Lucy's POV
The room that Blanche has me in is freezing. I cannot seem to get warm. I only wish Dusty could locate me and find away to save me without having to wed that mad woman. I hate judging people and I hardly ever do...all right I do all the time or did all the time, but that was before I fell for Dusty.
I wrap my arms around me and bring my knees up to my chin. The single thing that is keeping me going is my unborn child. If something were to happen to her, I do not know what I would do. Nicole Sierra has become my livelihood...next to Dusty she is my everything. I have to keep going for her. I have to keep going for her and Dusty. If nothing else.
I have family. A mother who I love tremendously. A father who I will always love, but will be forever alienated from. A grandmother who has seen the world, and has hopes of me becoming a classy woman in society. She is a woman I have let down when I fell in love with the town hooligan, as she would call him.
I have Aunts as well, one Aunt who dated Dusty back when they were teenagers. She once was in love with him. Now she cannot stand the sight of him. She blames him for her sister's death. Her twin, whom Dusty did Love, I am not too sure, whether the love for both of them was the same love, he has for me. I hope the love he has for me is stronger and more passionate.
The thing with my Aunts is they never loved Dusty wholeheartedly, it was all one-sided love on his half, and both were in love with other men.
My other Aunts my father's sisters, I rarely see. I know I should. One of them left town. Right when Dusty and I were just coming together. I remember a few months before she had left, she mentioned that if she was not already involved with two men already. She would go for Dusty is a heartbeat. I never took her seriously, but now that I think about it. She had always had her eyes on him.
My other Aunt is a married woman with a family. However that does not mean she will not look. However, I do not think I would have to worry. I am getting ahead of myself aren't I, hear I am worried about my Aunts and Dusty may be tying the knot with this Ellie person.
I close my eyes and rub my stomach. I try to assure my baby that everything is going to be fine.
"Lucy." I open my eyes. I hear a voice. Where is it coming from? "Lucy where are you."
Dusty, it is Dusty. He has come to rescue me. "Dusty I'm in here." I call out. I waited for him, and then I saw him. Then I saw her.
"Thank God I found you." He said as he started toward me.
"Not so fast Hun, your not going anywhere nears her." Ellie said in that awful twangy nasally voice of hers.
Dusty turned around. "You promised. You said if I married you, you would let her go." My world shattered when he said those words. He actually married her. To protect me. To protect our baby.
"I don't think so, hun. I'm not about to let a woman who is carrying your child to stay alive." Ellie pull out a gun and aims it right at me.
Dusty sees the gun and pleads with her to drop the gun. "Give me the gun Elle, please, I promise you. If you let Lucy and the baby live I'll do whatever you want."
Ellie laughed, "Do you honestly think I'll fall for that, I'm may be crazy but I'm not stupid. The tramp dies."
Being my ever-stupid self, I run up and push Dusty out of the way. I jump on to Ellie and begin to struggle for the gun. We struggle for a good thirty seconds before I hear the shot of the gun echo throughout the building. The next thing I know, every thing is black, and I am hitting the ground.
Tbc....I am evil.
