  There was a fire, an illuminated light in his eyes. She recognized his hate, his body shuddered with an intense heat. His face was illuminated by the moonlight and she saw he was drenched with sweat. His touch was like hot coals burning into her flesh. She watched him, his dark eyes sweeping over the steep features of the harsh landscape. He gripped her arm tightly then moved his hot, sweaty hands to pull on her hair. She fell to her knees with a stabbing pain.

The man who stood over her small body, fire in his eyes, was savage beast arrogantly smiling over his newest prey.

Aireen is Breathing rapidly now, Zach cupped his hand over her mouth. "I'm ready, I'll kill him. I want you all for myself." He jerked her to her unsteady feet. "I'm going to kill him. Kill him like a hunter kills his prey."

He pulled a pistol from his belt and stroked the barrel against her arm and moved upwards towards her bruised cheek. "You're going to watch me. I want you to watch me kill him.

It's important that you watch me make my kill." She sobbed as he putted her long dark hair, which had become tangled from their earlier struggle. "You will be mine. All mine Aireen."

"No." she managed to wriggle free of her captor's hard grip. dizzy from the height, she spun to face him. If she had lost her footing she would have fallen back, hard and fast to the canyon  floor. She tasted the fear as she had tasted the blood at the corner of her mouth. It was a sharp and sour taste.

Help would come, she knew, and this man holding her captive would kill them. Gun him down like a wild animal lured into a trap. "I won't go anywhere with you. They'll hunt you down, they'll find you."

He laughed his eyes burning into hers. She shivered from the coldness in his stare. She felt him studying her bruised body. His cold eyes mesmerized her, they entranced her and terrified her. Before she could escape him, he closed his hand over her arm. She squeeled in pain. "They won't find us."

"I won't go with you." she whispered. He squeezed her arm more tightly twisting it into her back. She winced with pain and whispered. "I'll get away."

"You will not leave me. You will learn to do as you are told." He laughed again at her. "You are mine now." He twisted her arm harder as she helplessly struggled to get away.

She heard the vehicle as he did and she screamed out in pain as he threw her against the passenger's side of the truck, her head striking the cracked and rusty mirror. She fell to the ground.

The oncoming truck slowed and stopped turning it's headlights off. The man behind the wheel sat, motionless.

"Jacob, he's going to kill you. He'll shoot you!" she screamed as he raised his hand to her. He let it down brutally onto her face and she rolled to the ground yet again, holding her jaw.

He quickly pulled on the rope and she stumbled back to her feet. He pressed the gun hard into her temple. "I'll drop her now." He said calmly. He smelled of sweat and rancid meat. It made her nauseous again.

  "Slowly, step out of the truck." he ordered. "Keep your hands where I can see them." Jacob stepped out of the truck, but stood behind the opened door. "Come on now...slowly." the crazed man coaxed. "No heroic stuff now or I'll blow her pretty little brains out."
He pushed the gun harder into her skull making her cry out in pain. He twisted his other arm around her neck and made her struggle for air. "I'll kill her right now. Put down your gun." Jacob froze. "I know you have one, cowboy. you killed my men"
