Saved By The Devil

Pay The Piper

Aug POV

I sat at my desk finalizing all the plans. Tomorrow is gonna be the day. It's been almost 2 weeks since I've seen Layla, two weeks since I promised to help her. I've been keeping an eye on her with the cameras. E really been dogging her. I ain't never seen anyone be abused the way he did Layla. This shit had me feeling helpless and I ain't like. But watching her will to survive just made me love her more, shawty a fighter, fo real. Killing E would be too easy. I wanted this nigga to suffer. I had the squad put together a little packet on E and drop it with the FEDS. Word on the street was they planned on arresting him tomorrow morning. I can't wait to see the look on this nigga face. It's enough info in the folder to get E locked up for life. I ain't no snitch, but this nigga was wild grimy and I had to get him away from Layla. I laid down in bed checking to see that Layla was already asleep before drifting off.

Layla POV

The last couple of weeks have been rough. Evan's anger has been getting increasingly worse. There have even been a few times that I thought he might kill me. I'm just so exhausted by everything going on in my life. I think the neighbors can hear when he beats me. Every time it gets too bad there's a knock at the door, but when he answers no one is there. Lately I've been thinking about killing him. A life in jail would be better than this hell. I just don't know how much more I can take. Then there are the dreams, or nightmares I guess. I have nightmares about having sex with E, but in the dreams I want him. It started happening after he drank my blood. It could just be my mind playing tricks on me, but the dreams are happening more often and starting to feel more and more real. I decided I would take one of the leftover percs and hopefully it would keep me from dreaming tonight.

The Next Day

I woke up to the sound of things breaking and men yelling. "Get down on the fucking floor!" I inched out of bed to peak out and get a glimpse of what was happening. There were federal agents all over the apartment with their guns drawn. One of them spotted me and pointed his weapon directly at me. "Hands up!" He yelled, moving towards me. "Im sorry" I cried, trying not to move but I was shaking uncontrollably. One agents kept his gun pointed at me while another checked my room. Once he said it was clear the agent put his weapon away. "I'm sorry ma'am" he said softly, " I have to treat everyone that way until the room has been cleared and we have our assailant" he said. Walking me to the bed to take a seat. " How well do you know this man?" He asked. " Not too well" I replied. "Well then you're lucky, he's a very dangerous man. We have arrested him on 2 counts of first degree murder and several counts of drug trafficking."
"What?" I cried, dazed by the morning's events.
"Yes ma'am. You won't be able to continue living here, but we can't allow you to remove anything from the apartment just yet. You make take some personal items but that's all." He said.
"Ok" I stuttered.
I grabbed my purse and stuffed it with my toothbrush, a couple pairs of panties, and my journal. Everything else would have to wait. As they escorted me out of the ransacked apartment I was met with those familiar eyes. "Come on" he whispered opening the door to his condo. I paused to think for a moment, but ultimately I had nowhere else to turn. I followed Aug inside and he closed the door behind me....
