Chapter Thirty Six

The water flowed in front of her eyes, no matter how many times Isabell tried to remove the stain it didn't leave the dish. She never realized for how long the faucet was running until Lowren entered the Kitchen

"Bella" She didn't move "Isabell″ Lowren shook her from the shoulder and Isabell glitched back to the world "Oh, Mom" she looked at her mother and then at the still running tap and again her mother and after one more cycle she realized and closed it

"Are you okay, Bella?" Her mother asked "I- I am fine, Mom" She said while Lowren stayed silent glancing at her with worry "I really am fine, it's just- I told you, it's just because of my busy schedule- I just- zoned out" She faked a smile "Give it to me" Lowren took the plate from Isabell's hand "Go to your room and rest" She smiled again and broader this time

"No, no it's okay with me, Mom. You should take a rest" She took the dish back

"What have I done to deserve this caring daughter?" She asked, Isabell's smile disappeared. She washed her hands and without saying a word she threw her hands around her mother, in no time she was crying

"What happened, Bella?"

"Nothing, It's just that- I- I told you about staying in the university and I'll be working today and tomorrow or maybe a couple of more nights. And I will miss you a lot" she laughed nervously.

"You are going to make your mother cry, Bella" Isabell broke the hug finding her mom with tears in her eyes "Don- don't do that, Mom. It's no- not like I'm leaving forever" She was already sobbing again with her "I guess I can't spend a single day without my babies. Zavy said he had some work to do too and he won't be back as well" fake- fake work, fake excuses- fake schedule, fake notices, fake fake fake "Oh" was just her answer

"Maybe if you both have time then you can have dinner or breakfast together, you know it's good to eat with your siblings out a couple of times" her mother advised "O- I mean yeah, of course, why not, I and Zav- I mean we- we will do that" Isabell nodded her head up and down with her words "Best of luck with your studies" Lowren and let her go.

The moment they break apart a wave of dizziness overtook Lowren, causing her to stumble back slightly. She placed her hand on the counter for support. Concern flickered on Isabell's face as she rushed to her side "Hey, Mom, are you okay" She held her mother's arms "Yeah, I- I am okay, it's maybe- maybe something wrong with the blood pressure" she said standing straight again

"Did you take your medicine?" she asked, "I- I think I forgot" she laughed lightly "Mom! You always do this" Her voice went high almost as if she was frustrated at her mother for not taking care of herself

"Oh, Bella. I really am fine" She laughed again "Mom, Your health is not a joke," she said angrily

"Mom is okay, Bella"

"I'll give you your medicine right now" She took steps toward her mother's room

"I will, I will take them" she said crossing Isabell "You need to take care of yourself, I will take the medicine"

"You promise?"

"I promise," she said with a smile

"Okay. I'll be back soon, Mom" she smiled back

"Take care of yourself"

"Take care of yourself," she said to her mother and took her steps to her room.

The evening arises,

She was standing in front of her Mirror dressed in a brown hoodie. The star was calmly placed on her neck. She didn't seem to fear the gun anymore. It was in her hand and for one last time she checked for everything

Harness? "Done"

Gun? "Done"

Mask? "Done"

Page of code? "In my pocket, done"

Sending every recording and report to Se- Sebastian "Done"

I'm ready to go.

🧊🧊🧊

"Why the hell do you call me here?" Spy greeted Lethal, smashing the door behind "You will know the hell why we call you soon" he replied walking to him "I don't have the time to play with your freaking tricks, Lethal"

"You are going to have so much extra freaking time to play from now on" Lethal walked around Spy in the center of the empty building

"What do you mean by that?" he asked

"Are we talking now?" Lethal mocked a laughter

"Look who is here" Knight descended from the stairs beside whom was Liam striding with wobbly steps "It's my right hand!" Knight screamed, "Why did you call me?" Spy questioned

"You'll get to know soon," he said placing a hand on his shoulder. Their faces were raw, none of them covered with a mask

"I expected you to look pretty stronger than this" Liam smiled at Spy who was looking in confusion at him "I have heard so many things about you. Like all the power you hold, the enormous amount of orders you bring, and some more like that" Liam's expression never changed, he was still beaming

"Who the fuck are you?" Spy asked

"A well-known and a little crazy handsome man would be my introduction, Fuming guy," he said tip-topping on his feet around Spy

"Let me introduce him to you" Lethal joined the conversation "This is Venom- oh why am I telling you the code name? You are one of us, right?" he laughed exchanging a glare with Knight "Yes of course you still are" he replied himself "This is Liam Marcus, Dr. Marcus from- Death of Devil" his own tough was halted when he said the name and Spy was left stunned.

"What did you just say? Dea- the death of Devil?" He gasped for the air

"Oops, oops, oops. Looks like nobody's happy with me being here" Liam purposely bumped his shoulder into Spy,

"Why are you here?" Spy asked directly to him

"Well partially because- of you, Fuming guy" Liam blinked his eyes at him

"What?" His face turned to Knight who was already burning up

"Because of your fucking recklessness, You damn Spy. Because of the fucks up you have been doing, my Throne of Demon is hanging at the edge of a cliff" Knight roared. Spy looked at all of them, he was still puzzled

"Your identity," Liam said with a smile and a string of shock grabbed Spy again

"How do- how do you know?"

"Well I was busy removing a kidney- from a teenager- who failed to pay us back and then a guard came to me saying that the King wants to see me- the King sent me here- to basically deliver a letter- and nonbasically to do a couple of operations- and have fun with you guys for some days" Liam explained, Spy was unable to speak. Lethal laughed

"Why did you never tell us about this before," Lethal asked "Did I not" he looked at Knight and then he grinned "Well I must have forgotten- King gave me a list and ordered me to perform a couple of operations in here too" Lethal laughed a burst of wild laughter and then he stared at Knight

"That means I can cut as many as I want?" He asked excitedly and Knight didn't reply "Well I won't allow you in my operation room," Liam said "Well I am good with knives" Lethal shrugged his shoulders

"Have heard of that"

"So can I?" his voice was pleading

"Maybe we can make a deal"

Spy watched all of them in silence, his expression turned horrified, and then his hand clenched over the collar of Knight "Are you crazy?" He asked staring into his eyes

"Don't you already know?" Knight cracked at his face

"No! no! For God Sake, Knight! Stop. Stop it!" He cried,

"Damnit, Spy! You're freaking chicken" Lethal injected "No! You all are crazy" his grip loosened and then his hand dropped "You are- you are going to sell hu- human Organs?" his voice vibrated

"Fucking Yes, Spy!" Knight shouted

"Stop! Stop with this nonsense, You monsters" he screamed

"Well that was the cutest name someone ever gave me" Liam cut in

"Who the fuck is talking to you, Psychopath" he inhaled in anger "No this one is the cutest" Liam smiled, all of his teeth were peeking from his mouth

"Knight, if you won't stop, I'm going to report you. You know- you know one call will all it take to swipe everything clean" Knight smirked and then laughed, his laughter echoed in the air

"Report me? You must be forgetting something" his hand clenched over Spy's jaws, and he yanked his face "I got something for you"

Spy's feet got frozen at their place. He wasn't breathing nor was his heart beating. He looked around, his eyes darting every corner of the building

"Display!"

Knight yelled with a clap and in a second Giant appeared from a corner of the building, holding a girl with Auburn hair. Spy's angry eyes started to get soft and fear filled his face. His lips separated, he gasped for air

"A-Arine" he said her name painfully. Arine looked pale and almost unconscious. Giant was grabbing her with arms while she barely managed to stay on her feet, everywhere his eyes could see were bruises, his head bleeding, the cuts on her thighs were getting black

"Jade" Arine called, her voice was slow, barely reaching his ear. Without thinking about anything Jade ran towards her

"Stop or I will shoot you" he stopped upon hearing Knight. Spy slowly turned around, his eyes stretched wider finding a gun pointed at him "Yo- you won't—" his words were cut by a laughter

"The hell I will"

"Fuck! I'm loving this!" Liam wailed, his face glued to the same smile from the first second he appeared.

"I swear there are so many thrilling things you will be experiencing from now on," Lethal said walking right in front of Jade "Oh hell, I want all of them" Liam jumped on his feet.

Jade never looked at Lethal standing before his eyes but his gazes were looking behind him, his eyes widened, jaw tensed when he saw Arine shivering uncontrollably, her head on the floor, her entire body jerking and no oxygen seemed to pass in.

"ARINE!" Jade yelled he tried to run but a sharp edgy knife from Lethal's hand stopped him

"GET THE WAY HELL OUT OF MY WAY, LETHAL" he roared "We can find a way together to there, Babe" Lethal smirked, his words never stopped Jade.

He pushed Lethal aside with all of the force he had to trip over his legs. Jade ignored all the curses came from Lethal and ran to Arine,

"Take one step more and I will kill your little doll" The gun was now aimed toward Arine and Jade halted his steps upon the words of Knight

"Damn!" Liam hopped in once again "You playing Romeo Juliet?" He asked in his excited voice and got ignored once again

"Xavier" Jade called "Don't act like a fool. You are going to regret it later" His eyes spitted anger at him "I don't do regrets" he laughed mocking laughter

"Don't forget" Jade drew a deep breath "Throne Of Demon still exists because of my connections, no one can take it down because of all of my fucking connections" Knight stood a step away, facing him

"So bold of you to take all the credit, Mr. Hilton" Jade couldn't hear his words, right at the moment all he could see was Arine lying on the ground and having seizures, Jade took a step further and Knight smashed a punch over his abdomen, his body trembled from the attack

"Xa- Xavier plea- please' he coughed in pain "Please let me- let me see her for a minute then- then you can do whatever you want with me" he bent down, his hands supporting the entire body at knee

"No-no-no, Spy. I wouldn't do that" his lips turned into a pout. Jade stood straight, his legs still stumbling and he removed his jacket with shaking hands "At least- at least you- you can place it under her neck- it will- it'll help her" Jade threw it towards Giant. His puffy eyes looked at Arine and then at Giant. "Please, Giant" he requested. Giant looked at Knight and he nodded a no to him

"Oh, like this, Spy?" Giant laughed, tearing his jacket into two and throwing each in the opposite direction and all of them laughed at him

Jade closed his eyes, his hands dug into the gold hair, pulling them hard, his lips stayed parted as if he wanted to say something but couldn't find words that would fit the situation.

Arine looked cold and unconscious. Jade couldn't see her breathing "Tell- tell me what do you need? I'll give you everything, everything" Jade said,

"You are playing smart, Jade" Knight burst on his words while Lethal stepped closer to them passing a knife to Jade

"Kill Yourself," he said, Jade stared at the Lethal and then at his friend who was still laughing

"What?" he said

"I can't even count all the damn freaking rules you have broken, Hellish Spy" The grin on his face disappeared

"Can I help?" Liam moved ahead, his hand was pointing at the dagger "You can consider it as a demo as well" he offered

"I would appreciate it if you stay out of it," Knight said, Liam nodded, smiled at him and as his feet moved backward his smile kept on spreading over the face.

Jade was still staring at the knife and unconscious Arine

"You made her like this" Lethal said to Jade "You got that freaking traitor involved and if it wasn't for her brother she would have been alright, Spy" Lethal's face saddened

"What the hell are you talking about?" Jade screamed

"You know what the hell am I talking about. You brought freaking Max here and the hell! We had to go after his sister" Jade's lips sealed

"You acted rebellious. You disclose your identity and tried to take this chick out of the club" Lethal injected "And you are the reason why she is about to die" Knight finished his words

Jade's hand moved towards the offered knife by Lethal. His fingers clenched on the handle of it.

"You killed that girl too" Lethal's words made his grip tighter turning his nails white "You did this same thing with the girl last year and we had to kill that rich ass kid" The tip of the blade got on Jade's neck, a drop of blood moved down from the it "You deserve to die!" Lethal yelled. Jade couldn't see anything, his eyes, his ears, and even his lungs weren't working. All he could think of was two girls who looked the same and because of him, they would have the same deadly end.

He pressured the blade harder, the knife tore through his skin hoping to find a point that could end everything, no empathy made it to their hearts as everyone around him laughed. Blood was pouring from the cut as it got deeper and deeper, his hands started to shiver from the pain

"JADE, STOP!"

his hands stopped on the shout and in an instant, they dropped the knife. Jade looked up but this voice didn't belong to any of them standing in front of him.

Jade's eyes moved to the left, not believing what they were seeing. From the back of the wall, a girl appeared, her face covered with a hoodie cap. Half of them seemed to recognize her. Hush fell around the building

"I thought your club was safe, Knight. But how are girls bragging out of the blue in here" Liam was the one to break the silence but no one ever replied to him "Wait! Is there more of a dramatic drama? Oh, Hell! I love drama" he said

"Who the hell are you?" Giant asked moving towards her, not Knight neither Lethal moved an inch, and their horrified faces were visible. Giant looked at the both of them

"Why the hell are you not doing anything, Knight?" Giant asked in confusion "What the heck happened to your spiky tongue Lethal?" the two of them didn't respond. Giant kept standing, staring at them still

"Guess you will have to do it yourself, Fat guy," Liam said and all of them moved, looking at him. Giant looked at Knight for an order but all he could see was his terrified face and then he moved his hands to his pocket

"Fine" Giant took a gun out "I will kill her myself" He loaded the gun and pointed it at Isabell

"DON'T FIRE"

"DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE TO SHOOT"

Knight and Lethal shout at the same moment

"What the fuck?" Giant left puzzled "Drama Drama Drama" Liam chanted in the background

"What are you doing here?" Jade asked, his breath was shallow and blood was still dripping from his neck. She didn't reply to him

"Why are you here, Izzy?" He asked again

"Yo- you- don't deserve to die Jade" she said silently "You tried to save Emily, you tried to save Arine. You- you don't deserve to die" Everyone was left stunned by her words "W- what what are you- you saying" Jade trembled over his steps "It's not your fault—"

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TWO DOING?" Giant roared at Knight and Lethal "WHY THE HELL ARE YOU LET HER SPEAK, KILL HER!" His shouts echo the entire empty building but never make them move for a reply

Knight turned his feet towards the stairs, he took a terrified step forward and then he retreated on a voice

"Stop right there or I'll kill you, Xavier Harrington" Isabell Harrington yelled as she pointed the barrel in his direction. Xavier turned around to find a gun held towards him, his hands went in the air, surrendering

"Drop the gun, you don't know how to play with it, Izzy" Lethal said, his voice sounded slow and intense. Isabell ignored him as if he never existed in there

"Drop it, Izzy" The voice felt like Xavier's to Isabell

Holding a gun was supposed to make her strong, but Isabell's hands were shaking, pain tearing every muscle, crashing every bone of her body. And then

She felt a piece of metal in the back of her chest

"GIANT! STOP" Steve yelled

"I don't know why the hell are you saving this girl when she is going to kill the Knight any moment" he replied.

Isabell closed her eyes,

I'll kill you before I die.

Her finger was placed at the trigger but one finger was too weak to hold it, her other hand moved towards her gun. They gripped the gun harder

Isabell breath in one time

And then for another time

She shot

Isabell shot Xavier

She fired

One

But

Her ears heard two shots from two guns.

The twins fell to the floor

Everything stopped for some moments and a wave of shouts covered the silence

"IZZY!" Two people shouted

"KNIGHT!" Two people shouted

"Save the Knight!" Giant screamed to the Lethal who was running towards bleeding Isabell,

"CAPTURE THIS BITCH!"
