I ran through the busy streets, jostling and elbowing passerbys in a desperate attempt to lose him in the crowd. The rain soaked streets glistened from the light of the cars and my feet trod cautiously, so that those damned heels didn't slip.

My fur coat was billowing out but I didn't care as I ran for my life.

As I moved, I could hear my footsteps sounding more and more hollow making me realise to my horror that I had moved further on from the main road.

The sound of boots was more distinct now as I saw the dark figure looming on the horizon. His face was carefully hidden under the oversized hoodie but I knew him too well. Every line on his face had been memorised by me like a map.

I slipped into a narrow alley and removed my stilettos. This made me much more secure as I padded my way in the dark, my eyes had grown used to by now.

I didn't risk drawing out my phone as the light would give me away.

Whatever happened today, I just hoped Ryan would get my intact body at least. I didn't want a mutilated mass to reach his hands.

Thinking about him formed a lump in my throat. There were so many things unsaid and I could babble them all if I got a chance, which I unfortunately won't.

"There you are." a raspy voice greeted me, as rough hands grabbed mine, twisting them so that I was immobilised.

His grip was strong.

"Why are you doing this?" I pleaded.

"I want revenge. You ran away with that asshole!" he spat.

"You were a jerk. I didn't want to stay in that abusive relationship. I loved you but your vices were too much." I argued.

"Shut up!" he growled. I felt the cold tip of a revolver at my head.

"Shoot me!" I slumped against him, "That's the best you can do. You are a coward."

"Shooting you would end it too easily." he laughed, like a hyena circling his prey. "I need to claim you as mine first."

He lunged at my dress and tore it open.

"No!" I whimpered, trying to fight against him but he was too strong.

"I know you like it." his breath was scorching hot against my skin,reminding me of all the times we had spent together. "You could come back to me."

His voice was sensuous and gravelly deep with lust.

"I just want to see how that smooth skin would look with some acid on it or how about some fire?" he stroked the bare skin above my collarbones.

"Beast!" I wriggled free of his grip, quickly snatching the gun out of his hand.

"I'll kill you if I have to." I hiss with revulsion.

"You're too weak!" he mocked, moving one step closer.

My hands shook. I had never shot anyone.

I backed away, instinctively.

He took a menacing step forward.

A shot rang out.
