A death wish
...
OH SHIT... he thought that she was drowning, but that wasn't the case.
"Explain yourself, now!"
But instead of explaining why he was there in the bathroom, Christian let out the breath that he had been holding, absolutely relieved that she was OK.' She's alive...'
He then grabbed a towel from the vanity, handed it over to her and turned around.
Well, at that moment Ana really could explode.
She instantly stepped out the tub, and wrapped the towel around her body." I'm covered..."
The moment he turned around, Ana demanded an explanation, while glaring mercilessly at him." Why is the bathroom door damaged, and what the hell are you doing in here?!"
In response, he locked eyes with the young woman with the pretty blue eyes, and said." I thought that you were drowning... you didn't respond to my knocks and so I assumed you were in trouble"
"How would I be in trouble?!" She exclaimed, and stepped closer towards him." Only you and I are in this God forsaken house in this God forsaken place!"
"So you did hear me call for you and heard me knock?" he accused, and gave her a stern look." You just decided NOT to respond?! Do you know how dangerous that is?!"
"I did not hear you, OK?!" Ana replied, and gritted her teeth." I was in deep thought"
In his gray eyes, Ana saw that he didn't believe her... ASSHOLE.
Well, that did it. She had enough...
"Get out!" she threatened, while standing in front of him.
"You shou—" Christian began, but she mercilessly cut him off.
"Get the fuck out! Now!" she spat, the venom in her voice evident and clear.
At that, he huffed and decided to let it go. For now…
Tears welled up in Ana's eyes, the anger consuming her whole being. How could he be so clueless?! Didn't he know what PRIVACY meant?! Barging into bathrooms, while people were in it! PERVERT!
"We will continue this talk." He simply said, and walked out the bathroom.
The moment he was gone, Ana wrapped her arms tightly around her body. She wanted to get dressed, but that big bully broke down the freaking door! As a sigh escaped her lips, she walked towards the door. It was split in two; un-fuckingbelievable!
"Savage." Was the word that left her lips, as she walked towards one of the bedrooms to see what she could find to wear. There was a closet full of clothes; she hoped that some of the clothing was her size.
.
.
While Christian waited for her in the kitchen, Ana grabbed the first thing that fit, a long skirt and blouse, and as soon as she had combed her hair, she grabbed his leather jacket and used the other exit to get out of the house.
She was in need of some fresh air, because if she had to deal with that man one second longer, she would definitely burst!
As Ana walked with huge strides away from the house, a hundred and one thoughts swirled around in her head.
What to do?! She didn't have a phone on her, because she didn't get a chance to grab anything, when they made a run for it.
Yes, those people saved her life, but up until now that bully hadn't given her any explanation. Who was after her? Why were they after her? Those were questions that bully surely could answer, but he just refused for some reason.
Asshole... if that wasn't enough, he barged into the bathroom like he owned her or something!
"I'm NOT his property!" she muttered under her breath, obviously annoyed by the man.
There are some lines you just don't cross, but Christian clearly didn't respect her boundaries. He had abused his strength and now all hell had broken lose. Who did he think he was, invading her privacy like that.
Clearly, the man cannot be trusted! Ana walked on the sidewalk, hoping that she could hitchhike and try to get home... or a Police Station. However, the road was deserted, and at one point snow fell from the sky.
"Great!" she growled, and huffed aloud." Just great!"
"Damn it! Damn it! Way to go Anastasia!" She exclaimed, and felt a sudden fear take over her.
What must she do now?! Should she go back?!
Seriously?! She cannot go back to that savage!
But at a certain point, it became cold and dark and she was shivering all over...
Boy, was she scared! She was in the middle of nowhere, and the only person she knew here was the one person that she was angry at. What made matters worse was that in the distance, she heard a disturbing noise that startled her.
Without a thought, Ana turned around and hastily walked back in the direction of the house.
"I gotta go back" She uttered, but all of a sudden she heard a voice from behind her.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here."
Ana gasped aloud, and turned to face the person who spoke. But there wasn't just one, but three men, and they all stared her down like predators.
"Are you lost little lady?" one of them said.
.

~ In the meantime ~
.
The second Christian realized that she was missing, he texted Taylor and then jumped inside the black SUV.
"FUCK!" He growled, and stepped on the gas pedal." This WOMAN! THIS WOMAN WILL FUCKING GET HERSELF KILLED!"
He was beyond PISSED!
At that moment, his phone rang, and he answered." Grey here."
"Christian, how can you let her slip through your fingers!" Taylor shouted in his ears.
"She is the most stubborn woman I've ever met!" Christian barked at him." That's why!"
"Well, you didn't do a good job protecting her, did you?"
"Fuck you, Taylor!" he cursed, and hung up the phone.
Christian was so angry and noticed both his hands shaking on the steering wheel." Where could she be?!"
Aaarghhh!
It was then, when his phone rang again." Explanation later, Grey." he heard Ros say from the other side of the line." Right now, do you need assistance to look for 'the package'?"
"No, I don't... I'll get her back myself" Christian replied, and hung up the phone.
.
.
.
Meanwhile, Ana shook her head in response." N- no... I'm not lost." she replied, and began to walk faster... away from those creepy men.
"Let us take you home then" she heard the other one say, but Ana shook her head and walked with huge strides.
She yelped aloud, when they managed to catch up with her, one of them grabbing her harshly at her wrist, making Ana stop in her tracks." Let. go. of. me" she whispered, and glared up at the man.
The stranger was tall and he was smirking devilishly. He towered over her, and all Ana could do was hastily take a few steps back from him.
"Don't be afraid. We won't hurt you." the creep said." Cause we need you... you're important to us."
Ana shook her head furiously in response." Get away from me"
She was absolutely terrified! Never before had a person scared her this much. There was just something about these three men... so terrifying, so appalling. The way they looked at her, made the hairs on the back of her neck stand up, and her heart pound hard against her chest.
"Leave me alone!" She said, her voice almost failing her, because she was so frightened.
At one point, she gained her courage and tried to run away but the tall, strong man ran after her and grabbed her roughly by her upper arms.
"Let me go! Let go of me!" Ana shouted from the top of her lungs, hoping and praying that Christian noticed that she wasn't at the house anymore.
She even tried to yank herself from the creep, but he was too strong for her.
"Stop fighting me, Miss Steele" the man said, his voice cold, and harsh, making her skin crawl." We only want your help with something..."
Ana began to tear up, and shook her head." I... I don... don't know what you are talking about." she managed to say." Y... you must have me con... confused with someone else. I don't know anything, let me go pl..."
But she wasn't able to continue, because the other man placed a cloth over Ana's nose and mouth.
Well, within a few seconds it became dark before her very eyes...
Noooooo.
In those last seconds, Ana felt such an emptiness inside her heart. Was this the way she would meet her maker?
.
.
.
In the meantime, Christian drove above the speed limit. "Dangerous people are after her, and yet she goes on a stroll at night, while it snowed" he muttered, and let out deep breaths." Selfish, stubborn, bull headed..."
And then he stopped speaking, because from a distance he saw three men walking towards a black car.
One was carrying someone in his arms...
A woman?! It was dark, but in the light of the moon Christian was able to make out that the person was not conscious.
Fuck... it's her! The ENTITY had found her... FUCK.
Without a thought, Christian stepped on the breaks, making the SUV come to a halt wit screeching tires.
(He knew that it was Ana, because of the leather jacket that she was wearing.)
In a flash, Christian stood in front of the three men. They locked eyes, and then they all took a fighting position.
"Mind your own business." one of Christian's opponents said with an expressionless look on his face.
Christian took his jacket off, and replied." She IS MY business..."
Then all hell broke loose. The three men fought hard and Christian was sure that at one point he had injured his ribs, but he kept fighting. His opponents were very strong, and good in martial arts. At one point one man had his hands wrapped around Christian's neck. He threw punches at his assailants, but at a certain point he was on his knees, and the others towering over him.
"For 'the ENTITY'" all three thugs said in unison.
In that second, Christian realized that if he gave up now, he would lose the fight.
And that meant that he would lose 'the package'... ( the package= Ana)
That meant that she would be in the ENTITY's claws.
Well, that was enough motivation for him to fight harder!
Christian didn't know where he got the strength from, but fortunately he did, and never before did he fight so hard for anything in his life.
.
.
When he finally had won the fight, Christian was bleeding all over, his muscles aching, and his head pounding as if it was about to explode.
"Miss Steele" he uttered, and walked with a limp towards the other car.
The moment his eyes landed on her face, and made sure that she had a pulse and was breathing, Christian let out a relieved breath." Let's get you to safety, Miss Steele..."
.
.

~ Hours later ~
.
.
Ana woke up, gasping for air. She was in a sitting position and observed her surroundings. She didn't recognize the room she was in. Where was she again?
"This isn't the room, where I got the clothes from." she whispered, and tried her best to remember what had happened.
"Don't worry, Miss Steele." she heard a voice say, and that's when their eyes locked onto one another." You're safe"
It was then, when Ana noticed that Christian was injured. He had a torn lower lip, his left cheek was swollen, there was a huge gash on his right eye brow, and his left eye was swollen and blue.
"What happened to you?" she asked, feeling absolutely guilty." Did you save me from those thugs?"
He was so angry, and knew that he had to leave right now, before he said things that he would regret." Tomorrow, Miss Steele." he ordered." We will talk tomorrow"
Ana huffed loudly in response, and rolled her eyes at him." Why tomorrow?"
"Because I said so" Christian answered, and turned on his heel.
"Where are we?" she asked, her brows furrowed." Can you at least tell me that?"
He turned around and looked her straight in the eyes." Somewhere safe" he replied, without breaking eye contact.
"Like the last house? Where I was supposed to be safe too?!" she spat, her voice filled with anger, and fear.
"Well, YOU WERE THE ONE WHO LEFT!" Christian accused, and glared at her." How the fuck am I suppose to protect you, to keep you safe, when you run around like no one's after you?!"
"You were bein..." she started, but Christian was NOT finished speaking, and cut her off harshly.
"How can you be so selfish! I told you a dozen times that you are in grave danger! Bad people are after you." He barked, while towering over her." Do you have a fucking death wish?! Well, do you?!"
She shook her head in response." I didn't mean to..."
Ana saw how angry he was at her, and felt so guilty. Like Christian had told her, she was still in grave danger and instead of cooperating, she put herself in harms way.
The way he looked at her, made Ana think of the way her father used to look at her, whenever he was disappointed in her.
That was something Ana's heart couldn't take... and it became too much for her.
At that very moment, her emotions got the better of her. The man who stood in front of her, was the only one around, so she didn't care if he saw her falter. She broke down, and let it all out. Her body shook violently from her loud sobs. Taken aback, Christian watched as Ana cried. He felt so uncomfortable, and didn't know what to do or say.
'Damn it! Why aren't you here, Taylor?' He thought, and had the urge to walk away.
However, he knew he couldn't do that. So instead, he took a step closer to the young woman and carefully wrapped his arms around her small frame. He wasn't sure how she would react, but he took the risk anyway. This seemed like the right thing to do. Right?
At first Ana didn't welcome the hug, and almost pushed him away. She wasn't used to human contact anymore. After her mother left when she was six, she never saw her again. She sometimes forgets how she looked like, and yet Ana remembered her mom's loving touches and warm hugs. Her father was a great dad, but he wasn't a 'hug kinda person.' He showed his affection towards Ana through words and wonderful deeds.
At one point the awkward hug turned into a proper one. It became a tight, and warm one. One Ana didn't even know that she needed. As her eyes fluttered shut, Christian held her even tighter, his anger completely evaporating into thin air. At the moment his heart was doing strange things though. Really strange things...
Ana was so innocent, and didn't deserve what had happened and what was to come. The ENTITY wasn't done with her. That, he was certain of. They wanted this innocent young woman in their claws, so she could give them what her father tried to keep from them. And because he defied them, he was assassinated seven years ago.
As Christian held a sobbing Ana, he vowed that he wouldn't let it go that far... he was going to protect her from the ENTITY no matter what.
No matter how stubborn she was...
