"KIDNAPPED"

Emma

     Someone slapped my cheek softly to wake me up which was a successful attempt "Wha- How long have I've been here?" I asked Ramirez "Hours" He answered "What do you want from me?" I asked waking up entirely.

     Ramirez smirked and walked closer "You" He said and kissed me but I bit his lips making him bleed "You're disgusting" I said with hatred and he looked at the blood in his fingers from touching his lips.

     He whipped it away and slap my face, hard "Don't you ever talk to me like that again!" He shouted "All we want is for you to be on our side... We want you to become one of us" He kneeled in front of me and I started focusing my change on my arms.

     This was something I been practising for a while now "Never" I said and spit at him earning myself another slap "I'm going to give you one more chance to do the right thing, side with us or else-" Ramirez was interrupted when I set myself free and grabbed his neck, claws out.

     "Or else what" I said through greeted teeth "You're nothing compared to me Ramirez and you'll never be. You're just a worthless and disposable Mutt caught up in the big leagues" I said and shoved my hand in his chest.

     He struggled for breath but still remained alive for I haven't pulled his heart out yet "You killed my father, helped killing Pete, Antonio, ambushed me and then kidnapped me. Who do you think you are?" I said the anger building in.

     The monster I once unleashed before about to come out "Who do you think you are!" I said feeling my canines grow larger as the changed started happening but I controlled it. I squeezed his heart and threw Ramirez away and he fell on the ground.

     As I stepped forward and closer to him, he crawled backwards and away from me "You're not so tough now are you? You are a coward who thinks he's much for hanging around with the big known Mutt's. You're nothing but pathetic" I said.

     I then positioned myself on top of him and lifted my arm up, ready to slash his throat when all of the sudden Ramirez took out a combat knife and stabbed me. He sat up and looked at me straight in the eyes pushing the knife deeper.

     "You don't know how wrong you are, Emma. Oh I'm someone. You want to know who? I'm your worst nightmare" Ramirez said and knocked me out.

I woke up for the fifth time in two hours, blood coming out of the cuts in my face, arms, legs, stomach, everywhere. Bruises covered my whole body which ached as hell.
