Saved

Chapter 35

❖Anna❖

Gabriel is holding me tightly, as we suddenly hear a twig snap.
"Who's there?" Gabriel says as he pushes me behind him, protecting me from whatever kind of danger is approaching us. "Show yourself!"

For a short moment, nothing happens. Then, the two man that where following me, step out from in between the trees.
"I see you found the girl. We would like to have her back."

I take a hold of Gabriel's shoulder and I feel his arm come around, pulling me against his back.
"I think we both know that that won't happen Luca." Gabriel answers. "But I must congratulate you on your promotion. Form messenger boy to prisoner catcher. Your mother must be so proud of her boy!"
"Shut up!" Luca says clearly irritated.
"Oh, sorry. Did I say something I shouldn't have?" Gabriel reacts.

"Don't." The other guy reacts before Luca can say something again, "We're here with a reason. Let's focus on that."
"She is not coming back with you Easton." You can practically hear the venom dripping of Gabriel's words.
"We will see about that Gabriel." The guy reacts with the same tone in his voice.
Easton moves his hand towards the back of his pants, Gabriel mirroring his movements precisely and within seconds, they've both got their guns out and pointed at each other.
"Move that finger ever a small millimetre and you're dead."

"Boys, boys!" Luca interrupts, "we don't have to do this." He eyes both guns nervously, clearly not at ease with this situation. "Let's put those things away and see if we n get out of this situation in a different way."
"Scared Luca?" Gabriel mockingly asks.
"No!" Luca's voice breaks a little, showing the opposite of his words, "of course not. I just think that there is an easier way."
"Shut up Luca." Easton snarls. "The easy way is just handing her over.  You wouldn't want her anyway if you hear what we did with her. What all of us did with her."

My breath hitches in my throat.
What would Gabriel think of me when he finds out. I'm not sure if I'm ready for him to find out.

"The easy way is just handing her over. You wouldn't want her anyway if you hear what we did with her. What all of us did with her."
Behind me, Anna stops breathing, and I can feel my anger grow. The idea of someone else touching my girl makes me want to murder someone.

I quickly mask my feelings again, but Easton must have seen my emotions change because he pushes on.
"We all enjoyed her very much Gabriel. Especially Samuel did. She is so tight. I hope we didn't ruin that for you....
And you know what was the best part? She enjoyed it too. We could hear her screams through the entire house every, single, night."
Anna whimpers, "No... that's not true. Please don't believe him."
I look over my shoulder and I can see the tears starting to form in her eyes. They hurt her badly and they will pay for it.

"You sick bastard." I say as I turn my gaze back to Easton.
Unable to hold back my anger any longer, I lift the gun a little higher, I don't want to kill someone in front of Anna, she's already been through enough, so I quickly aim and shoot Easton in his shoulder.
He screams and drops his gun, giving me time to focus my aim towards Luca, who is already running away like the scared pussy he really is.

Glancing down at Easton I figure that I've got some a couple of seconds left before he will stand up again, so I turn towards Anna.
"Anna, I need you to run. The guys are on their way here, so you will probably meet them halfway. They will bring you to the warehouse and take care of you until I'm back. Now run as fast as you "
But before I'm able to finish my sentence, an am wraps around my throat and pulls me back.
"Run!"

Anna steps back, clearly debating whether or not she should do as I told her, or spring in to help me get out of Easton's hold.
I make the decision for her as I slam my head back, straight into Easton's face.
He drops his arm and I quickly turn around to take a hold of his arms, locking them behind his back.
"I said RUN!" I yell at Anna from over Easton's shoulder.
