BLS #7: BREAKING THE LAST

Chloe Regens

“Chloe.” I opened my eyes slowly.

“Chloe?”

“She’s awake.”

“Where am I?” I asked and when suddenly I remembered that someone bursted into my apartment and kidnapped me. I screamed and sat up straight, I looked around and fine Aaron, Sky, Luke, Max, Sebastian and Alex standing around the bed.

“What?”

“You’re safe here.” I looked for my phone.

“We throw it away.” Alex said and my eyes widen.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“You’re crazy.”

“We’ll get you a new one later.” Sebastian said.

“Why did you guys kidnap me?” I asked.

“For your own safety, don’t do something crazy again Chloe. You might like Ken but this is way off your limits.” Sky said and I sighed.

“Where is he?”

“He went out.” Max said.

“Chloe..” Sebastian take a chair and sat beside the bed.

“Please.. I beg you.. no we beg you to stop this. We do want someone to reach for him but this is not the way. It’s dangerous and we don’t want you to get hurt. He won’t open up Chloe, we tried too so please can you let it down?” Sebastian said seriously.

“Conard is sick.” I stated and they looked at me shock.

“What? What do you mean he’s sick?”

“He has a pen that can record voice to remember what he did all day long.” I said.

“How did you know?”

“I have seen that pen before, I know because my grandfather has one. He has the same type of pen and yesterday I asked Conard about our first meeting and he forgot about it.” I said.

“But he remembers when he deal with Ken and everything like that.”

“It’s because he kept listening to the recording pen after that, he has bits here and there but he can’t remember 100%. I bet he has someone that he trust to help him remember.” I said looking at them.

“Still Chloe it’s dangerous, please back down will you?”

“What have Conard do to Kenneth? Brad? Ollie? What did they do to Kenneth?” I asked them but none of them answer me.

“Just because you know Conard is sick, it doesn’t mean that you still can ask about my life.” I turned to the door to see Kenneth leaning to the door.

“You said you won’t care about me and here you are taking me here.” I said coldly.

“Grow up will you! Don’t be a kid and try to think wide!” He bursted angrily.

“Kenneth, don’t shout at her like that.” Sebastian said.

“Let me help you get rid of Conard.”

“I don’t need you to get rid of him and I’m not getting rid of him. Can you stop jumping into someone’s business?” Ken asked coldly.

“What do you want me to do?” I asked him.

“Don’t stupidly jump into the devil’s lair, go live your own ordinary life and don’t come near us again.” He said

“That’s sound tempting.. what do I get for doing that?” I asked raising my eyebrows.

“Happiness, the life that you should have from the start. Meeting us was a mistake.” His eyes looked straight to mine.

“Don’t you want that too?” I asked.

“Can you guys go out? I need to talk to her alone.” Ken said and the boys walked out from the room. Ken walked to the window and looking at the view. I waited for him to talk.

“I’m the youngest child of Lemiere. Lemiere was the biggest company in the US and my dad was the owner of that. Since I was 6, I was trained to fight. Taking classes after school everyday to learn how to use guns, grenades, knives and things to protect yourself when I turn 11.” Ken explained and I stayed silent.

“Not just me but my sisters and brothers too, we were trained that hard since we were a kid without knowing what are we going to do with it. My dad always taught us about that one day he will be gone and we all have to protect ourselves from any harm. He gave each of one of us secret place that hides a lot of money and things to survive if something happens.”

“One day when I got home from school, I saw my sister’s and brother’s dead body scattered on the floor. The worst thing was that I saw my mom being tied on the wall with rope wrapping around her. I went to find my dad and I didn’t found him anywhere inside the house.. suddenly someone caught me and bring me to a secret slide that connects to the underground. It was my dad.”

“He told me to stay on a secret box and he said he will comeback to me until he gets there again to pick me up. I was crying in silent remembering my sister’s and brother’s body on the floor with their body parts everywhere. I can’t even forget how my mom died.”

“I stayed on that box for hours until it passed one day and my dad didn’t come back to get me. I stay there for 3 days, starving and almost died but someone opened that box suddenly. It was my uncle, he took me out and all I ask about is my dad but he didn’t answer it. When he drive me to take me to a safe place, he was killed too. I ran and ran to the and I was shot on my shoulder but I throw myself to a small lake at that time.”

“I hide and runaway a couple of times, it was hard for a 14 years old kid to be on that situation. I remembered about the secret places that my dad told my siblings and me. I went there alone. He put a lot of money there and give me an address to a new house and everything in New York.”

“I was safe there and there’s already someone who is ready for me to protect and train me again, that’s my past even it’s only a glimpse.” He turned to me.

“Is it enough?” He asked in a cold tone.

“Do you really want me to go away from you? That bad?” I asked.

“Yeah.”

“Can I wait for you?” I asked seriously and he only looked at me.

“Don’t wait for me.. never wait for me.” He looked away, I walked to him. I held his hand and looked at it. I looked up to him but he looked away.

“Can you give me a chance? To make you happy?” I asked and he shook his head.

“You won’t lose me, I promise.” I said and he turned to me.

“No.”

“Let me in.”

“No.”

“You won’t lose me.” I walked to him and held his hands. I looked up to him but he looked away.

“How about we try it? Let’s try this.” I said and he turned to me. He stayed silent and I will take that answer as a yes.
