Chapter 1- Stained
"No!" Olivia said. She stood up from the wooden bed she had been placed to. Her hands were still tightly bound on her wrists. "Take me instead!" she demanded and looked him right in the eyes. She still didn't know his name and yet she begged him to take her instead of this child. Olivia took a deep breath, she was quite a bit shocked about herself. Did she really just say that? It had just poured out of her mouth. You can handle this- she said to herself. "Please.. let her go." she breathed out, looking at the poor girl.
The man mustered her, "Naah-" he said and looked back at his predestined 15 year old victim. Zoey was a bit taller than Olivia with long blonde hair. Her face was covered with tears, which caused her mascara to grease. Her eyes met Olivias and she could feel her fear- she was so frightened. She was screaming for help, begging him to leave her alone. "-thanks for the offer sweetheart but I think we are quite happy here." He grinned at Zoey and began to pull her further to the door. "And now sit back down were you belong!"
"Ah right-" Olivia nodded her head, "-so you haven't the grit to take me, is it that?" she looked up at him, "-you aren't man enough to take me instead of a little girl." She hissed at him, her breathing was heavy. She knew men like him perfectly, knew how to play them out. She already did it way to often in the interrogation. She wanted to provoke him so he would become angry at her, his focus should be on her and not on Zoeys. It was still a risky play and Olivia knew that, making him enough angry to leave Zoey alone but neither too angry to get hurt by herself. This time it was not routine at the precinct questioning a suspect, this time she would put her life in danger- this time she wasn't in charge.
He stopped dead in his tracks. "What did you say!" he spat. He eventually let go of Zoey, pushing her to the ground at once. Olivia had his full attention now. He turned around and grabbed the gun from the back of his jeans- pointing it at Olivia. It was her gun which had been taken from her only moments after she had entered the appartment. Her comfort, her security- would be now held against her. Why did she tell them anyway that she way carrying a gun on her hip. She blamed herself for her proceeding a few hours earlier and couldn't held back a quiet sigh. She was ripped off her thoughts by his next words. "Now-" he paused, "-say that again."
Silence filled the room for a moment. Zoey had stopped crying, her eyes were looking at her in total horror. Her younger brother was hiding in the corner of his bed, holding a pillow in front of his chest. Olivia bit her tongue, holding her breath. Normally she would bow down to him, telling him he was in charge. She would try to calm him down so nobody gets hurt but right now this wasn't expedient for her plan and anyway she had gone too far yet. She didn't want to die nor did she want being abused or even raped but that didn't matter at the moment. She had to protect this girl from being abused. That was her nature, this was what she had always been doing. You can handle this- she repeated, calming herself.
He armed the weapon.
She led her breath go, "You pick a 15 year old girl, only because you are afraid you couldn't handle an adult woman!" she glared at him. She then closed her eyes, preparing herself for being shot. After what felt like an eternity waiting for a gunshot which never came she opened her eyes. It must've been only milliseconds. She opened her eyes just in that moment when something hard hit her sleeve. Pain and dizziness filled her head and she fell to the ground. Olivia gasped for air while she tried to get back on her feet only to fell back on her side. She opened her eyes- her vision was blurry. Her ears only could make out muffled speaking from the man who had hit her. She could feel the warm blood running down the side of her head and dropped down at her babyblue cotton coat. Only yesterday she had picked it up from the cleaning store. 'til now it had been so clean, so innocent- there weren't any bad emotions or events connected to her wearing this beautiful blue coat. Now it was stained.
"I don't like it when someone offend me." He nervously walked up and down through the room. "I am in charge here!" he screamed "-And that's what happen when you try something stupid!" he yelled and pointed with his gun in Olivias direction. Brian- Zoey's four year old brother started to cry. "I'm going to shoot him when he doesn't stop crying right now! " he warned Zoey, who immediately crawled over to him and tried to smoothen him.
"I'm going to show you what it means to play with me-" he walked over to Olivia and kicked her in the stomach. Her body crinkled automatically and her eyes opened wide. She led out a small cry of pain, gasping for air. He bent down to her and growled into her ear: "you will feel how man I am." He stood up and laughed, "You will wish you'd never interrupted me and my little princess over there." He grinned in Zoey's direction. He grabbed Olivia by the hair, forced her to the feet and dragged Olivia out of the room.
