“I wouldn’t move if I were you.”

Izel stands there, tears rolling down her face as another one grabs her around the waist holding her against him. I growl, hating his filthy hands on her. Confused on what is happening, who these men are.

“You’ve been missing for quite some time darlin’,” the older man says, walking around the truck heading straight towards Izel. “Where have you been?”

Izel shakes her head, refusing. And as much as I want her to answer his question, because I’m even curious about things, I don’t want her speaking to him.She doesn’t answer to him.

She’s mine.

“You’re going to tell me one way or another, Izel. It’ll be much easier on the both of us if you just answer the question.”

“Fuck you,” she spits at him. Oh, my feisty girl. If it weren’t for the men standing here, threatening our lives I’d fuck her into the ground. But then he rears back, punching her directly in the face.

Pure fucking rage and fury race through my veins, and I shift trying to get to my feet. I’m going to end all their pathetic little fucking lives. Only I’m shoved back to the ground, the gun goes off, and pain shoots from my thigh through my body.

“Stop, stop!” she screams, sobs leaving her body. “Leave him alone!”

“Who is he?” the man asks again. Wrapping my hand around the bullet that lodged into my thigh, I take a calming breath, refusing to let the pain overtake my head. I need to stay clear-headed to get out of this.

“He’s no one, no one.” Izel's voice breaks. “Just leave him, just please leave him. I’ll go where you want, just please…” Our eyes connect, and I slowly shake my head. I won’t let them take her, I can’t. “I’ll go.”

“You’re coming with us either way,” he says moments before Izel screams, and everything goes black.

Izel

Iwakewhensomeone'sdeep laugh echoes around the room, startling me. I attempt to rub my head, searching for what happened when I realize my arms are tied behind my back, and that I’m lying on the cold concrete ground.

"Oh, look who's awake.” I recognize that voice. I told myself I would never hear it again, and yet here I am. Lying athisfeet. I squeeze my eyes closed, refusing to see them, I can’t. “God, I’ve missed you so much.”

A sob wracks my body, and I try to wiggle away. But I can’t fight. No matter what I do I know I’m not strong enough, and I know what will happen if I fight him.

“Open those eyes,” Reaper grunts as he drags me across the concrete.

“NO!” I scream, but it’s useless. It’s always so useless.

I’m slammed against the ground, my shirt ripped open exposing my body to the cold frigid air. It’s not until my pants are being ripped down my legs and I hear the belt buckle do I scream at the top of my lungs, begging and pleading with him to stop.

It never works.

He slams into me, shoving his dick into me over and over again.

“Stop, please.” I cry, tears streaming down my face. I can’t see, not that I want to. I don’t, much less do I want to feel. But Reaper refuses to let me sink back into the black hole I created for myself.

“I’ve missed you so much, baby.” His hot breath strangles me as I cry, and something digs into my stomach. And I shouldn’t look, but I can’t stop myself. My blurry vision locks onto what Reapers doing, the knife digging into my skin. Dragging around my scared stomach. “Ah, yes, baby.” He thrusts into me. “You’re mine again.”

Shaking my head, I refuse. I’m Zions… and just like that I realize I have no idea where he is or what even happened. One minute I’m begging Zion to leave Dan’s fathers house, my grandpa, the one who looked the other way while Dan’s men abused and raped me over and over again. I didn’t have time to tell him why we needed to leave. Not before Dan’s men appeared, knocking us out.

“He’s going to kill you!” I scream. “He’s going to kill you all!”

“He’s dead.”

No. No. He can’t be.

And now I’m back in a place I told myself I’d die before I came back.

“Fuck, fuck you’re so tight.”
