Maxine's Pov:
I sat exhausted and trembling on the dirty floor, my mind racing with fear and anticipation, wondering what their next move would be.

Oh God! I hope everything is working. I expected Charlene to carry out the plan, so I could feel some relief and trust in rescue. 

I relaxed my head on the wall and thought about the whole thing. If this works out, then my revenge would be perfect. My dreams would've come true. 

Just then, the door opened, and I checked to discover it was Oscar and some of the boys.

I stared at them as they walked in and stood in front of me. Oscar was holding a gun.

"Untie her", he said, referring to no one in particular, and the boys came up to me and untied me.

Okay...so, what's next?

"Bring her along", he added and started walking away, and the boys nodded and dragged me up, taking me away with him.

They held me in both arms and dragged me roughly, and I wondered where the hell they were taking me.

We left the dim, echoing room, climbed the creaking stairs, passed shadowy figures in the sitting room, and finally reached the building's cold, foreboding facade.

"Kneel her down", Oscar commanded, and they brought me to my knees immediately. 

"Urgh", I groaned as it hurt a little. 

Next, he pointed his gun at me, and my heart pounded-was this really the end, or was there still a chance to escape?

Woahh

I stared at him and scoffed.

"Seriously? Is this it?" I asked and chuckled.

"Now, I get. You want to kill me and dispose of me, huh? Like a piece of trash so nobody would ever get to know I existed"

"Shut the f*"k up, Maxine!" He rasped and released one bullet into the air and flinched.

What?

I shuddered a little and looked at him, and he cocked the gun.

"Oscar", I called.
"You're really gonna do this? Really gonna waste me because of your parents' evil act? 

"Haven't you done enough already? They killed my parents! And now they want to kill me!"

"Shut up, Maxine!" He roared and stretched the gun out more to me, and I kept mute.

"I don't want to do this. Okay? I don't want to hurt you. But I'm sorry, if I let you go, I'll be putting the likes of my family and everyone at risk. So, I have to".

Tears formed up in my eyes as I thought angrily about it. 

How can they think of shattering my family this way?
First, it was my parents. And now - me. Why do the bitches have to win, huh?

I watched him as he brought his finger closer to the trigger, and an angry tear came rolling down my cheek.

I was about to shut my eyes when suddenly, we heard gunshots from everywhere. 

I looked around in shock and found policemen jumping through the fence and exchanging bullets with the rest of the boys in the building.

Oh my God! What's going on??

The boys beside me quickly ran to take cover, and Oscar seemed to be taken aback as well. Immediately, I stood up and kicked him.

He almost lost his balance and fell to the floor, and I used the opportunity to run and take cover as well. 

But unfortunately, while I was running, I felt something hit me.

It made me weak, and I found myself falling to the floor.

I gasped and realised I'd received a bullet on my back.

Oh my God!

I found it difficult to hear sounds anymore as the entire place started going round in circles.

But suddenly, I heard my name being called distantly.

"Maxine!!"

It sounded so far away, and slowly, I shut my eyes and passed out.
