THIRTY-SIX

NITRO

We sit in front of Kit as Wes explains to him about Rachel, and everything she has been through. Before we left the house we spoke to her, explained everything.

"We want you to work and live with some friends of ours." I start and the tears are already forming in her eyes, but she's keeping herself together. "You are not to have sex with anyone, you are not to kiss anyone, you are not to call anyone sir. You will work for a man named Kit, he is not your master, he is your boss. You never speak about us to anyone. Do you understand?"

"Was I bad?" She looks between the four of us.

"No, you're a very good girl. We just think you would have so much fun seeing how other people like you have fun. He is our friend, he will look after you. You can make some friends." Nyx wipes the tear away from her cheek. "You can live a life and one day you will smile with your new friends."

"Will I never see you again?" He places her hand on his as he wipes the tear away..

"You will, but for the next week you will be working with him away from here, and once you are back, we will come visit you, and you can tell us everything about the fun you had. Emily will be with you while you are away." I didn't give Emily the chance to think about it. While they are in Manchester for the show she will be with her sister, and she is only to talk about life before she was taken. Nothing about after it, we need her to forget that life, and be back to the old one.

"If I'm good, then can I come back with you?" she asks, giving us a small smile.

"We're hoping you have fun and want to stay, but we will talk about it once you get back."

"Yes, sir." She looks over at Emily and smiles holding her glance on her. She will remember her sister, she just needs time.

"You understand she's to be looked after, with the situation, Kit?" Wes asks him, and he looks between all of us.

"She's been through a lot. I understand, but what I don't understand is why she thinks you are her Dom." Kit points to the four of us, and my lips curl up into a small smile. "And why the fuck could this not wait until the morning?"

"We have a question for you first," Ares is the one to speak first, and waits for Kit to say we can ask it. "You ever heard of the group, The Ghosts?" Our question makes Kit laugh, as in a full laughter.

"The fucked up Halloween story. I swear it gets more fucked up every year. What about them?" Kit asks, we have to say we thought he might have some idea who they could be. "Last year, I heard he was hunting people to make them cry." So, he believes the story which is going around, I think we need to start making up some new stories about them.

The lights begin to flicker, before they all go out. "Fucking hell, has the power gone off again?" I hear Kit, and within a few seconds the light comes back on. "What the fuck?" Kit gets off his chair, and looks at Wes. "Wes, what is happening?"

"Don't be scared," Ares jokes and the computer voice makes Kit take a step back, and the four of us start laughing, as we take off our masks. "We don't kill people we like."

"You...it's not a story? What the-" Kit is lost for words, and all we can do is laugh.

"Kit, meet The Ghosts?" Wes jokingly points to us, and Kit sits back down.

"This is going to take some time to register in my head." He grabs the bottle of whiskey and drinks straight from the bottle. "Always knew there was something fucked up about you four, but...is this where all the kids you find me come from?"

"If we save them, and they are bad, Wes brings them to you, some we send to rehab," I tell him. You can see he has a million questions and doesn't know which one to ask first. "Just so you know, you don't tell anyone about us, we are still a story. Only four people know, Ares' girl, my girl, Wes and now you."

"And why are you telling me now?" he asks.

"Because the man sat next to you said we should, but because this girl is important to Nitro's girl, she's her sister. We need to make sure when we tell you the rules you follow. Not because you're scared of what we would do, but because we think of you as more than Kit the man who gave us a job. To us you're the same as Wes, the closest thing we will get to family." Nyx stops as Kit takes another glup of his whiskey. He licks his lips, and stares at us one at a time as we remove our contact lenses.

"Question, you don't have to answer." I give him a nod so he can ask. "This Rachel girl, did you four go through the same? For you to do some of the fucked up shit you did here, something happened."

Wes knows the things that happened to us, every single thing. We had to trust him, and he was the only one who ever showed us some sort of emotion for what we went through.

Ares stands up and removes his jacket, then t-shirt. "This is the fucked up shit they did to me, sold me at an auction, fuckers played with me like a toy, and I plan on killing every single one of them." He puts his t-shirt back on, and sits down, and then I remove my t-shirt.

"You can't feel fire when you live it." Kit's eyes widen and he adjusts in his chair a few times. He needs to know we trust him to share all this with him. We need to know we can trust him with Rachel.

"Fuck," he whispers. Nyx goes to stand up but stops when Kit tells him he gets the message. "So you're on a killing mission?"

"The less you know the better," Wes tells him with a chuckle. "Otherwise you'll never sleep."

"You worry too much about us," Ares jokes with him, which seems to be their thing at the moment.

"Someone has to. Kit, we understand this might be too much for you. But if you can look after Rachel for a week until I find something else." Wes turns to us, then rubs his eyes, the man has been awake a very long time and it's catching up with him.

Kit looks between us. "I'll look after her, no one will touch her. The guys I will talk to, tell them a story about why she can't be touched by them. But she will stay with me until she gets out of this...whatever you want to call it."

"We will tell you her story, as it will link to the one we've told her. Emily, her sister will be with you for a bit. We hope spending time together might help Rachel remember something." I turn to the door to see Emily, Esha and Rachel sitting in the living room, having a conversation.

"Tell me everything," Kit fills a glass for all of us, I light up my joint, then hand it over to Tic, and light another one for myself.

We start by telling Kit everything about Rachel, the story we've told her. I look over at Emily hoping that spending time with her sister will bring her some happiness.

I'm going to hate being away from her, but she needs this, and for me I only want to make her happy.

TWO WEEKS LATER

Emily

I'm finally back in London, being on the road with Kit and the group was amazing. Wicked Chaos is amazing, the stories they were all telling me about the guys, and the crazy shit they did. And some of the stories had me panicking, but it's also got me excited to see them do a show which Kit said they will be joining them next year sometime.

Which I need to ask Nitro about, Kit said it was Nyx and Tic doing the show this time.

I didn't want to leave Rachel, but I thought she needed some time alone. Nitro was right to send her there with Kit, it's making her see other things around her other than the cage she was in. She's around people who are the same age as her, laughing and joking with each other. I hope with time she will be like them.

She's still programmed the way they wanted her to be, won't look at anyone, even me. The only time she looked at me before was when the guys gave her permission too. She stands an arm distance away from everyone, again something I hope being there will break that habit.

I spoke to Rachel about the times we had birthday parties or went to the park and I would draw while she read her books. She asked loads of questions, but nothing clicked for her. When I spoke to Nitro on the phone, he kept telling me it's only been a week, then it's only been two weeks. I need to give her time.

And I'm going to give her the time she needs. I'm just happy I know where she is now. I'll go see her every other day or every night and just keep bringing memories back to her, telling her stories about mum and dad. One day she'll remember everything.

Ultimately, I need her to grow into a person without people watching over her. They watched over her for years, the two weeks I was watching her, she even asked me if the guys had sent me to watch over her again. I told her no, so not being there all the time might be good for her.

I didn't tell Nitro I was coming back home today. He was going to come pick me up in a couple of days, he was fully booked with work, and also had a few Ghost things to do, but I missed him.

Walking through the front door, I hear chairs scraping on the floor. They're not expecting me, so they are on high alert and ready to attack if it's not who they want it to be.

"Hello, Nova." I pat his head, as he's the first to get to me, he licks my head which makes me laugh.

"Hey little Tiger. What are you doing back?" Nitro walks over to me and plants a kiss on my lips.

"I missed you."

"I fucking missed you. Got pizza for dinner? Are you hungry?" he asks, kissing me once again.

"Always for pizza."

Nitro pulls out a chair for me, and I say hello to the guys.

"How is your sister?" Nyx asks.

"The same. She has asked if you four will come see her tomorrow. She asked a few times actually if you guys could go. I said I will pass the message on.

"I'll ask Kit how long they are back in town, we'll pop down tomorrow." Nyx gets back to his food, and Nitro places a slice of pizza on my plate, and I turn to Tic laughing at his phone. Bet he's watching cartoons.

"How come you're back early?" Nitro asks.

"You were right, she needs time by herself, to work her way through everything. And I can go see her when they come back into town." Grabbing a beer from the middle of the table, Esha puts some salad on my plate, and narrows my brows at her.

"Salad?" I question.

"Does no one in the house want to eat healthy?" Esha looks at everyone, and I can't help but laugh when the four of them say no.

"Fluffy will eat it?" Tic says, and it's the first time I've heard him talk without the stutter.

"Fluffy?" I question again.

"His pet snake, don't worry it stays in his room." Nitro adds quickly because I was about to jump out of my chair. Why the hell am I only now hearing about a pet fucking snake.

"And it'd better stay there." I look at Tic, who goes back to his cartoon show.

"So, you seem okay with leaving your sister, Little Tiger." Nitro drinks his beer, and I smile, god I've missed looking at his sexy face.

"I spent years looking for my baby sister, and now I found her. I just have to bring her back to me, but maybe that's not my job and maybe that's hers." I stop for a moment, holding back tears, choking on the words. "I will see her every time they are back in town, and I hope I go one day, and she is my baby sister again."

"Kit messaged, said she was doing good. She's keeping to herself at the minute, not talking to anyone. But they will understand why she's like that. So, give her time." Nitro pulls my chair closer to him, and I lean my body against his, and whisper.

"I will," taking a bite of my pizza, and smiling. "Plus, I hope Owen hasn't sacked me." The four of them start laughing.

"He's not sacked you. I've told him, there was a family situation and he completely understands and plus he's too scared to fuck with us," Nitro reassures me, and I see the guys all nodding.

"That is very true." I laugh, I mean no one wants to get on the wrong side of them. If people judge the book from the cover they look like they would start a fight for no reason, but once you open the book you'll find four men who care more about people than anyone else.

"I've missed you," I whisper to Nitro.

"And our beds missed you," he jokes, and I lick my lips because tonight I'm going to get some hot sex tonight.

"But first I need food." I grab a slice of garlic bread from the middle of the table and listen to them talking about some bike that came in a couple of days ago and how Tic is enjoying ripping it apart.

I take a moment and look at everyone at the table, this is my family now. These are the ones who protected me, even if they didn't want to, but they believed in their brother. A man I love more than anything, who will protect me, and make me happy no matter what it takes.

"You okay little tiger?" Nitro leans in closer.

"Yes, I love you." Softly kissing his lips.

"Love you too." I pull away from him shocked, and I can feel the guys watching him. "You three can shut the fuck up, I've found my girl, and I do love her, you want to say anything about it say it now?" He looks at them with a smile, and I look at Esha with a huge smile.

"Told you, he would say it."

I wait for his brothers to say something but nothing, not even Ares who I thought would have something to say.

"Can I call you lover boy now?" Ares jokes, and there it is, there was no way he would stay quiet on the words Nitro just said to me.

"Fuck you," Nitro leans back in his chair, and turn to face me. "So little Tiger, ready for a night or screaming my name?" As he put a cigarette between his lips I start laughing.

This crazy man loves me, and he's all mine.

My life is fucking amazing.

The End
