Billy reached for the button on Sam's jeans. She put her hands over his. "Uh uh," she said playfully. She rolled him over, straddling him, pushing his hands over his head, she began to kiss his neck. He moaned his approval. He closed his eyes. As one hand slid down his chest to his jeans, she reached over to the cd player with the other. She was glad it was a small enough one to pick up and swing easily. Just as soon as her hand grasped the handle Billy opened his eyes. "Need my hel-," he began saying. He didn't get a chance to finish as Sam smashed his face with the cd player. Blood splattered on her as she brought the cd player down on his face again. She jumped off of him and ran for the door. She heard Billy's muffled cursing behind her but she didn't dare look. She made it to the door. 'Please, please, please,' she thought as she turned the handle. The handle turned and the door opened. "Yes!" she said as she went to open the door. The door flew out of her hand and was slammed shut before she made it outside. Billy shoved her hard against the door frame. Grabbing her hair he threw her back away from the door. She landed on her butt. Looking up she saw the damage she had done to him. Blood was pouring out of his nose. When he spoke she saw missing teeth. "HOW DARE YOU!!! I treated you nothing but nice and you do this to me," he slurred. Blood coming out of his mouth with every word. "What am I going to do with you? You obviously can't learn to love me the way I love you. I have tried to be patient until you could love me. I did. But what now. What are we going to do now?"
He stalked towards her throwing his hands around in the air. Sam crawled away from him until her back hit the counter. She looked behind her. The sink! The beer bottle was there. She jumped up real quick and grabbed the bottle. She held it out in front of her. "This ends today Billy. I never loved you. I never could love you. I want to be set free. I want you never to bother me again," she said. He stopped and gave her a gruesome smile. Blood sliding from his mouth onto his chest. "You are not leaving me. I am not letting you go. I know where you would go, slut. You would run to him. That wrestler you shacked up with," he said. "So what if I would. He treated me with respect and kindness. I...I love him," she stated. Billy's face went blank. "Fine after I kill you, I will kill him," Billy growled as he rushed her. He rammed her back into the counter, making her lose her breath. She almost dropped the bottle but at the last minute brought it down on his head, breaking it. He fell to the floor, not moving. She stood there shaking. 'Did I kill him? Is he...' He grabbed her ankles. She screamed and jerked free of his grasp. She ran for the door, this time opening it and getting outside. She ran off the front porch onto the muddy ground. Her bare feet slipped a couple of time as she ran away from the cabin. "SAM! GET BACK HERE!" Billy yelled from behind her. He was chasing her. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" she yelled back. "Never," he growled as he caught up to her, grabbed her hair, and pushed her down to the ground. He put his knee on her back and held her down. 'This is it,' she thought as she started struggling and screaming at the top of her lungs.
Matt and Jeff had been following the river. They knew it was a long shot but it was the only hope they had. Jeff stopped to catch his breath. His knife wound had been aching a while but he wasn't going to let it stop him from searching. Matt noticed his brothers pale face. "Let's go back now. You need rest, Jeff," Matt said taking Jeff's arm. Jeff pulled free. "No, I am not going back. Not until I find her. She needs me now Matt. I don't know what he is doing to her right now but I know the little pain I am in is nothing compared to hers," he said. The brothers stood there staring at each other. Neither one of them wanting to give in to the other. A scream ripped through the silence. Both Matt and Jeff stared at the direction the screaming was coming from. "Sam!" Jeff yelled as both he and Matt took off across the river. The yelling was coming from deeper into the woods than they had been. 'Hold on, Sam. Hold on. I am coming for you,' he thought as he pushed his body further than he ever had before.
