The day had been long with the intense workout my dad had been putting me through. He seemed to have something on his mind and when I would ask him he would talk in a riddle and it would confuse me. I gave up on asking him to explain because he would never give me a straight answer. It frustrated me to the point where I punched the living shit out of the punching bag in the weight room.

“I think that’s all the workout we need tonight. Hit the showers and get some rest Jay.” Dad said while looking up at the clock. He looked even more troubled than he did earlier today but I know if I asked him again he wouldn’t give me a good enough answer.

I nodded to him as I grabbed my towel and wiped the sweat off my forehead and walked out of the weight room. I went upstairs and into my room where I grabbed some clothes and went into the bathroom for a nice hot shower. After I got out of the shower and dressed in my pajamas, I hopped into bed relaxing and slowly drifting off to sleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I awoke to yells and then the sound of a gunshot. I jumped out of bed quickly and went over to my bedroom door cracking it open slightly and looking out. I saw my dad laying on the floor and pointing up to where I was.

“Vengeance and Gates go get her.” I heard and I closed my door and grabbed the nearest thing to me to use in defense. I hid behind the door as the door began to open and when one man walked into the room I hit him in the back making him fall to the ground. I felt someone’s hands go around my arms but I flipped the person over my head and he fell to the floor.

“You stupid bitch!” one man said and he came after me again and I threw punch after punch but it didn’t seem to faze him. The other guy came at me and I defended myself accordingly. Both of the rather muscular men couldn’t take me down. I felt another pair of stronger arms grab mine and swiftly put me against the wall. I struggled against his grip.

“V, cuff her before she gets loose from my grip!” the man yelled as I continued to fight. I felt something cold go against my flesh and click and when I tried to move my arms they wouldn’t move. The men I fought against dragged me from the room and down the stairs. I saw my dad lying in the floor in a pool of blood and that enraged me even more.

I struggled against the men again but their grips tightened and I was dragged outside. The men threw me into the back of Van with tinted windows and got in. The tires screeched as they pulled away from my home.

“You know you shouldn’t have hit me like that. Was that any way to treat a house guest?”

“Go fuck yourself.” I said full of hate. I watched as the man’s hand slapped me hard in the face making me turn my head. I spun my head back around and looked at him with pure hate.

“V, you know what Shadows said. He doesn’t want her harmed.” The chocolate eyed man said. The man he called V sat back and crossed his arms over his chest. I moved my wrists around trying to get free from the cuffs he had put on me.

Suddenly the car came to a stop and I had to brace myself from going towards this V guy. The man opens the door and got out while the chocolate eyed man gently pushed me over to the door. V grabbed my arm and pulled me out but I head butted him and chocolate eyes grabbed me keeping me still.

“Stupid bitch! You’ll pay for that.”

“What the hell are you going to do?” I said and he reared back his hand but a short man kept him from hitting me. The short man took my other arm and they literally dragged me into the huge mansion-like house.

They stopped as they approached the steps and another man with a buzzed head wearing a tank top showing his muscular tatted up arms and he had aviators covering his eyes.

“Hello Jaylee. I’ve been expecting you.”

“How do you know my name?” I asked pulling against the men who held me firmly.

“That will be explained later but for now I’d like to welcome you to the Avenged Mansion.”

“Welcome me? You people shoot my dad and kidnap me and you expect me to accept your welcoming? You must be fucking stupid as shit.” I said harshly.

“What do you mean by harming your father?”

“Shads her father told us we weren’t taking her so I had to use force.” V said putting his hands into his pockets. I watched as the man he called Shads grab him and put him against the wall.

“I told you specifically not to harm anyone!” he yelled in his face.

“What else was I supposed to do?”

“You do nothing but send someone up to her room to get her! God get out of my sight.” Shads said pushing him roughly away and rubbing his temples. He cleared his throat and walked back in front of me.

“Gates, I think you can handle her by yourself. Bring her to my office.” Shads said and the man pulled me along up the stairs and into another room where the buzz headed man sat down on the corner of his desk. I was sat down in a chair in front of him with my hands still cuffed.

“Gates uncuff her please.” I felt him uncuff my hands and I rubbed them when the cuffs were taken off.

“Now, my name is Shadows. This man’s name is Synyster but you may call him Syn. The reason I know your name is because of your mother.”

“My mother?” I said raising a brow.

“Yes. She was associated with us and don’t worry about your father. As we speak he’s being given medical care and will be put into one of our many safe houses for protection.”

“Why the fuck am I here?” I asked sighing heavily.

“You’re here to be protected. The people who were after your mother are not after you.”

“What are you talking about?” I asked confused.

“Your mother didn’t commit suicide. Grace was killed because of her dealing with us.”

“This has to be some kind of sick fucking joke.” I said angrily.

“This is not joke Jaylee. Your mother was killed for information and the people who killed your mother are now after you because they think she might have told you something.”

“My mother hasn’t told me anything and I don’t understand why the hell I am here. I don’t need anyone’s help.” I said honestly.

“The day before your mother was murdered, she came to me asking for a favor. You see when she was alive she talked about you often and her favor was to bring you here if something happened to her and protect you.”

“I don’t need protection.” I said simply.

“You’ll need it from these men. They are ruthless killers and they will stop at nothing to get you.”

“First off, how in the hell could you know she was murdered? From what I was told, she had committed suicide.” I said shaking my head.

“The people that wanted your mother made it looked like she killed herself. I had informed you father about it and told him about the favor and he said he knew about it. Why do you think he taught self-defense in hand to hand combat skills along with how to shoot a gun?”

“I don’t know. He never would give me a straight answer about it but why kidnap me?” I asked curiously.

“We had to make it look like a kidnapping. You were being watched for over a month by the people who killed Grace and we had to make it look bad.”

“Who are the people that killed my mother?” I asked holding in a yawn.

“There are just some things that are better left untold at the moment.”

“Now you’re talking like my dad. Just give me a straight fucking answer.” I said in frustration.

“I can’t do that right now. When everything dies down I will but until then you’re going to have to trust my judgment.”

“Trust is earned not given.” I said sighing.

“I know that but for the time being you are going to have to trust and listen to me. We’ll finish our conversation another time. Gates show her to the room we’ve fixed up for her.” He nodded and I got up from my seat and followed Gates down the hall and he opened a door. I went inside and looked around the room. I heard the door shut and I went over to the bed and lay down. It didn’t take long for me to go back to sleep.
