Skyes Pov

"Ward, let me out!" I screamed, and banged on the door to this room he threw me inn. "Not a chance!" He yelled, and I pounded against the door for another minute before giving up, and sitting down on the floor. "What do you want from me?!" I asked. "My son, stole from me, so I stole from him." Ward told me, and I rolled my eyes. "Don't you think my life is worth more than twenty five grand?" I questioned. "I don't think your life is worth anything actually." Ward chuckled, and the color drained from my face when I heard the click of a guns safety lock. "You're going to kill me aren't you?" I cried. "Not yet." Ward said, and walked away. I buried my face in my hands and sobbed.

Rafe's POV

"Hey, I need a ticket to the Bahamas for tonight." I said, panting from running through the parking lot. The lady at the desk nodded and handed me a ticket before I ran through security and waited for the plane to start boarding. "Flight 1004 to Bahamas now boarding economy." A woman spoke through a speaker. I jumped up and got the seat closest to the door. I tried calling Skye, but it was sent to voicemail for the thousandth time. "Please be alive, please be alive." I whispered to myself, and stared out of the window for the whole flight.

Skye's pov

Ward opened the door, and gave me a plate with a peanut butter sandwich, and a water bottle. "You know Rafe is going to find me right?" I asked. Ward chuckled before kicking my arm, making me fall. He kicked me in my face, and my ribs. I held my cries and Ward straightened himself up. "I'm going out. Don't try anything." He slammed the door shut, and I could hear him slide something over the door.

Rafe's pov

I ran out of the airport, and hailed a taxi. "Where to?" The driver asked. "Do you know where the Cameron house is?" I asked. The driver nodded, and drove to my family's second home.

"Thanks." I said, and handed the driver a fifty dollar bill. "It's too much." He said. "It's fine. Just take it." I assured him, and ran to the front door, kicking it open. "WARD?!" I screamed, and ran through the whole house. "Skye?!" I called. "Skye?! Fuck, where are you?!"

Skye's pov

"Skye?! Fuck, where are you?!" I heard Rafe yell. "RAFE?!" I screamed and started banging on the door. "Where are you?!" He yelled. "I'm over here!" I cried as I heard Rafe's voice right outside. "Okay, hang on!" He yelled, and he shoved whatever was blocking the door out of the way. "Shit, the doors locked. give me a second." Rafe said, and his footsteps faded away. "Okay, cover your ears." Rafe yelled a moment later, and I obeyed. The gunshots where still deafening, but Rafe swung the door open and I ran to him, wrapping my arms around his neck, as his were around my waist. "Oh Thank God." He whispered. I cried into his neck, and he held me as tightly as he could. "It's okay, I've got you." He whispered and pulled back to look at me. "Did he do this?" Rafe asked, gently touching the bruise on my cheek. I nodded. "I'm so sorry." Rafe said shakily. I shook my head, and held his face in my hands, before kissing him roughly. "Oh fuck, Skye I was so scared." He said, pulling away. "So was I." I whispered, and he kissed me again. A car door slammed, and Rafe and I froze. "We need to get out of here." He said, grabbing my hand and pulling me through the house. He frze, and pushed me back into a room as Ward walked past. Rafe put his finger to his lips. "Shh". HE looked around the corner, and pulled me through the living room, to the back door. "SHIT!" We hear Ward yell, and Rafe pushed me out of the back door, slamming it as he came out behind me. "Go, Get on the boat, hurry!" Rafe said, we climbed onto the deck. He started the engine and was pulling out of the cove when we heard the back door slam open. "I WILL FIND YOU!" Ward bellowed and I clung to Rafe. "I've got you." Rafe said softly, and sped up the boat. "Where are we going to go?" I asked. "Wherever I can find first." Rafe sighed, and we crashed over a wave. "The winds behind us, so we should be okay." Rafe said, and turned to me. "I was so scared he had killed you." Rafe whispered, looking down at me. "I'm right here. We'll protect each other, yeah?" I asked. Rafe nodded, and kissed me gently. "Always."
