Broken arrows

38.

I walked back to the hotel with Eve and Ryder. It was only a short walk, but it felt as if I walked across the country.

As soon as I put my head against the pillow, I drifted off to sleep, happy, content, everything was perfect right now.

And just as I thought nothing could hurt me anymore, life proved me wrong again.

Something - someone woke me up and not in a good way. I felt a slap across my face, hard and it definitely woke me up quickly.

My arms were tied to the bed. "Wake up princess" my dad said as he was sitting next to me. He was holding the knife Ryder gave me in his hands. "You bought some protection? Cute" he said with a smirk.

How did I sleep through the whole thing? He must've drugged me.
That's why I felt so tired, so dizzy.

"What the fuck do you want?" I snapped. He raised his eyebrow a little, he didn't expect me to snap like that, he probably thought I would be scared.

I wasn't anymore.

"For you to be dead" he answered. It gave me chills over my body. "Funny, because I want you dead too" I said.

He titled his head. His eyes filled with anger.

"Looks like I will win this battle though" he chuckled, pulling my shirt up and sliding the knife from right under my boob down to my belly.

I wanted to scream, but I didn't. I didn't want to give him that pleasure so I just bit my lower lip as hard as I could.

Another smirk on his face. Another cut on my body, this time a little deeper.

He was carving my body and he was enjoying himself while doing so.

I had to scream, I had to.
Ryder was staying in the room next to me. He would hear me, it would wake him up.

I wasn't gonna die here. My dad wasn't gonna kill me.

No, not now. Not ever.

I put my knee right in his balls, making him fall off of me. I quickly turned my face to my wrists and tried to unknot them with my teeth.

My heart was beating so fast, I already unknotted one wrist but I wasn't fast enough because he was already sitting back on top of me, grabbing my wrist and putting it above my head.

He was crushing my wrist, breaking it.

"You think you are tough huh?" He said as he grabbed the knife again. "That beautiful face got you a lot of perks, a rich boyfriend, a good job" he put the knife against my cheek. "It would be a shame if something happened to that, right?"

I closed my eyes, preparing myself for the pain. I already felt the blade cut in my cheek and tasted the blood in my mouth when my door got kicked open.

Ryder pushed my dad to the ground and started beating him to pieces.
"Ryder" I mumbled as I looked at them, he was gonna kill him.
He wasn't gonna stop but he had to.

"Stop it" I yelled. Ryder listened and got up. My dad wasn't moving but I knew he was alive.

He walked up to me and untied my other wrist. "Fuck Aimée" He said as he looked at me.
One wrist was broken and the blood of my cuts was dripping down my body.

"Go get Lando" he said as he looked at the door. I didn't even notice Eve standing in the door opening.
Her eyes were widened, she was in shock. "Now!" He yelled.

I felt his arms under my body and pulling me up and I just drifted away again.

I couldn't keep my eyes open, but I wasn't falling asleep right now.
