The two bodies lay unconscious on the floor as Ana stood by staring at them, pumped up with adrenaline from the rush of what just happened. Taylor, Sawyer, Gail and Christian where running into the main hall from all different areas of the house. No doubt, they heard the ruckus and thought that she was in grave danger as usual.
"Ana, Ana are you ok?" Christian said and grabbed Ana into his arms looking at her as if she were a wounded child.
"I am perfectly fine." Ana said with a smug smile.
'You will never doubt my capabilities again Mr. Grey!' she thought to herself.
Her thirst had got the better of her while Christian was on an urgent call. She quietly left the bedroom and traipsed down the stairs with the hopes of getting back before Christian noticed. While in the kitchen she noticed the security camera at the elevator showing the two masked beings getting into the elevator and as she ran to alert Christian the elevator pinged their arrival. Ana had two choice, run and have Christian continue to underestimate her or face the two and let him see that she fully capable of taking care of herself.
It was pretty clear by the two laying on the floor that that she chose to prove herself, as they had entered they seemed pretty shocked to see her waiting for them and when they attacked her she throat jabbed both of them as hard as she could and they both passed out. Ana wasn't sure if it their shock or their loud shrieking scream that caused them to pass out but she glad that she had done a great job.
"It is Jinny and Miwa." Taylor said looking very grim after he had pulled of the masks.
"Who the hell is Jinny and Miwa supposed to be?" Ana asked looking at Christian.
"Elena and Sarah's submissive." He replied taking his phone out just as the two began to wake up.
Ana pulled Christians phone out of his hand and asked him,
"Who are you calling?"
"Elena, I want to know what the fuck is going on."
"I will tell you, it is a setup, and they told us that she a harmless tart but the bitch has a fist of steel." Jinny replied looking very upset and angry.
"What did they ask you to do?" Christian asked grabbing Jinny by the collar.
"No need to get rough Mr Grey, I will tell you everything willingly, if you promised to let us go and not call the police."
"Fine!" Christian said pushing Jinny away.
"They asked us to kidnap her while the rest of you were busy. Elena stole the code from your mother's diary and gave it to us. They wanted us to bring her to Elena's den where no-one would find her."
"What are you doing Jinny, they will kill us!" Miwa yelled at Jinny.
"I rather be beaten up buy them then go to jail!" Jinny replied.
"Taylor where were you?"
"There was an alarm triggered in the east and west wing Sawyer and I were looking into that."
"They created a diversion, I got a call about The Grace being set on fire." Christian said running his fingers though his hair.
"Ana I am so sorry!" Christian said looking at Ana.
"Take me to them Taylor!" Ana said ignoring Christian.
"Anastasia, Taylor will not take you anywhere near those two lunatics."
"Christian Grey, by now you should be able to tell that I am not someone who is weak and harmless. I am going to put an end to this issue with those to old hags for once and for all and I am going to do this my way!" Ana stood her ground and Christian glared into her eyes.
"She does give a solid punch Mr Grey!" Jinny added rubbing this throat.
Ana didn't wait for Christian or Taylor to say anything, she marched to the elevator and punched in her code, as she entered the elevator she looked into Christian eyes and said,
"Christian Grey, you are the most complicated man that I have ever met. I can't match you on any level. We have nothing in common but our love for each other. This is something I need to do alone, I am taking Taylor to help with your control issues and so that you can rest assured that I am safe. You need to let me do this, for me, for you and for our futureā¦.please." Christian nodded to Taylor.
"Sawyer deal with these two." Christian said as he went to his study.
'This is not right! I need to protect her.' He thought to himself.
"Mr Grey, I brought you some coffee." Gail said, she knew he needed it.
"Thanks Gail."
Two hours later
Christian paced the floor of his study, it was bad enough that he had let Ana go, now he couldn't get hold of Taylor and his mind was a wreck.
"I shouldn't have let her go!" He said out loudly.
A few minutes later the elevator pinged and he ran to it only his face tightened as Taylor stepped out alone. Taylor didn't seem worried, in fact he had a smug smile on his face that made Christian furious.
"Where the hell is she?" He asked.
"She insisted on going to the police station." Taylor said.
"What!"
"Mr Grey, Ms Steele is trained in martial arts, she is very well equipped to take care of herself. She marched right into Elena's den and basically beat the two of them black and blue. Then she hauled them out to the car and drove them to the police station."
"And you just left her there?"
"No sir, she insisted that she endue the full punishment for assaulting them and they endure the full punishment for trying to kidnap her."
"Get the car, I am going to fetch her!"
Christian was furious, what the hell was wrong with Taylor, he seemed to be enjoying the whole fiasco. Ana was in a heap of trouble, why didn't she come straight home and why did he let her go in the first place. He felt so out of control, he should be protecting her not just standing by and watching as things unfold around him.
'She does not need you!' his inner voice screeched at him.
'I need her!' he shouted back in his mind.
It was true, maybe she didn't need him, and maybe she was a strong independent woman that could throat jab two guys at the same time. Maybe that was why he loved her so much and why he knew that he needed her because she was a breath of fresh air and that was exactly what he needed.
He had never had that before, Ana was different, she questioned him, she pushed him to want o let go of his old cold way and she met him half way with open arms.
Ana watched the big clock at the police station ticking by, she knew that any minute Christian would be storming into the doors and demand they release her, she knew it yet she had still come to the police station. Actually she did it mostly because she knew her father would expect her to and so when she got to make her call, she call her father. At first he laughed and then he said he would be over to help her shortly.
"Thank God we not that far away." He said.
Ana only hoped that he would get there before Christian did, to her luck he did and she was relieved when he asked her to come home so they could talk.
"Ana, I never knew you to be a jealous type of girl honey." Ray said laughing.
"It isn't about jealously, it was about proving that I am not weak." She replied.
"Who would think that you are weak?" Ray asked.
"Dad, most people do, they look at me and this I am a harmless fly. Today was just one of those days when I had to prove that a harmless fly could also be dangerous."
"Why didn't you want Christian to come get you?"
"I guess I just want him to stew for a bit." Ana replied.
Ana wasn't even sure why she had gone to her parents, she just wanted to lay in her bed and fall asleep with no drama or confrontations. She showered, put on a set of her old PJ's and climbed under the covers. She was too tired, too tired to think and too tired to care.
