Emotionless Control ?

Chapter 23

I become face to face with furious Carol, she is messed up, covered in blood. Her presence is confirming that the exchange did happen. I'm glad that my most trusted man is back but knowing the price, i'm not jumping from joy.

"How is she here?" Confused Demian appears from behind me along with Matt. I look at him with sorrow which couldn't be misplaced. Realisation hits him and his eyes widen before anger takes over.

"Where's Sprinkle?" He asks, his voice dangerously low. "I asked where is Trix?" He asks harsher.

"She's gone! She drugged us and left." I sigh. I have no patience for Demian's wrath.

"How could we let this happen? Do you have any idea how messed up my brother is? He's going to torture her physically and mentally!" Demian roared. Usually he would be protecting his brother but his current statement shows that he's on the edge of breaking. 

"She deserves it!" An unexpected voice hisses. We already forgot Carol who's injures must be treated. Only after a couple of seconds we realise what she said. I turn to her in puzzlement.

"What do you mean? She is your best friend, she changed her life for yours!" I reason with confusion.

"If i was in Jack's place, i would do the same. Do you have any idea what she has done?" She asks furiously, obviously not expecting an answer.

"Our beloved Trix killed Alfred Mussolini! He was your father, Demian and he was a father figure for you, Jace." Carol yells.

The room fells into heavy silence. It's so silent that we could hear a bin drop a hundred miles away. We were all deep in though, shocked of the new information. I feel betrayed, i adored Pa like my own father and he was killed by the person who i care about and this feeling isn't something that i share freely around.

"Are you sure?" Demian whispers. I can't even imagine how he must be feeling. He has always loved my Tiger ever since we were children. He used to talk about her for hours. Pa even gave him advice to win her over and now this.

"Yes, she even admitted it. I felt so sick when i heard it. She claimed that it was an accident and she didn't mean to but those were probably just excuses. My brother died because he witnessed it and Perlarosa gang wanted information." Carol spat, tears brimming in her eyes.

Demian turned abruptly and left the room wordlessly, probably to the gym  to blow of some steam. I can't blame him, i feel angered and honestly i have no fucking idea what to do.

"She told it was an accident, right? She probably spoke the truth, she would brag about it if she didn't." Matt whispers, barely believing his own words.

I want to believe it was an accident, she wouldn't kill with a motorcycle. But maybe she saw Mussolini and couldn't waste the opportunity. I feel sick but i can't stop caring. She's still in the hands of this monster. I feel conflicted.

"Matt, go and get Carol some medical attention!" I order. Matt obviously doesn't want to obey to anyone's orders but we both know that he would have done it anyway.

Matt rushes to Carol's side, supporting her. Carol is too stubborn to let anyone help her but is too weak to disobey.

"So how will we get Trix back?" Matt ask.

"I-i need to think. I made a promise, that is not healthy for Bellatrix at the moment." I flinch at her full name. I haven't used it for so long but i can not force myself call her nickname.

I promised to torture Pa's killer and i'm a man who keeps the promises, especially promises that weigh someone's life.

Matt's face falls and see anger in his eyes. He leads Carol to the chair and sits her down.

"Very well then, i have no reason to be here anymore. I was only here for my sister and since i'm always on her side, we a remain enemies. Next time i see you, our truce will be over." Matt   says with monotone, controlled voice. He fixes his cold eyes at Carol one last time. Carol flinches under his intense gaze. They really had something going on. If she had chosen Trix's side, Matt probably wouldn't leave or he would have taken Carol with her. Us mafia leaders are possessive over what's ours. But they were on opposite sides once again, only this time it's personal.

I would have made Trix mine, if the time was right but now i don't even think that i could look at her face without hate or pain.

Matt walks to the front door with power, the playful and casual demeanour gone without any trace. He closes the door with a bang.

Things have gotten so complicated, so quickly. I have no idea what to do. It all depend wether i believe Trix or not and this decision is worth Trix's life.

I haven't edited but i wanted to update. So no hate for my mistakes.

What do you think will happen between Matt and Carol, since they are now enemies again?

Please, please don't be a silent reader! I would appreciate some response.
