Chapter 12 Wild card
"Raven!?" Randy called desperately, she had just hung up and not said a word, Raven had done that before but this time it worried him, especially when he heard that she was carrying his child. "Raven!?"
He looked to Storm, "Where is she? Where would Hunter take her?"
"I don't know" Storm said quietly, she was still in the same state in which he had found her, only now she wished she could help Raven, the only one that had shown her kindness. In Storm's mind the only one that deserved to live. Not that she hated Randy, but after her ordeal, it was only natural that she distrusted men. Randy frantically tried to dial her number but only got voicemail, he tried Hunters but got no response, everything seemed to be a dead end. Just as he shut down his latest attempt, it rung.
"Raven!?"
"You must really want her back huh Randy?" Mark's cool voice edged through, that taunting only made Randy angrier.
"Where is she!?"
"Tone Randy. She's safe and she will remain safe until you deliver what I want"
"What?"
"Storm."
"No"
"Randy!"
"Raven!"
"Give him Storm, he said if you don't, he'll kill the baby" Raven said, her tone calm and collected. Randy could only hope that she had a plan.
"You heard her Randy, now lets see if you deliver what I want without being an idiot. Good-bye"
He hung up and looked to Storm, "He has Raven and my baby"
Storm stood up, sheer determination on her usually scared face. "Then give him what he wants"
"How do you know where to go?"
"He'll be at the barnyard,"
"How do you know that?"
Storm shrugged "Its where I'd take someone if I was gonna kill them, no one would ever hear the screams."
Randy didn't want to go and neither did Storm, but they both knew they had too. In order to save not only one life, but two, they had to confront this head on. "Do you have any kind of plan?" Storm asked quietly as they pulled up, she hoped that Randy had a plan and they weren't just walking like lambs to the slaughter.
Randy didn't say anything, he just got out and grabbed Storm as though she was a prisoner. Just being back there, Storm started to shake, Randy hated his thoughts, but if giving Storm to the wolf meant Raven and his child would be safe then he would do it.
"So Randy, welcome to my kingdom" Mark gestured around the strewn barn. Hunter on the floor, blood oozing from his head, and his girl, in her glory tied to a chair in chains.
"If you've touched her, I swear to God" Randy started the moment he saw Raven naked and in that chair. Mark let out a booming laugh,
"Please! I'm not turned on by it, I if were I assure you Randal there would be nothin you could do to stop me." Mark laughed again, "Besides, you took my girl so I'll take your's. Both of your's"
"AJ Lee" Raven whispered as it slipped into place, she was wrong, Mark didn't involve Randy because he took his brother, he took his slave.
Mark clapped mockingly before pulling out the guns, "Yes!"
"AJ was taken by your retarded brother, not me" Randy spit out, Mark punched him in the mouth making Storm scream.
"AJ belonged to both of us, and you took her. At first I thought we could talk this out like civilised human beings, instead I'm just gonna rip the head off your pretty little girlfriend. After she gives me my child of course."
Storm looked to Raven, she calmly and discreetly nudged her head towards a random haystack. Storm followed her eyes, hiding in the hay was a shotgun, Hunter obviously intended to use it on her one day. Storm managed to question it with her eyes, she wasn't sure how or even how Raven got it, but somehow she did. She shook her head no, her body shaking. Mark looked to her annoyed,
"Why are you shaking?"
"I'm naked! Why do you think I'm think I'm shakin, I'm cold!"
Mark lent down and stroked her face, "As soon as everyone dies, you can put your clothes back on"
Randy lunged at him, tackling him to the floor, a fury of fists flying. Storm ran for the shotgun, screaming when Hunter grabbed her ankle and pulled her away. "You thought it was bad before! Just you wait!" Hunter growled at her ripping her clothes.
"Hunter!" Raven yelled at him, "If you don't rape her then you can have me!"
He stopped and looked at her, his eyes suddenly wide like a child "Really? No tricks?"
"No tricks. Leave Storm alone and you can have me instead. But only once, then you leave us both and we go back to our seperate lives"
Hunter didn't hear anything after "You can have me instead" He eyed her like a bit of meat. "You're goin to like this Raven, trust me"
Hunter ran his hands up her thighs, just feeling the soft skin. Randy yelled like a banshee, tackling him and pounding him in the face. Mark could be forgotten for a while, Hunter wasn't about to hurt his Raven, not while he was there.
"Randy! Behind you!" Raven yelled, trying to keep an eye on Storm, Mark, Randy and Hunter, it was almost impossible with everyone moving so much. Mark swung a shovel right at his head and like that he slumped to the ground. Hunter looked up at Mark, bleeding yet greatful.
"Thanks"
Mark shot him in the head, "Your welcome Hunter"
He looked to Raven and Storm, the pale haired beauty was frantically trying to get her cousin free, Mark stepped towards them slowly, a few extra seconds wouldn't hurt. Storm managed to get them un-done, not that Mark knew that. Finally luck was on their side.
"So what did you expect to accomplish with setting her free, neither of you could take me on" He smirked down at the two girls, like an evil cat with mice. He grabbed Storm and shoved her to the middle of the floor, Mark stood over her as she picked her self up.
"Well little girl, whats your next move?"
Storm couldn't think, nor could she move, Raven had dive rolled towards the hidden gun. "Mark can I ask a question?"
"What?" He didn't even turn around, he was busy toying with Storm, she could be a lot of fun, he was thinking about keeping her.
"Die" Raven pulled the trigger and deadly hole made its way through Mark's big frame, finally he dropped to the ground.
"That wasn't a question" Randy uttered pulling himself up, instantly he went to her to make sure she was ok.
"Thats because I don't do requests"
Raven hugged him greatfully, holding tight and never letting go. She let go and grabbed Storm, making her look in those silver orbs.
"Are you ok Storm?"
"Yeah" She got out shakily, her mind was still locked on the obvious, Raven had sacrificed herself in order to save her. Storm could only hope she could repay the favour someday. Randy took both his girls and headed out of the barnyard, more than glad this night was over.
"Raven!"
In a split second before death could settle in, Mark shot his last bullet at Raven, the lungs suddenly losing air and her body lost the ability to stand. Storm dived at Raven, trying to keep her alive. Now she had to save her life, just like Raven had saved her's.
