A unwanted and disgusted shiver runs down my spine when I feel the large man push himself closer to my body.

I attempt to take a small step away from him, just so his genitals where no longer pressing against my my lower back but much to by dismay, his large beefy arm closes around my waist causing my itchy jumper to regain contact with my skin.

"It was hard finding you..." The man starts to say from behind me in excitement.

"...but luckily enough my boss has people and skills" he finishes then once again tightens his grip around my waist and I stiffen with his uncomfortable grasp.

"Are you talking about my parents Beast? You still got your head up their ass?" A.p says smirking at the man holding my hostage.

The man growls in my ear causing me to let out a childish whimper.
"I don't work for those pathetic people anymore" he spits and his arm that's around my waist tightens extreme force causing me to become winded I gasp for breath loudly.

Suddenly A.p stands up, flinging his chair behind him with brutal force. I'm flung upwards and I feel the coolness of the black metal hand gun press against my temple. I gasp for breath and look at him horrified.

"Then who do you work for?" He asks glancing at me then back at the man behind me with curiosity.

Another whimper escapes my lips in shock. Doesn't he care I'm being held at gunpoint?

"You'll find out soon" The man behind me grins. "I've already called back up so don't bother escaping and...I'll think I'll keep this one" The monstrous man says pushing his filthy face into my neck. I bite my tongue so I don't cry out.

I stare at A again and watch his muscular body stiffen. His bright green eyes look back at me frozen and emotionless

"You weak little shit" The man snaps at A.P causing me to flinch. I didn't travel across America to get away from one monster to be tortured and killed by another.

During my stay at the refugee site that saved my life in time of need we were taught basic self defence.

All I had to do to this man was elbow him in the balls but then what? He could crush my ribs with the slightest movement.

"No" A.P says abruptly snapping out of his frozen state. He looks at me as if he almost read my mind about the plan I'm forming in my head.

"Let her go and take me" he adds putting his arms up in a fake, mocking surrender.

"You don't have a choice you're going with us. The girl...is just a treat" The man answers back smartly, he shoves his head into my neck again, this time taking an intake of breath as if he's smelling me.

Instead of whimpering like a hurt puppy I stay silent. I grasp the idea that I might not make It out of here.

"Okay, fine" My old boss mutters, I'm handing in my registration first thing tomorrow morning. He looks back at me once again and I glance back at him confused. I let out a slight 'oh' when I realise he must be agreeing with my terrible plan.

I attempt to steady my breathing. I feel the adreline flow through my veins at the rush of my plan.

But sudden doubt fills me, the size difference between us is horrific. If I attempted to do anything to hurt him it may not even affect him.

But if I don't we both die and I haven't come this far to be killed.

I take a deep breath, then in a burst of movement I snap my head back, head butting him in what feels like his nose. The man let's out an unearthly cry and reaches for his broken facial feature and in the process of doing so, drops his gun.

I scramble away from him just as A.P leaps over his maghongy desk with ease and skids across the floor to tackle the man. I run behind My boss in fear, I hated being weak. But in this situation hiding behind A.P might just save my life.

Because whilst the man is killing him I can make a run for it.

The man that had earlier been referred to 'Beast' let's go of his blood spattered nose once he sees A.P swinging a punch in his direction.

The man ducks the punch sending his own punch into back at him, winding his stomach causing him to double back . He regains his momentom and he back up quickly rushing again for the 'beast'.

A.P sends a side kick into the man's abdomen causing the beast to stumble back while I just stand there in shock.

The beast recovers and glances to the floor next to me, I follow his gaze and see the matte black handgun by my right boot.

"Santos get the gun!" A.P yells as he watches the beast dart towards the gun. I feel the adreline rush through my veins once again and I drop the to floor grabbing the gun.

The beast right before he gets to me, they scramble on the floor. I grasp the gun into my abdomen holding it as I was protecting a baby from behind hurt as I curl in a ball.

I hear a large gasp and my head snaps upwards, I turn around to face them with the loaded gun now in my shaky hands. I see A.P in a head lock with the beasts arm firmly around his neck. Gasping for breath.

"Give me the gun you stupid bitch!" The beast snaps at me causing me to involuntary flinch. I gulp but point the gun again in his direction.

"Drop it or I kill him!" The beast screams tightening iron grip my bosses bright green eyes widen.

"You're already killing him!" I yell back looking at his purple face with panic.

"You drop him or-or I'll drop you!" I yell back at him again. What? I heard an actor say it in an old western movie. But of course you don't spend months working in an ammo shop and not know how to shoot a basic 45 Winchester Magnum handgun.

"You don't have it in you" The beast smiles.

"B-but don't you need him alive?" I stutter knowing he's probably right. I should try and reason.

An unnatural burst of rage feels my veins. I was tired of being bossed around by guys that felt they were better than me, stronger then me. Those men that hurt and destroyed women don't deserve to live.

I tense up and stop my hands from shaking.
"Drop him or I'll drop you" I repeat angered. The best looks up at me in shock but let's Jacob go. Huh? I'm sure I'm not that scary. Surely.

The beast stares at me, concentrating on my face checking every scar, spot and crease. His eyes widen as if he recognises me.

A.P drops to the ground and gasps for breath harshly

"Shoot him Santos..now!" He screams and I push my finger on the trigger piercing the beast in his chest. I drop the gun in shock. I just shot a man!

A.P catches the gun before it hits the the ground and with one swift and easy movement he turns shooting the beast twice more. The beast drops to his knees still looking at me.
"Forgive me princess" he breaths staring at me with intensity. My eyes widen and I stagger back. He calpuses once more dropping to the ground and his breathing stops.

Princess?

"Come on get up we have to go" I'm told by A.P suddenly appearing in front of me he places his cold hand on my cheek.
"W-we need to call the police" I gasp looking at him in shock still. Jacob sighs and walks over to his office door closing it.

"There are more of him. Coming the police won't get here in time to protect us, I mean you" He corrects and the room starts to move and the light in the room starts to fade. Black spots open in my vision and heat rushes to my head.

"Im gonna faint" I whisper as darkness flows the room I gasp out then darkness consumes me.
