Chapter Twenty Seven
Cyrus
I’m not fucking stupid, I knew Drew was fooling with me but I went along with her little game to see what she’s up to. I have a feeling that she’s trying to get rid of me so she can sneak away to The Black Ring. After I’m waiting outside for an hour, I begin to think that maybe I was wrong, but then I see a taxi pull up and I just know what she’s up to. I get out my phone and call Prez.
“Hello?” He answers on the first dial.
“Prez, Drew’s sneaking out and I think she’s going to the Black Ring.” I quickly spit, watching Drew as she gets into the taxi, but just then, something catches my eye. A man in the shadows, watching Drew.
“Well then stop her!” Prez shouts.
“I’ve got company.” I growl. “He’s got a vest on.”
“Shit.” Prez snaps. “Follow him, I know where the fight is tonight and I’m sending men over there to grab her fucking arse.”
I quickly hang up, and run over to the man who spots me. Shitting himself he gets on his bike and speeds away before I can fucking make it over to him. He laughs as he speeds away but I let it go and jump on my own bike, trying to catch up to the fucker. I lose sight of Drew’s taxi and it doesn’t sit right with me. I would much rather be following her. Why is Drew doing this? I thought she fucking understood the situation and was going to go along with the curfew.
Drew
I bump into Suzy pretty much as soon as I walk into the run down warehouse. She wraps her arms around me and squeals her excitement, which makes me break out in goose bumps because I’m so fucking ready to do this.
We hold hands as we dance towards the bar. The music is pumping in preparation for the fight and it just adds to my anticipation.
“Oh!” Suzy’s eyes widen after she takes a sip from her drink. “The men you’ve been wanting to meet, erm?” She taps her lips as she thinks. “Devil Chasers, they will be here tonight.”
I could fucking jump up and down in happiness at hearing that, but I manage to keep my feelings wrapped inside. I can’t have Suzy knowing my real reasons as to why I want to meet the MC.
“Really?” I ask and Suzy nods.
“They have a fight scheduled tonight, and whenever one of their own is fighting, others come to support them.” She answers as she begins to sway her hips to the beat.
I join Suzy as she gravitates to the dance floor, dancing together without a care in the world. I’m in such a good mood now that I know the Devil Chasers will be in the building. As I dance, a thought pops into my mind and it almost knocks me on my ass. I could call my dad, and tell him that I know where some of the Chasers will be, but he would kill me for being here and nobody would let me have my revenge and that’s what this is about. I want to be the one to kill every single one of those fuckers. However, I feel bad for the club because they’re working hard trying to find the Devil Chasers and they’re coming here. However, I don’t have that much time to dwell because a man approaches Suzy from behind and whispers in her ear. As he walks away, Suzy looks up to me with a smirk.
“It seems the Chasers have entered the building.” She giggles, holding her hand out to me. “Come on, let me introduce you.”
As Suzy leads, her hand holding onto mine, I begin to get impatient. I want to see those fuckers’ faces.
“Now, I have to warn you.” Suzy whispers. “These men can be very short tempered, so be careful.”
“No need to warn me.” I smile. I’m used to short tempered men.
Suzy nods and we continue to approach the bar. That’s when I see around ten men in their club leathers, they’re all drinking and seem to be in good spirits. Their voices can be heard above the music as we get closer to them.
“Suzy.” One of them sneers.
“Grubby.” Suzy greets him and when I take a look at the man I see that his club name really does describe him well. Grubby by name. Grubby by nature.
“You gonna give in yet?” Grubby asks, eyeing Suzy like a piece of meat.
“Not until I’m dead.” Suzy snaps.
“Careful sweetheart that can be arranged.” Grubby growls and another Chaser arrives beside him.
“Remember what her brother said Grub.” He smirks.
“Yeah, yeah.” Grubby slaps his club pal on the shoulder and walks away.
“Thank fuck for that.” I sigh and the man laughs as Suzy smiles awkwardly.
“And who are you?” Grubby’s friend asks, looking at me.
“This is Drew.” Suzy answers for me. “Drew, this is Hammer.”
“Hammer?” I ask. Obviously I know that club names mean something to a member and Hammer’s has got my interest peaked.
Hammer smirks. “Let’s just say I punch like one and fuck like one.”
My eyebrows rise, but instead of being judgemental I smile and flutter my eyelashes a little. I do want to hear what these bastards have to say and if I’m going to earn some of their trust, the best way is to flirt.
“Really?” I ask.
Hammer nods. “You wanna drink.”
“If you’re offering.” I laugh and I follow him to the bar, leaving Suzy with her new dancing partner. Not Grubby thank goodness. I want her as far away from the Devil Chasers as possible.
Hammer takes me straight to the bar and I let the bartender know what I want and Hammer pays. I put on my best flirt game, smiling and giggling as well as all the rest. Hammer introduces me to his friends and I feel as though my plan is right on track. The drinks continue to flow and one of the men, Burner asks me to dance. If it wasn’t for my plan of action, I would have said no but if I want this to go ahead, I have to say yes. Burner looks like he means business. He’s huge and is covered in tattoos from head to toe. I know my bikers and this fucker looks like the fucking VP.
“Yes.” I answer sweetly, smiling up at him and following Burner to the dance area. The way he looks at me as we dance, tells me that he wants me and I’m going to let him continue thinking that he can. I place my hand on his chest, keeping eye contact and smile. I even bite down on my bottom lip and swipe my tongue along it for an added effect and Burner is eating it all up. The whole time I wiggle my body to the beat, the blade hidden under my skirt rubs against my thigh, begging to be used. I turn and shake my booty, feeling his erection and I quickly spin back to face him, letting him know I want another drink. Burner secures his arm around my waist as we walk back to the bar, and I know what he’s doing, Burner is staking his claim. I’m not going to lie, it’s making me feel on edge because I don’t want to get in a sticky situation. I want to go through with my plan.
I look around at all of them, the fight is going to be starting soon and they’re all bragging about their fighter. I put a straw into my glass, letting my tongue lick along the plastic and sucking greedily. I know I have their attention before I even look up. I fake embarrassment and giggle as they all stare.
“So Drew.” Burner adds. “You must love a bit of violence, otherwise you wouldn’t be here.”
“Of course I do.” Patting his chest I send Burner a wink.
“Oh I can tell.” Hammer grins.
A man I have found out is called, Eagle steps closer. “You like MCs?”
“Is that a trick question?” I laugh and the rest of them join in.
Burner wraps an arm around my shoulder, tucking me in close to his side. “You’re coming to the after party then.”
“Mind the mess of the place.” Grubby laughs. “We’re stuck with a shithole while we’re hiding from another club.”
My heart pumps a little faster. “Oh?” I ask. “Have you boys been naughty?”
And just like that, with no other words from me the men begin to brag about everything they have been up to lately. Including the war they’re having with the Kings of Rebellion and I have to be careful not to show my anger as they laugh and joke about the men I call my family.
“We even killed a high profile of theirs.” Hammer boasts and my heart begins to pump faster and my head starts to swirl. They all laugh and I feel sick. I want to reach into my boot and snatch the blade that’s hidden there and slash all these fuckers’ throats. “We have a few more tricks up our sleeves.”
“Wow.” I bite down on my tongue so I don’t say anything else. So they’re not suspicious, I softly trail my finger along Burner’s muscled arm and look up at him through his eyelashes. “I can’t believe you all killed a guy.”
“Oh, not all of us.” Hammer chuckles. “That guy right there is the one who pulled the trigger.”
Hammer’s finger is aiming straight at Burner. I take in a big and calming breath so I don’t attack Burner. It’s as if the knife under my skirt is vibrating and I place my hand on my thigh, feeling the outline of the blade and it calms me. I smile at Burner and then bite down on my bottom lip as if the thought of him killing Sketch turns me on.
“I can’t take all the credit.” Burner grumbles. “We have a few visitors that helped.”
I’m about to ask who these visitors are, but Burner shuts me up before I can even say anything by dragging me to the dance floor. This time, Burner holds me very tightly and his hands squeeze places that I don’t want him touching. I try to step back and create some space but Burner just pulls me in harder. I look around desperately but all I see is the other Chasers dancing with other women and they’re all surrounding me. It’s beginning to feel a little stupid of me, but I’m here now and I have to see this through.
After our dancing, and the rest of the girls and I are invited back to their secret and temporary clubhouse. I know I shouldn’t, but I say yes because I told myself that even if I get killed in the process, I need to get my revenge on the men who took my Sketch from me. So I have my final drink at the bar, sandwiched between Burner and Hammer. When we’re ready, I leave with them and I notice that the two men still keep me very close. I’m not sure if I should be alarmed or not, it could just be their over protectiveness that the MC men tend to have. Burner places his arm across my shoulders and pulls me in tighter. We walk towards their bikes and I breathe in the fresh air, the music beginning to quieten as we walk further away from the building. Burner gets his phone out and places it to his ear, quietly talking to whoever is on the other end.
“Are you ready princess?” Burner whispers into my ear and then looks over at a speeding van coming our way. “Your chariot.” Burner nods towards it as it stops in front of us in a hurry.
Dread starts to settle in. “We’re not going on your bike?”
Burner laughs. “Did you really think you could fool us?”
“We can see a Kings bitch from anywhere.” Hammer chuckles.
Burner pulls me into his chest, smirking. “Especially a Kings Princess.”
I begin to struggle in his arms, trying to wiggle my way out of Burners grip but this just makes him laugh even more.
“Let me go!” I growl, kicking and scratching at him.
“Calm down.” Burner rolls his eyes. “We just wanna have a bit of fun.”
He then slings me over his shoulder and I scream for him to get me down but Hammer approaches and slaps my arse. “Keep quiet bitch.”
I pinch and scratch Burners neck and I hear him wince which spurs me on. I pull his short hair and even attempt to bite down on his shoulders but he carries on carrying me towards the van. I’m screaming and everyone around us doesn’t give a single fuck. When you’re in this place, you don’t get into each other’s shit. You pretend you didn’t see shit and have a fun night. I know none of these people will help me here and I don’t know where the fuck Suzy is. The door to the van opens and panic is well and truly settling in.
“Put her down Burner!” Relief fills me at the sound of Cyrus’ voice. He has his gun aimed at the Chasers who all surround me. There’s no way out for me. My perfect plan has gone to shit and now I’m in danger, Cyrus too by the looks of things.
“This your boyfriend?” Burner asks me and I tell him to go and fuck himself, which makes him laugh. “Got yourself a feisty one here Cyrus!”
Hammer then points a gun right at my head. “All of you put your guns away or I will shoot your little princess in the skull!”
I awkwardly turn my head to see my brothers with other members pointing their guns our way. My eyes zone in on Cyrus, his deadly glare focusing on Burner and I feel so stupid for putting everyone through this. I let my own personal reasons for revenge get myself and now my family in danger.
“I fucking mean it!” Hammer shouts and I see the pain in Grim’s eyes as he lowers his gun. He nods to the others, ordering them to do the same however, Cyrus doesn’t. His gun stays aimed at Burner.
“Cyrus.” Warns Grim and Zane stands closer to his brother, placing his hand on Cyrus’ gun and talking to him in a voice too low for me to overhear.
I see the regret in Cyrus’ eyes as he lowers his gun and Grubby stands to the side, laughing as he does. He’s really starting to piss me off! While Burner and Hammer are distracted, shouting towards my family, I try to reach down to my boot where a blade is hiding. In this awkward position that Burner has me in, I don’t have to struggle too much to slide my hands inside my boot and let my fingertips touch the top of the knife handle. Smiling to myself, I grip it and slowly bring the blade up to my chest. With a surge of confidence, I grip the knife tightly and stab Burner in the thigh and he screams, almost knocking me off his shoulder.
“Get off me!” I scream.
“You fucking bitch!” Burner yells and he tries to grab the knife from me but I try to hit his heart or stomach area. I manage to cut along his side but he drops me on the floor but before I can make a run for it, he turns my back to his front and holds me tightly. I’m now facing my family and they’re watching with wide eyes. All of my brothers look furious but Cyrus looks a little scared and I don’t want to worry him. “I’m going to kill you.”
“You do that, and I’ll fucking tear your skin from your bones.” Cyrus growls.
There’s a moment of silence and everyone stares at Cyrus. I even felt the shock run through Burner as the fierceness from Cyrus’ voice hit him. I take that moment and look over at Grubby. He’s watching my family and laughing at them so I do what I’ve been wishing to do since the moment I met him. I throw my blade in the air and aim right at Grubby. The shock on his face when it hits him right in the stomach is priceless. I was aiming for his head but his fat belly will do.
He screams. I laugh. Burner roars.
My family begin to shout as Burner yells, dragging me closer to the van and Hammer returns his gun to my head to silence everyone. I flinch when I hear a gunshot and Hammer drops to the floor, disappearing from Burner’s side. All of a sudden I’m thrown down on a hard floor and the van doors slide shut behind me, shutting me in to the darkness. Gunshots sound and I look around frantically but I may as well have my eyes shut because I can’t fucking see anything. I hear the shouting and arguing as the van speeds away.
“Well, well, well.” I hear and it makes me jump.
“Suzy?” I ask, tying to search for her.
A light in the corner arrives as she lights the van up with her phone. Her face smirks in a nasty way I’ve never seen on her face before.
“You seem shocked to see me.” Suzy says in a mocking tone.
“What the fuck are you playing at?” I growl, getting off my back and into a sitting position.
I just make out Suzy rolling her eyes. “You’re always walking around like you’re a fucking tough bitch. We were inseparable and you always came here, but you fucking left me all alone didn’t you? I was alone when the men started pouring in and you weren’t there to help me fight them off.” She snaps.
“So you’ve handed me over to the Chasers, all because we weren’t as close?” I ask.
“No!” She screams. “I’m pissed at you because you made me theirs!”
“Who?” I ask.
“The fucking Chasers!” She turns red as she yells louder. “They trapped me, wanting information on the Kings and they told me everything you and you’re family are into! I thought we were fucking friends. I didn’t want to betray you, but they forced me. If it wasn’t for you, then this wouldn’t have happened to me. It’s you they want. Not me. They’re just using me to get to you.”
“Suzy, what did they do to you?” I ask quietly.
She then laughs sadly. “What didn’t they do to me is more of an easy question.”
“Shit.” I sigh.
“Don’t you fucking dare.” Suzy growls. “Don’t you dare feel sorry for me.”
“I’m not mad with you.” I let her know and she laughs.
“Really?” Suzy snickers. “Because while I was being raped by three men at once, all I could think is that they wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you and I hated you for it. I still fucking hate you!”
I should be angry with Suzy for what she has done. She’s betrayed me and practically handed me over to the Chasers like a little gift but they forced her into this. Suzy must have been going through hell and I don’t blame her for saving herself from these brutes. Anyone would have and I’m not angry with her. If anything, I feel guilty. She’s right. It’s my name that has put her in this position.
This might be my ending and my life could be taken by the hands that took Sketch’s but I will still do my best to get my revenge. I will try to take out as many of these fuckers with me.
