The Academy

“We can’t go in right now, if we do we all get caught and this will have been for nothing.” Taylor said.

“But it’s Cassie we’re talking about.” I screamed.

“Did you hear that?” A man’s voice yelled.

Taylor put a hand around my mouth and held it there tightly.

“Yeah, but you know what Chris told us. No matter how far the two of them go, we’ll be able to find them. After all it’s a bit more fun to place hide and seek with the girl.” Ricky said, walking next to Vinny.

“I know, but you have to admit to that you can’t wait to deal with her.” Vinny replied.

“None of us can.” Ricky stated, with a disgusting smile on his face.

“Sick assholes.” I whispered, when Taylor finally let go of my mouth and there were no guys in sight.

“I got a look at their schedule. At one thirty in the morning, no one’s out and about for a full hour. Their sleep schedules all overlap so we can make it in and get Chance and Cassie.” Taylor told me.

“We’ll just wait until then and then we’ll go.” I told him.

He agreed and we just sat staring at the sky when Taylor eventually came over to me and shook me from my daze.

“It’s time to go.” He whispered, worry apparent in his eyes.

I nodded and followed him back towards the house which resembled both a castle and a prison. We walked all the way back to the doors that all of the other guys had exited, and slipped right on through, thankful that the door was unlocked.

“Where are we going?” I whispered.

“Stay here and I’ll be right back.” Taylor replied.

Just as I was about to protest he quickly ran around the corner and disappeared.

“Asshole.” I muttered.

About 10 minutes later he came back with a knife in his hand as well as what looked like to be a gun.

“Don’t panic, you’re taking the gun but you won’t shoot unless I say so. As of now it’s a scare tactic.” Taylor exclaimed.

“Whatever but we need to go and find Cassie and Chance now.” I said.

Taylor nodded, and ran and I fell into step after him. He finally took a right and we ended up in the middle of what seemed to be a large ballroom. Leading into the ballroom from the above level were 10 grand staircases.

“It’s just up the stairs and at the end of the hall.” Taylor said.

“Cassie and Chance?” I questioned.

“Yep, and our ticket out of here.” Taylor responded.

Once we were on the bottom step of the staircase that had been across from us, we froze in place. Mike Kuza was at the top of the staircase.

Taylor and I automatically turned around and realized that there was one guy on each staircase. They were Kuza, Ghost, James, Mike, Ryan, Cameron, Vinny, Ben, Balz, and Sam. In other words we were fu**ed.

However, I was still going to get them back.

“James, it’s nice to see that you’re not dead.” I taunted.

“I wouldn’t tease the lions my dear, they’re trained to kill.” James growled back.

“But you and I know you can’t. Vinny even confirmed that near the woods yesterday.” I sassed back.

They all started to walk forwards until Taylor and I were in the very middle of the room, back to back and they were now all at the bottom of the staircase. Completely petrified I panicked and pulled out the gun, aiming it straight at Ben’s face.

“Bella, put it down.” Taylor demanded.

“No.” I stated.

“Sweetheart, you might want to listen to him or else.” Ben warned me.

“Or else what?” I spat back.

Instant regret.

That’s what I felt when a long, skinny gloved hand came out from behind me, knock the gun out of my hand and then like a snake, it slithered across my stomach and gripped onto me tightly. I instantly knew who it was.

“Balz would you please assist Mr. Taylor to his bedroom.” Chris asked.

“I’d love to.” Balz replied.

Balz came up to Taylor, grabbed the knife from him, took Taylor’s arm and guided him out of the room.

“Who’s willing to take her and keep her in their room?” Chris wondered, quizzing the 9 remaining guys.

Kuza raised his hand.

“No.” I stated.

“No isn’t a word that’s allowed here my little Bella.” Chris told me.

“I’m not your anything.” I snarled.

“Time will tell. For now Kuza I’ll have her stay with Ben, I don’t want Danny to feel like we’re hogging her.” Chris announced.

“Come on love, let’s go.” Ben called, walking closer to me with an extended hand.

Chris’ grip got a bit looser on me, so out of the blue I turned around and reached for the gun but Ben was already to close. As soon as I bent down, he lifted me up and threw me over his shoulder.

“Let go!” I screamed, over and over again, kicking, biting, and scratching him.

Ben obviously was a lot stronger than me. He seemed to just effortlessly carry my body despite my many efforts to get free, he carried me up the flight of stairs that he had come down and I then noticed that James was behind us.

“If I were you I’d stop fighting, Danny doesn’t take that kind of shit.” Ben told me.

“When I kill him in the middle of the night, he won’t have to worry about that kind of stuff anymore.” I growled.

“Shut up. I still don’t think you realize who and or what you’re dealing with.” James said.

“A bunch of cocky band members who obviously think they’re god.” I snapped.

James just smiled, and Ben hit me on the butt hard enough to sting, but not burn.

“Get used to that.” Ben huffed, as we arrived in front of a lovely and ornate door.

I had the feeling that whatever was inside the door was not nearly as nice as the exterior. James went in front of Ben and I and opened the door revealing 5 magnificent beds, each with a canopied top. 6 people, 5 beds, the math was pretty simple.

“Look who decided to show up.” Danny exclaimed as Ben carried me in and as Ben jumped into the bed closest to the door.

Figures that he was the watchdog.

“She’s going to shut up and go to bed.” James stated, taking his shirt off.

At this point I was praying that sleeping on the floor would suffice.

“Fine, I will.” I replied.

I grabbed a blanket off of the bed closest to me and laid down on the floor, hiding myself in the blanket.

“Did you kill her?” Cameron asked, walking into the room.

“Not yet.” Ben chuckled from across the room.

“Bella get up, you’re not sleeping on the floor.” Danny said from where he was.

“Make me.” I snapped.

I instantly regretted that decision. The fabric of the blanket was see through so I could see that James was coming towards me. I threw the blanket off and attempted to run, but was stopped short thanks to something heavy hitting my head. I fell to the floor, on the verge of unconsciousness. The last thing that I remembered seeing was James picking me up and putting me on the bed furthest away from the door.

Tomorrow was going to be a bitch of a day.

Notes

So the escape didn't go as planned, and now she's with Asking Alexandria. Things are going to start getting interesting. More band members will be introduced and things will get a bit more personal.

Keep Commenting! I love to see how you guys think this is going. Thanks again for reading!
