A/N: Well I was really bummed out about the reviews the last chapter got and I almost didn't write this one, but I thought I write because it's what I love to do not to be intimidated by other's opinions. First I would like to start by saying that if you want to make a rude comment then make an account so that I can properly respond. Second, I have already expressed that you may have an opinion about my story, everyone will I'm sure, but there is a difference between critique and rudeness. But to respond to the comments I am not trying to make Ana seem stupid. That is far from the concept of the story. I am trying to keep it interesting and introduce new conflict. This is also a part of Ana conquering her fears and becoming a stronger person. Third I NEVER gave anyone the impression that the third person in the car was Jack Hyde. Last, but certainly not least I will say this one last time: IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE STORY THEN DON'T READ IT. No one is forcing you to continue to follow this story, but I must be doing a pretty good job if you keep coming back. I think I have made my feelings crystal clear now. Thank you to all of the others who have been so supportive and breathlessly await one chapter after the next. Well wait no longer. Here is chapter 14. Happy reading!

I am sitting at my desk staring intently at a stack of papers that I should have read over hours ago, but my mind keeps drifting back to Ana and my eyes keep floating to the clock. It's only twelve-thirty. I sigh in frustration. I still have thirty minutes before I can go and be with Ana. She is sick and she probably needs me to force food down her unwilling, stubborn throat. She never eats properly. I am drawn from my worrying over Ana when Taylor walks in.

"Sir, There is a Doctor Blake Frost here to see you. He says that it is about Ana and it is very urgent."

I panic immediately. What happened to her? He said it could get worse if not properly taken care of. We haven't even gotten the chance to care for it yet. "Let him in."

Within seconds the doctor is standing in front of my desk looking like hell. "Ana's been kidnapped."

My world falls away from me. Why is this happening to her? Who would do this to her? Jack Hyde. That mother fucker! I'm going to kill him with my bare hands. I stand up and walk around my desk and call for Taylor.

"How do you know this?"

"I saw her on the elevator with another woman. She mouthed 'Help me' to me."

"So why the hell didn't you?!"

"I came and got you didn't I? I didn't know what else to do. I panicked. I wasn't going to attack a woman. Plus she may have had a gun."

"Are you afraid to get shot? She took my girlfriend!" Then something occurs to me. "What did this woman look like?"

"She was a brunette with brown eyes I think."

My stomach drops. Leila. Why would Leila be working with Jack Hyde? Unless she isn't. And that only leaves Elena. Elena never did like Ana and now that I want to change for her that isn't sitting too well I imagine. Shit! That means Elena will take her to…

"Oh my God. We have to find her. We have to go now. She's in danger. Terrible danger. Are you going to help?" I look at him, not really caring for his answer as I search for my keys to my R8.

"Of course I'm going to help. She asked me to."

I find my keys and walk to the door and throw, "Then let's go," over my shoulder.

We get in the car and pull from the parking garage and a black SUV follows me. Taylor. Something occurs to me. I pull out my phone and call Sawyer.

"Sir?" He answers on the second ring.

"Where the fuck are you and why aren't you with Ana?"

"She asked me to go with Mrs. Jones to the store so she wouldn't be alone. We just got back. It took a bit longer than expected. Is something wrong sir?"

"You bet your ass something is wrong. Ana is missing! You should have been watching her no matter what she said! You're fired!" I terminate the call before he can say another word. I drive like a maniac to the only place I can think of.

"Where are we going?"

"To Elena's house."

"Who is Elena?" I ignore him and put my phone on the deck in the car and pull up the app that tracks Ana's phone. The dot is blinking on Escala.

"Shit!" I hit the steering wheel with my fist as I pull to a stop in front of Elena's house. I jump out and begin banging on the door. No answer. I go and grab my keys from the ignition and unlock the door. I search everywhere. Frost has gotten out to help. "Keep checking around down here. I'm going upstairs." At his nod I race up the stairs to the playroom. I jiggle the handle and it too is locked. I kick in the door. Nothing. Where the fuck could they be? I keep checking around upstairs, but the house is empty. I go back downstairs.

"There's no one here," Frost informs me.

"Sir, I have checked the grounds out back. It is empty." I run both hands through my hair and pull. I race back to the car and track the Audi I gave Leila. The dot blinks on her address. They wouldn't go to her apartment would they? Anything is possible.

"Taylor. Go check Leila's apartment."

"Yes sir," and he is gone. I then trace the tracker I put on Elena's car when I bought it for her for her birthday. The dot blinks over an address I do not recognize. I put the address in Google maps and it pulls up a warehouse. Bingo. I call Taylor and give him the address and tell him to meet us there and then I am speeding there myself. I'm coming Ana. Hold on. I won't let him hurt you again. We pull up in front of the warehouse and both me and Frost shoot out of the car. Taylor pulls up and is also running to the door. We all burst through and stop in our tracks. The scene before me is absolutely horrifying.

When I wake up I do a mental survey of myself without opening my eyes. I test my hands and they and my feet are, surprisingly, free. The back of my head hurts like all hell and I am freezing. My throat feels like it's on fire. I open my eyes and immediately regret it.

"Hello Ana. Daddy missed you." I screw my eyes shut and try to back away, but I can't seem to move. This illness is getting to me. I feel slow and disoriented. His fingers trail down my cheek. "Oh come now. Open your eyes and see what I have here for you." When I don't comply his hand trails around to my neck and he grabs a fist full of my hair and pulls hard. "I said open your eyes!" I gasp and open my eyes to see him holding himself. He yanks my head to his erection and I start to struggle, but I am too weak. "No. Not this time. You're going to get what you've wanted for so long, what you've begged me for." NO! Why is this happening to me? Why is he here? I hear a giggle and I look to my right as I continue to struggle. Both Elena and Leila are standing to the side watching as my stepfather tries to rape me. This time it won't end the way it used to. This time he'll get what he wants from me. Carla isn't here to stop him. I can feel the vomit rising in my throat. I try to stop it, but I can't and it breaks through and soaks his lower half.

"You stupid fucking bitch!" He yells in my face. He slaps me and I fall back. He kicks me repeatedly in the side and in the face before someone comes and stops him.

"Why don't we just go clean this up and I'll make sure you're taken care of before we come back and… handle her."

"Fine. You. Take that robe off of her and watch her. If you hear anything or she makes any sudden moves, kill her." My robe is taken from me and I start to cry. What have I done? What do people have against me? I look up at Leila and she is standing directly over me holding a gun. She looks a little nervous. Her ankle is close to my hand. I feel a rush of adrenaline take over my body. I have resigned myself to the fact that I am going to die, but if I do I will go out fighting. I think, I love you Christian, and then I wrap my hand around her ankle and yank her down to the floor. The gun goes flying out of her hand and sliding across the floor. Before she can recover I climb on top of her and slap her in the face. She opens her mouth to yell, but I wrap my hands around her throat and squeeze with all my might. When she begins to struggle I squeeze tighter. Her movements begin to slow and then they stop altogether. I let go and I see that my hand prints have bruised her neck. I can't think about her right now. I roll off of her and I grab the discarded gun and wait.

When Elena and Stephen come back in the room I am standing in the middle of the floor with the gun pointed at them both. They are surprised, but Stephen is the first to recover. "I told you we should have tied her up! You and your good for nothing flunky can't get anything right!" He yells at Elena. He looks at me with a soft expression. "Ana. Give me the gun. You don't want to do this. Just give it to me and I promise we won't hurt you." He starts to walk towards me and I cock the gun. "Ana. Do you really want to go to jail? If you kill us then you will rot in prison for the rest of your life and be someone's bitch. Is that what you want?" I shuffle from foot to foot. I don't want to go to prison, but if I give him the gun he'll kill me. I don't want to kill him. As much as I hate him I don't want to kill him and I regret killing Leila and I am secretly hoping she is alright. I am not a murderer. He must see my indecision because he decides to run towards me and in a moment of panic I raise the gun higher and fire. Stephen drops to the floor with hole in his head. I stare at him for a moment before I look at Elena. Christian would hate me forever if I killed her. Ray's words drift back to me. If you can help it, aim to injure, not to kill. If a person can't walk, then they are helpless to fight back Annie, remember that. Her eyes grow wide and I know that she is about to run so I change the angle of the gun and rapidly blow out both of her knees. She is screaming and rolling around on the floor.

"I'm going to kill you! You'll rot in jail for the rest of your life you stupid little whore! AAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!"

I stand in shock. I can't believe I have done this. I killed two people and I just injured another. I can barely stand to see a person run over a squirrel. I am a murderer. I belong in prison for what I have done.

I hear the door open again and I point the gun towards the newcomers. I see a man raise his hands.

"Ana. Put the gun down. No one is going to hurt you." I've heard that before. I cock the gun at the advancing man and he stops immediately. "Ana it's me, Taylor. Put the gun down. I'm not going to hurt you. You know that. Christian is here with me. Don't you want to go to him? Give me the gun." No. I won't give him the gun and I'm not going anywhere with anyone until I can properly see their faces. The light coming in from behind them is blinding and I can't see much of anything. If he decides to attack I'll be at a disadvantage.

"C-close the door." I stammer.

The door closes and in the dim light I can see Taylor, Christian, and Dr. Frost. "Christian," I whisper.

He runs over to me and ignores Taylors command for him to stay back. He gently pries the gun from my hands and drops it. Once I am in his arms I crumble. All the earlier adrenaline is gone. I feel like I am going to pass out "I killed them. I didn't want to. They were trying to hurt me."

"Shh baby. It's alright. No one else is going to hurt you. I'm here."

"She needs help." I gesture towards Elena who is still screaming.

"You need help. I barely recognize you. Come on let's go."

"But—"

"I don't give a shit about Elena. I want you safe and taken care of."

"Here." Dr. Frost hands Christian my missing robe and he puts it on me and picks me up and carries me to the waiting car.

"Doc, drive my car," Christian says and then he carries me to the SUV where I promptly pass out.
