Watching Angelica with her family was amazing. She was so carefree, laughing and smiling the whole time. Finding out more about what that fucker did to her and how she was taken pissed me off. She was too innocent and kind-heated to have deserved going through any of that.

Hearing everything made me promise to find and kill each and every one of them starting with the one that made her react the way she did to a simple nickname.

My thoughts turn to all the damage I could do to those who had wronged her. Closing my eyes I take a few deep breaths to help calm me down. Hearing Angelica yawn I sit up and look at her.

"Morning, how long have you been up?" Her voice was so groggy with sleep it was actually adorable. "Not long, you looked so cute while snoring away I didn't want to wake you" I tell her while smirking only to laugh when I see the look of shock on her face.

Once she realised I was teasing her she walked over to me and lightly smacked my arm, pouting. Not being able to hold back anymore I stand and pull her into my arms and simply hold her for a moment. Placing a kiss on the top of her head.

A deep blush to spread up her neck to rest in her cheeks. My pinching her cheeks and baby talking her on how cute she looked only caused the colour to deepen further.

I stopped being so surprised at how I acted so differently when it was just the two of us. But she brought out a different side of me that I didn't even know existed until her. Laughing at her reaction once more I let her go and walk into the bathroom grabbing clothes along the way. I shut the door but didn't lock it just in case she wanted to use the bathroom. The shower door was black tinted glass so she wouldn't be able to see much more than my shadow if she walked in.

I'm only half way through my shower when I hear the door being flung open followed by the sound of someone being sick. Opening the shower slightly I peak out and see Angelica on her knees with her head over the toilet as she vomits once more. Cursing I turn off the water and grab my towel, wrapping it around my waist. I crouched down beside her and held her hair out of the way while rubbing her back until she's done. Standing up I pass her her toothbrush and mouthwash and quickly change while she's busy.

A few minutes later she comes out of the bathroom with a bit more colour in her cheeks then she did before. "I have no idea where that came from, i felt fine when i woke up." going over to her I place the back of my hand on her forehead. "You don't feel warm, maybe it's just a stomach bug. How about you go lay back down and I'll get you some crackers and water so you at least have something in your stomach if you are sick again" she nods, looking half asleep already as she walks over to the bed and flops down. Smiling at her antics I head down to the kitchen. Luckily I bump into Doc. "hey Doc, Angels not feeling so great. Do you mind coming up and checking on her in a couple of hours" I ask her as I grab the crackers from the pantry. "Sure thing Gunner."

Before I could Thank her a blood curdling scream pierced the air, causing my heart to drop as chills rose over my skin. The scream came from my room. I take the steps two at a time with Doc hot on my heels and practically break the door in my haste to open it. Angel was curled up against the wall sobbing with my phone on the floor in front of her. Scanning the room I find no immediate danger, relaxing slightly to move but Angelica's eyes snap to mine before she runs to me, jumping into my arms and clinging to me. "Don't let him take me, I don't want to go back" her voice was frantic as she repeated herself over and over again not hearing me when I asked who she was talking about.

Her tears soak through my shirt as I rub her back and whispered reassurances into her ear in an attempt to calm her. I had no idea what had scared her so much but I swear whatever or whoever the cause was would suffer at my hands. Angelica passed out in my arms so I laid her down on the covers as Doc checked on her . Grabbing my phone from the floor I turn it on. An unknown number had messaged me a picture of What looked like a pink dog collar with the words 'baby girl' carved on it.

Frowning, I looked over at Angelica. Why was this something to upset her the way it did?
