Part 3/3
Rated R- Violence, some language
Maria clutched her stomach and began to cry in pain as the tears ran
uncontrolably down her face. She crawled slowly but surely across the floor,
as far away from Hank as possible and finally rested against the wall in the
corner of the room.
"Just so you don't try and get away again, this should help." Hank got on the
other side of the dresser and pushed it in front of the door so that it
slammed against it almost securely planting it there.
Maria began to think of what to do next as she seen Hank hobbling his way
towards her. 'Think Maria Think' suddenly images of wrestling came into her
mind. She remembered clicking threw the channels passing a wrestling program,
even though she actually didn't stop to watch it she remembered seeing a
couple moves on it. 'Duh...Maria wrestling is fake...maybe this could
actually help me..Oh what the hell might as well try it' she thought.
Maria got up from her sitting position and squatted down still feeling the
effects from that boot to the stomach she winced but knew she had to do
something. So with all the power, what little it was, that she had left in
her she lunged at Hank wrapping her arms around his waist and speared him to
the ground landing on top of him.
"Holy crap it worked" she said aloud almost congratulating herself that she
actually pulled that off, she clentched her fists and started pounding on
Hank as hard as she could.
Meanwhile...
Michael walked up to his trailor and opened the screen door "Home Sweet Home"
he said mocking all of those 'happy' people who used that phrase to describe
their homes.
"Hell on Earth is more like it" He said as he approached the refrigerator and
opened the door looking for some sort of drink that was not filled with
alcohol.
Michael stopped suddenly and looked up towards the door. 'Was that a red
jetta parked outside?' he slammed the refrigerator shut and walked over to
the door and peered outside at the car that was parked slightly to the side
of the trailer, he looked around for any sign of Maria.
"Where is she I know she wouldn't just ditch her mom's car like that after
the fuss she put over it going to Marathon" he whispered searching for the
blond haired girl.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Maria stopped hitting Hank as soon as her ears picked up on a sound comming
from outside the room but definately inside the trailer. She slowly made her
way to the dresser in front of the door and tried moving it out of the way,
but her aching wrists, stomach, and ankle prevented her from moving it far.
She stopped and listened closely and heard something like a door slamming,
relief washed over her and she started screaming for him in a shaky voice,
the man who would save her and take her away from this horrible place was out
there."Michael, Michael!!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Michael turned his head towards the hall that lead to his room and heard her
calling out to him with a voice filled with relief but still laced with
fear..He jogged down the hallway and tried the door to his room but when he
pushed it in it didn't move.
"Maria what the hell is going on, why are you in my room, Whats Wrong?!?" he
asked concerned.
"I can't get out the dresser is blocking the door, Michael please just get me
out-" her sentence came to a halt when a hand reached up and grabbed her hair
and pulled it in the direction where it was comming from. Maria knew who it
was and when the hand pulled her around she swung her arm hoping to clip the
certain someone in the face with her fist, but this person was wiser this
time and put his other arm up and guarded from her oncomming swing then
quickly punched her in the stomach with a force it broke a rib and then upper
cutted her right in the jaw. Maria moaned and fell to the floor and started
coughing up blood, Hank pulled her up again by her hair and held her there in
front of him.
"I'm going to kill you now you little whore" Hank said matter of factly.
"Maria, Maria!?" he heard the contact with the fist and Maria's mouth and
heard her moan as she hit the floor and started coughing, He also heard what
Hank said to his Maria, how dare he actually say those words to her. "Hank
leave her alone what are you doing to her?" that was it for Michael thats
all he needed to say. He backed up and started ramming the door with his
shoulder.
"No please" Maria let out above a whisper, blood spilling from her mouth, she
weakly held her hands up to protect herself. Hank grabbed her by her
shoulders and held her up throwing her against the wall, her head hit a old
Mirror that was positioned there and as it broke into a hundred peices, a
couple jagged ends rammed into her head and cut it making the back of her
head start to bleed, a wave of dizziness came over her as her knees almost
fully collapsed, Hank put both of his hands around her throat and started to
squeeze them, he lifted her from her feet in a hanging position and squeezed
with a force that Maria started gasping for air.
Michael heard her gasping and that was it. "Concentrate" he ordered himself
as he closed his eyes and held out his hand towards the door. He pulled all
his power together and concentrated on the dresser blocking the door,
blocking him from saving his love. Michael's face turned a deep red and
started shaking slightly as he forced his power out on the object, the
dresser moved with almost lightning speed and crashed into his bed sending
peices of wood everywhere. When he heard the loud crash he opened his eyes,
and had a shocked 'did i just do that' look on his face, he kicked open the
door and surveyed the room.
Michael looked around, it looked like a tornado hit his room, his eyes kept
moving till he found what he was looking for and he then advanced towards the
two people.
Maria looked at Michael and some tears escaped and fell down her cheeks, she
was still trying to take in any air that would come to her 'What a way to go
looking at his beautiful face, Goodbye I Love-' she couldn't complete her own
thought as her eyes started to roll up and her eyelids started to flutter
shut.
Michael moved towards them and seen the look Maria gave him before her eyes
started to flutter it looked like a Goodbye look and Michael could not handle
that.
"No!" he yelled with an uncontrolable rage, he put his arms under Hanks and
raised them swiftly breaking the hold he had on Maria.
Maria fell to the ground motionless and just layed there while more blood
spilled from her mouth.
As Soon as Michael broke the hold he swung wildly at Hank, first a direct hit
to his nose *crunch* he felt the bone break easily. Hank staggered back and
fell but Michael grabbed his shirt and pulled him back up, He swung again and
connected with his eye, when Hank slouched he punched him twice in his
stomach, then uppercutted him. Hank stood there wobbly for a second then
Michael took his fist and slammed it into his neck hitting his windpipe. Hank
finally fell to the ground and layed there not moving.
Michael stood there for a second and looked down at him he hoped he did
break his windpipe, he hoped Hank was either dead or slowly suffocating to
death for hurting Maria...
"Maria" Michael said as he turned around and looked at the girl laying on the
floor not moving. "Oh God No" he hurried up to her and knelt down beside her.
He put his fingers to her neck and felt a very weak pulse.
Michael bent down and whispered in her ear "Please stay with me Maria I need
you here, Please." Michael's thoughts raced around in his head, 'What should
I do, Bring her to Max's..that might take to long, I need every second...I
Won't let her die.' It was like right then his mind made the decision for
him, he looked her over and seen the blood comming out of her mouth 'Thats to
much for a mouth wound it has to be internal' he said to himself as he put
his hand over her stomach 'What did Max say i have to make the connection
with her looking at me, But how? She's hanging on to a thread, this is going
to have to work without that.' he decided.
'Just concentrate on Maria and how much you love her and how she makes you
feel.' He started thinking about her and then his mind filled with all of
~¤~ Them Fighting in her car on the way to Marathon, Them sitting in that
cheap hotel room and her telling him about her dad and her thinking just like
him, 'There's got to be something out there better than Roswell,N.M, The
First Kiss they shared at The Crashdown "Just to calm her down", Them During
the Heatwave making out at The Crashdown..In the eraser room, and Finally Him
telling her she was getting to 'Intense' at the old Soap Factory.~¤~
During these flashes Michael felt the rib that was previously broken start
reconstructing itself back together, he felt the bleeding inside her come to
a halt as it magically sewn its way back together as if it never happened.
He opened his eyes and looked at her, She still wasn't awake. He looked over
her body and noticed her wrists turning a bruised color he put his hands to
them and rubbed his thumb over them and they appeared again as her beautiful
skin color, as if nothing had put a strain on them before. Michael now looked
back to her face and seen the almost dried tear tracks on her cheeks, and the
one side that had a nasty welt on it 'Probably from Hank hitting her the damn
bastard' he thought as he put his hand to her cheek and touched it lightly,
caressing the welt until it was no more. He grabbed her shoulder and rolled
her over and waved his hand over the blood that was dripping out from the
back of her head stopping it instantly.
Michael stood up and walked to his closet and pulled a blanket out of it he
carried it over to where Maria layed and sat down, he then pulled her close
and postitioned her head on his lap and covered her with the blanket. He
started stroking her hair, pulling a few peices out of her face an fixing
them with the rest of it.
Michael looked over to Hank who still was not moving, He wasn't about to go
over there and check him either, he was wishing he was dead and by the looks
of it, his wish came true.
A couple hours had passed and Michael was starting to get really worried, he
was still in the same position as before and Maria hadn't even twitched or
anything. "Maria please wake up, I need you..I was being so stupid before
telling you I couldn't get attached, the fact is I Love you and I need you to
be here with me." Michael said with tears forming in his eyes, he looked away
into the darkness that surrounded them.
He then felt what he'd been waiting the past two hours for. Maria's head
began to move and she moaned a bit. Her eyes
flickered open and she looked around, blurry she couldn't make anything out,
she hoped what she remembered was just a very hellish nightmare, but as her
eyes began to adjust, she looked around and noticed this was not her room,
not even her house. Maria bolted and sat upright and started panting from
fright, she looked around for Hank and as her hands started to back her up a
bit she felt two hands on her shoulders. She spun around and met Michael's
eyes with her own wide eyes that were filled with fear.
"Michael?" she gasped almost not believing that he was there with her.
"Oh Thank God Maria, I thought you were Never going to wake up I was so
worried sitting here" He said to her as he pulled her in a tight hug and
sighed in relief. Maria's eyes scanned the room looking for Hank.
"Where is he, Did he Um...What I mean is did he rape me?!" she asked with
tears in her eyes still hugging Michael, holding on to him for dear life,
like he was her security blanket.
"Hank is over there" Michael pointed his finger at the man laying there in
disgust. "And No I don't think he raped you, By the looks of things before I
got here it you gave him one hell of a fight." Michael gave her one of his
half-smiles and Maria let out a breath of relief.
"How do you feel?" He asked as he looked her over for the millionth time.
"I feel better now that your here, but other than that I just have a
headache. What happened to my injuries, I know I just didn't get a headache
out of all this." she asked confused.
"Well when I saw you laying there hurt, I knew I had to do something, so I
just somehow controled my powers and was able to heal you, I never
experienced anything like that in my life before..Sadness,Fear,Anger that you
were hurt but most of all I felt Over- Whelming Love for you" Michael smiled
at her " I Love You Maria" He said with a Sincere look on his face.
"I'm so Happy you were able to control your powers Spaceboy" Maria Smiled at
this and finally got to tell him why she actually came to find him, what she
actually wanted to tell him, she didn't feel desperate or pathetic anymore
because she knew he felt the same way she did "I Love You To Michael" She
said as she leaned in closer and kissed him.
