Dangerous Love

Chapter 10

Davina had spent the rest of the day and evening in that room Eliot put her in, planning on escaping that night. She hadn't seen Eliot since he had left her that morning and he had people bring in dinner for her. She refused to eat it though.

The moonlight shined over the lake. The stars twinkled and everything was quite. The house was surrounded by a forest. That's where Davina will run to when she jumps out the window and climbs down the water pipe. Nearly all the lights were off outside so it gave her the perfect chance. Davina slipped on her shoes again and slowly opened the window, with a sound. She lifted her right leg then left leg out so she was sitting. Davina took a deep breath, understanding the risk she was about to take.

Davina grabbed onto the water pipe that was beside her and used all her upper body strength to climb down. She gently placed her feet on the grass before looking left and right for guards. There was none. This seemed a bit too easy. Davina chose not to think about that though and quickly but quietly started sprinting towards the woods. The trees leaves danced in the wind. The crunches of Davinas feet stepping on the dried leaves and twigs filled the silent air.

The trees were tall, it seemed like Davina was heading no where until she saw an opening of the fence surrounding the property. She made it. Or so she thought.

Before she got to step through the opening a large figure stepped in front of her. She crashed into it. The body was firm and big. A yelp escaped her mouth as she looked up.

There he was. Looking down on her with an emotionless expression. The moonlight made him look terrifying. Davina was screwed. Her breath quickened and her heart was beating a million times per minute. "No." She whimpered. Eliot grabbed Davinas throat, tight but not tight enough to choke her. He pushed her until her back slammed into a tree. He towered over her once again. Davinas hand grabbed onto his, which were still holding her throat. Davina couldn't speak all she could do was tear up and panic. She had never been more terrified of him until this moment.

No more mr nice boy. No more opening car doors for her. No more offering her a bedroom. This was the moment she was afraid of. She should've known it was too easy. She should've known as soon as she realised the window was unlocked. It was a test. A test to see if she would escape. She failed.

"Give me one reason I shouldn't kill you right here." He said, showing no emotion in the statement. Davina couldn't do anything except whimper and cry. She tried to pull his hand off her throat, as it was becoming difficult to breathe,"You are pathetic. Worthless. Stupid." He spat at her.

"Please." Was all she could get out. His breathing was deep and quick as anger over flowed him. He took his hand that was around her throat and threw her to the ground. Davina fell on her knees and hands, finally getting some air.

"I was really hoping I could trust you Davina May. All my people knew I shouldn't take interest in a Desmond. Pathetic scum is all you are. You are nothing. I should kill you!" He yelled as he pulled out a knife. Davina turned to look at him but started crawling away on the floor. Cries and screams were escaping her mouth. This is it.

He kept approaching her as she kept crawling back. He looked insane at this very moment. But he stopped. He stared at the helpless woman and yelled in anger and threw the knife at the tree behind her. Davina screamed and shut her eyes, expecting the knife to hit her. When it didn't, she slowly opened them again to the site of Eliot frustratingly pacing and running his hands through his hair. Davina could do nothing but stare.

"Stop looking at me." He growls. He looked over at Davina with such ferocity. Davina couldn't move, "I said stop looking at me!" He yells once more. Davina finally moved and looked at the ground. After a while of him pacing around he marched over to Davina who was still on the ground and lifted her up to her feet with his hand like it was nothing. He was strong.

Eliot started to drag Davina with such anger and no care. She kept on tripping over and struggling to walk with him holding onto her.

"Please, slow down." Davina begs. He didn't listen, didn't look at her. In fact, he started to move more roughly. This process continues until they reach the house again. Davina liked it when he was yelling at her more than him not talking at all. The trap door to the basement was in the back yard. Davina didn't have a chance to look at the landscape because of the darkness and obviously the anger of the man holding her.

He grabs keys from his pocket and slams it into the keyhole and unlocks it. The door opens with a loud creak and Eliot drags Davina in there. She nearly slipped down the stairs but managed to get a hold of herself. She was still crying and has given up on fighting to get his grip on her arm off. He was more stronger than she realised.

He continued dragging her down a long, dark, concreted hall way. They passed multiple cells where people were holding the bars, begging Eliot to let them go. Of course, this had been a similar sight at her Mafias house, but instead she was going to be in a cell. He finally stopped at the end of the hall and pulled open the cell door. Without hesitation, he threw her in there like she was garbage. As she landed on the ground with a yelp, she heard the door shutting.

Davina quickly turned around, got up and ran to the bars.

"Please, please let me out. I'll listen. I wont try anything again. You can trust me. Please!" Davina begs with tears running down her face. Eliot stared down at her with his dark green eyes, full of hatred. They looked at each other for a few seconds before he turned and walked back. Davina lost strength in her legs and fell to the floor crying.
