Chapter 7

Back to the present****

"Anna please tell us what happened this is not something you should keep for yourself I don't know who to believe anymore."Said Vanessa.

Anna stopped sobbing and tried to calm herself.How is she supposed to tell? what is she supposed to say? That her sister,step mother and father killed her mother,step brother and step father? That She was reborn?

That Kira was…

'No I can't'

"Am sorry I can't"She tried to hold her tears back but it was too painful."Seriously man up stop being a coward if you can't even face your friends your past your darkness how will you defeat those who harmed you and Kira??"

Anna nodded.Ellie is right she has to become stronger starting now.As she thought of this a sudden wave of realization hit her."wait how did-" Ellie interrupted her"we know someone was and to harm us back then but we are still not sure who we learned in an investigation 2 months ago"

Anna then nodded but deep inside she felt guilty she was the one who told them that Kira deserved those people to want to murder her. She can blame Lenny all she wants but really she was the stupid one how could she fall for those horrible schemes.

'Why is it so hard? life….yeah life that's it I could tell but you wouldn't like to know.The pain yeah the pain I decided to keep it to myself but now you are asking for it why?l always have to take responsibility…..'

"I remember that day we were in second year of

high school and after school we wanted to hangout but our bodyguards were clinging to us so we escaped together…."Ellie and Vanessa froze that… that day…. supposedly Kira was sick and had to go away for a while how come?

"Wait what—"Anna shook her head."Yes we lied she was not sick I was not in my hometown we just didn't want to worry you"

"I remember we were walking back to a nearby park when we told you guys to go buy ice cream because something was wrong-and something was wrong"

Vanessa nodded "yess that day when we came back we were told by our parents that Kira got sick and you went to live with your mom for a while…."Anna nodded "that was a lie"

"We were being followed so Kira and I made sure you went to the furthest ice cream cart with the longest line….when you left a white van

pulled in front of us 3 man in black came over people didn't notice because we were in a kind of isolated place it was weird though like it was planned because usually that side of the park is full at that time…"

"Wh-What happened n-next"Ellie has a good idea of what could have happened but was still a little hesitant to accept it.

"Trust me you wouldn't want to know"

"Anna-"Before Ellie could finish Anna interrupted her." I know..…the men came forward with this grin on their faces…."

****Rash Back

Kira held Anna's hand and pushed her behind her."Run…" she whispered But Anna refused how she could let her friend all alone facing the kidnappers that would be plain selfishness.Something Anna's heart never

held."I won't" She stubbornly responded.

Before Kira could answer back one of the men grabbed her wrist and put a cloth in her mouth suffocating her and finally causing her to faint "Kira!!" Anna was grabbed by another man and just like Kira she fainted from the cloth put under her nose.

When Anna woke up she found herself blindfolded and her feet and hands tied up."k-kira where are you" she asked trying to find Kira's voice.She was scared of course she was."Am here right next to you it's going to be okay don't be afraicTAnna was startled why is she so calm?"are you okay? Where are we? Who are these people?"

Faced with a hand full of questions Kira tried to compose herself. How is she supposed to tell her that it's her fault they are in this situation in the first place.

Who is she? Well to Anna she is just a girl she met in a park from a normal rich family but there's way more than that…..

"Anna do you know about the five Prestigious families?" Anna tried to think for a while

'what? How is this related?'

"ummm yes wait what does that have to do with anything?" She questioned

"Am Kira- Kira Ross my family name is actually Ross not Scott we are in constant danger am sorry I brought this on you it's all my fault"Ana was utterly shocked she heard about the five Prestigious families the Collins,Ross,Long,versales and Taylor these families had fought their way up and they are usually the targets of greedy people who infiltrate into their companies family and even boldly kidnap their members.lt truly isn't easy being a member although their rich and have

everything money power houses cars you name it and they have it.

But in Kira's case being the heir to the Ross family she lives with gun pointed at her head."y〇u nriea-" Kira nodded her friend is smart definitely."Am sorry I didn't tell you"

Even if she is disappointed Anna is a reasonable person so she nodded and didn't utter a word"l really am sorry"Kira insisted knowing her friend's personality she is secretly mad but is understanding.

"I know don't worry but how will we get out of this?"Realizing the situation Kira decided she needs to come clean"Anna that is not all IF something were to happen I need you to be prepared."No!! Don't talk like that!"

"How can you say that? And in front of me!"First she was disappointed but now what does she think?"Okay calm down am sorry I just need you

to know this calm down"

'Isn't she too relaxed??' As if Kira could read her mind she answered Anna's question "I have a tracking device no matter what happens my family knows where I am we will be okay I promise"Anna nodded relieved but still felt something was off.

If only she knew what was to come…
