Olivia looked at the man in front of her. How did he know her name?? Why was he looking for her? There were so many questions and so little answers.
"You might be wondering who I am and what I am doing here. Am I wrong, Olivia?" He said, mischief filling his voice. Olivia only could think about one thing though.
Am I this easy to read? Everyone here seems to know what I'm thinking. This is so creepy.
Then, he came into light and Olivia could see his face. It was beautiful. He had brown hair, was a really tall man and built like a castle. But what stood out the most were his eyes. Deep, mysterious, fascinating emerald green eyes that called out to her. And Olivia answered the call. The attraction she was feeling was undeniable. But Trinity didn't seem to be as attracted as Olivia eyes because she aimed her gun at him and asked.
"Who are you?? Why are you here??" She said sternly
"You don't have to know who I'm. But I'm sure if you hear my name, you'll realise what I'm here for. Or not. Since you don't know why I'm here anyway..."
The unknown man didn't even had time to finish his sentence when he, Olivia and Trinity heard a gun shot close by the stairs, it looked like someone was ready to go upstairs. Olivia froze and Trinity pulled her by the arm.
"We have to get out of the house now!" Trinity said while shaking Olivia's body to make her wake up from her trance. Olivia looked at Trinity and decided to run away with her. She didn't want to know who was firing a gun. But suddenly, the unknown man stayed on their way out of the house.
"Do you really think I'll let you scape?" He said. Trinity aimed her gun at him again.
"Let me pass!! Or I'll shoot you!" She said and it made the man laughed, he then shook his head and aimed his gun at her.
"You shoot me and I'll shoot you. We both lose." He said, his tone turning cocky. "Now let's not be like my fellas downstairs and talk. Without fights. Now put the gun on the floor."
Trinity hesitated, but obeyed his order. The man did the same. Olivia felt a little relief run through her but it didn't last. Trinity quickly assaulted the man and kicked him where the sun never shines. He backed away a little and Trinity took the opportunity to catch the two guns and aim at him. Olivia was once again petrified, she never knew Trinity could play so dirty. But this was a gang world.
"Now you will let us go or you're dead." Trinity threatened. The man laughed.
"You're really a soft one aren't you?! If it were the others, I would already be dead." He mocked Trinity
"I'm not like them. I just kill when it's necessary." The man nodded and got out of the way.
"So now you can go" He said. "But I'll be back for you, Olivia"
Olivia stared stunned at him. Was he really letting them go this easily? He said he wouldn't. What kind of game was that? Why didn't he screamed for his partners? What was his name after all? How did he know her? It was all so confusing. But it could wait, Trinity pulled Olivia by her arm and the two ran away to the nearest room.
"This room has a mini elevator. But it's big enough for the both of us." Trinity said opening a little door at the wall. "When we get down, we will exit."
She then entered the mini elevator and Olivia did the same. It was kinda of narrow there but nothing that she couldn't handle. She was running for her life after all.
When already downstair, at the basement, Trinity opened the door and they exited the house. They were about to get in Trinity's car but a shadow appeared. It was a man, one of the attackers. He ran towards them and began to shoot. The bullets almost hit Olivia several times but she and Trinity managed to hide behing a tree. The man was still shooting and Trinity doing the same. But they never hit one another. Till the both ran out of bullets.
The car was really close, if they managed to run faster than the attacker, they would enter the car and leave. Trinity decided to make the first move and urged Olivia to run.
"Run Olivia, run!" She yelled. Olivia knew it wasn't the time to make jokes but she wanted so bad so yell back that she was not Forrest Gump. But she obeyed anyway
While they were running to the car, the man ran to them. He collided with Trinity, making her fall to the ground. Olivia panicked, the man was about to attack her too. He tried to punch her but Trinity got up and kicked him on his stomach. He backed away for a second but it wasn't enought for the two girls to run. He attacked Trinity again, punching her jaw and making her fall. Olivia was so done with him that after he punched Trinity and went to finish her, she took the opportunity to kick him were the sun never shines. He yelled in pain and it gave her the chance to catch Trinity's gun and hit him on the head.
Trinity then got up and finished the job by kicking him several times. When he was already unconscious, they ran to the car and drove to the new house they were staying.

Hours passed and, on the road, all Olivia could think about was what that handsome man had told her. But not only that, she thought about what turn her life made. How she went from Rapunzel to girl who was on the run for her life. She remembered her father, and wondered what he was feeling about not having his little girl by his side. She remembered all the things Ace said to her. Ace...Where was she right now? Dead? Alive?
"Hey, do you know what happened to the girls?" Olivia asked Trinity, who was driving.
"I don't. The last time I saw them, Ace ordered me to protect and run away with you." Trinity said, Olivia noticed a bit of sadness on her voice.
"Do you think they are ok?"
"Maybe. I don't know. But they are really good fighters, so I guess they have chance of surviving." Trinity reassured Olivia. "But what's strange though, is the attack. You know, Ricardo Vasquez gang and affiliateds aren't known to do such kind of things. That attack was too reckless, too sudden. I wonder if it has a connection to what that man said"
What Trinity said made Olivia wonder. If this was an act of revenge, why they attacked them like amateurs? Olivia remembered what that man had said.
"Finally I found you, Olivia"
Was he the only one looking for her? Or perhaps, the whole gang was actually looking for her and the "revenge" was just an excuse? It could be it!! But why? Why would they be looking for Olivia like that? Noticing Olivia's worried expression, Trinity tried to cheer her up.
"Hey, I saw what you did to that guy. It was really brave of you."
"It was nothing, you finished him remember? If it was not for you, I would've been killed"
"But you did a great job by reacting instead of staying still. It takes some guts to do it, trust me."
Olivia giggled a little. What she did wasn't that special. She just got tired of the man and decided to kick him. If she stopped to think about it, she never had done something like that before. She was a girl who never had punched someone, or kicked. And much less a girl who got sick of people's behavior. Ace was right, she was changing. She just didn't know if it was for better or worse.
"But, you are still really inexperienced. You have much to learn." Trinity continued. "I guess you should at least learn how to fire a gun. If you're gonna to live with us, you're gonna have to learn how to fight"
Olivia nodded. Even if she didn't want to admit, she needed to learn how to fight. Ace wasn't going to let her go, so she might as well learn how to fend for herself. But it was just it. She wasn't going to join the gang never. NEVER.

Arriving at the new house, Olivia and Trinity entered it. There was no one in the house yet. It worried the both of them. Olivia began to wonder if in fact they mad it ou alive.
"So, what do we do now?" Olivia asked Trinity.
"Nobody is answering my calls, so I guess we'll have to wait." Trinity said. And they waited.
Suddenly, the noise of a car filled their ears. Finally the girls arrived!! Or so they thought. Getting out of the car, Mo, Nikki and Ray made their way towards Trinity. They hugged each other. In that moment, Olivia knew they were not just a gang, but a family too. Trinity had told her that. Even if they fighted, the world would end if one of them died.
"What happened? How did you manage to get out?" Trinity asked the three girls.
"We shot some boys, fighted and blah blah blah..." Mo said, she seemed beyond tired. But who wouldn't be? She fighted witha whole gang with just other three girls.
Wait! But there were just three of them. And the fourth? Olivia noticed that and asked.
"Hey, how about Ace?" She aked.
As if they just noticed it, Mo, Ray and Nikki looked at each other. They didn't have a clue where Ace was.
"We don't know...She ordered us to take some guns, supliments and to run away. But obviously we had to fight the boy first to escape." Nikki said. "The last time we saw her, was when she ordered us."
"Yeah, and when we entered the car, Ace's car was still there." Mo explains. "But I think she will come soon."
Trinity then face palmed herself. The girls all looked at her.
"How could I forget about it??" Trinity said then explained. "We all have a gps system to our cars right?" The girls nodded. "I installed a program where we can track where the car is right now! So we can know where Ace is right now"
Trinity then grabbed her phone and began tipping on it. For a moment, Olivia felt happy. They were going to know where Ace was. But instead of happiness, Trinity's face showed shock when she finished looking at her phone.
"W-what happened?" Olivia asked. Trinity gulped and look at the four girls before her.
"Here it says that..." She paused and took a deep breath. "Ace's car is still in our last house"
Olivia's eyes wildened. The only way Ace had to escape that house by was riding a car. The area the house was in, was a troublesome one. Perfect for a gang to do it's business because it was on the middle of a forest. But horrible to someone who wanted to run away from it. Ace could be at anywhere in that forest, or in the road. Or even dead. But the main question was.
Where was Ace?
