Log 21

As the angles turned on their lights and the moon woke from it's nap the teens enjoyed relaxing and taking a break from planning to kill Fletcher. Instead they talked about their pasts and what they wanted to do when this was all said and done.
"I just want'a get the fuck outta here, meet a nice chick, and grow old with my little ones by the fire." Fade said as he rested his arms behind his head and looked up to the sky.
As for the rest, that shared their own versions of living the life. Well,everyone but Kris. She was slowly falling asleep by the fire. Her lavender eyes closing as her chest rose and fell slowly with her breath.
"Oi, Snips. You ok?"

"Huh? Yeah. I'm a bit tired. I might go back to the camp and get some rest." She said with a yawn. As the girl stood Fade shot up and held a hand for her to take.

"Hey, it's a ways from our sight do you want me to walk you back?"

"I think I'm ok, thanks though." She nodded and walked into the timber with her flashlight in hand.
She got about a good half mile into the timber before she made her way back into the clearing where their tents were. She was extremely tired and kicked out the fire so she didn't have to worry about the trees catching before the boys got back or she didn't wake up in time. Kristin crawled into her tent and under her blanket. She closed her tired eyes and drifted into a well needed sleep.
Suddenly, there was a sound of her tent unzipping that woke her. Afraid that it was a Tin-Head she reached for her gun and pointed it at the entrance of the tent. When it finally unzipped she got ready to shoot, but when Able poked his head through the tent she sighed in relief, "Good, I thought you were a Tin-Head. Did you need something?" She asked putting her pistol under the bag she had in her tent.
"You. I need you." Able mumbled as he crawled into the small tent and closed the zipper. "What? Able what do you m-" She tried to ask him, but he was already on top of her.
Able was straddling her small frame as he took out a small knife and pointed it at her throat. "Able what the hell are you doing!?" She tried to move away from him but was trapped. "One word and I will slit cut your tongue so you can't speak." Able threatened.
Able took the sharp end of the blade and ran it along Kristin's clothes, cutting them free from her pale body. The cold air kissed her bare stomach causing her breath to hitch.
"Able please, stop!" She mustered from her fear filled voice, although, he didn't listen. He ran his hands down her bare skin as he reached for her pant line. She kicked from under him as tears fell from her purple eyes.
He pulled off her pants and kissed the skin of her stomach. Making his way up he snaked his hands behind her and cut off her bra, exposing her to the cold air.
"No! Able stop!" She screamed as she turned her body away from him. She tried to take her hands and hide her body from him, but failed from his hands were still on her body. Kristin twisted and screamed under his weight as he unbuckled his belt.
"I said shut up!" He hit her with the end of the belt and looped it around her face and put the leather in her mouth as a gag. She bit down as tears streamed from her eyes. He took the other end of the belt and tied her hands with it so she couldn't hide herself from him.
Once she was tied, Able ran his hands down her body grabbing at her porcelain skin. He attached himself to her neck and left bruises along her throat as his hands reached down to her cold skin beneath him.
Kristin cried in fear, she was frozen under his touch as he ran his hands along her sides and chest. He was a monster, she feared that he'd take something she didn't want to lose. "I've waited for this. Now you are mine." He smirked into her neck as his hands reached her underwear line. "Fa-!" She screamed into the gag as she turned her body to the side.
"I said don't move!" He smacked her again as one hand slipped under the only fabric that was shielding her from him.
She squealed and closed her eyes. Tears racing down her cheeks as her body was fully exposed to Able and he had the power to do with it as he pleased.
As Kristin thought it was the end for her, the tent unzipped and someone pulled Able off her.

"Lux, Asher,hold him. He just fucking tried to rape Kris." The voice was Fade as he shoved Able out of the tent. He knelt down and Kristin could hear him take off his shirt and draped it over her body. "Here, move your hands so I can untie you, don't worry I've got my eyes closed. I'm not gonna look at ya like this. That's just wrong to look at a woman like this." He said as she opened her swollen eyes.
The tears stung as they clung to her eyelashes, but she could see his eyes were closed. Although they were closed, Fade's eyes still had a look of concern on his face as she moved her hands to meet his.
When Fade cut the restraints on her wrists, Kristin instantly took the belt away and covered her body with Fade's shirt.

"Put it on so I can see what he did to you, please." He said as he waited for her to close it. "Ok, it's on." She said as she finished the last button, luckily for her Fade was much taller than her and was build bigger so his shirt covered everything.

Slowly, Fade opened his eyes and glanced down at Kristin. She looked scared and broken, "Finn....I..."

"Don't apologize. He should apologize, he did this to you. Did he get anywhere?"

"No. He just ruined my clothes and.... well..."

"That's ok. I don't need to know more. That bastard is gonna pay for this." Fade put his hand on her cheek as he looked down to her neck. The collar showed the bruising marks on her neck from Able's bites and the marks on her face from his hands. Her eyes were swollen and red from crying, and her lip was bleeding from Able's lips aggressively kissing her.
Fade slowly put his arms around Kristin as she shifted closer to him. The small girl hid her face in his chest as he pulled her closer. She clutched his white t-shirt in her shaking hands as she cried freely
into it. Though he would never admit it, he had tears of frustration welling up in his eyes as he saw the state she was in.
"Shit! Fade, Able just got lose from us. Took out Lux and now we don't know where he is." Asher yelled as he popped his head in the tent. Kristin buried herself closer into his chest as Fade tightened his grip on the ivory fabric, but he was careful not to hurt her.
"That bastard won't get far in this damn world. If the elements and Tin-Heads don't find him I'ma kill that fucking, no good, asshole, prick, fucktard my self," Fade swore, "Call Spade and the others, she should have clothes for Kris. I'm not gonna leave her, not after this. I can't and I won't. " He looked down at her and brushed a piece of her hair out of her eyes. Her breath quickened as his fingers grazed her cheek.

"I'm so sorry, Snips." He mumbled as she turned to face him. Her voice was already horse from her struggle. For what had been around an hour, had to have felt like an eternity for Kris, "I should'a followed him. I knew he would try something. I always had a bad feeling and now I got you hurt. Not to mention I got Ryan killed."

"Finn, you really are a good guy. If you hadn't have came to my aid he would have gotten a lot farther and I would be worse than I am now. Thank you and Ryan wasn't your fault. It was that fucking, no good, asshole, prick, fucktard Able." She smiled as she sat up to rest her head on his shoulder.

"Fade, Horus and Spade are on their way. How ya doing Kris?" Asher asked as Will and Lux poked their heads into the tent.
Kristin nodded and put on a smile, "I'm ok. Thanks." That was all the boys needed to hear. They nodded and went outside to fix up Lux's shoulder and wait for Spade and Horus.
As they waited, Fade put his head on top of her's and held her close in his arms . "I'm sorry, Snips. I should have gotten my ass here faster." He whispered into her hair as she shivered in the wind and cold of early morning.
