I do know his phrases are true. Anna is right here due to me. It was I who left. It was I who stayed away. It was I who selfishly needed one thing I shouldn’t have needed, and determined to remain and let the folks round me battle for me. It’s due to me that Anna is now on this desk being brutally violated.

I have a look at Anna’s battered and bruised face and my coronary heart shatters right into a thousand items. I wish to kill Steven for the ache he’s prompted Anna. I wish to rip myself away from him and scratch his eyes out. I wish to take his valuable whip and mark each inch of his physique. I wish to wrap my fingers round his throat and squeeze as arduous as I can till my fingers ache. By no means in my life have I ever felt such hatred towards a human being. By no means have I ever needed to outright homicide somebody as a lot as I do now.

With power I by no means knew I had, I rear again and elbow Steven within the abdomen as arduous as I can. It stuns him sufficient in order that he stumbles backward and hunches over. I spin round and kick out, touchdown a blow to his balls. As he howls in ache and drops to his knees, I kick once more and get one other blow to his face.

Frantically glancing round to search out one thing to battle with, I spy a fire poker and sprint towards it. Earlier than I make it midway throughout the room, he grabs my legs and tackles me to the ground.

I attempt kicking out, however he rapidly climbs up my physique till he’s straddling my again. Grabbing a fistful of my hair, he yanks again and slams my face down onto the hardwood ground.

I really feel a crunch and rapid ache radiates throughout my face. My eyes begin to tear up and black spots seem in my imaginative and prescient from the ache. Blood begins gushing out of my nostril and mouth and the metallic style is nauseating. The power of the blow will need to have damaged my nostril and busted my lip. I work my tongue in my mouth and really feel a pointy sting the place there’s a large gash inside.

Steven yanks my head again by my hair so arduous, I’m stunned my neck doesn’t snap.

“You’re actually going to remorse that in only a few minutes, Bailey,” Steven threatens.

“Fuck you, Steven!” I spit out at him.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Such foul language, my pet. You was so correct,” he purrs in my ear.

Dragging me up by my hair, Steven pushes me ahead, again to the desk. Throughout our scuffle, creepy man by no means stopped utilizing Anna, like he had little question Steven would subdue me. Now, standing reverse of Anna and creepy man, Steven forces my physique to bend over so my higher physique is on the desk, similar to her. Along with his hand behind my neck, my face lands straight subsequent to Anna’s. We’re dealing with one another. Her eyes are nonetheless closed, however mine are extensive open, taking a look at her abused face.

“That is what’s going to occur. You and I are going to have somewhat enjoyable.” He demonstrates his concept of enjoyable by reaching round me and unbuttoning my pants after which tugging them down round my knees. “Then, I’m going to let my buddy right here have his go at you whereas I check out her.” My panties are pulled down subsequent. “After that, we’re going to do it time and again and once more.”

I begin struggling for all I’m price, however nothing works. His power is an excessive amount of for me. I do know I’ve to discover a solution to get free so I may help Anna earlier than it’s too late, however I don’t know how I can. Getting a better have a look at Anna, I can inform she’s barely hanging on. We’re so shut that I can really feel her breath hit my face, and it terrifies me once I understand the new air may be very slight.

Steven has most of his weight on my waist and again due to my struggling. He leans again barely, and I really feel him releasing himself. I’m helpless as to what’s going to occur.

Large sobs begin to break by on the first thrust of his hips. I’m fully dry so it appears like I’m being rubbed uncooked by sandpaper. Every time he slams again in, the tops of my thighs painfully hit the desk. My uncontrollable sobs are inflicting me to lose my breath. My arms, yanked behind me, are going numb from lack of blood circulation.

As I lie there with my physique jerking from the power of his thrusts, I maintain my swollen eyes on Anna. Her physique is jerking simply as violently as mine with every thrust. I cry out in agony when Steven places one hand on my shoulder and makes use of it to pound again into me. I swear my physique will rip in two at any second.

With my face so near hers, my cry will need to have roused Anna. I see her eyes barely slit open. They’re glassy and the whites of her eyes are purple, as if she has damaged blood vessels. My coronary heart squeezes on the ache I see on her face. It actually appears like somebody has reached into my chest and positioned a vice grip round my coronary heart and is squeezing the life from it. The ache I really feel from Steven’s punishing rape is nothing in comparison with the ache I really feel at seeing Anna surrender the battle. And I do know, she’s giving up. Her physique could also be right here, however her thoughts shouldn’t be and her soul is slipping away.

“I’m so sorry, Anna. I’m so, so sorry,” I whisper to her on a ragged cry. “Don’t surrender. Don’t allow them to win. We’ll get out of this. Please,” I encourage her, however I’m scared it’s for nothing. I’m scared she’s previous the purpose of restoration. I’m afraid that if we do come out of this alive, her physique might principally heal however her thoughts by no means will.

My very own ache forgotten, I transfer my head just a few inches so I can place my brow towards hers, attempting to offer her consolation. I don’t know if it really works, however I need—no, want—her to know I’m together with her. I don’t know if she will truly see me or not, however I hope she will sense me there together with her and know that somebody who cares about her is there. That this ugly place and these horrible persons are not the one ones round.

I shut my eyes and ship up a silent prayer. Please God, let her be okay. Please, allow us to each, however particularly Anna, get well from this. Please let somebody come for us.

As we’re each getting out of the truck, I see headlights approaching us. It pulls in behind my truck and I watch as Mac and an officer get out and stroll towards us.

I attain below my seat and pull out two small flashlights and throw one to Nick. Mac and the officer stroll up with their very own flashlights simply as Nick and I begin jogging down the grime street. None of us communicate, already understanding what must be accomplished. Assess the state of affairs as finest we are able to, get in and get the women out, and presumably kill Steven. Nicely, the final half was silently added by me. I nonetheless haven’t determined but if I’m simply going my maim him or fully destroy him.

As we come as much as the clearing the place the cabin sits, my intestine clenches on the considered the injury Steven has already inflicted. I do know deep down that what we’re about to stroll into isn’t going to be good. He’s had them too lengthy, and from what Bailey’s informed me about him, he’s one sick son of a bitch. My fingers ball into fists so arduous that the hand holding the flashlight cramps.

We gradual to a stroll as we get nearer to the rundown construction, simply retaining to the shadows. The wooden slats that make up the siding are actually falling off and hanging by single nails. Within the dim gentle, I can see the curtains on the home windows, The glass is soiled and dull-looking. The display screen door is now not hanging however is leaning propped up beside the doorway. The porch is sagging and you’ll see elements of the ceiling have fallen down.

We stroll quietly as much as the home windows on both facet of the porch and attempt to peer inside. The curtains block our view. Frustration hits me and I clench my enamel to maintain from cursing. Mac quietly whistles to me and Nick to catch our consideration. He flicks his fingers to point he desires us to stroll across the reverse facet of the home to him.

Nick and I slowly make our method round to the again of the cabin, stopping at every window attempting to get a glimpse inside, with no luck. Every fucking window has a thick curtain. Impatience claws at me and it takes every part I’ve to not bust my method by the door.

Simply as I’m about to do exactly that, Mac is at our sides, whispering, “You and Officer Garrett go across the entrance. Nick and I’ll keep again right here. From the time you begin strolling round, wait thirty seconds after which burst by the entrance door. Nick and I’ll do the identical again right here. Yours and Nick’s job is to get to the women and get them out. Officer Garrett and I’ll maintain Steven and his buddy. Received it?”
