The only Hope

Hope’s pov:

I woke up in a different room to my surprise. This one was actually quite dark… I had never been in this room before.

Wait, was I tied to a chair? To be honest I was more than done with that bed, but this kind of scared me. What was going to happen?

Korse entered the room, I saw it in the corner of my eye. He was looking at something in his hands.

“Quite adorable.” He walked over to me. Now I could see what he was holding.

“Mikey and Gerard Way… Huh.” Shit, he was holding the pictures from the diner. “If it wasn’t for my information on Donald Way, I would never have guessed they were brothers.” He smirked.

I tried to look away, but Korse grabbed my chin with one hand, holding up the pictures with the other.

“But of course… You already knew, didn’t you? I bet they just told you.” He tried to see my reaction, but I kept a stern look on my face. He let go of my face and walked around me.

“Mikey and Gerard… You know, I knew the Way-part, obviously, but now I wonder, who is who?” He kept looking for some sort of sign in my face. “And of course I would like to know the names of the other two.”

I suddenly understood what was going on. He wanted their names. Maybe even more.

“I know you know. If you tell me what I want to know I won’t hurt you.” He was standing in front of me again. Gerard had no idea what I got him into… He thought his name wasn’t on the picture, but it was… Korse now knew his name and Mikey’s. Even if they would run, they wouldn’t be able to get far. Korse would put their names and faces out there, so they wouldn’t be safe anywhere anymore.

“No, you’ll hurt them.” I made sure I kept a stern face, but Korse suddenly started laughing.

“I’m about to anyway. They will come for you and when they do, I will be ready.”

“They will kill you.” I said in a soft monotone way. This did not seem to please him.

“No, no, no. I will be ready for them when they come. And they will. I mean, Gerard must be completely crazy if he let a girl like you go.”

I turned my head and saw his eyes light up. Shit, he just got what he wanted from me.

“I knew you would go for the leader of the group. Good, two names confirmed, plus the fact that you have been FUCKING one of them!”

Korse’s fist flew towards me and hit me right in the face.

“Fuck!” I yelped and shifted on the chair. My cheek was burning.

“Give me their names!” He yelled. “Otherwise Gerard over here will have really, really bad day.” He held up the picture and pouted. Sick son of a bitch.

“I will capture him and his friends and I will make you watch them die!” He threw the pictures in the air and took a step closer.

I lifted my head to look at him. “Not if you die first.” I whispered.

Korse shouted and I took another hit. This time in the stomach and it hurt a lot more.

“I… I really don’t want to do this Hope.” He was shaking. “But if you’re not going to tell me…” He sighed and his voice went low. “You know I’m a man of my word.” He was referring to me watching them die.

I sat up straight again and took even more hits. I yelped, cried, cursed and spat, but I wasn’t going to tell their names.

At least… I thought. Until I hit my breaking point. I was done and Korse could go on forever. He really wanted those names.

“You know Hope, if you don’t tell me I’ll have to torture them…”

“NO!” I panted. “Just… Don’t torture them… I’ll tell you.” I sat back up, meeting Korse’s eager eyes.

“Brandon Jackson and Mark Riley.”

Korse looked very pleased with this answer. He then gestured a Drac. What was going on? The Drac was standing behind a screen of some sort. Then I saw it shake its head. Shit, this was not good.

Korse bend over. “Sorry sweetheart, files not found…”

“Fuck!” Korse hit me hard in the jaw this time. I nearly fell over with the chair. Now I’ve done it…

“I’m going to ask you one. More. Time.”

Korse lifted my chin, it fucking hurt. I started sobbing really loud. I didn’t want this anymore! I wanted out!

“F… Frank Iero and Ray T… Toro!” I yelled between sobs.

Korse gestured the Drac again and this time he nodded. Korse came closer and stroked my cheek.

“That’s my girl.” He then walked away, but turned around one more time.

“Clean her up.” He ordered some Dracs.

“The fun is just about to begin.”
