The Chosen One

Day Twenty

----Melinda

Today was the day we were going to separate long enough for them to report back that I ran off.  They were going to leave to find me and not return to the compound.

We were walking along and I saw a a group of vehicles coming down the highway toward us.  Liam looked at me, as did Alex.

I ran through the trees and slammed into someone.  "You must be Melinda.  Boss has been waiting for you."

Upon the return to the road, I yanked my arm free and fell.  "Well, boys, you did well.  I decided to come finish the trip myself."  Ben turned around and saw me.  I got to my feet and brushed off.  Alex and Liam looked pissed.  "Melinda."  Ben said, he tried to touch my face and I turned my head away.  He grabbed my face and made me look at him.  "A stubborn one aren't we?"  He said.

"Kidnapping me against my will and assuming that I will just hop in bed with you isn't exactly on my bucket list."  I said.

"Well, we will have to work on things."  He said.  "I trust my men took care of you."  He said.  You have no idea.

"Yes.  They were very attentative."  I said my mind wandering to the way Alex and Liam held me, fucked me, and all out took care of me.  They love me and I love them.

Ben made me sit beside him during the trip.  Alex and Liam sitting behind us.  "I trust my guess was correct, you are a virgin."  Ben said his hand slid over my thigh.

"No.  Before your letter arrived I lost my virginity."  I said moving his hand.

"Not a deal breaker."  Ben said.  "Did the scum at least wrap it?"  He asked.

"No."  I said.  He grabbed my wrist painfully.  Tears stung my eyes.  He yanked my arm and I was inches from his face.

"Boss, it was before your letter.  She didn't know she was going to get kidnapped."  Alex said from behind me.  Ben let me going and I hit the door hard.

"I suppose you might be knocked up with a bastard child then."  He said.

"I'm not late yet."  I said rubbing my bruising wrist.

"Well, then I'll take care of it when I must."  He said.

We stopped to make camp at nightfall.  Ben tried to force himself on me and I kicked him.

----Alex

I looked up from where I sat by the fire, cleaning my gun.  I'll use it on the boss once I was able.  I heard a loud slap followed by a slam.  Melinda walked away from the tent, her lip bloody and her arm cradled against her chest.

She sat down beside me and I handed her a clean rag.  "Are you all right?"  I asked.

"Not really.  Where's Liam?"

"He's first watch.  Keeps his mind occupied."  He said.  "Mel, do what you have to."  He said.  "It will keep you from getting hurt."

"I've been stubborn the entire trip.  Why stop now?"  I asked.  He smirked.

"Just be careful."  He said.

"Always."  I said.

----Ben

My junk was still sore in the morning from when she kicked me.  I tugged on a shirt and exited my tent.  Melinda was sitting with Liam by the fire.  "That smells."  She said.

"Yeah, but it will keep your face from swelling up worse than it is."  He said.  She saw me and I saw how badly I hurt her.  She stayed close to Liam's side as I walked over.

"Melinda."  I said.

"Boss, she didn't get any sleep last night.  She was hurting too much."  Liam said.

"Wouldn't be so bad if you hadn't cracked a fucking rib."  Alex said from behind me.  He got passed me and gave Melinda an apple and something for pain.
