Melina was shaken awake. she looked over to see the grabber sqating down next to her shirtless. she wanted to throw up right there and then and scream. Fear had her stuck though. the grabber caressed the side or her face and put a finger up to his lips.

"follow me" he said quietly. she didn't want to but she was afraid of what would happen if she didn't. he kept his hand on the small of her back as they walked up the stairs. she kept her head down as he breaths began to become un even. he closed the door part way as vance slept on the mattress downstairs. Melina stood in the kitchen, she was looking around. she saw a door but the grabber was too close to make a run for it. the grabber walked over to the sink and pulled some rope that was tied to the counter. tightly. looked at her and smiled.

"were going to see how good you can cook lina" he said and she shuddered at the name. she hates the way he used it. his words left a horrible feeling in her head and stomach. she just looked at the ground. he slowly walked over to her and he rubbed her arm up and down. he pulled her closer and slowly began lifting her shirt up. she pulled her self away and tried to make a run but the grabber quickly grabbed her arm and pulled her back. he put a hand under her chin and squeeze her face.

"don't try and run" he said sharply. Melina swallowed hard.

"please, please don't do this" she said, her voice chocking in her throat. the grabber laughed.

"down worry, this'll be fun" he said and Melina knew it wouldn't. "and for your little attempt" he said before slapping her clean across her face. she yelped and he put his hand over her face. "quiet you little bitch" he said and her eyes watered. she nodded and he continued to pull her shirt up. she was in her bra and pants now and the grabber was looking her up and down. his face was unreadable but his body was. Melina felt like throwing up. she almost did. she wanted to scream and cry and yell. The grabber tied her wrists with rope. they could move to an extent but she couldn't run. he put his hand on the small of her back again and his hand was weirdly warm as if he had a fever. he walked her over to the counter where he had stuff to make bacon and eggs. she stood there for a second before she began uncomfortablely grabbing pans and moving them to the stove. her hands were shaking as the grabbers hands trailed the side of her body. his hands burned against her skin. she wanted to die in that moment. his hands were touching her in ways she didn't want to be touched and it hurt in every way possible. she felt helpless, her tears slowly began falling down her face as she cracked some eggs into a pan. his hand were rested on her hips, holding on harder than comfortable. her pants were still on but she could feel too much. she felt breath on her neck and the grabbers hands wandered to the band of her pants. as he began tugging a loud clang was heard from behind them. the grabber yelled and his hands left her body suddenly. Melina took a deep breath and turned around.

"KEEP YOUR FUCKING HANDS OFF OF HER!" vance yelled as he held the grabber against a wall. the grabber yelled and pushed vance onto the ground.

"Vance!" Melina yelled as vance tried to get up. the grabber pushed him back down and punched him in his side.

"YOU NAUGHTY BOY!" The grabber yelled as he punched vance a few times. her grabbed vance by his hair and began dragging him to the stair well. Melina tried to get out and pull herself away but she couldn't. the rope was too strong and her body was too weak. Vance was yelling and screaming and kicking as Melina watched him be dragged away. Melina sat on the floor sobbing and screaming. no one heard her. everyone was at work. she looked at the time and it read 9am. she kept weeping on the floor. the screams stopped as a door could be heard closing.

it had been 30 minutes. Melina stopped crying 10 minutes ago. she sat on the floor, motionless and emotionless. she heard the door open again but she didn't look up. she kept her head hung as the grabber walked upstairs. his hands were bloody and bruised. he looked over and Melina and groaned.

"you're lucky I fucking have work" he said  untieing her and lifting her by her under arm and pushing her down the stairs. she tumbled and rolled and hit her head against the door at the bottom of the steps. "get your ass in there and don't fucking bother trying to speak" he said and she quickly pushed herself into the basement and closed the door. as she did the door locked behind her and she leaned against it. she looked over to the side where she saw vance laying unconscious. she quickly got up and ran over to him

"vance?!" She yelled as she sat down next to him. he had scratches and cuts on his face. he didn't have any bruises but she assumed they would slowly show. she didn't care that she was only In a bra and pants. she moved his hair out of his face and she grabbed and dragged him over to the bed. she layed him there and looked around. she found her sweater on the floor next to the bed and grabbed it. she walked over to the toilet and took off the top again and dipped it in the water. she walked back over to vance and began cleaning his face. he winced as she did so and she was glad she got a reaction.

"sorry" she said softly as she cleaned his cuts and scrappes that littered his body. she sighed sadly as he layed there. she sat next to his head and put her hand in his hair. she didn't care about their 'feud' she knew she needed him if they were going to get out of there. she put her sweater on, the sleeve still damp and wet and zipped it up. she sat there and hummed next to him. she clossed her eyes and let her hand rest in his hair, just to make sure he was still there.

RECAP: the grabber brought Melina upstairs and tied her to a counter without her shirt while vance was asleep and when vance woke up he hit the grabber and was brought down stairs. they were down there for half an hour and when the grabber came back upstairs he had to go to work and shoved Melina back into the basement where she saw vance unconscious on the floor. she dragged him to the bed and found her hoodie and used water to clean up his cuts and she put their feud aside because she knew they needed to.
