Peace In The Noise

Fallen Angel

A/N: More mentions of not so nice things, I did say shit was about to hit the fan again. Once again, beginning and end marked with a ** :)

Me, Ella and Oliver were sat in the living room listening to Hanna and Char argue whilst we waited for Marko to arrive. He was due here about half an hour ago. ''Where is he? He should've been here!'' I exclaimed anxiously. Ella smiled at me, a reassuring smile. ''It'll be fine Ev, maybe his flight just got delayed?'' I sighed, I had been so anxious lately and this wasn't helping. Suddenly the doorbell rang and I rushed to the door, almost tripping over the rug in the front lobby. I opened the door and Marko was stood there with a goofy smile and he dropped his bags and pulled me into a tight hug. ''I've missed you so much darling.'' He said, and he placed a soft kiss on my head. I pulled away from the hug and kissed Marko, maybe a bit too much for the porch of my aunt's house. Marko chuckled smugly and I smiled. We turned around to go inside and I could've swore I seen someone move in the trees directly opposite. ''Ev? You coming?'' Marko said and I nodded and turned back around slowly, taking one last look before I shut the door. ''Heya Marko!'' Ella greeted as we walked into the kitchen where everyone had moved to. ''Hey Marko.'' Oliver added on and Marko smiled at both of them. ''You must be Marko then! I'm Eva's aunt, Hanna.'' My aunt said, going to shake his hand. God you'd have thought this was the seventies. ''Oh! And this is Charlotta.'' My aunt said, gesturing to my sister who didn't even bother looking up from her phone. ''Sorry about her, she doesn't know basic manners.'' My aunt said and Marko smiled. ''It's okay.'' We took our seats around the table. There was just some sandwiches, some different salad items and other things you would expect in a buffet. We all ate, apart from my sister who just sat on her phone for the half hour we were gathered. The mood however was lightened by Hanna asking Marko different questions about Croatia and how he was finding Sweden.

We all decided to go for a walk through the countryside. Being stuck in the back of a seven seater with Marko was, an experience. We ended up at this hiking trail thing and me, Marko and Oliver went down a seperate path stupidly. It was beautiful though, there was snow on the tops of the mountains and streams flowing everywhere. ''Fuck, I gotta piss so bad.'' Oliver said and I rolled my eyes. ''We don't need a commentary, go behind a tree far away from me please.'' I replied and he stuck his tongue out as he walked past to find a suitable tree. ''You got any phone signal?'' I asked Marko and he shook his head. I sighed and took my phone out of my pocket and seen I was getting a bit of signal. ''Let me go see if I can get a stronger signal somewhere, don't move.'' I said as I ran off into a different direction. I got excited when it was getting stronger. However, we hadn't noticed the clouds darkening in and there was a sudden crack of thunder and it began to rain. I had unfortunately ran off so far out of the trees, I couldn't see Marko anywhere and I took a deep breath as the rain ran off my hair and onto my clothes. I put my phone in my pocket, the amount of rain on the screen made it useless. I put the hood of my hoodie up and went under a tree to try and wait out the rain. Another crack of thunder sounded across the mountain and I winced, if there was something I was afraid of it was thunder.

I heard a twig snap behind me, maybe it was Oliver? Or even Marko? I turned around and bit my lip when I couldn't see anything. I took another deep breath, it was probably just a deer or something right? I decided to sit down and I brought my knees to my chest and rested my head on them when I heard footsteps behind me. I was too scared to turn around and see who it was. ''Hello, princess.'' My eyes widened at the sound of his voice. I froze, I didn't know what to do. ''Not even an hello? Come on babe, don't be like that.'' I finally jumped up and looked at him. He was dripping wet and covered in mud. ''How did you know I was here? Why are you here?!'' I shouted and he smiled, but it was dark, yet full of lust? ''You have Marko to thank for that, the idiot went back to your house and left the door unlocked, I seen the calendar and seen you were here for the week. I had to return your keys somehow.'' He dropped the keys in front of me and took a step towards me. ''Oscar, don't come any closer!'' I said, quickly picking up the keys and holding them in my hand in a position that was ready to stab him if I had to, not that keys would do much but it gave me piece of mind. ''Or what? You gonna key me?'' He said, taking another step forward and my hand began to shake. ''That's what I thought.'' He said as he snatched the keys out of my hand and threw them behind me. ''Now, are you gonna apologise?'' Oscar slowly backed me up against a tree, I could feel his breath on my neck and as always, it reeked of alcohol. ''Oscar, don't do this, please.'' I pleaded and he smiled and grabbed my chin to make me look up at him and he attempted to kiss me.

~~~Marko's POV~~~

I leaned against one of the trees, attempting to shelter from the rain. Oliver made his way back to me and I was trying to look around to see Eva, she really didn't like the thunder and I knew she would be scared and I didn't want her to be alone right now. I went to ask Oliver if he had seen her but I was cut off before I could even talk by the sound of screaming. Me and Oliver looked at each other, and then looked around. There was another scream, it was coming in the direction of where Eva ran off to. Me and Oliver started running towards what we both hoped and didn't hope was Ev. ''Marko, what's actually the plan if Eva's being mauled by a bear or like, stabbed by a deer?'' I shrugged. ''I don't know Oliver, we won't know until we get there.'' I said, trying not to panic. We finally reached Eva and she was laying on the floor, curled up. Her mascara was running down her face and her hoodie and shirt were ripped. I ran over to her, nearly tripping up and sat her up. She looked, empty and numb. I pulled her into a tight hug and she just broke down. Oliver sat to other side of her and rubbed her back in an attempt to comfort her. ''What happened?'' I asked and she took a shaky breath. ''Oscar, he-'' I kissed her head. I didn't need to know anything more, I needed Oscar behind bars and away from my girl.
