Kidnapped By Rogue
Chapter 39

"Rouge? What-what are you doing?" I ask as he takes a jacket from beside the door and wraps it around my shoulders. He unlocks the door and pushes it open. He then grabs my hand tightly and steps into the chilly air. I gasp at the sudden realization that I am outside. "Rouge?" I say quietly, afraid that if I talk to loud he'll realize what he's doing and pull me back inside. He finally turns to look at me. "Stay here. I'll be right back," he said sternly before entering the house again and easing the door closed. I glance around me- nothing but gravel and trees.

Run! a voice in my head yells, but my feet stay planted on the ground. I let out a shaky breath. Freaking run, idiot. I came to my senses and took three steps away from the door before I stopped again. This is a test, I told myself. He's testing me to see if he can trust

me or not.

I feel the time passing- two minutes, three, five, seven, twelve. My heart races as I take deep, steady breaths and weigh the pros and cons of running. Pro- I could get away. Con- it could be a trap. I could get lost. or I could get caught.

The door reopened, and I realized I had lost my chance to run anyway. "You stayed?" he said, shocked. I gave a small nod in which he smiled at. "You cold?" He took my elbow and walked me inside, shutting the door and relocking it. I didn't realize I was shivering until he removed the coat from around me.

"Why d-d-did you do that?" I asked, my teeth chattering loudly. "What if I would've r-r-run?"

He shrugged and walked me towards the kitchen where he helped me sit on the counter and then rummaged through the pantry. He pulled out a packet of instant cocoa and poured the contents into a mug before filling it with water then setting it in the microwave. "I would of let you go." A strangled laugh left my lips causing him to give me a funny look.

"Yeah right-t," I responded almost immediately. He once again shrugged and then the microwave beeped indicating the drink was done. He placed the steamy mug in my hands, and I used it to warm myself. "Thank you." "Blakely-" he started then stopped. I was about to respond when the kitchen door swung open. River staggered in before falling flat on his face and that's when I noticed the blood covering his upper body.

Rouge's point of view:

"Blakely, go get the guys!" I yelled at her after she'd let out a startled scream. She ran out the room a second later.

"River! River, talk to me! Hey," I repeated, flipping him over onto his back. I placed two fingers on his neck to check a pulse and then put my ear to his chest. "You can't be dead! You can't f*****g die!" I yelled at him. Airion and Riz were the first two guys to enter before the rest followed in pursuit. "What the f**k!" Riz blurted bending down.

"He just came in and then fell-" I choked back a sob, I wouldn't cry. "God dammit!" Suddenly the screeching of tires was heard from outside. I jumped up and ran to the door before throwing myself outside. A black car drove off as soon as they caught a glimpse of

me.

Airion was right behind me as I hopped in our car and started it. "Don't do this," he warned me, opening the passenger side. I shot him a glare before throwing the car in drive and flooring it. The door slammed shut as he stood there until I couldn't see him any longer.

I raced down the road and took a left just as they had done, but their car was nowhere to be seen. I kept speeding until I came to a fork in the road. "Shit-" I cursed hitting the steering wheel. I ran my hands through my hair and did an illegal turn before heading back to the house.

Shit, shit, shit! My head was reeling with anger as I pulled back up to the house and got out the car. I pulled open the front door and stomped into the kitchen- where all the guys still were. "They got away," I growled.

Ignoring my comment, Ace walked up to me gripping my shoulder. "I don't think he'll make it," he informed me. I shook my head. "He's been stabbed multiple times in the chest and stomach, and I found two gun wounds in his right leg- He's bleeding profusely." "No," I answered meekly. "Goddammit no!" I fell to my knees and placed his head in my lap. "Don't you dare give up, you son of a bitch. Don't you dare leave me! Not again." The last part came out a whisper. I could barely feel his ragged breathing and a faint smile crossed his lips before all movement dispersed. He's gone- Something in my head told me, but I refused to believe so.

"I'm sorry man," Ace said, barely touching my shoulder. "We'll get those stupid sons of a bitch." I gulped then stood up.

"Get the girls to clean this mess up," I whispered, walking away and thinking of ways to rip apart every person that played a part in hurting my brother.
