The Defiance novel

---- "Fuck!" The first thing on my mind was Alice. I run out of my room but took a break on my toes when my father and his men appeared on the hallway where that should've taken me to where Alice was. "Father" You should not fear anyone. You should make them fear you. My head screamed. But how could you easily get rid of the fear grown within you. This reminded me how he 'was always a step ahead of me. "How are you, son?", his voice was ice and poison.

My eyes quickly caught his men now standing at Alice's door. My hands balled in fists. Again, I was as useless and as worthless as before. 'What are you doing here?". I felt footsteps vibrated nearing behind me. My father's left brow raised when his eyes landed behind me. "Your men looked unwelcoming , son", he informed. He stepped closer to me. His cane thumped on the floor which brought back my nostalgic unhappy childhood. He lifted it and pointed sharply on my chest with it.

I chose not to say any word. I knew somehow that this was the time where I should say ---- my apology even though I haven't done anything wrong. I always apologise, never minding if I did right or wrong. My father judged everything from his view. He pushed me using the same end of his wooden cane but I fought to stay on my ground. I did not move back. "You sure you wanna rebel against your old man?", he warned with his old gruff tone.

I've wanted to point a gun at him and kill him there but I had to think carefully. "You are growing some fangs and horns, Sev. Should I cut it?" Still, I just watched him. "You won't talk?", he signaled his men to leave us and I did with mine, too. I did not offer him to be in another room or for us to take a seat. It was least of my concern now. "Now, where is your bitch? Is she alright?", that was what all it needed for him to push the final button.

1 swatted his cane away from me and did what I was itching to do. "Don't direct that gun on me, son", he was mocking. " You still haven't learned anything yet" linhaled sharply when my sight drifted at the men pushing a wheelchair. Alice was limply and unconsciously sitting there. They were taking her away. He was taking her away again. I could almost felt my body weaken. He got her. The dread was ---- unnerving.

I run towards them but a gunshot was fired and a bullet hit the carpeted floor near her. I froze instantly. That was a chain reined on me again. Bounded me to his power, to his control over me. I thought I freed myself but I was held back by those dirty hands. "You should pull the trigger once you pointed it to someone. That's what I taught you and Seth, didn't I? Never let your enemy have the upperhand" My mind travelled back to what state I found Alice last time my father got her.

He was trying to break me again and I was breaking. "What do you want?". The devil smirked wider. "Just a little...favor"
