Red is for Revenge

Stuck with the one I trusted

Without another word, I turned and sprinted down the hall, dropping the clipboard and taking Robert's hand as I reached it and he pulled me to him and took off running, me next to him running at top speed. I could hear Jesse bolting after us, yelling at everyone to back him up.

"How do we get out of here?!" I yelled over the sirens. He either ignored me or didn't hear me as he grabbed my hand and ran faster, making me stumble a little.

"This way!" He shouted, turning the corner and immediately turning and embracing me in a hug which really hurt. I was just about to ask him why he stopped when I noticed the people waiting with guns pointed at us. I gulped and touched his arm, panting.

"You, two, are in a lot of trouble. You should be happy that I spared your filthy lives." I noticed the old, tough looking guy in a uniform staring daggers at Robert. I looked up at him, a little scared to be on this side of the guns. He didn't look at me as he held me close, half turned so that he was blocking me from the guns, which I thought was kind of sweet. I heard running footsteps behind me and I looked back to see Jesse, panting. I bit my lip and turned back to the old man. "Robert, It's been a while since I've seen you. How are you doing?" I could feel Robert tense up a little.

"I know you. You killed my family. You destroyed my life." I looked at Robert.

"You're an orphan?" I asked, surprised. He ignored me and I looked at the man. "Any other shit I should know about what you did to him?" I could see Robert smile a little at the corner of my eye as I stared daggers at the man. I watched as he thought about it.

"Hm, well, I took the love of his life away from him." I frowned and looked at Robert. He looked down at me.

"No you haven't. She's safe." I could feel Robert's hold around my waist tighten. I looked at the man.

"Oh, really? Well....how's now that I take her?" He snapped his fingers and two guys walk over.

"No." He held me close and I tried to stay with him, but the guys grip was more strong. "No!" I was gripped around the waist and lifted in the arm.

"Put me down!" I started kicking and thrashing in the guys arms. I looked at Robert, who was being held back from two guys, watching me with a pained expression. "Robert!" He struggled to get free.

"No! Let her go!" I continued fighting the guy holding me. I managed to kick him in the balls and found the floor had finally met my face. As I sat up the ground, my face pulsed. It hurt. I heard stomping footsteps in front of me and continued looking at the ground. I didn't want to see the man's face. It was weird looking. I felt his hand wrap around a lot of hair and yanked me up, causing me to yelp in pain and look at him.

"You shouldn't have done that, girly. You may be the daughter of the scientist, but I'm not afraid to hurt you." I cringed my nose and the words slipped out before I could stop them.

"Your breath stinks. Ever heard of mints?" Robert gulped loudly and the man in front of me growled. I suddenly became terrified of him. I didn't know what kind of hurt he was talking about. I watched as he walked away, pulling me along by my hair. Yelping at the hard tugs he gave, I watched Robert sadly. I didn't know he loved me. Well, I knew, but I didn't know. It was obvious, but I didn't get it. Oh, geez, my head hurts. "Ow! Watch the hair, dude." I said, when he threw me to the ground in front of Robert.

"You are gonna to watch your love thrash and scream in pain so much she'll be begging to be killed. And it will all be your fault."

"No..." I looked up at Robert from the ground. "This is not your fault, Robert. Don't think it's your fault. It's not your fault any of this happened." Robert looked at me with a loving sad look in his eyes. I continued looking up at him, not saying anything as I heard a gunshot ring throughout the hallway and major pain in my leg. I screamed in pain and threw my head back, holding my right thigh.
