Maybe ignorance is bliss...

The pouring rain washed away my tears and filled the silence around me, yet not being able to drown out the ringing in my ears from the gunshots.
I slid down the wall until I was sitting on the ground, too unmotivated to fight against the sleepiness that took over me.
As the dark began to consume me, I felt a familiar hand stroke my cheek and the comforting feeling of warm leather enveloping my shoulders.
"Why?" that was the last word I uttered before drifting off into a dreamless sleep.

                                                                       _________________________
Antonella Guerrero is an aspiring young writer,  but her mentor, who also happens to be her English professor, suggests she add adventure into her own life to inspire her writing and only then will her novel be considered complete and she'll get her passing grade. She wishes for nothing more than adventure, but when that adventure comes in the form of Ezra Cruz she gets more than she wished for.

Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.

#1 in Wanted #4 in Smoking She shrinks against the wall as I lean close to her ear, pressing my lower body against hers and holding down her arms with my hands, "Never. Ever. Try and hide something from me again. The day you start to think that hiding something from my gang is okay is the day I throw you out of here. And I promise you, you will not survive." She goes ice cold as she turns so her back is to the wall and instead her front is pressed against mine. Confusion is painted over her face as she narrows her eyes, "W-what? Why wouldn't I survive?" >>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<< Avyn Lunaver has twelve piercings, boldly dyed hair, black leather jackets and combat boots.

I wrote this when I was 16 give me a break. TAKEN SERIES: BOOK ONE TW: kidnapping, manipulation, toxic/abusive relationship, violence, death, grief, self-harm, suicidal thoughts/attempts, sexual assault, non-consensual sexual content, alcoholism, stockholm syndrome, switching partners, etc. Do not read this story if you get triggered easily. If you decide to continue, that's your own choice. This story will portray a BDSM relationship, NOT counting the toxicity and genuine abuse that goes on throughout it. Do not comment anything unnecessarily judgmental, especially if you don't know what you're talking about. Thank you, enjoy. - - - - - "Don't ever do something like that again, or I will kill you, understood?
