Hey so right now i'm snowed in the house with my parents and brother. So much fun, not. I'm putting this up know because there is a chance the power will go out taking my wifi with it. It might be a while before i can update again. If the power goes out i will type as much as i can until my laptop goes dead.

Thanks

I’m jerked awake by someone banging on the bars of my cell. Due to blood loss I don’t jump up as fast as I could have and probably should have.

“Get up you lazy piece of crap.” His voice forces me to consciousness. My eyes snap open and my arms push me to my feet. The devil stairs back into my eyes and has the nerve to smirk. I try to refrain from snarling at him.

“What do you want Alexander?” Whoops looks like I didn’t succeed.

“Watch your tone with me kitten wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to you.” His smile shows that he knows what his son has done and that jerk is actually proud of him. “Well it doesn’t matter anymore anyway because no matter what you say it won’t change my mind but go ahead beg I like it when they beg.” His face shows way too much excitement for the current topic.

“I thought you liked it better when they ran.” I make my face show nothing but innocence, the perfect little angel. Alexander’s face morphs itself into a cruel and horrible snarl, A look that doesn’t really suit him. It would be like Noah snarling but then again a few hours ago I didn’t think he could rape an innocent person either so I guess today’s just full of surprises.

“You little bitch.” I just laugh

“Sticks and stones Alex but nice try.” Even his henchmen are having a hard time keeping their composure. Knowing it will be the final straw and hoping it will push him over the edge I stick my bright pink tongue ring and all toward his face and wink. Alexander lets out and almost animalistic growl and lunges toward idiot, I mean henchman number one. At first I think he’s going to hit him, at least that is until he pulls away with a nice shiny black handgun. Suddenly my smart mouth isn’t such an asset. I slowly put my hands in the air. Sure I want to die but in maybe a more honorable way like trying to escape or something, not because I acted without thinking. Before I could even start to reason with him and loud bang fills the room, smoke emits from the gun and no one even dares to twitch. I can’t feel any pain, maybe he missed? But judging by the evil look on his face it just hasn’t set in yet. Suddenly a burning starts to crawl up my abdomen and eat away at my lungs. As I start to fight to breathe I realize what his intentions are. He doesn’t want to kill me that would be too easy. My guess would be he shot me to get me awake and ready to fight. I’m going to die and it will hurt but he won’t want to get his hands dirty and do it himself.

“Noah can you come down here please son.” He looks at me with a look of a kid on Christmas and I’m the newly unwrapped gift. Noah comes lazily walking down the stairs like there wasn’t a person he claimed to love trapped and dying in his basement. Love you to sweetheart.

“What dad?” I can’t believe I went out with this guy. Never again will I go against my brother’s wishes.

“I got you an early birthday present, have fun.” With that Alexander and his army of idiots retire to the upstairs so they don’t have to watch innocent blood spill. Well what was innocent two hours ago anyway.

“I’m really sorry Jessie but unless you love me I can’t save you.” I look at him with disbelief. He raped me, took away everything I loved and expected me to look him in the eye and say I love you?

“I would rather die.” I spit in his face and laugh. What it’s not like things can get any worse.

“You little bitch. If you would just love me everything would be O.K. Why won’t you love me?” Noah unlocks the door and I run for it. Unfortunately for me he came prepared. Just as I get my first taste of freedom an eight inch dagger buries itself in my gut, right next to the bullet that has yet to be removed. My scream probably woke the dead but right now we could be having freaking world war three and I wouldn’t care.

“Why won’t you love me like I love you? Did those three years mean nothing to you?” With each word he digs the knife in further. Deciding I’m not going down without a fight I start to do what any girl in my situation would do, flail their arms and legs.

“Let go of me you Ah” I never got to call him those choice words because once again his knife was lodged in my body, this time it was my leg. He spun me around which caused me to look in his eyes. What I saw was no longer Noah. It was Noah’s body but he had changed, he went to the dark side. There was no turning back now. He was going to kill me and he was going to enjoy it. Being the incredible brilliant me I decided to do one last thing before I died, punch him in the face. And I wanted to add in the drama maybe if I can make him mad enough he will kill me faster.

“We are so not together anymore.” The eyes I had fallen in love with seemed to crackle and spark. His fist clenched and I knew he was only after one thing now, my blood. Oh I was going to die but there was going to be nothing quick or easy about it. Just as I thought it Noah lunged at me. My scream shook the house and the guys upstairs swore but didn’t come down. He knocked me to the ground and my head bounced off the concrete causing my vision to go blurry. He was yelling something at me but I couldn’t hear him and I just didn’t care anymore anyway. Who could blame me; do you know anyone who has survived over twenty stab wounds and a gunshot to the stomach? No? Didn’t think so. I drew enough energy into my body to look down at my abdomen. Instead of the abs I spent so much time perfecting there is a bloody mess of ripped open flesh and guts. And Noah still hasn’t finished his revenge, but judging by the look in his eyes he is losing his passion for the kill. I look him in his dead blue eyes and smile, he finally did what I have been trying to do for years, reunite me with my family. Tears of sorrow and regret cascade down his face as what he has done sets in.

“Oh god no don’t take her from me.” He pulls my head into his lap and strokes my hair. He turns his head toward the sky and pleads with whatever deity is out there. You know that bright light everyone is always talking about? Well I guess the afterlife didn’t get the memo and send it out because all i feel right now is indescribable pain and a very annoying nauseous feeling. My body is only warmed by the heat from Noah. My life source has long ago run cold as it was splattered among the walls. Noah is still talking but my hearing left around the twentieth stab mark. I watch his lips move but my vision starts to fade as well. I close my eyes only to peel them open when it feels like the earth is moving underneath me. My first sight makes me want to close my eyes again. A neon yellow light blinds me at first glance. My hearing starts to come back and Noah is sobbing like a baby. A few of the henchmen run in. When the noise stopped it must of worried them. They see the blood flooding the room and snap their eyes to my broken body. Their jaws hit the floor and they slowly walk to Noah acting like they are approaching a wild animal. They grab his arms and legs and rip him away. I smile as they drag him protesting and fighting down the hall way not even bothering to shut the door. It’s not like I’m going anywhere anyway. The light comes back full force causing me to look at it. Almost like when your mom told you not to look at the sun but you did anyway. Its so pretty and I swear I can hear my grandpa talking to me.

“There’s my beautiful granddaughter.” Wait a minute that is my grandpa.

“Hey sis I brought you a get well present.” And that is my brother.

“Who did this to my baby girl?” I almost laugh at the sound of my parents speaking in sink. Great I’m half way dead and my family decides to have a family reunion.

“Don’t worry sis we’ll take care of everything.” My family disappears and takes the bright light with them. Almost as soon as they leave my world plunges into painless darkness.
