"Elena, I've told you time and time again to MAKE A FUCKING APPOINTMENT!" The anger that was radiating off Christian Grey was palpable. "Now, get out." He pointed to the already open door of his office where Elena was sure that his all too bright PA and her lowly assistant were smiling smugly as they eased dropped on her and Christian's conversation.
Ignoring his demand, Elena moved to sit in her designated stark white chair. She was not the least bit bothered by his apparent anger. After all it was she that taught him to be domineering. A small graced her lips as memories of their time together flashed in her mind. "Christian, darling-"
"Enough, we're finished here." Christian interrupted her. Grabbing her forearm, he pulled her up. He was refusing to allow her to sit down. The smile quickly fell from her face. This was not right, refusing her was something new and he never did anything new unless it was carefully orchestrated by her. No, this was not HER Christian Grey. There was something clearly different about him and Elena did not like it. Fear flashed in her eyes as he pushed her toward the door. "Leave Elena, and next time make a damn appointment with Andrea or don't bother showing up!" Was she losing him? No, that was not possible. She had been so careful with his training making sure that would never happen. He would always need her. He would always want her. Losing him was not an option but here she was watching it happen. The room began to close in on her. She could now feel the small shift in their universe, he was pushing her away. He was taking his first step in declaring his independence from her and she knew without a doubt that there would be more to follow. How much time did she have left with him? Did she have years or only months? How did she allow this to happen? How could she have been so blind to not see that his rise to power was poisoning him against her? In her feeble attempts to keep him with her by giving him his heart's desire, she had actually given him the ammunition to blow up their perfectly crafted life she had worked so hard to create. Her mind raced trying to find something, anything to say to him but in the end she did nothing. Elena Lincoln was allowing her pet to throw her out of his office like she was nothing but the day's trash.
OoOoO
He had cut her off. Christian Grey had refused to allow Elena fucking Lincoln to finish speaking! Anger coursed through her as she replayed the images from their argument last month over and over in her mind. Sure, Christian had yelled at her before. And yes, he had demanded that she make appointments with his stick up the ass PA. However, he had never, NEVER dismissed her from his presence! She was his everything, how dare he treat her as if she was nothing! Her grip tightened on the steering wheel, her perfectly manicured blood red nails digging into the black leather. Who the fuck does he think he is? She created him for fucks sake! It was laughable that he thought his power had made him invincible to everyone and everything, including her. The great Christian Grey would be nothing if it weren't for her! Without her, Christian Grey would be nothing more than the son of a dead whore. She would fix this, she would remind him who she was and where he would be without her. Elena Lincoln almost felt giddy thinking of how she was going to bring the great Christian Grey to his knees. Her plan was flawless, all she needed was patience in finding the perfect weapon and then everything else would fall into place. Soon, Elena repeated over and over to herself, very soon Christian Grey would remember his place and more importantly, he would remember that he belonged to her and no one else.
Night after night, Elena sat watching and waiting. She would spend hours looking for what she needed. And even tonight when she had the perfect young submissive kneeling as he waited for her return, she would refuse herself the pleasure of going to him. Yes, her hands itched to cane the young boy but she would not dare leave and go to him. No, she had a plan and that plan required her complete dedication. Ever since she had been thrown out of Christian's office, Elena had dedicated her life to one thing and one thing only. Every single day she would pretend that his little show of power had not affected her. To others, she looked like one of them, a simpleton but she played her part well, calling his office to make appointments, never showing up unannounced. The embarrassment to lowering herself, begging for his time, for his attention only fueled her drive. The plan was everything to her and there was no way in hell she would be distracted. Not now not ever, she vowed to see this through to the very end.
OoOoO
The darkness was all around her, crippling her. She ran from one dumpster dive to another, searching for any place that looked even remotely safe. During the day she could keep her nightmares at bay, she could almost pretend she was normal. However, the night was a different story. When the sun set, Ana knew that not only would the moon rise but so would her nightmares. Everything that she ran away from would come calling out to her, breaking her all over again, piece by piece. Her nightmares were why she could not go to homeless shelters, her nightmares kept her from being able to stay somewhere safe. Normally she would get lucky and find an empty house or some closed down shop but tonight she wasn't so lucky. Her heart raced as she ran across the empty street, hoping that the lonely black car pulled on the side of the road had not noticed her. The young girl had learned even before she was on the streets that bringing attention to one's self was a dangerous thing. That was exactly why she did not care that she had not brushed her teeth in weeks and not bathed even longer than that. She knew that her smell alone would keep most people from coming near her but she was smart enough to know that even her stink wouldn't keep the real evil people away, people like Stephen Morton. Stop it, Ana. Now was not the time to allow him to enter her thoughts, especially when she was still out in the open with nowhere to even remotely hide. Her blue eyes scanned the alleyway looking for a nook that she could fit in until sunrise. Thankfully her eyes landed on a small opening in the back of the alleyway that she should be able to fit in. The fit was tight and very uncomfortable but for Ana it was perfect as long as it kept her hidden until sunrise.
Two years ago, Anastasia Steele had the perfect life and then everything had changed. The life that she had grown to love was turned upside down when her stepfather, Raymond Steele had been shipped off on some Top Secret military mission that he couldn't share with his wife or stepdaughter. Carla, Anastasia's mother had been so angry that her husband was up and leaving her on some godforsaken military base. Carla swore to Ray that if he left that when he returned she would not be there waiting for him. Ray had tried to reason with Carla, telling her that this was his duty to his country and that he would never leave her or Ana if he had another choice but in the end none of his words mattered. Carla made good on her promise, not even an hour after Ray left for his deployment she had everything packed up in their station wagon along with Ana. The mother and daughter trio traveled from one roach motel to another, never stopping that was until Stephen Morton came into their lives.
Stephen Morton was attractive and cunning. He had Carla eating out of his hand from the moment the two of them ran to each other outside some small town gas station. And before Ana knew it her mother had the two of them moving in with him. Stephen was a lawyer in that same small town and he had promised Carla that he would take care of her and Ana. He worked on locating Ray so that Carla could file for a divorce but unfortunately for him, Ray could not be located. In the beginning Stephen seemed like an alright guy. He helped Carla sign Ana up for school, even took her shopping for new clothes. Things seemed to be fine and even though Ana missed Ray terribly, she was beginning to enjoy her new life. But soon all of that changed.
It took less than a year for Stephen Morton to show his true colors. Ana had just turned fifteen and she was excited about getting her learner's license, her mom had wanted to take her but had been held up at some women's luncheon so Stephen offered to take her. When the two of them arrived at the DMV the officer informed them that Stephen could not sign for her because he was not her guardian. That was the first time Stephen had hit her. Ana could remember how he had tangled his fingers into her hair, yanking her head back before slapping her across the face. He yelled at her for embarrassing him at the DMV. Ana had been so confused, how was she supposed to know that a guardian had to be present? She had wanted to ask him, wasn't he the lawyer, shouldn't that be something he knew but she kept her mouth shut. The minute Stephen pulled into the driveway, Ana had thrown open the car door to make it to her mother but Carla refused to listen to anything Ana had to say instead she chose to listen to Stephen's story. He claimed that she threw a fit in the middle of the DMV because she was unable to get her license. Ana tried to get her mother to call the DMV and ask but Carla refused and sided with Stephen. And that was just the beginning of her story with Stephen Morton. If Ana knew of all the things to come she would have packed her things and took off that very night because the things he did next broke her until she had nothing left.
Ana was pulled from her thoughts. Her body froze. The distinct clacking of heels against the pavement invaded her ears. There was no logical reason for anyone to be in the alleyway this late at night, unless they were here for her.
OoOoO
Elena was about to give up on her hunt for the night when something darted across the street in front of her black Mercedes Benz. If she would have blinked she would have missed the small figure entering the dark alleyway. She took a deep breath. How she hoped this would be it. That this would be what she had been waiting so long for. Elena scolded herself, remembering the last time she chased a figure in the night she found her new submissive, Isaac. And even though Isaac proved to be a nice addition to her life, he was not what she needed. After waiting a few minutes to see if the mysterious figure would reappear, Elena opened her car door. Deciding that if she wanted to see if she had finally found her prize she needed to go in search for the child. Grabbing a metal flashlight from her car door, she began walking toward the alleyway.
Her black Louboutin heels made a terrible clicking noise against the pavement with each step she made. She rolled her eyes. Well there went the element of surprise. Elena sighed and turned on her flashlight knowing that no matter who it was that was hiding in the dark already knew she was there. The light moved from one side of the alley to the other, stopping on the area when she saw movement. It's go time. "Hello there, my name is Elena. Are you okay? Do you need any help?"
Elena could see the small form in the brick hole shaking but what she could not see was what gender the child was. Clearly the child was scared but it irritated Elena that she was not being answered. Focus on the end game, Elena. "I promise. I'm not here to hurt you. I was in my car when I saw you run by. I just want to help you." Elena could see the child turning to face her. "I help children on the street and I would like to help you if you'd let me."
The dirty figure turned and looked up at Elena and though she was filthy it was clear that child was definitely a girl. And even though she couldn't tell what color hair the girl had or even if she was pretty, the one thing Elena could see was that the girl had striking crystal blue eyes. Holding out her hand, Elena urged the girl to come to her. "Come, let me help you." The girl's eyes darted from Elena's face to her hand, clearly trying to decide whether or not to accept her help. She needs more than encouraging words, Elena decided. "I know you don't trust me, and I understand that but you need to know that the police have been doing sweeps down these streets and if you don't come with me, they might find you." Absolute terror filled the young girl's eyes as they moved to look behind Elena. The girl had been through something terrible that much was obvious but whatever trauma this girl had gone through would only help Elena. She knew right then and there that she had the girl right where she wanted her. "Come child, please let me help you. I know what it's like to be on the run, running from someone that hurt you. Please, come." Elena reached her hand out further and this time a small hand reached out and grabbed on to it. "Let's get you somewhere warm."
When they reached Elena's car, she opened the door and moved to give the girl room to get in. "It's okay, get in." For a moment she thought that the girl might try and run but instead she closed her eyes and took a deep breath before taking her seat. "Good girl." Elena whispered as she shut the door and walked around to the driver side of the car. Once they were both seated inside the car, Elena could see the girl more clearly. The first thing she checked was to see what color the girl's hair was and she was pleased to find that she was a brunette. Elena felt immense pleasure in knowing that she had found what she had been looking for. This dirty, scared girl was everything that Elena could have possibly wanted and she was going to make sure that this girl became everything she could ever dream of.
OoOoO
Ana studied the blonde woman as she drove. She was beautiful and it was obvious she was rich but none of that mattered. What Ana really wanted to know was why this woman was helping her? So she asked. "Why are you doing this?"
The woman turned her head to Ana for only a moment before looking back at the road but in that short moment Ana could see the sadness on the woman's face. "My name is, Elena Lincoln. What's yours?"
"Anastasia Steele but everyone calls me, Ana."
The blonde woman nodded. Ana could see a smile spreading across her face. It looked odd, like Ms. Lincoln didn't smile very much. She wondered why. "Anastasia is a beautiful name. You should always be called Anastasia." That made Ana, frown. Her mother had said something similar, telling her that Anastasia was her name not Ana. This woman was not her mother though, Ana reminded herself. Ms. Lincoln rescued her from the police and Ana knew without a doubt what would have happened if the police found her and she couldn't let that happen. Elena Lincoln had saved her, she should be grateful.
"Thank you, Ms. Lincoln."
Laughter filled Ms. Lincoln's car. "My dear child, no one, I mean no one calls me, Ms. Lincoln. We must come up with something else for you to call me." Ana began to chew on her bottom lip. It was a nervous habit of hers. Ms. Lincoln turned to look at her and frowned. "Oh, Anastasia." She moved one of her hands from the steering wheel and held it out, giving Ana the choice on whether or not to take it. Ana swallowed past her anxiety before placing her hand in the woman's. "I want you to know something here and now." Ana simply nodded causing Elena to squeeze her hand gently. "I need you to know that there is nothing that you will ever do that will make me hurt you. I've been hurt before and I would never wish that on anyone. All I want is to make you happy."
"Okay." Ana wanted more than anything to believe that this beautiful, blonde woman wanted nothing more than to help her but there was always that possibility that she was lying to her. Could she trust her?
"What about Aunt El?"
"Aunt El." Ana tested the nickname for Elena out, she liked it enough and if it would make Elena happy then she would call her that. "Aunt El, is perfect."
OoOoO
And so it begins…
