Chapter 18

Jayden... Present...

Logan immediately jumped down and walked around us to climb up and work on the other cuff.

"Just a little longer Emma," I said softly holding her up the best I could on the other side.

Logan worked faster this time, but Emma let a groan of discomfort. Hanging from one hand was hurting her even with us doing our best to hold her up. Logan finished quicker on the second arm and Emma's body tumbled down and into Asher's arms. She automatically wrapped around him and started to cry. Asher was a bit surprised at first but quickly recovered and wrapped his arms around her waist and took a step back.

"Let's go home." He said softly to her and turned in the direction of the exit.

I glanced at Leo and Logan as we shared the same expression of relief. The sentiment was short-lived, and Logan's expression quickly turned deadly as his anger resurfaced. I")

we all exited and made our way out, I noticed people pointing and watching Asher and Emma. Emma was walking on her own now, but Asher had his arms around her helping keep her stable. >) "Get out of here!" Leo yelled to the people looking on.

People scrambled away as the five of us made our way down the hallway and out the front door. It was nice to see the fear in their eyes because if they thought for one second that they could go up against us they were going to be sorely mistaken. We didn't go easy, and people always paid in blood. Andrea had crossed a line that no one had dared cross before, and I didn't care who her father was she would pay greatly for this. My mind began to come up with several ways I would make her hurt as I made my way to the car.

I saw Asher climb into the back seat of his car and take a seat next to Emma. She moved closer to him and rested her head on his shoulder. Asher didn't hesitate this time and pulled her closer to him. Leo and Logan took the other car and I climb into the driver's seat of the car Asher and Emma were in. Asher held out the keys to me and I look at him through the rear-view mirror. His attention was completely on Emma and there was a softness to his face that looked foreign on his face. (5)

minute later my phone vibrated and I saw it was a message from Logan. They were going after Andrea, and they wanted us to take Emma home and stay with her. Leo sent a message too before I could reply to the first message. (7 LOGAN: We are going to the garage. Make sure Asher knows.

She nodded and allowed Asher to remove her ruined shirt and my eyes fell onto the scars littering her back.
