Chapter 57 - Chapter 57

I'm sweating, my chest tight with guilt but also anticipation, finally...I'll reunite with my brother...after what seems like forever I reach the base. I enter my heart racing and there he is... waiting. Wilson Duke,

Took you long enough

He smirked getting off his seat. I throw the documents on the table barely containing my tears, my suit torn and dirty from the long journey.

I did what you asked...now give me my brother.

He chuckles and throws the documents in a drawer without even looking over them. He turns to me that evil smirk

What are you talking about?

He says faking ignorance

Cut the crap Wilson! We had a deal!

I shout back holding back tears

What deal...would you be so kind as to remind me?

He says leaning back on the desk with a smirk

Stop with the bullshit! Give me my brother back!

He pushes himself off his desk and walks towards me,

Careful with that attitude boy...

He says as he slams me into the wall roughly

And why would I hand over your brother...

He says with an amused grin

Don't play dumb! We had a deal! I got you these documents so give Mr back my brother!

He just chuckles and gestures something to his guards who leave and drag in Orion by his neck.

Orion...

Tears escape my eyes as I take his sight in, his usual cheery face now pale and dull. His eyes that once had a glow were now empty and he looks like he hasn't eaten in ages, his body frail and thin. He looks at me and I see hope in his eyes,

Pheonix...you came back...

He says with teary eyes, Wilson looks between us with a grin

Aww so cute...a family reunion. But I'm afraid I can't let you go just yet

He says with an evil look

We had a deal! We're leaving!

I go and grab orion's hand and head towards the door

I said I'm not done yet.

A gunshot sound echoes through the room and before anyone could process Orion collapsed on the floor, blood seeping out from his abdomen. My eyes widen in horror and my heart sank as I rushed down.

Orion?!! Shit no no no no you can't!!

I sobbed as I pressed down on his wound

I told you I'm not done

I turn around seeing Wilson standing there with a gun looking proud of himself, before I could contain myself I lunged at him

YOU FUCKING MONSTER WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!!!

I'm sobbing and my voice is filled with rage and despair as I attack him but his guards hold me back.

You Fucking bastards let me go!!!

I struggle but it's no use, I see Orion bleeding out on the floor and before I get a chance to do something the guards drag me out of the room as I yell and thrash for them to let me go, so I can help my brother but it's of no use, they throw me in a dark room with only a small window high up, old computers and desks and barely any light locking the door behind them. I yell and bang on the door,

Open the door!!! Dammit open it!!

I'm sobbing and screaming but my heart is also tight with panic thinking about my brother, the fact he's out there bleeding put and dying while I can't do anything about it breaks me in a certain way, one I can't describe, is it rage...regret... despair...guilt...or a combination of all of them...(Sebastian...I'm sorry...I ruined my life with you...and turns out it was all for nothing...what am I gonna do now...I can't do it anymore...God help me...)
