I looked at the basement. I was still tied to the radiator and the smoke was getting underneath the door. It was warm and I could hear the crackling and burning of the house. I'd lost everything and everyone I'd love in this I'd be damned if I lost my life too. I needed to see Cairo. I'd live through things I could never imagine happening to me but they did. I wasn't fighting for my life to die in this house by the people who kept me here.

Her Seduction
"Do you love her?" He seethes, looking for any answer. The question didn't matter to him but it sure as hell mattered to us. One simple question. One question that will make or break us. I search his eyes and I can see the conflict. He's battling with himself and I want to rush over to him; hold him in my arms and comfort him in his time of need but I can't help but stay stuck in my place. "Love." He hisses like he's repulsed by the word. "I'm Elijah fucking Black. Of course I don't! I don't love anyone, especially not some girl." A sinister laugh escapes him as he looks anywhere but at me. My heart slowly begins to slow down as his words begin to settle. Everything between us was a lie. The ache in my chest is unbearable, I feel like I can't breathe yet I won't cry infront of them. I refuse to look vulnerable anymore. "If you don't love her then shoot her." The guns placed in his hands and a darkness fills his eyes. He slowly lifts the gun up, aiming it at my head. And without a second of hesitation the bastard shoots at me. Melanie-Rose Vaneti a strong-willed , determined girl with an awful past that she's trying to run away from. What happens when she meets... Elijah Black he's ruthless and feared. He kills for fun, tortures as a hobby. But... what happens when Melanie gets caught in the cross fire.

Keep Your Enemies Closer
*COMPLETED* "You think I'd murder you?" He laughed humorlessly. "I- what?" I stuttered, looking at him with a lost expression. If he didn't want to kill me, what was all of this then? "What's your name, speedy?" He asked after shaking his head. "Why would I-I tell you my name?" I tried to sound brave, but this whole scenario was just freaking me out. "I'll find out, eh?" He gave me a smirk. What? "For what? You can just kill me now. I don't want to live like this anymore." I breathed out. I really don't. His loud and obnoxious laugh pulled me out of my thoughts. What's so funny? "You're funny. But-" He took a step closer and I immediately stepped backwards. "-the stunt you pulled last week-" My back hit the wall and I gasped as he stood only a few inches away from me now. His finger lifted my chin and I gulped. "-was not." His smirk was replaced by a serious expression. His eyes were so dark and captivating, I couldn't look away. "And you know what they say, speedy?" He continued as his eyes flickered towards my mouth. I shook my head and his smirk was back. "Keep your friends close. But-" He clenched his jaw. "Keep your enemies closer."Complete

Chase Me
"Y-you can't run away you have our baby," he says screaming "Bella Open the door" He yells and hits the window. "Please come back baby I'm sorry!" He looks at me and through the window, I can tell he isn't sorry. "I'm sorry" he repeats and I feel tears coming. "You...hit me" I sob. "I didn't mean to I was drunk!" he taps the window "Please baby I will work on myself, just get inside" He whispers. I start panicking. What happens when he finds me? Will he hurt me? Or kill me? I lock the car and turn the engine on. "baby please please" He sobs. I drive out of the garage and start the GPS. Once I do that I stop on the light and put my hand on my bump. "It's just you and me, " I rub my belly and start driving. This is it.Complete

He gently held my chin in between his fingers, tilting my head up so that our eyes could lock in on each other. "You're so pretty, you make nervous," I quietly confessed. A blush made its way on both of our faces, making laughter fly past my lips. He's so cute. He shook his head and brought the blunt in his hand to his lips, taking a long drag. I curiously looked up at him through my lashes, secretly wanting to try it. As if he knew what was going through my mind, he gripped my face in his hand and bent down, pulling us closer together. My heart thumped against my chest, begging to be let free. "Uh-" He cut me off by placing his lips on mine, making my eyes widen when I felt him allowing the smoke to blow into my mouth.

My Boss
And there I stood, with my mouth wide open, my hands shaking, and my legs frozen. My boss looks up from his victim that is laying dead at his feet before wiping his bloodied hands on his shirt. As he saunters over to me, with a devilish hint in his eyes, all I could think about was how freaking pissed I was for my own body betraying my mind when it told me to run. I take a deep breath and close my eyes as he reaches his red stained hands towards my face, knowing this could be my last moment on Earth. Bracing myself for death to happen upon me, I clench my eyes shut tighter and curse myself for not being more brave. You might be wondering how I've ended up in this situation. Well, it all started 6 months ago, when I met the gorgeous stranger who now is holding my fate in his hands....Complete

"Your still a stranger and I thanked you what else do you want from me. To suck your dick or sumth'?" I asked watching a small grin forming at his lips. The grip on the steering wheel tightens. "Might as well since I saved your ass twice and your showing me attitude" he said. I scoffed biting my tongue to prevent myself from flipping this guy off. "Let me out." I said my hand finding the door handle to see it was locked. The fuck. He parked the car near at an abandoned gas station. He went in his pocket and opened the clear wrapper of red gum before popping it in his mouth. "What's your name?" He asked. My brows furrowed at his question. "I'on owe you shit so let me out this bitch" I hollered getting fed up. "What's your name?" He asked again looking over at me with a frown. He ain't ever gonna stop until I tell him. "Meesha" I lied and he chuckled cocking his head back. "I'm not asking much of you but yet you lie. Maybe I should drive you back to those gangsters-- "Bryony" I interjected.
"I could kill you," he grins holding the gun to my temple. "I wouldn't be scared," I reminded him. He trails the gun under my chin lifting it, allowing me to look him in the eyes.
