"Sergeant Beale, anything to update?" Edward Beale spun quickly on his heal, throwing up a quick salute and replying quickly.

"Sir, no, sir." His boss grunted and turned around, looking over the buildings through the rifles sight and concentrating on the monster before him with his blood boiling.

Chloe had woken up tangled in her duvet, her eyes sore and her pillow damp.

"Hey Aubrey." she said, stepping out of her room and heading to their bathroom.

"Chloe, wait. You know you can talk to me right. About everything." Chloe just nodded and stepped into the bathroom. Stripping off her top and pyjama shorts before glancing over to the mirror.

Her eyes drifted down slightly and landed on the shelf bone the sink. She stepped over to it a s picked up the thin metal that sat there, placing it against her wrist with more tears flowing down her face and her knees buckling.

"Beca, just heard that the police force and army are sending some kind of alite force. Wanna bet how long they last?" Anna said over their radios. Laughing slightly.

"Sure, I say no more than ten minutes after they get of rent of us. How about twenty bucks?"

"It's on." The line went dead after that and sure enough, some guys in black started patrolling down an ally to her left. It couldn't quite be seen by the creature, but she could.

As they got closer some kind of order was given and half of them split off, spinning to her side of the street. With that she jumped into a near by bin until she heard them pass. Although she doubted that they would be bothering about potential criminals, she wasn't taking her chances.

She peaked out of the bin to see them crouching in her spot. One of them turned around and she saw that it was actually a woman starring at her. The lady tapped the guy next to her and the face that turned around was not one she expected.

It came towards her and lifted up the bin. She tried to move yet she felt paralysed, she stared to shake and sob as he pulled her out of the bin and looked at her. He brought up his hand with familiar tattoos and hit her around the side of her head with his pistol.

Beca woke up to a door opening and slamming against the wall behind it. The sound rang through her ears and shook her brain. She wined slightly at the pain in her head but shut up as she heard a low chuckle.

"You know. I was surprised to find you first." The man's voice rang out. She managed to pry her eyes open and lift her head in slightly. The room around her was a in white with nothing else I it but the bed she was led on and the door. She was held down by straps that wrapped around the bedand there was no pillow to support her head.

She look up more to see her capture, the shock from before had worn off but it shivered though her again as she saw his face up close.

"Isn't this much better. I was so stupid the first time. Hurting you too like that, well three." She looked at him confused. His eyes turned purple as he continued rambling.

"I'm so glad I got this second chance. My own daughter came to me while I was stupidly chasing the other." Her eyes welled up and she pulled up against the straps. She tried talking but nothing came out of her throat.

"That's right Rebecca. You're both still alive. Both pineing for the other. Both thinking sinking in their own self torment. Though that's not how I want my daughters to go. That's not how I wanted my wife to go. But she had to. You want to know why she had to go?" Beca nodded. He father signed and St on the bed, seemingly getting comfy.

"She was going to leave me. She had lost her love for me and I want sure how I felt. We had been in love for so long, we had you two, we had everything we ever wanted. So why didn't we stay in love? That I don't know. But what I do know is that she could have left for anyone. Anyone I tell you. But know. She had to fall for that RAPIST BLOOD SUCKER AND GET PREGNANT!" Beca pressed herself back from his sudden out burst.

"It wasn't rape she said. I love him so much she said. I have to be with him she said. No. No she didn't. NO SCUM WILL HAVE THIER HANDS ON A HUMAN. IT'S DISGUSTING!" He had started out quieter but not calmer. Nothing about him was calm now. He flung himself up and punch the wall before exiting the room and slamming the door behind him.

Beca breathed out slowly, hoping Chloe was safe with Keiran in her room. Her dad wouldn't get to her, he couldn't. She vowed to herself then and there to protect her girlfriend from anything and everything. No matter who ended up dead in the process.

"CHLOE! CHLOE OPEN THE DOOR!" Aubrey was screaming through the bathroom door. Chloe has spent over an hour in there and now wasn't replying. "Please Chlo. I'm scared." She whimpered. Turning her back to the door and sliding down it.
