Forever Vegas {A Criss Angel Story}

*Forever Vegas~7*

I had my new dress on again and was slowly walking down to the elevator, just as soon as the elevator doors opened I was surrounded by violent men that didn't even speak English, but I got their meaning from the guns that were pointed in my face. I instantly went submissive and let them drag me wherever it was they wanted me, then they mindlessly tossed me down on the floor where the other hostages were, I looked around hoping to see some kind of help by security guards or anything, but when I saw a massive pool of blood seeping from underneath the front desk I realized that these guys already killed off the security and cut all the phone cords and security cameras.

The entire Luxor was being locked down, and most of the electricity was out and at that was the point I was the most scared I have ever been in my life. For these people were there for blood because they had already killed several people for little to no reason at all. I tried to make myself as little and as quiet as possible so they wouldn't have any reason to mess with me. Not like some of the other women that were being held, they were screaming and wailing and going thru all sorts of panic attacks trying to escape from them. Not that I didn't want to run and never look back, but I was so afraid that my entire body locked up and wouldn't move. I was starting to wonder if I was as white as a sheet yet, because of how scared I was.

I covered my ears with my hands so I could attempt to drown out the screaming and the gunfire that was around me, then out of nowhere a pair of strong arms wrapped around me, I jumped out of my skin but was too afraid to scream, but instead of being hit or attacked by the monsters, I was being dragged out of the location of where the hostages were. I looked up with my teary eyes and saw the blurred image of a man trying to get me out of harm's way because I was the closest one to him. As soon as we were well out of the hostage zone the man pulled me to my feet and said we needed to keep moving preferably up to the upper floors so it would take them the longest to locate them, especially if we hid from them.

I wiped my eyes and tried to get them to come into focus so I could see my rescuer, but beens it was so dark without the proper lighting, I couldn't see his face and I was still too hysterical to really listen to the sound of his voice, because if I was in my right mind and totally sane for the time, I would have known who my rescuer was. Onward he pulled me gently further up the long stairway because beens those bastards cut the power and only the emergency dim lights were active, the elevators no longer worked. It felt like we have been walking stairs for hours, my feet were full of blisters from the high heel shoes I was wearing, I stumbled three times before I lost my grip on his hand and fell to the floor, I pulled my shoes off and carried them and walked barefoot as I asked him when we were going to stop and find a hiding place.

The man didn't look back at me, but I did hear him say we would be there soon, then I could sit down or lay down and relax while he grabbed us a bite to eat and something to drink. Because it was so dark I couldn't tell where we were at exactly but when I heard him messing with a door to a room, I asked him if we could even get into a room without the electricity being on to read the key card. He chuckled to himself as he said he had another special key that didn't need electricity for it to work. Then just like magic the door was open and he was helping me into the darkened room, but he quickly shut the door behind us and locked the door again. He walked me to where a sofa was and sat me down and told me to stay there and he would be right back with a light source.

I laid down on the sofa, and before he got back with the LED lamp I was sound asleep from the scary experience I had and we all were still going thru. The man smiled down at me as he brushed my black hair out of my face and gently picked me up with the light in his other hand and carried me to a back bedroom and laid me down and pulled the cover over me, then he got a little more comfortable and crawled in beside me, turned off the lamp and went to sleep with his arm around me. Meanwhile back downstairs in the main lobby the other people were still being terrorized and some of them were being shot and tortured, all because those bastards wanted all the money they could get from the Luxor and they were so hungry for it, that they were willing to kill anyone and everyone that got in their way or made their withdrawal harder to accomplish.

I woke up a few times during the night wondering where I was and if I was still in danger, but each time I did, that same man's soothing and comforting voice would tell me that everything was alright and that we both were still safe for now and it was ok for me to go back to sleep. Then he would pull me closer to him and give me a protective and somewhat of a loving squeeze and he'd go back to sleep. It was when I touched his hand with my fingertips and felt all of his rings on his hand and slid my hands up to his wrist where I felt his large wristwatch, that I knew exactly who my savior was...I leaped on the inside as I said to myself that my one true love and hero Criss Angel was my rescuer!! Then I wondered to myself if maybe I was upstairs in my hotel room right now passed out drunk, and just having one wild ass dream again.
