Chapter 24- My Saviour?
Gabriella banged her arms against the wall causing her chains to rattle. She couldn't take it anymore. Being locked up here. Not knowing what's going to happen. Being away from Troy. It was all to much for her.
It had come so close last night. Hey way her came in, lunging at her clawing at her clothes causing parts of them to rip. She fort and fort against him, managing to put up a weak struggle to stop him. It had worked. Only because he had to leave. But he vowed that he would get her.
Tonight.
And it petrified he because she knew that she was too weak to fight him off. She hadn't eaten, drunk or slept the whole time he had kept her there. Locked her up.
Like she was his prisoner.
And she knew she was. She knew she would be until some realised where she was or she found a way to get out. And right now she knew she wouldn't have the energy to do it by herself.
So all she could do was wait and hope James would come no closer to hurting her than he had the previous night.
Gabriella pulled on the chains again, feeling the hard metal cutting and bruising her skin even more than it all ready was.
She stared down at her swollen wrists, seeing the black and blue bruises coated with dry blood from the constant scraping of the metal against her once sun kissed skin.
She looked around her surroundings. She had no idea where she was. Even when he had bought her here she knew nothing. The place wasn't familiar to her. All she knew was that she wet out the back of James garden where he lead her to this shed that she hadn't left since he had hold of her.
All that was here was blackness. All that shone dimly was the lit candle sitting in a glass pot opposite her that he came to relight everyday. There was nothing else in here. Nothing at all. Only her and the candle.
Troy could feel his hands burning from the hard grip he had on the steering wheel of his car. His now dim blue eyes burned into the road, as he was speeding over the limit swerving to miss cars as he drove down the road.
His heart hammered in his chest as he felt like someone was repeatedly squeezing on his heart felling the fear and pain that he knew she was feeling where ever she was.
How did he allow something like this happen? How did he let someone like James into their life. How did he not see this coming, how could he have not realised that he was planning to hurt her. To take her away from him. She was innocent she would have never done anything wrong. To him. To anyone. So instead he played a sick game by taking her at one of her weakest moments. While she was at her mothers grave, it was a tine when Gabriella was always at her weakest.
He was going to kill him. Once he got hold of him he was going to make him suffer. He was going to make him feel the pain he made him feel taking Gabriella away from him. Ad if he had done anything to hurt her, even a strand of hair on her head was harmed. He would make him suffer, he would torture him play with his mind like he knew he was doing with Gabriella he could feel it.
Troy pressed his foot down even harder on the pedal, dangerously increasing speed as the engine roared at his car sped down the street at high speed.
He knew it was dangerous. He knew it could kill someone. Even himself. But he wasn't gong to stop. Not until he had reached her and she was safely back in his arms.
Gabriella's head snapped up at the force of James grabbing her face and slamming her back against the wall.
She cringed in pain as the wood scraped along the bottom of her back, breaking her flesh.
"It's tonight baby it's the night we've been waiting for" he whispered as he bit into her neck causing a bruise to form.
Gabriella took her chained arms and whacked him in his stomach, knocking the wind out of him.
She was hurting. She was tired. She was weak. She didn't know how long she was going to be able to keep this up. She didn't have the strength in her to be able to keep it up for as long as he was going to try.
Just a little bit longer Troy though to himself as he turned the corner. Just a little bit longer and he would be there, be there for her. If there was a her to be there for.
No.
He couldn't think like that. She was alive and she was there waiting for him to come and save her. Save her like he didn't last time. This was his chance. His chance to prove to her that he was there for her, he wasn't a fool like he was last time he would save her, that it was her and only her.
He had to be there.
Sam Green flashed through her mind as James lunged himself at her again his lips attacking her. She remember the feelings, the fear as he groped her. She pushed at him again to Try and get his body away from hers, but her was stronger than her. A lot stronger.
Gabriella knew there was no way out as she felt him grab at her top tearing it. She knew there was no one around this time. There was no Chad. No Zeke. No Sharpay. Nobody. She prayed that she would see someone walk through the door. Someone who would come and help her. Hoping that someone would be Troy.
But somewhere deep down inside, she had a feeling. A feeling that it would be a repeat of last time and he wouldn't come for her.
Troy screeched his tires to a halt as he arrived outside James's house. He know whether to go in through the front door, or go through the back like Tiffany said and maybe get to her quicker.
He jumped out of the car a sprinted round the back, of the house seeing an big closed in green surrounded by a wall. Troy climbed up onto a bin before jumping and gripping onto the wall scarped his skin as he pulled himself up.
He gazed around noticing a shed in the corner of the big garden. Hearing a bang then a whimper his heart started hammering.
Gabriella whimpered as James slammed her now naked body against the wooden wall of the shed. She was pinned between him and the wall. He couldn't move.
He thrust his tongue into her mouth moaning as he rubbed his boxer clad member against her notch, making her shudder from disgust.
"I'm going to make you scream for me" he told her as he roughly shoved one of his fingers inside of her causing her to yelp out in pain.
He forcefully shoved 3 fingers in and out of her sucking on her skin leaving marks as he moaned, enjoying what he was doing to her.
He pulled his fingers out placing them in his mouth, grunting as he tasted her juices. Tasted her.
"You taste so good" James told her as he licked his final juice coated finger.
He pulled down his boxers standing before her.
Gabriella closed her tear flooded eyes, as she prepared herself from her worst nightmare. As she prepared herself for the feeling that made her want to be sick. The rape.
But it never came.
Instead she felt herself being covered, by something warm, something that smelt like Troy.
Gabriella opened her eyes to see Troy standing before her wrapping his hooded jumped around her exposed body.
Gabriella looked down to see a naked James groaning on the floor. Holding his side in pain.
Gabriella felt the warmth of Troy leave her side as he, stomped on James's body that lay on the floor, before dropping to his knees and pounding his fists into his face.
Gabriella shivered and stood still as she watched the sight in front of her. She couldn't believe what had just happened. He had almost raped her. He had kept her here chained, making her suffer. Until he had what he wanted.
But he hadn't got it.
Troy had saved her. He had come. She should never had doubted him. But she didn't think it was possible. She didn't think that she would be found. By anyone. But she was. By Troy. He had come for her. He saved.
Gabriella snapped back, to see Troy still continually pounding a motionless James.
"Troy Stop" Gabriella whimpered
Troy turned around as heard the whimper of his wife from behind him. Allowing the motionless man across the floor he crawled over to her taking her body into his arms, as she burst into tears as he held her.
He pulled her face away from his chest, wiping her eyes and cheeks to rid them of the ear that look like they haven't left since she had been there.
"Brie we need to get you dressed and out of here ok" Troy explained to he as she nodded just wanting to leave.
"Brie I'll be back in 5 minutes I need to go and get something to cut these chains off" Troy told her as he failed to be able to pull the chains off her wrists.
"No Troy don't leave me" Gabriella whimpered, as she grabbed his wrist begging him not to leave her.
"Baby I'll be take in 2 minutes I promise nothings going to happen to you trust me" Troy told her as she reluctantly nodded allowing him to go.
Gabriella's heart started pounding as Troy left the shed. She stared down and the body laying meters away from her. The same body that no less than 5 minutes ago had her pushed up against the wall. Ready to….to…. Rape her.
Gabriella's body went cold as the realization kicked in. she was nearly raped. She was less than seconds away from being raped, and if would have happened. If Troy hadn't come for her.
Gabriella jumped as the door creaked open, and Troy come walking in axe in his hand.
"Brie I need you to hold you arms apart so I can break the hand cuffs off" Toy told her.
Gabriella nodded and spread open her arms leaving enough space, for Troy to be able to cut the chains off her.
Troy held the axe and slammed the axe down snapping the chains freeing Gabriella's wrists.
Gabriella held her wrists up rubbing them feeling the circulation start to form back in her wrists.
"Brie Please put these on we need to get out of here" Troy told her holding up her jeans.
Gabriella nodded as Troy put each leg through the hole of the trousers fro her. He ignored the sting in his chest as she jumped every time his hand come in contact with her skin.
He left the button undone knowing that he needed to get her out of there as soon as possible, so with one swoop Troy lifted her up carrying her bridal style as they headed to the car.
Gabriella closed her eyes as she inhaled the sent of Troy. Feeling safe being in his arms loving the comfort he gave to her.
And she new this time everything was different, because he had come for her. There was no leaving her for someone else or leaving her for someone else to deal with. He had come for her.
He had saved her.
