-Nickolas' POV-A week has passed, and the face-offs were among us again and just like last time, my gang and I were participating. Unlike last time though, our main goal wasn't winning, it was supporting Dominic. It was her time and her stage alone. She was going to win, I had no doubt in that. During this past week, Dominic had spent days and nights training her ass off at different clubs, learning different techniques and even getting to know her stage by doing matches at the place where the face-offs were taking place- which was in a different place to last time. We had hardly seen her but when we did, she used that time training us and you could definitely tell she was a lot stronger than before. I didn't
-Dominic's POV-"NEXT UP FOR TONIGHT'S MATCHES, IT'S NO LONGER THE PRINCESS BUT THE QUEEN OF HELL, THE MYSTERIOUS DEEMMMOOONNNN!!!"I grinned once again at the commentator's introduction of me and made my way into the ring that I am now comfortable standing in.I knew who I'd be fighting already. She had cheated by paying to skip fighting until now and wait until I was this high to fight me. She was a coward and I couldn't wait to beat her face up into a bloody pulp."AND CHALLENGING OUR QUEEN IS ANGEL!" -My replacement.I took off my signature jacket and threw it into the crowd as I always did, except now, whilst my eyes didn't leave Angel's. This left me with my s
-Nickolas' POV-I watched as 'Angel' was carried off of the ring with a smirk on my face. The pride I felt watching my sister win her fights was huge. She was doing amazingly -despite the gore- and I knew her fight with Xavier would go just as well. There was no way she would lose, not when her goal was right there in front of her.I was preparing myself to watch the next match but was then brought back to my senses when I looked around and couldn't find any of my gang. They were all gone. I tensed my muscles and was about to turn when I was stopped by something cold and metallic hitting my back.I moved in an attempt to grab either the gun or the person holding it but when I did, the person m
-Dominic's POV-I guess having both of my brothers and living my happily ever after was too much to ask for huh?For a while, I laid there in my darkness, fully aware of why. Besides, I was the one who decidedto live it out this way. I was the one to choose. When I realised there must have been something wrong, I went to the hospital and that's when I found out,My heart was failing.I was told that I had to stay in the hospital for testing and treatment. I was told to quit smoking and drinking. I was told to stop fighting but of course, I could never agree to that. I told them I'd carry on living that same life, that I wouldn't change it for the world.And so, it b
-6 Months Later-The summer break had finally begun but unfortunately, it couldn't be spent happily. After losing one of his most precious members, Nickolas Secter had been left devastated and in pain. After 6 months without her, he returned to be the cold-hearted leader he once was. However, that mask was ripped off of him when he stood in front of her resting place every week. Many tears were shed on the soil that was laid beneath them.Again, it was time for him to see her. For him to look down and remember his sister one more time. The sister he considered a miracle. The sister he grew to love.He stared at her name across the stone that was nailed onto the tree in front of him. The words,
-Blake's POV-Silence.My world, for the most part, had gone silent. I had blocked everything for a while. People. Places. For months, everything had gone grey.I'd see her sometimes. Convinced she was back. Argued that she was right there in front of me, talking to me, laughing with me. But I was wrong. Hallucinating maybe. Jake would often tell me that. I was even sent to the hospital for it, given medication.I'd like to say I was healing. Maybe completely healed. After all, I was able to sit in her house like I am now with the rest of the gang without getting a panic attack, without being hurt and upset about her being gone,"But she rejected me!"The
-Dominic's POV-Gym class was next.I sighed. It wasn't as if I didn't like gym class, it was my speciality after all, but what we do during gym was always boring as fuck. It wasn't challenging, it didn't work up a sweat, girls usually had it easier and I couldn't use any of my strength at all. It was seriously a waste.It was the last term of high school for me. Most people had been here for years and years and couldn't wait to get out in a month’s time. They claimed they'd miss the place, miss the people in it. I had no such connection. I wasn't going to miss the building I hardly spent time in, I didn't have people I was going to miss, the teachers were useless, the education system a
-Dominic's POV-"Thanks for coming, William,""Anytime D,"I put my seatbelt on whilst sitting in William's car and looked forward. Peace. I think that's what my mind was craving. Away from the people I wasn't used to. Away from the chaos I left behind. Peace.I wanted to go somewhere far and away, somewhere I didn't know. Somewhere to breathe. Yet I knew that wasn't possible. I didn't have the freedom for that plus it wasn't safe.I didn't want to go to Xavier, I was in way too weak of a state to go and pretend to be strong with him. I also wanted to be away from my family right now. Arthur was with Xavier anyway and Nick was busy, so I couldn't go to him even if I
-Blake's POV-"Who the fuck took the photo?!"Rage. That's what was going through my entire body. Under the grip of my fingers, my phone was near its breaking point. The screen holding a picture of a couple of guys holding Dominic against her will, wearing nothing but bandages, hostage under their arms.She looked weak and defeated and that's what angered me the most. They wanted to boost their own egos. Wanted to make themselves look better and in turn, made her out to be something she wasn't.Dominic was strong. That was something I liked about her. When we would bully her she never asked anyone for help, fought her own battles, didn't get teachers involved and took beatings
