A Broken Soul

Chapter Seven

I felt sick as he turned and looked at me, a glint evident in his eyes.

I looked up at him nervously, waiting for him to make a move and play his hand. My breathing increased as I waited. It seemed like forever.

"Don't look so afraid, I'm not going to hurt you." he said gently.

I frowned at him in confusion.

"Unless you misbehave of course." he added.

That sounded more like the Dale I knew. I nodded at him, afraid that if I tired to speak no words would come out.

He squatted down on the floor next to me. I flinched as he placed his hand under my chin and tilted it upwards so that I was looking at him.

"How is my baby?" he asked me.

"It might not be your baby." I whispered.

"Really?" he chuckled.

"It might be Ashton's." I told him.

"You and Ashton had sex, I didn't see that coming." he smirked.

"What do you want Dale?" I asked.

"Not yet." he whispered.

I stood up slowly, glaring at him as I did so.

As he stood up, I seized my opportunity. I quickly kicked him in the groin. As he groaned, I quickly ran towards the door of the cabin. I flung open the door and looked around. I gasped as I saw nothing but trees. We were in the middle of a forest. I had no idea which way to run. My momentary hesitation gave him the advantage.

He grabbed my wrist and pulled me back towards him. He pulled me so close to him that we were virtually touching.

"What did I say about behaving." he whispered menacingly in my ear.

"Wait here." he ordered.

I nodded, as he quickly left the cabin.

A few moments later he returned.

"I have a surprise for you." he smirked.

I looked at him as he gently took my hand and led me into another room. I saw a huge man standing in the corner in front of a chair. I could see someone's legs, but the rest of the person was blocked by the man's large frame.

"This is my friend Steve." Dale said as he gestured towards the guy.

"That's my surprise." I said. I tried to pull my hand away from Dale, but he tightened his grip.

"No, the surprise is what he's guarding." Dale grinned at me.

"No, you didn't get Ash!" I cried as I began to panic.

He smirked at me and nodded at Steve. As Steve moved I saw Luke sitting on the chair. I gasped as Luke made eye contact with me.

Dale nodded at Steve again, and I screamed as Steve began hitting Luke. Again and again he hit him.

"DALE STOOPP!" I screamed.

"This is what happens when you misbehave." Dale smirked at me.

I looked back towards Luke, as Steve continued hitting him.

"DALE PLEASE, I'LL DO ANYTHING, JUSY STOP HURTING HIM!" I exclaimed.
