Author's Note: 42 follows. Literally, this means so much to me! I remember when I first started this story and was completely unsure how it was going to go. I'm glad I had the courage to post this. Your reviews bring a smile to my face. I know I left off at a cliffhanger, so I'm going to continue! Let me know what you think!
He walks away from her, wishing he could have swept her up in his arms and kept her forever. He had been pretty successful at avoiding her for a couple days, but of course, fate would bring them together once more. Even when he wasn't with her, she was on his mind, and he didn't hate it.
He looks out at the ocean, the sun sinks over the water, and he stops in his tracks. It would be a matter of minutes before the sun went away and the beach would be cloaked in darkness. He thinks of Ally walking by herself, and shudders.
He doesn't waste anytime turning around to find her. The beach is pretty vacant, except for a few young couples, who are drinking and making out in the sand, and he quickens his pace. An eerie quiet hangs over the area, until a high pitched squeal breaks through the silence.
Austin's heart drops and his fast walk turns into a full on run.
-" Ally," he screams, his heart beating violently in his chest, as he runs towards her voice.
His eyes strain forwards hoping to catch a glimpse of her, but has no success. He runs until his body can't anymore; his chest heaves in and out, and his breathing is heavy, while his body fights to restore itself.
He scans the area looking for any signs of her, when movement in the beach parking lot catches his eye. A hooded figure walks towards a red car holding something in their arms. Austin wastes no time rushing towards the figure,
-" Hey," he screams and the hooded person starts to run. Austin pursues him, every ounce of his energy being poured into the chase. The hooded figure reaches the car and hops inside. A piece of paper is thrown out the window, before the car speeds off, screeching out of view.
Austin falls to his knees defeated. He had been avoiding her all this time in hopes to protect her, but it had been a failure. The sweet angelic Ally Dawson had been drug under to his hell. He manages to gather the strength to stand and goes to pick up the piece of paper her captor had through from the car.
His face contorts with hatred as he reads it.
Austin,
Well, well, so I hear you've found yourself a girl. I've heard she's lovely, and I'm sure she is. However I never saw you as the mushy sort of guy. My point of writing to you is simple: I have your girl and if you want her back you need to come and get her. But don't worry, you can take your time; it's been a long time since I've had a lady in my house, and I want to make sure she's especially comfortable.
-D
Austin crumples the paper when he's through, his blood boiling. He whips out his cellphone and calls Dez.
-"Hey, wats u.."
-"Meet me at McAlister Alley. No time to explain, just get there as quick as you can."
…
Ally's head throbs as she awakens. Her eyes slowly open to reveal a bedroom, with clothes thrown in heaps on the floor, along with empty beer bottles.
She whimpers, when she realizes she's in a foreign bed.
Oh please, god, tell me he didn't rape me!
She glances down at herself to see, she's still in her dress and Austin's sweat shirt and that helps to ease her discomfort.
-"The boys told me you were beautiful, and I must say I'm not disappointed," a voice from behind her startles her and she quickly turns towards it. A man leans against the doorway, his shaggy brown hair falls over his face and he wears a smirk. She'd be lying to say he isn't attractive, but he is also scary.
-" Who… are you." She stutters and the man laughs taking a step towards her.
-" Wait, you mean to tell me you're Austin's girl and he never told you about me? I'm offended."
He continues to walk towards her and she feels her heart rate increase. There was something about the way he stared at her that chilled her to the bone; like he was going to devour her.
-" I'm… not Austin's girl. I barely even know him."
The man smirks, taking a long swig from his bottle, before he tosses it to the ground.
-" Well, I hear he's quite taken by you. Can't blame him though, you look like a fun little thing to have around."
He reaches the bed and caress her cheek. It makes her body shudder and she moves herself away from his unwanted touch. She hears him growl and he grabs her cheeks forcing her to face him.
-" My name's Dallas. Your boyfriend and I go way back. We used to be good friends always havin fun, until he became a pussy. He couldn't shoot anyone, and that takes all the fun out of being in a gang. So he left me along with several other pussies. He didn't have my fucking permission, so it was only natural he should pay. I can still hear his mama's screaming sometimes and it gets me high."
Ally's jaw drops in pure horror at his confession.
-" You… killed his mother?"
He grins, an evil smirk playing on his lips.
-" Beat her, fucked her, killed her."
His eyes glisten, as he recalls the horrors he inflicted on the innocent woman, and Ally's stomach churns.
-" You're sick," she finds the courage to say, but Dallas only grins.
-"No baby, I'm insane."
In an instant, he's on top of her, holding her firmly onto the bed. She gasps for air as he holds her in place. He rips the sweat coat and dress from her body, leaving her in her bra and panties. She wriggles and thrashes in an attempt to get free, but he's too strong.
He places rough kisses along her stomach and works his way up her body. His hands squeeze her breasts tightly and his breathing is ragged. She squeezes her eyes shut so she doesn't have to look into his deranged gaze. His lips reach her neck and he roughly bites down. She screams out in pain, her eyes pouring out the tears she's been holding in. He holds down for several more mintues, before he releases. She feels his weight being lifted and she opens her eyes to see he's making his way from the room. He stops just before he leaves and turns around to face her.
-"You better hope your price charming follows directions, because next time I won't let you off so easy." He states before he slams the door.
Her whole body shakes, uncontrollably, as she clutches her neck. She cries into the bed, worried that if he hears her, he might come back and hurt her even more.
