English is not my native language and I'm still looking for a beta reader, so if there are spelling or grammar mistakes… I'm sorry! But you can still apply for the job as my beta reader!
Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own the characters of "Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman"… One Beth Sullivan does… But I do own the characters Jonas "John" Kerrigan and Elena!
Rating: I don't know anything about these ratings, but let's say T or PG-13. Just to be safe...
Warnings: I know that in the official Dr. Quinn timeline Hank's Nana is introduced in Season 4, so after Dr. Mike's and Sully's wedding. However, in my story they aren't married yet, but they already do know Ilse. So, in my timeline the events concerning Hank and his Nana in the episode "Woman of the Year" have already happened. So this story is slightly AU… I hope it doesn't bother you…
This story is the sequel to "Past Fears" and "Child of Mine". If you haven't read those stories I suggest you do that first. Otherwise this story won't make a lot of sense… I think…
Summary: Hank is trying to pick up his life again, with a little help from Elena. However, there still is a man out there who doesn't want to see Hank happy…
Dear readers and reviewers: Thank you VERY much!
Chapter 7
John had been traveling through the woods for hours. First he had traveled a while on foot, carrying Elena over his shoulder. Then they had reached John's horse and had traveled further by horse. Elena had almost regained consciousness on a few occasions, but John had just grabbed the bottle with chloroform from his pocket and had sedated her again. Not yet, beautiful, he had thought, not until we've reached our destination.
Now he was walking through the woods again, this time carrying Elena in his arms. He had set his horse free a few miles back. Although Elena wasn't heavy, having carried her in his arms for hours, was really starting to wear him out. Just a little while further, he thought to himself, we're almost there…
About half an hour later he reached a small cabin, which was situated on the edge of the woods. Finally, he thought, it's showtime… He chuckled as he opened the door and carried Elena inside. The cabin consisted of one little room, which had a tiny kitchen, a table with two chairs and a bed. John felt Elena move in his arms, which meant she was about to wake up. He walked her to the back of the room and laid her on the small bed that stood against the wall. Then he grabbed a rope and tied her hands above her head to the bedpost. He stared at her, taking in her beauty. "You are so beautiful," he said softly and stroked her cheek.
Oh, how he wanted this woman! His heart started to beat faster and he felt the overwhelming need to touch her everywhere. He wanted to feel her; her skin against his. His hand moved to her neck and from her neck to her shoulder. Soft… her skin is so soft… He slid his hand under her blouse so her could feel more of her shoulders and her upper arms. She felt warm. He pulled his and back from under her blouse and stroked her cheek again. Then, slowly, he let his hand move down her body again until he reached her breast. He softly touched it with his fingers first, then he took it in his hand and massaged it softly. Not too big, but not too small either… and firm! He was getting aroused and wasn't able to think clearly anymore. Oh, what did it feel good to touch this woman! And he wanted more… He moved further to touch her waist, her stomach and eventually her hips.
He was so consumed by touching Elena that he didn't realize she had woken up. Not until she kicked him in the chest as hard as she could. "Get away from me!" she screamed on top of her lungs. "Don't you dare touch me!" she tried to get up from the bed, but then realized that she was tied up to it. John had stumbled backwards because of the great force Elena had kicked him with, and had fallen on the ground. She had taken him by surprise so it took him a few seconds to realize what had happened. He looked over at the bed and saw Elena's bewildered and scared expression. He chuckled at the sight and stood up. "Elena, Elena," he said amused, "You'll never learn, will you? You can't escape your faith… you can't escape me…" He approached the bed again.
The look in his eyes scared Elena even more. It was a look of lust; a predator's look. "Please don't hurt me," she said pleadingly, her voice almost a whisper. Tears were burning in her eyes. She knew all to well what John was planning to do to her and it made her sick just thinking of it. John only chuckled at her plea. Elena shivered. That chuckle, that evil sounding chuckle… it brought chills down her spine. "Why?" she asked, her voice still soft, but full with fear. "Why are you doing this?" John grinned. "You know why I'm doing this…" he said, "I just like to see Hank suffer!" Elena shook her head. "Then why are you letting ME suffer?" she spoke loudly this time, sounding desperate. "Why do you want to hurt ME? I thought you liked me… You don't hurt people you like!"
John sat down on the bed and stroked her leg. Elena tried to pull away, but John leaned down over her legs so she was trapped underneath him. "I'm not going to hurt you, Elena," he said softly, "I'll make sure it'll be good for you too… you'll enjoy it…" he looked at her intensely, but Elena was shaking her head desperately. "No!" she screamed out. "You know damn well that you want to hurt me! You get off by it!" she was screaming hysterically. She didn't care anymore what she was saying, as long as he left her alone. "You're sick! Mentally ill! You could never make me enjoy it! You…" she was beyond sanity and screamed out everything that came to mind.
"Shut up!" John yelled at her. He looked at her angrily. Had she hit a nerve? "You're right," he said, "I WANT to hurt you… I just can't stand that you like Hank instead of me… and he likes you… he even wants you! And what greater revenge could I ask for, if I could have you first?" he laughed loudly at her. "I'll make you mine, Elena," he continued, "I'll take you and claim you as mine… and when Hank finds you, and realizes what I've done to you, he'll never want you again! And then you'll be mine forever!"
Elena listened to his words and finally broke down. She started to sob. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she realized that she would not escape this. Would Hank really turn her down? Would he hate her if he'd find out that John had had her first? No… "No!" she screamed at him! "You will never have me! No matter what you do, I'll NEVER be yours! You can take my body, but you can't take my soul! My soul already belongs to Hank and that's where it will stay… FOREVER!" She looked at him with disgust. "You just can't stand that he can have a woman like me," she continued her tirade. "No woman would ever want you! You're a disgusting man! You…" "SHUT THE HELL UP!" John roared and repeated the sentence over and over again. Her words had gotten him angry, furious even. He stalked towards the bed as she screamed at him. "SHUT UP!" he yelled, blind with fury. He grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her hard; then he slammed her in the face. He struck her with such force that Elena's world went black.
"Damn it…" John sighed when he saw that Elena was unconscious. He sat down on the bed and shook his head. Why did I let her words get to me? John asked himself. I shouldn't have hit her… But hell! She deserved it! How dare she talk to me like that! How dare she! He sighed deeply and tried to get his act together again. Then he stood up and walked to the closet across the bed. He took a large cloth from it and then walked back to Elena. You won't speak that way to me again, Elena… he thought while he gagged her. Not one word will come from that beautiful mouth of yours… You won't interfere with my plans again! He stepped back and looked at the woman on the bed. "You WILL be mine, Elena," he said softly. "One way or the other…"

Maybe the chapter is a bit short, but it's quite tense I think! Tell me what you think!
