The Theif of Hearts

Chapter 4

Natasha's pov

"Em I'm going out, k!" I shouted from the door so Emma could hear me. "Hey, it's 9 o'clo...." Before she could finish her sentence I ran out of the. If I didn't know Emma I would be have been asked a million question about:
Where I'm going?
Who I'm going with?
Why am I going?
All this and I'm the oldest, do you see how I get treated but anyway I still love Emma she has always been there for me when the accident happened and I had no one.

I looked side to side checking if there was anyone even though it was in the middle of the night because you never know what's going on in this city. Walking to an the underground station that was abandoned years ago, I went down the stairs and through this secret path. From the shadows a hand grabbed my arm and started to drag me deeper into the dark, me struggling to get away but the person was to strong for me. My back got slammed on a metal fence. "So do you have our money!" Kurt Turner the strongest and feared gang leader who unfortunately I owed money to. Just my luck. He had so many men behind him and two grabbing my arms. "Honey, how's it been?" I smiled at the face he gave me. Kurt had pitch black hair with eyes that could literally kill. I'm not one to get scared easily but even he scares me.

"Don't play games with me, where's my money!" He yelled to my face. "Stand in my face why don't you," I muttered to my self. "Don't worry I will bring your money by the end of the month," I told hopping that nothing would happen to me. After a while of him giving me the death stare he chuckled a little which scared the crap out of me. "I want my money Natasha!" He shouted. "Ok...ok...just give me a month then I promise I will have your money." My voice started to shake near the end. A total of 5 mins of him thinking he finally said "Fine, but you better have my money."

After he was done talking he gave a nod to the man on my right arm but I was to relieved to be alive to care. The next thing I know a fist is punching my face, it was so sudden I fell to the floor. Many times I tried getting up but the stupid men kept kicking me in the stomach and leaving brides which will kill in the morning. In the background I could hear Kurt say "That's what you get for not giving me my money." I tried getting up, fighting back but once I moved an inch his men started hitting harder until all my energy left me. Slowly, slowly my vision started to blur and my view was turning black because I was starting to slip away into a deep sleep.

--------------------------------------------------------> (Next day)

"Natasha wake up!" I heard a voice sounding like Emma. Gasping for hair I sat up quickly breathing as much air as I could. Pain shot through every inch of my body and I instantly regretted sitting up. "Slowly,slowly," Emma told me. My vision was clearing up and I could see I was in a hospital room. "Why the hell am I hear?" I asked her.

"Well excuse me, I found you not breathing in the middle of the streets, did Kurt do this to you?" After she said that I started shushing her because if anyone heard his name we would be in big trouble and with my record yeash ."Ok,ok sorry no he didn't it was his dogs that did it but any way, at least I got the deal I just have a month to figure something out," I whispered to her so no one could hear us. "Natasha, please tell me how much do you owe him?" Emma desperately asked me.

I couldn't tell her because I didn't want her to worry. To me she was like my little sister because she had grown up without parents or siblings. She didn't need to worry about these things because I made a promise to her to always look after her. "It's fine I can handle it and you don't need to know!" I told her for the thousandths time.

About half an hour later my tummy and back started to hurt so the nurse came in to give me painkillers. After that I was getting tired so I to Emma that I was going to sleep and then randomly a person came to my mind. It made me giggle a bit and a smile formed on my lips before sleep took over.
