The naturals - one shots

Cassie + Sterling kidnapped TN2

This picks up when Cassie gets hit unconscious in the Killer Instinct🫶🏼
Sterling POV:

„You pick her up" Fuck. My ears were ringing.Cassie didn't move anymore. There was sheer panic raising up. This was the last thing I ever wanted to happen. „Pick her up" He was on edge. Why on earth did she turn around? Trying not show my vulnerability and the emotions that ran through my body, I picked her up. She was still breathing. She was only unconscious. I pressed Cassies warm body in my arms and lifted her up as good as possible. She was almost the same size at me it wasn't easy but I knew the adrenaline helped. What would Webber have done if I haven't left the house? There would be no way he could have gone inside without getting heard. „Put her in the trunk" I lifted Cassie up and tried to put her down gently. „You go in there as well" Scarlett told me ones that you had a higher chance of survival if you wouldn't go into the car even though somebody was holding a gun at you. I could easily fight him. Make noise. Knock him down. But how long would it take to wake somebody up? How much was his adrenaline pumping? Could he really possibly be stronger than me? I learned how to fight from a young age but then again, he worked in a prison, he knew how to control the worst. Maybe I would have fought. Maybe somebody would have woken up but I wouldn't take the chance. Even if I escaped he would still had Cassie. Next thing I knew was that pain ran through my body and I blacked out.

When I woke up, I saw the stars. They were brighter than usual. It was chilly outside. I breathed in, deep through my lungs. Was I dead? I turned to my side, everything hurt and then I saw Cassie. She was still laying on her back. Unconscious not moving and that was the moment when it came all back to me. Webber. I tried to sit up, not entirely so he couldn't see me in his reverse mirror. But I couldn't. My body was screaming. Everything hurt. But he hadn't hit me hard enough otherwise I wouldn't have regained consciousness. I tried a second time and it work. I breathed through my mouth trying not to be too loud. We were in the middle of nowhere just a long road and woods. Fuck. I laid back down and turned to Cassie. Maybe she had a phone with her. With my very last strength I searched through her pockets but there was nothing. No phone. I turned back to my back and tried fight back the tears. Tanner said he Redding had planned something big for the end. I was convinced it would be Dean. I was convinced I was prepared for this case. I was convinced I could do this. But this how three nights full of insomnia have treated me. I had not seen the third UNSUB coming and why did nobody ever think about the possibility that Redding wanted to end the one thing he couldn't? It was so simple and still we had so much on our mind.

The car slowed down. This would have been the perfect time to fight him but what then? We were in the middle of nowhere. I couldn't leave Cassie behind so I did the only other plausible thing: acting unconscious.

„She will never gonna make it" Cassie was gone. His sick smile made me nauseous. I should have gone first. I was a good runner, I was a good fighter and I was even good in climbing. But how good would I have been after being bound for two hours? My legs were half asleep my adrenaline was shifting into pour anxiety, so bad that breathing without losing unconsciousness was hard. I always convinced myself I went through worse. But then on some days trauma makes you stronger and on others it destroys you were it can. „Time to hunt" He left and then I heard the first shot. My entire body tensed. I wanted to throw up. I lift my head high up to the ceiling and let out a painful sob. I would be next. There was no way out. Not this time. Maybe after all those years this would be the moment I was done fighting. „Here you are" The voice was so familiar. I opened my eyes. „Dean" This couldn't be true this didn't make sense. „Are you hurt?" I wasn't able to answer his question I was in disbelief. He got you a knife out of his pocket, knelt down to me and opened up the ties that were cutting into my skin. „Fuck, Fuck" I automatically touched over my wrist tried to stand up and failed at the first attempt. Thats when it came back to me. „Cassie. You need to help Cassie" My voice was as good as non existing. He was waisting his time with me . He should help her but he shouldn't because I couldn't lose him as well. There was no good solution to this situation. Dean could sense panic spreading in my body. He helped on legs, put his arms around my rips. My head was still buzzing. „Tanner is with her. They got Webber. She is fine" His words sound so unreal. So far away. Until I hear steps approaching us again and my ex husband enters the room. I crash. He is running to me and the next thing I know is crying on his chest. „Hey, everything is ok. We came right in time" He also pulls his arms around my rips. „Can you feel my breath here? We will breath together now" And then we just stand there side by side. I concentrate on his breath and my panic decreases. It stops feeling like the world is falling down on me. Thats what I hate about Tanner after all this years he is the only person that can calm me down. Tired and exhausted I give in and let my face sink on his shoulder. He knows I am better, unfortunately we speak the same language without making a sound. „Can you walk?" He knows better than to ask me if I am ok. I nod and we leave this cabin for good. Outside a bunch of people wait for us. The paramedics immediately run in our direction and then I see Cassie. She sits on of the stretchers there are scratches all over her body but I know she is ok, I know she is a fighter and something finally relaxes in me. She is gonna be ok. „Sloane activated the tracker" I made an assumption but I knew I was right. „How do you know?" The disappointment in Tanners voice made me almost smile. „Because I did the paperwork" „Of course you did the paperwork" And there it was my ex husband actually getting me to laugh. It hurt terribly in my rips but it was good to laugh again. „And I also knew because Sloane reminds me of her"

Just finished killer Instinct again. Its my fav out of the four books and I think I officially read for the tenth time now💗 I remember reading the very first one and I actually had to wait for the second one to be published and then the third one was not translated in my mother language anymore which was the reason why I completely switched to English books when I was 13. This book series is also kind of the reason why I studied my bachelor degree in the UK and now have a Bachelor in Psychology and Criminology so yes they will always be my favourite books. I hope you enjoyed this scenario 💗
