The Queen Of Blood & Hearts

Scar walked out of the pub, he was dizzy and getting more dizzy with each step he took, he was feeling hot also as if he could take off his whole clothes off, just rip them apart but he knew he was in public and he had to compose himself. He had been through this before, obviously under differrent circumstances but he was trained for this so he can survive at least until he finds help. Clasping his phone in his hand, he stumbled in the street, trying to avoid stumbling into people. The Ryder brothers were going the opposite direction, going to their car just after having dinner from a restaurant three buildings from the pub that Scar just left. "That was my left over you pig." Alex reminded Tim and he burst out laughing, " I'm the youngest and you basically raised me so I got used to just being spoiled by you." He shrugged. "Okay that's enough." Kyle reprimand holding Alex back from grabbing Tim by the collars. "Ohh, hey!" Kyle exclaimed when Scar crashed into him. He was out of breath and to the Ryder brothers he seemed drunk like a skunk. Kyle was about to push him off of him when Scar, all breathless tried to scream, "help." But it came out low and dry, scratching his throat a little. "What?" Tim leaned his ear close to Scar's lips. "Help me please." That took a lot out of Scar to sound out clearly. " Ohh he's drunk just push him away." Alex tried to grab Scar and remove him from his brother but Scar suddenly stood up straight trying to balance himself on Kyle. "They drugged me." Scar told them. They looked at him all clueless waiting for him to elaborate. "My friends, they drugged me and they are trying to hurt me." He said seeing their blank face or at least that's what he thought he was seeing. "Yeah right." Alex rolled his eyes. "You're clearly drunk, so just go home." He suddenly grabbed him and pushed him away, causing Scar to stumble. They were about to take a step when with all his will power he screamed, "wait!" They turned and he started pressing his phone and showed them a video. "See." He showed them his phone in which a video began to play showing Scar's friend talking about drugging him and hurting him. They were shocked and he suddenly collapsed to the floor. The Ryder brothers watched him for a minute and Tim started shaking him with his foot but he wasn't moving. "Let's just leave him here, afterall this isn't our business." Alex told them pulling them to start walking to their car. "We can't leave him here okay." Kyle answered his big brother. "Imagen if it was one of us." Alex flashed a smile then said, "I would be responsible and call one of us, I mean why doesn't he call his family?" He asked pointing at him. "Maybe he doesn't have one and as you saw from the video, his friends are the ones who did this to him." Tim sighed and picked up Scar bridal style and said, "well let's go." Alex rolled his eyes and they put him in the car and started driving. Kyle was driving in the direction of their home when Alex screamed, "what are you doing!?" Suddenly scared Kyle pulled up abruptly and looked to Alex, "I'm driving home." He said. "You can't do that." Alex said with urgency in his voice and his eyes about to pop out of his head. "Why not?" Kyle didn't understand. "First of all, if he wakes up in our house he might think we did something to him. Second of all we are the Ryder brothers so we have to avoid any scandals. And third which is the most important one, he is a fu**n stranger!" He yelled the last part. Kyle gave him a blank stare and Alex sighed. "Just drive to the nearest gas station." Kyle's eyes widened, "you wanna leave him at the gas station?" He was shocked at his brother's suggestion. "How about we just book a motel and leave him there, huh?" He suggested. Alex slapped him, "that would create an even bigger scandal you fool!" He screamed right at his face. "If people see us walking into a motel holding an unconscious body and then leaving, they would think we did something to him." Kyle thought about it and he started nodding as he realised what his brother was worried about. "Now drive to the nearest gas station." He instructed and Kyle stepped on it. They arrived at the nearest gas station and parked there. Kyle put his hand on Scar's forehead to feel his temperature and he felt a little hot, "he's running a fever." He made them aware. "What do you want us to do this time?" Tim asked annoyed because Scar was passed out on him. "I'll just go into the shop and buy him some water." Alex looked at him with squinted eyes, "and how is he going to drink the water seeing he is fu**ken passed out!?" He was pissed off. "Im just going to wipe him off, that's all." Alex wanted to comment but he held his tongue. Kyle went and bought water and a tissue. He wet the tissue a little and tried to wipe his forehead but the tissue was busy getting ripped and leaving residue on his face. Alex snatched the water and tissue from him, "just stop, please." He had had enough of his brother's stupidity for the entire night, on top of getting them into this trouble. They stayed in the car all silent and bored, as the night was getting deeper. They were feeling sleepy and trying their hardest to not sleep. "Okay, get out of the car." Alex instructed. "We can't sleep. What if he wakes up and tries to kidnap us." They looked at him with weird faces letting him know that they thought what he was saying was bizarre. "We are the Ryder brothers and what if he knows that and tries to get a ransom out of us." Tim and Kyle didn't think what he was saying had any sense but they obeyed because they were tired of his bullsh*t. The whole night they walked around their car, all tired and sleepy but trying their best not to pass out from their sleep. Morning finally came and they waited with anticipation for Scar to wake up but he wasn't even moving. "Is he dead?" Tim asked seeing that it was already 9 a.m. They opened the car and checked on him and he was breathing just still. "So nobody really called his phone just to find out where he was after he said he was going to meet his friends and never came home?" Alex asked. "I told you, he might not have family." Kyle answered. "Ahh wake up!!" Alex screamed shaking him." As if right on cue, Scar suddenly said, "turn the volume down please." He was trying to open his eyes but they were heavy. "Wake up!" Tim helped his big brother shake Scar from his sleep. "Ohh my god I'm going to kill you guys!" Scar exlaimed making Tim and Alex immediately remove their hands from him. He rolled off the backseat and fell on the car floor. It didn't hurt as much but his ribs felt an impact considering the middle part of the car floor. "Ouch!" That made him shoot his eyes open. He tried to stand up but the space was narrow and his head was killing him not to mention that his body was feeling heavy. Seeing him struggle to get up, Tim dragged him from the car and helped him stand on his feet. The sun was not so kind on his eyes. With all that hardness on his body he turned around to look at his surroundings and look at the people in front of him, who were staring at him. Suddenly the events of last night came to him in a rush, and he was processing them when he suddenly had an urge to throw up. "Bathroom, I need the bathroom." He said urgently and Kyle pointed it to him which he sprinted to it. "Okay let's go." Alex clapped his hands together proceeding to enter the car. "We can't just leave him here." Kyle told his big brother, "why not?" He asked exasperated. "Look we can just drop him off somewhere along the way and after that he can find his way back home." Kyle told them what he thought. Alex nodded slowly, "and in the meantime he will continue to recognize and try to befriend us right." He said sarcastically. "Look we won't ever see him again even if he tries to get close to us, but we are bad people if-" his speech was cut off with Scar coming back. "What are you guys talking about?" He asked politely. "Nothing. Are you feeling better?" Tim was definitely brushing him off. "Yeah thank you guys very much for taking care of me, but I do have one question." They all looked at him in anticipation. "Are you guys living in your car?" The blank stares from them indicated that they wanted him to elaborate. "I mean why are we at the gas station?" He asked looking around. "Ohh we didn't want want you to wake up in a strange house thinking we did something to you." Kyle explained with a small smile. "Wait you don't know us?" Tim asked surprised. Everybody living in the city of New York knew them, where the hell was he from? He squinted his eyes, "Am I supposed to?" He asked them and they exchanged looks between them. It was the first time they met someone who didn't know the Ryder brothers. The brothers who built their fortunes from scratch and now they own several chains of hotels in the city and a few outside of the city. "No, don't worry about it." Scar looked at them suspiciously. "Get in the car and we will drop you off at your house." Scar suddenly became shocked, "no!" He exclaimed reaching his hand towards them to stop them. They looked at him suspiciously, he composed himself. "Can you guys drop me off at a doctors office, I just need to get myself checked up." He cleared his throat. "Okay get in." Alex instructed from inside the car. They started off on the road, it was quiet at first but Scar was still curious. "So who are you guys?" He asked, "I'm Kyle, this is my big brother Alex and the one you're sitting with in the back is Tim, our youngest brother." Kyle answered him without turning his head and Tim gave Scar a big smile after they said his name. "We are the Ryder brothers." Tim added after his brother. Scar slowly nodded, "and why should I know yoy guys?" He asked but Alex turned from the passenger seat and said, "you don't have to, we were just pulling your leg earlier." Scar reluctantly agreed. "So what's your name?" Tim asked. "I'm Scar." He said. "Ohh like from the Lion King?" Alex chimed in. "No." Scar shook his head, "my full name is Scarlett but people call me Scar." Alex couldn't control himself he just burst out laughing. "You're a guy and your name is Scarlett?" He couldn't stop laughing. "Yeah, my parents wanted a girl, so my crazy mom didn't give up on the dream of naming her first born child Scarlett." He answered unbothered. "Sorry for my brother, sometimes he's inappropriate." Tim apologized but Scar was unbothered as he shook his head to let him know that he wasn't offended. He had passed the stage to be offended years ago when his adoptive parents tried to change his name but he refused. They got to the doctor's office, "which doctor is this? I have never head of him." Kyle asked. "He is my special doctor." Scar smirked. "Ohh can I borrow one of your cellphones, I need to call my family to come and fetch me after I'm done here." He reached out his hand waiting for someone to hand him a phone. "So you have family and you didn't call them last night?" Alex was feeling irritated and Scar could tell. "Ohh if I had called them, they would have killed those kids, so it's better this way." He answered as calmly as possible but that answer seemed to scare the brothers, he could read their body language since he was trained to read body language. Alex reluctantly handed him his phone and Scar could tell he did it out of fear and he wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. Scar called someone, he knew their number from the top of his head, "can you come pick me up from the doctors office in about an hour." Scar spoke to the phone. "Don't ask questions and do as I say." Then he hung up the phone and proceeded to press the phone. "What are you doing?" Alex asked. "Blocking the number I just called so that he can't call you again, I can actually tell you're nervous about him knowing your number." He gave a small smile and Alex avoided eye contact with him swallowing hard. Scar handed him the phone, "I put my number in there, call me so I can take you guys out for a meal in order to thank you for your kindness." They all smiled awkwardly at his request, "no need for that." Alex shook his head. Scar put his hand on Alex's shoulder and looked him dead in the eyes, "ohh but see Alex I don't like owing anyone, so Im taking you guys out for a meal." He said that in a very scary tone and he loved seeing the fear in their eyes as he slowly removed his hand from Alex. "Uh... sure, we...we will call you." Alex said struggling to answer. "Okay bye." The he turned to leave knowing very well that they are never going to call him and he will surely never see them again, unless he wants to. He was happy, and he kinda liked them because somehow they had a sense to be careful around him and a little bit scared of him. He was satisfied with them, even though he rarely finds humans that interesting. Then a thought occurred to him-that he will surely see them again because he wills it.
