. 

But R.W. made that happen.

You may all be confused but her backstory fits with everything. 

Let me help you out. 

Think of how Raiden's parents died. 

Until next chapter...

All the love,
