the fight for their lives - Domas

Chloe POV
I sit on the bed for a little longer until I finally hear the door open. "Oh my gosh Tommy! You were scaring me!" I say as I run into his arms and tears form in my eyes.
"Hey, it's ok baby. I'm here" he hugs me tighter as I cry harder. "Have you started packing?"
"Yeah. Where are we going?" I say pulling away from him.
"Australia"
"Australia!"
"I know it's crazy" he walks to our room and starts to pack a few more things into a backpack. "But we have to if we want to live. And we can't just go to the LA airport, we have to travel to another airport"
I nod hesitantly. "Okay" I was thinking when I would tell him about the baby. "Tommy?"
"Yeah baby"
"I need to tell you something"
"It may need to wait chlo im kind of in the middle of something"
I was taken aback by this. "No I'm telling you now"
"Chloe! I said can it wait!"
"Fucking hell! No! This is really important!" I start to cry again, out of anger.
"Well what is it then?!" He looks up at me, kind of annoyed.
"I'm pregnant." His eyes soften.
"Are you serious?" His voice is gentle. "Chloe that's amazing!" He hugs me and kisses me passionately, we briefly forgot about what was happening in the crazy country. "I will do anything to protect you, and our baby" I look into his gorgeous blue eyes intently and smile.
"Okay. I think we have everything. Let's get in the car. Be on the look out though because they might be around here" I nod and take a deep breath as my mind switches to reality. I am nervous about what may happen to us, they told us to stay in our houses. We're in a war.

Later...
We've been driving for an hour and we've hit a rural road. It's 8pm and it's dark. Then we see flashing lights on the road. Are they police lights? "Tommy what is that?" He pulls up to a stop and then we see them. The red hats, white tee, blue jeans, mask covering the entirety of their face. Terrorists. 6 of them.
"Chlo stay quiet. Don't say anything ok?"

Thomas POV
They come up to Chloe's window. "Get out of the car fuckers. We have guns and I don't think you wanna have a bullet in your chest?" I looked at Chloe in fear and then back up to the man.
"GET OUT NOW!" The man pointed a gun at Chloe's head. Chloe looked at me, eyes wide, full of fear and tears. My heart skipped a beat, hoping they don't shoot.
"Ok, we're getting out, just don't shoot. Please" i said calmly and put my hands up in defence as i opened the door. The man opened Chloe's door, still holding the gun to her head. Then I backed up into another man, holding a gun to my head as well.
"Get in the bus, or we WILL shoot" it was a mini bus and there was nobody else but us boarding.
I looked at Chloe and she was fearful, more tears welling in her eyes. We did as they told us, I didn't want anything to happen to Chloe, or our unborn child. They shoved us into the bus and handcuffed us at two different ends, me at the front and Chloe at the back. 2 of them stayed behind with us, making sure we don't escape.

Chloe POV
I felt sick. Nauseated. I had no idea what was going to happen to us. I just hope that death wasn't an option.
