Dont rescue me

Chapter 8

TRIGGER WARNING AGAIN

Bella's pov
Running. I was running as I could but it seemed I wasn't moving an inch.

"Bella get your fat ass back here. You can try to run but I'll always catch you in the end."

"Daddy please don't hurt me." The fear evident in my voice. I wasn't paying enough attention and I trip over a branch I can hear his footsteps get closer and closer. I quickly crawl into the roots of a fallen tree knowing I was hidden enough. Then I see his shoes right next to my face I try to control my breathing.

"I know you didn't get far come out and your punishment won't be as bad as it was going to be originally." What did I do? I thought to myself trying not to let my breathing get too erratic. "You have the count to 3. 1..." I backed into the tree a little weighing my options. "2..."

"Okay, I'm coming out." I manage to squeak out. He moves as I crawl out of my hiding space. When I get to my feet I am quickly thrown against a tree with a hand wrapped around my neck.

"Daddy please let go. You're hurting me!"

"That's the fucking point!" His grasp began to tighten, I can't breathe I try to gasp for air nothing is working as I try to escape from his hold. He suddenly starts to shake me.

(Still Bella's pov)

I jolt up right hyperventilating. I try to get off my bed until I notice I wasn't in my bed I was in a car. "Bella are you ok?" A worried voice asks. I calm down a bit to realize I was in the car next to Vlad. "Bella please tell me your ok!" I look over to him and smile.

"I'm just fine no biggie." He gives me a skeptical look. "I promise I'm fine ok. It was just a bad dream ok?" He moves his hand toward my face I flinch at first but then calm at his touch.

"Ok Lyublyu. So about the place we are going. It's a little different. Ok? It's kind of like a tribe. My dad is like the... Tribe leader? Don't get worried." My eye brows scrunch up for a second confused.
"Okay..."

"Are you hungry?" He asks sweetly. I just shake my head. Then of course with my luck my stomach growls. "I think your stomach disagrees." I feel blood rushing to my cheeks. We stop at a small diner, Vlad quickly walks to my side and opens the door.

"Thank you." I shyly mutter. He suddenly grabs my hand. I yelp at the electric shock ripping my hand out of his grasp. He looks at me with concern.
"N-nothing I'm sorry." I apologize crossing my arms with my head down. He just opens the door for me and I thank him again. A waiter walks to us with a smile.

"How many is in your party?" I hide behind Vlad.

"Just two and we would like a booth please." Vlad answers kindly.

"Right this way." I follow the two men quietly. Once we get to a small booth I sit down cautiously across from Vlad with my head still down. "Miss?"

"Y-yes? Sorry what?" He just smiles at me.

"Here's your menu, I'll be back to see what you want to drink." I just nod and look at the drink menu.

"Does anything sound good to drink?" My head snaps up to Vlad forgetting he was there for a moment. I give him a small smile.

"A cherry Dr. Pepper sounds great.." I mutter not wanting to be rude and ignore him. Just then the waiter comes back.

"Alright, are you guys ready to order meals or just drinks?"

"I'm assuming just drinks right?" I just nod. "The beautiful lady here will have a cherry Dr. Pepper and I will have a cherry Mountain Dew please."
