The minutes of silence passed as we all stared at Gibson's dead body, all that was heard, was our heavy breathing. I was surprised that I didn't cry or anything, I looked at the others for confirmation to leave, Lenny nodded, and Melanie and I walked out of the club, and into the car where Nates men were waiting, there was one thing I was determined for.

To get my mother back.

Not long after, the guys came back, but my mother wasn't with them, "Well..", I broke off the uncomfortable silence , Lenny sighed and Nate was panting, he seemed like he was running, I saw a little blood on his shirt, he must've hurt himself.

"Don't worry... she's gone", I looked down, Nate moved closer to me and held up my chin, "I promise that I'll get her back", he smiled but Marcl came to my side, "You said that last time", he said through gritted teeth, I elbowed him in the stomach, "Thanks, but we'll need more training", I sighed, and we all fell silent, the car ride back home was awfully thick, hatred flowed in the air.

"Lets call it a night, this time we'll send threats to Malcom", Nate demanded us to go straight to sleep, and we did, Lenny and Melanie had a little emotional greeting with Manny, knowing they might've not made it out alive tonight.

I walked straight to my bed, I spoke to no one, until Marcl came into my room to speak. "Thea, I promise you that we will get your mother back, despite me being with Malcom from the start", I sighed, not bothering to look at him, I went back to the time in the car, when Nate said the same thing, "Thats what Nate said", I looked at him. Marcl looked hurt at first but smiled, "But now I'm saying it".

He leaned in to kiss me, and I accepted it, our kiss went further, and we were tangled up with each other on the bed, moaning and groaning would be heard, Marcl took off my shirt, and I did the same for him, Marcl was unbuttoning my pants when I had the memory of when Nate was going to take my innocence away. The night when we made out, but I stopped him, because I wasn't ready.

"Stop", I sat up, Marcl looked at me confused, he sat down, and gave me my shirt, "Lets take it slow", the truth was that I haven't been feeling the same for Marcl anymore, I feel like I used him to get away from Nate, and to erase the memory of him. I sighed, "Lets just go to sleep", I sighed and laid down, closing my eyes, I felt Marcls arms wrap around me, normally I would snuggle up closer to him, but I didn't, a big wave of guilt overtook me, and I regretted for thinking of Nate while with Marcl.

Nate

I heard them in the next room, he was probably going to fuck her then leave.

I hated the thought of it.

I hated everything about Marcl, his voice, his stupid face, and that effect he had on Thea.

Tonight was a failure, I promised Thea I'd get her mother back, and I don't make empty promises, anymore. I slept through the whole night, thinking about how I was going to avenge my families death. Malcom, the devil, the real psychopath I followed in his footsteps, and he made me do it.

Amelia, I'm so sorry, Nicolas, you wouldn't forgive me, mum and dad, I know. I'm a failure.

"Now boy, when psychopath always psychopath"

That was my last encounter this Malcom before I went to my fathers office to kill him and the rest of my bloodline. I still remember the proudness on Malcoms face when I told him I had killed them all, he wanted all the money my father had.

I hated him. Malcom.

It was hard to believe that I was his student, he taught me how to hunt, and what weapons to use, our history was dark, but I enjoyed the attention he gave me. Malcom never mentioned his family while I was with him, he only said that he needed money to provide them things.

I heard some shuffling outside my room, it must be Marcl going back to his room, but there was a knock on my door. "Nate?", a familiar voice whispered, I instantly knew it was Thea, only she said my name like that, desperate and calm. Normally I would get yelled at.

I got up, and opened the door, she was shivering, while wearing the same clothes, "What's wrong?" I whispered back, she looked up at me, and tears were begging to spill, "Can, I borrow your hoodie?, it's cold" she asked, I raised my eyebrows, "Ask Marcl" I replied coldly. She gasped and hid her face, "He's asleep, and I don't want to wake him up" she quickly replied.

"And you woke me up?" I smirked, Thea didn't look at me, I sighed and got my favourite hoodie, she grabbed for it and hugged it, I smiled a little. Thea's timid body walked back to her room, where Marcl was sleeping.

I rolled my eyes, and went back to bed, resting my eyes, and letting the night grow later.

"Kill them" Malcoms voice whispered in my ear, as I walked out of his house, and went to my own.

"Get it done, then I promise you, I will find you a diamond", I told Malcom about the diamond and Gem thing my parents told me about. They've always talked about finding the one for me.

Everything they did, I would tell Malcom. He controlled me. He would buy me guns and hunting knives to practice on.

Don't get me wrong I was still abnormal when I was a child, but Malcom led me into the path of a real monster. I will never forgive him for what he did, and I will never look at myself the same way for trusting him.
