Masked men. Usually, when you hear about a masked man you think of a horror film or a cutesy little anime or video game that hungry little fanfic girls, love and worship. Well that all just became real for me within seconds. My name is Annabeth and I live in a small village outside of Moscow Russia. My village has been issued military help since its winter and we are not getting enough crops to feed our families. They are also here because of the criminals who flee Moscow to run from the government or law enforcement.

Russia is very secretive regarding its military so it was no surprise when I saw all the men arriving in a big truck all jump out in their camo military attire with balaclavas and helmets sometimes even military-grade snow goggles to cover their eyes.

I snap out of my thoughts grabbing the items I need from the small supply stall in front of me, paying the clerk, and then going on my way. My feet crunched against the snowy pathway back to my home. Just as I was about to turn the corner down a small path where my home was I was yanked into an isolated area with a knife pressed against my throat and a large hand over my mouth. "You are a very pretty girl you know? You would be lucky to get fucked by a charming man like me," he said huskily his warm breath touching my neck and sending violent shivers over me. I choke out a sob. "What's a matter darling?" he says trying to pull my skirt up grouping me every chance he got." you don't want me to fuck you like the little dirty whore you are? you know if it wasn't for your papa I would have done this a long time ago so keep your pretty little mouth shut and take it like a good girl." he growls just as he shoves my face into the wall getting ready to insert himself into me he was ripped off of me and throw to the ground causing me to crumple to the floor in a sob. When I look to see what's happening I watch as one of the soldiers has my dad's old best friend against the wall repeatedly punching him in the face. Once the soldier is sure that the man can't attack him he slowly walks over to me putting his hand on my cheek and whipping the tears off my cheek as I sobbed into his hand." sh sh sh sh любовь.(love)" he said continuing to rub his thumb over my dripping cheeks. I slowly calmed down as i stared at the very tall man crouched down in front of me. I take a moment to get a good look at him. He was very muscular. The cream-colored long sleeve they were required to wear fit him like a glove showing his muscles ripple every time he moved. "Are you okay? Did he hurt you or touch you anywhere else before I got here?" he asked the worry in his eyes evident. I shook my head violently no. "I didn't mean to cause trouble I'm sorry," I said in a whisper trying to wipe the tear that had started to drip down my cheek. "You caused me no trouble that motherfucker deserves to rot for what he was doing," he says in a growl tipping my chin up to look at him as he searched for my eyes. At that moment I just felt so safe and I wrapped my arms around his neck burying my face into his chest savoring the warmth passing out from the lack of adrenaline and emotional distress.

I felt the shaking girl slump into me after she attacked me with a sweet hug. Knowing what that man was going to do to her made my blood boil. I normally always keep my cool even in situations that normally make me want to rip someone's head off i knew how to stay calm, but when I saw her I just lost all self-control. I stroked her hair one last time before slowly putting my arm beneath her legs picking her up bridal style and walking towards where the military classified as a "base" but all it was was a big camp for the soldiers. I felt her slightly stir burying her head in the crook of my neck tightening her arms slightly more around my neck. I clenched my jaw making it tick as her smell was so overwhelmingly sweet. I watch as all my platoon looks at me with this small angel in my arms. Some questioning some smirking some jealous thinking that she deserves better which she does. I walk up to my tent and set her down on my cot and pull the blankets over her. Once she realizes my warmth is gone she quickly wakes up grabbing my arm. "Don't go." she whispered out with her pleading blue eyes her blond hair falling in her face once more. I crouch down by the edge of her bed and swipe her hair out of her face pulling it behind her ear so I could see her face. "It's okay love. You are safe now. I need to get someone to take care of that man then I'll be back ok?" I told her softly moving my gloved hand to her cheek and slowly rubbing my thumb across her face. She melted into my hand and whispered a soft "ok" still not wanting me to leave but understanding. "No one should come in here this is my tent since I'm higher ranked than almost everyone here, so don't worry about that once I'm done taking care of that bastard ill take you home okay?" I whispered searching for her beautiful ocean eyes. Once they meet mine and she nods okay I get up and walk out of the tent to find my boss so we can deal with the mother fucker who tried to put his hands on her.

An hour later...

I walk back into my tent to see my angel sitting with her knees to her chest and a blanket wrapped around her. She finally looked up at me snapping out of her trance. "Hey love," I whispered crouching down to her once again. "Is he... gone?" she whispered with tears in her eyes searching for answers through my eyes. I nod slowly. She nodded slowly looking back at the bed in front of her. "You know that wasn't the first time," she whispered then looked back at me searching for my expression. she couldn't see it but I was snarling. My blood was boiling but i stayed calm so she could feel comfortable enough to continue. She took a deep breath and looked around the room." he was my dad's best friend or so my dad thought... the first time it ever happened he tried and my dad walked in and ripped him off of me then beat the shit out of him and told him to never come around again. That kept him away. But..." she took a deep breath tears spilling out onto her cheeks as she continued "My dad passed a few weeks ago and... now I have no one to protect me. My dad was in bad business and it always came back to hurt me not him." she said in a sob searching for my eyes. My fists were in fists I was ready to hurt someone and fast. I took a deep breath and sat down on the bed with her pulling her into my arms. I felt her little arms wrap around my large frame as she sobbed into my chest. "Sh sh sh, it's okay he's gone for good. Your safe now I promise," I said softly stroking her hair. I intend to keep that promise. I don't know why but this girl has me wrapped around her finger within hours. "Let's get you home yeah?" she nodded her head slowly agreeing we both got up and she grabbed my hand for security. She couldn't see because of my mask but I was smiling and I had a sense of pride knowing she felt safe and comfortable around me after only knowing me for a couple of hours. Once we walk out of the tent we get a whole bunch of stares from the fellow soldiers around but she just hides behind my tall frame and I just glare at everyone causing them to continue their task. I look at her and nod telling her it's okay and we both walk in silence to her house hand in hand. Once we reach her small home she stops in front of me my hand still in her small ones. "Thank you for doing this if you'd like since your camp isn't too far you're welcome to stay with me till you get stationed elsewhere," she said in a small whisper looking at her feet and avoiding eye contact with me scared that her proposal would be rejected. I held back a laugh at her cuteness and grabbed her chin forcing her to look up at me her eyes meeting mine. "I would love that," I said letting go of her chin and watching a huge smile travel to her face as her body burst into excitement from my answer. "Okay! Follow me then." she whispers grabbing my hand and opening her front door allowing me inside her small cozy home she lets go of my hand kicking her shoes off and sliding slippers on and grabbing what looked like to be a second pair for me." these used to be my dads but they should fit you." she said with a small smile. I chuckled 'thank you." she led me to a bedroom and stopped in it. "You can stay in here for now. It's not much but I figured it was much better than the tent you were staying in." she smiled i nodded in gratitude looking at the small room we were standing in.

After a couple of minutes, I finally let my curiosity get the best of me. "Do you always wear that mask?" I asked looking at his covered face as he slowly made his way around the room inspecting it. He was running his fingers along a small brown dresser in the corner of the room. He stopped for a moment "No" he answered short and sweetly his thick Russian accent poking through his voice. I hummed in response letting him know I heard his answer. "I guess I'll leave you to it," I whispered walking out of the room and into my own room. Once I inhaled the scent of my room I roamed over to my bed and plopped down and blissfully slept the night away.
