Chapter 19
It's been a few weeks since we've seen Makayla... and she hasn't shown up anywhere, not at my home, or at my school. She hasn't seemed to harm my family or friends either. Maebelle thought, sitting in class, holding her blue purse close to her.
The girl let out a deep and worried breath that she hardly knew she was keeping in. Now, putting one arm on her desk and laying her head on her palm.
I really should stop focusing on something so negative, like her, and start focusing on class. Maebelle thought.
However, after about fifteen minutes of focusing on class, the blue eyed girl's thoughts drifted elsewhere.
...I can't believe I told Lloyd I liked him... and I really said "I liked him a lot," what a dork... She thought as her face slowly turned red. But knowing myself I would tell him eventually... and now knowing his childhood, he really had it rough... hmm... I mean I guess I can see how he thinks his younger self and I are similar... broadly we were both tormented. Pushed around. Kicked and hit. Yeah, I get it. The raven haired young woman thought.
Gah...! Wait...! I went back to my negative thinking again, didn't I? Maebelle thought with another sigh. The young woman shook her head a little.
"Miss Evans! Can you answer this, please?" Her college professor asked.
The dark haired young woman's face turned red once more. Oh gosh, huh?! "Um-"
~
"I'm so lucky I got that answer right..." the young woman whispered exiting her college, a giant sigh of relief leaving her chest. I haven't seen Tamara or Emma all day, did something happen? Maebelle thought. I hope not... "Hm, they could've just skipped class and gone shopping together... I hope that was the case..." the girl whispered.
"Anyways, I should go see Lloyd and tell him the news about Makayla... again." Maebelle mumbled. Seriously it's strange that she hasn't shown up... also scary... the blue eyed female thought, starting to walk off into the Poor District.
However... if Makayla had done something to Emma and Tamara... The dark haired girl squeezed the strap of her purse, not even wanting to think about it. Would that woman go that far just to get to me?- The girl was cut off from thought, noticing something.
"Huh...?" The young woman mumbled, an eyebrow raised a bit. That's... Lloyd...? Maebelle thought, noticing the whisper white haired male leaning against an alleyway wall checking his phone. That's weird he's usually at his apartment when I'm at classes...? Even when I'm done...? The blue eyed girl thought tilting her head to the side a little. "Hey, Llo-!" She got cut off, feeling something over her mouth. Her blue eyes widened. This is way too much deja vu! She thought, very worried.
Let's work on kicks and punches. The girl remembered. However, she didn't know where to kick, so she just went with wherever her gut told her to and the dark haired female ended up kicking in between the person's legs.
"OW! FUCK!" The man who covered Maebelle's mouth yelled.
The weight lessened! The young woman thought and immediately pushed him away with as much strength as she could muster and ran. However when she got to what seemed like 'Lloyd' she noticed it wasn't exactly him. It's a hologram?! Who has enough time to make stuff like this?! The blue eyed female thought irritated. She looked back, noticing the guy was about to come back for her (much more vexed). "Whatever! I need to go!" She whispered before running.
"HELP!" The girl started yelling, her arm feeling through her purse for something to distract the guy chasing her. I really need to buy pepper spray.
"HELP ME!" I need to lead him away from Lloyd's place too... damn...! Maebelle thought.
"HELP ME!" She yelled even louder, the guy still seemed to be following behind her.
The dark haired young woman had looped around one of the buildings however... oh no... There was a van blocking the way.
The long raven haired female was about to turn around, but that's when she noticed the man that had been following her was much closer to her than before. He grabbed her wrists, and another man came out of the van and grabbed her legs.
"LET GO OF ME!" Maebelle shouted, trying to push and kick at them again. She then noticed the man who had been chasing her had an 'O' on his left arm. Her blue eyes widened. Ah...! Then, before she knew it a woman was in front of her, forcing a pill down her throat and the blue eyed young woman ended up losing consciousness after a few minutes.
~
...Ah... Mae just got... abducted... oh my god... ah... I'm an idiot... I could've done something! The white haired male had seen pretty much all of what happened after he heard her yelling and his light green eyes went wide, and he was now internally yelling at himself.
She was screaming help me... help me... too... oh my god... I'm horrible. The male thought. What the fuck?!
I need to do something now...! But I have zero fucking clue on where they took her! The green eyed male thought, before he felt something annoyingly vibrate in his pants pocket multiple times.
Huh? Why is my phone whirring now of all times?!- Ah- wait a second- Lloyd froze. "...You would probably be a really good worker in an electrical shop, if you weren't a criminal..." He remembered he put something to track her onto her sleeve in case an incident like this happened, but that was on her high school uniform...
Did she perhaps... re-pin it to her college uniform's sleeve when he wasn't looking?
Smart girl.
~
"Alright, she should be waking up right about now." A feminine voice said and it was the first thing Maebelle Evans heard when she opened her blue eyes. She blinked a few times unsure of where the hell she was. Is this what you call a cult? The young woman thought, as there were multiple people looking at her, and they didn't look very nice.
She then looked down for a moment. I'm tied up to a chair?! Why am I tied up to a chair?! The young woman internally panicked.
"You may be wondering why you are tied up." A man with dark brown hair and red eyes had said, which the raven haired female quickly nodded 'yes' too.
"It seems you've been close with a 'certain criminal'." The male said with a smile, that didn't seem at all harmless.
Not this again... the dark haired girl thought. Why the heck is Lloyd so 'famous' with everyone? The blue eyed female just stared up at him, looking quite annoyed.
"Are you not going to admit it?" The man asked. Maebelle continued to give a blank stare for the next few minutes. "Tch, not talkin' huh?" He then tightly pulled Maebelle's dark hair, which caused her to wince. "How about this, Maebelle Evans, what if I told you... we wanted you as well." The man smirked.
Huh...? She went wide eyed. Who wants what now? "Don't get involved with them. Understand?" She was trying to get out of the ropes, and trying to get his hand off her hair (hence on the trying.)
"Y'know that's cute, but shaking won't work." The brown haired male said with a laugh, looking down at her.
"Tft." She spat on the male's face, and that's when he gripped her hair harder, and the young woman winced again.
"Y'know for being a rich girl, you're being very unladylike!" The brown haired male yelled, wiping the spit off of his face. "You should just be lucky I haven't killed your friends yet!"
Maebelle froze for a moment. "What...?" Her blue eyes went wide.
"Ah, now you speak up," the brown haired man said, letting go of her hair. "We have your friends Emma Heath and Tamara Reid, those are their names, correct?" The male asked. Just as the red eyed man mentioned their names two other men had placed them behind the brown haired male. Both girls seemed to be unconscious.
So the reason they weren't there today...? Oh my gosh... "So, you're threatening me now?!" Maebelle asked. "And what good would I even be?! I would be useless since I pretty much have no muscle-" she got cut off.
"Not exactly useless, since you are good with guns." He said which caused her to freeze.
Huh? How long have they actually been watching me...? The blue eyed female thought, very frightened. "W-Who are you people?! You're insane! How would you even know that about me?!" The young woman yelled, sweat creasing her forehead.
"Ah, right!" He laughed. "So sorry for no introductions. My code name is Bullseye! I'm the head here at this Organization." He smirked.
So I was right, this is Organization Onyx! Dammit I should've been more careful! The raven haired girl thought, glaring at the brown haired male.
"I wouldn't go glaring at me, little miss, we have you tied up, your passed out friends, and there are plenty of us who are well armed." The red eyed male said and the female forced her dark blue eyes downwards.
Damn him! The blue eyed young woman thought, biting the inside of her lip. She knew he was right, all she had left to do now was think of some way to get her and her friends out of here.
~
So if I was correct and Mae re-pinned the tracker to her college uniform, then this should be the place... Lloyd thought, showing up to what seemed like a completely normal building. Hm... no one looks to be around... so everyone is probably inside... oh god I hope Mae isn't dead. Why would they need Mae in the first place?
The whisper white haired male thought for a few moments before something came to mind. "Don't tell me..." the male whispered to himself with a sigh, rubbing the bridge of nose, annoyed. It's because people saw her with me... isn't it? How annoying they couldn't just get to me without attacking her. A glare started to show in his green eyes. "Alright... now, I'm pissed." He whispered.
The light green eyed male was looking for an opening inside the building, which there happened to be one at a nearby open window. The male quickly made it over and noted that it led on to an upper floor. If only I had enough money for a grappling hook, or rope. Lloyd thought with a roll of his eyes. But in all seriousness it looks within reach... I just need to jump high enough... he carefully jumped up and grabbed the window sill. "Mgh..." Shit! This is going to bite me back later! The young male thought, feeling his muscles start to strain. Whatever. Don't think about that now. He tried to pull himself up, to which he succeeded, and climbed over the window.
Ah geez I need to be extremely careful now... The white haired male thought rubbing his forehead. One wrong step and I'm screwed. All I have on me is a knife, they have multiple weapons. I'm just lucky no one is around me right this second...
Just as he thought that footsteps were heard from down the hall. Oh you've got to be fucking kidding me. The male gave an internal sigh, sweat creasing his forehead. Well there are multiple places to hide, I just need to hurry! Lloyd thought, before noticing a room across from him. Let's hope this room is empty...! The green eyed male gave another internal sigh before quietly opening the door and going into the room across from him and quietly closing the door.
~
How am I going to get out of this one? Mae thought. Hm... I'd need to get a sharp object in my hands to cut myself out, but then again my hands are in the back of me... well it'd be all luck I guess. The girl let out a small sigh, and looked around, no one seemed to be paying attention to her at the moment. Well sharp objects... that man said they were 'well armed' so there's bound to be a knife somewhere in this room.
When the female glanced around for a knife her blue eyes aimed at something on a desk at the right of her. The object looked sharp enough to cut her out. That definitely works!- the young woman cut herself off from thought, biting the inside of her lip.
But how to get over there is the issue. The raven haired young woman thought before closing her blue eyes and opening them again, tilting her head upwards with a sigh, now pondering over a way to get the blade and get out of the chair, that would be her first step. Then get her friends, then and get out of this hellhole.
This is such a pain. Why kidnap me of all people? If they have been watching me for who knows how long they should know I haven't used a gun seriously since... I don't know... ten years ago...? Yeah that's the last time my grandfather was alive. Mae was trying to think until something cut her off from thought.
The young woman then widened her blue eyes a little when she saw something in one of the rooms windows above her. That's...?! the dark haired female thought surprised.
That's...! The white haired male's green eyes widened when he saw who he had been looking for on the lower floor.
Lloyd?! The blue eyed female thought shocked, not expecting to see him.
Mae! This was probably the happiest she'd seen him, even if the male's face mask was on.
The male let out a sigh of relief realizing she had been mostly unharmed, then he put his pointer finger to his mask telling her to stay quiet.
The young woman looked around to see if anyone had been looking at her, noticing the young woman had been left unnoticed she looked back up at the whisper white haired male and nodded.
Lloyd had to think about how to get down there without anyone noticing. Mae was the only one who spotted him so far, but that was just luck.
She needs to distract them so I can get down- well as quiet as I can... the young male thought with a sigh. He looked back down at her from the window before pulling down his black mask which caused her to stare wide eyed in surprise. "Distract them!" The male mouthed.
The blue eyed girl blinked once and stared at him with a shrug, showing she didn't understand. "Something... them?" Was all the dark haired female got from that.
Damn it! The white haired male thought. "Dis-tract them!" He mouthed again but slower. The female made an 'O' shape with her mouth.
I need to make a distraction? I got it! She looked around to make sure no one was looking at her and when she was sure no one was eyeing her she nodded a little to show she understood. He gave her a smirk and a thumbs up before pulling up his face mask.
Okay... what could distract them. Mae thought, tilting her head back downwards. I mean I could... her dark blue eyes glanced to the right.
~
Hm... it seems Mae thought of a way to distract them. Lloyd thought before carefully opening the window of the room he was in.
The raven haired young woman had tried edging little by little in the chair before accidentally falling on her side, making a loud thud. Everyone's pairs of eyes turned towards her.
"Oh?" The head of the organization said before grabbing the knife on the desk, he pulled the chair she was tied in up straight and held the knife to her throat. "You really think getting out would've been that easy?! Ha!" He laughed. "Miss Maebelle Evans, you really need to be smarter than that!" The man yelled.
However Bullseye could see that she was... smiling a little? "Oh, I'm very smart." Mae replied, and before he could question or even think about what that meant...
The head of the organization got stabbed.
Right in the center of his back, and he dropped the knife.
"...Gah...!" The dark brown haired male made a choke-like noise as he spat out blood.
"Sorry I came a little late~ getting down here was hectic~" Lloyd said in a fake happy tone.
"No, you came right as scheduled, but please help me out, sitting tied up hurts." Mae said in a similar faked happy tone, the young woman also added a smile.
"You fucking brats!" The male codenamed Bullseye coughed out. "I'm going to kill you both!"
"Hm~ I'm not so sure about that~?" The whisper white haired male said before dragging his knife down his back.
"Why aren't my people coming to get you?!" The brown haired male asked.
"Because I already knocked them out cold or killed them myself~" Lloyd said.
Ah, he's almost dead... "W-Wait, Lloyd before you kill him!" The blue eyed female yelled. "Untie me."
"What?" The white haired male asked, a bit surprised.
"Please? He's almost dead anyways!" The raven haired girl yelled. The whisper white haired male sighed, putting his foot on the other male's back so he couldn't run away. Lloyd untied Mae, then she smirked and there was a glare in her blue eyes. The young woman stood up, then kneeled down.
Both male's noticed the glare. What the hell is happening...? Lloyd thought before he realized Mae pulled out a gun from the head of the organization's pocket.
The dark haired female then put it square in the middle of his eyes. "Not a smart place to put it." The young woman said.
"Y-You bitch...!-" The red eyed man was cut off by the young female.
"You're the one who said I was good with guns, right?" She said and smiled, but Mae's smile didn't seem innocent. Her eyes then turned darker. Her voice was threatening. "Your organization better not dare to come after me or him, or you'll know the consequences." The man nodded before his eyes closed and he had gone unconscious.
The glare then disappeared as Mae stood back up. "We need to go."
"Y-Yeah..." Lloyd said, still shocked by what he just saw.
"We need to grab my friends... Oh! And my bag too!" She said running off to get Emma, Tamara as well as her blue purse. It's insane how even after all of this the girls were still passed out. "Hey, can you drive? It'd be more convenient to drop them off at their houses if you could-" he stared at her blankly. "-I'm assuming that's a no..." Mae let out a small sigh. She also ended up finding her purse on one of the desks and after looking through it it seemed nothing was added or taken out of it, which gave the girl relief.
"Well I guess I'll carry one girl and you'll carry the other." The raven haired young woman said, starting to wrap Tamara's arm around her free shoulder, yet she struggled a little. He nodded and easily put Emma on his back. "H-Huh?!" Mae yelled, shocked.
"...What?" The white haired male asked, looking at her blankly again. "Compared to what I normally have to do, this is pretty much nothing."
''Normally have to do...?!" The blue eyed young woman thought before shaking her head. Whatever we need to go before they wake up.
"A-Alright...? Let's just go. They'll probably wake up soon...!" Mae told him.
~
"So, how did you find me anyways?" The raven haired female asked the white haired male.
"Hm? The tracker I gave you. I didn't realize you re-pinned it onto your college uniform. I completely forgot about it until my phone started buzzing." Lloyd explained, which caused Mae to raise an eyebrow. "What?" He asked.
"I never re-pinned it, I actually completely forgot you pinned it too." The young woman told him. This made him stop completely but he was still able to hold on to the blonde young woman. Mae froze too, still holding on to Tamara however.
They both were silently in thought for a moment. Before both having the same thought. "You don't think...?" They both said in unison. Makayla had done it maybe? How would she even know about it? And why would she do it?
"However... now that I think about it... I didn't see Makayla at the Organization... and I was drugged by a woman when I was forced into the van, but I don't think it was her." Mae thought aloud, before they slowly continued walking.
"Yeah... Makayla doesn't drug others, she only uses knives and guns." It's sad that I know. The green eyed male thought. But there's also another thing I'm curious about. "Hey. When you told the head of the organization 'you're the one who said I was good with guns' and you also held the gun to his face. What was that about?" Lloyd asked.
"Oh... uh... well the whole reason why they kidnapped me is to see if I knew you..." Mae explained.
Of course he did... Lloyd thought with an annoyed inward sigh.
"But they also wanted me to join the organization..." The raven haired young woman explained. "Because... I'm not exactly... all...delicate...?" The blue eyed female tried to put it in simple terms.
"Huh?" The male stared at her blankly again.
