Disclaimer: I don't own anything Red Eye...oh do I wish though.

Authors note: My present time ones are shorter then the past ones because it deals mainly with Cassia being captured. The past ones are longer because at some point the present and past are going to collide. Mixing together. So bare with me :). Yay two chapters in one day! I am pretty excited about it. I will take a break after this one and wait till tomorrow. Easter is right around the corner and I have a lot of things to do. Tomorrow is Good Friday so I will try to write as much as I can of a chapter. Saturday I may not be able to...and Sunday the same. So if this is the only chapter for the weekend. I hope you all enjoy it. Please review!

A Painful Passion

Ch. 3

Cassia didn't know how long she had been out, but she was awoken by a large bucket of water being thrown on her. She woke up panting. She wasn't bound anymore and she was in a completely different room. She glared at the man who had tossed water on her.

"A hefty wake up would've done it" She growled.

"This was more define, you'll live"

She watched as the man walked out of her room and heard the door lock. She sighed and sat down on the small cot that was in her room. She put her head in between her hands and rubbed her face. How could this have happened? Things were going so well. Then HE comes back into her life. She thought that he was dead...

Suddenly the door was unlocked and in came Ricardo. Cassia looked up and rolled her eyes.

"Well did the princess get her beauty sleep"

"If you call that sleep"

Ricardo smiled and stood in the middle of the room. He brought out a phone. He walked in front of Cassia and handed it to her. She looked up confused.

"What the fuck is this? Who am I suppose to call?"

"Your husband."

Cassia stood up, "What good will it do me"

Ricardo slapped her across the face, the stinging adding more to her already swollen face.

"You don't ask questions, I need you to tell Jackson the terms of this arrangement. He will listen to you"

"What terms?"

"The terms for you of course, if he wants you he has to find you...and then..."

Cassia raised an eye brow, "Then what...?" She hesitantly asked. Ricardo smiled.

"Then we fight...till the death, we shall see who deserves you..."

Cassia became outraged.

"I AM NOT SOME PRIZE TO BE WON!"

This only caused her to have another blow to the face, after which Ricardo picked her up slamming her against the wall, his dirty hands roaming her body she whimpered under his touch. She just wanted to die then go through this again. He leaned closer to her ear.

"My pretty pet. This is not a negotiable matter, now do it" He let go and slammed the phone down in her hand, "I'll give you some privacy"

"What do I tell him?"

"Tell him to meet us at four zero eight zero, he will understand"

Ricardo went out of the room and shut the door. Cassia wiped off her face and then walked over to the cot and sat down. She pressed the phone on and dialed the house phone. I pressed the phone to my ear , it rang three times before i heard his sweet voice.

Hello?

I began to form tears to my eyes, I don't know how long it has been since I had heard his voice, I realized that he was repeating hello, I shook my head and answered.

"Jackson..."

'Cassie? What the fuck, what is going on!'

"Jackson please just--"

'Don't you dare tell me to Calm down, where are you--'

"JACKSON! Ricardo...he...he kidnapped me" She heard nothing, "Jack--"

' I'm going to kill him'

"Jackson, calm down..."

'Has he hurt you?'

"Jackson that inst--"

'HAS he hurt you' Jackson growled.

"yes...since I got here"

'I will kill him, baby I am going to make him wish he never laid a hand on you...where are you'

"Honestly...I don't know...but he told me...he told me where you can find us...he says you know it well"

'Where?'

"Some place ...four zero eight zero..."

'four zero..eight...zer-- fuck. Are you sure?'

"Positive...whats wrong?"

'You're going to the Luxs Atlantis'

"You mean...where--"

'Yep.'

"Well this should be interesting" Cassia laughed

'This isn't a laughing matter...your in danger...I promised this wouldn't happen...'

"This wasn't your fault--" Suddenly the phone was ripped from her hands.

"I'm sorry the young beauty cant talk anymore, hope to see you soon" Ricardo clicked end, "I would give you privacy but I wouldn't give THAT much time to tell him one thing"

"Go to hell."

"Oh darling that mouth of yours is going to get you in trouble one day"

"You won't live to see that day"

"Oh really" Ricardo grabbed her and pinned her against him and the wall again, then he roughly kissed her, she screamed and tried to push him off. He tried forcing his tongue inside her mouth, she managed to roughly throw him off for a sec.

"You try that again and I will bit your tongue off you dirty bastard"

"Not if I make you willing..."

"That wont EVER happen"

Ricardo smiled and ran his hand down her abdomen, "Well shall see my pet...we shall see" He dropped her and she was left on the floor. She put her face in her hands and began to sob, all she wanted was to be home, with her family and also..just to be in her husbands arms.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"... hope to see you soon!" And the line clicked. Jackson was furious. How DARE he take her. He had no right to go about this. Ricardo wasn't even suppose to be alive, they were told he was killed. Obviously someone messed up.

Jackson sat down on the couch and put his head in his hands. He was suppose to protect her...he promised that much to her after he had left the organization. And now he screwed this up. He leaned against the couch and looked at the table. It was a picture of him and Cassia. It was taken at her birthday party by Jessica. She was sitting on his lap, and was leaning forward, laughing, her blonde hair falling forward, brown eyes sparkling with glee. She was in a tight black long sleeved top and low ride jeans with a belt. He was just smiling with a hand on his face, jeans, white t shirt, with a blue plaided design over shirt. He remembers that day she wanted to not wear some fancy to do shit and just be casual..it was her birthday party after all. He smiled and touched the picture frame when a voice rang out in the house.

"Daddy?" the young voice called walking into the room. She stood only 3 feet tall, blonde hair, dark brown eyes. Spitting image of her mother. Jackson sat up.

"Corrine? Sweetie what is it, I am in the living room"

The young girl walked in and stood in front of her father. He rubbed her sides and she stood in between his legs.She looked so sad.

"Was that mommy?" Jackson hid the pain in his eyes

"Yes sweetie that was mommy.."

"Is she coming home..."

Jackson ran his hand down her hair and smoothed it out. He smiled.

"She is going to be away for a little while...but I promise you...mommy will be back"

The little one nodded , tears threatening her eyes, she had never been away from her mother for this long. And her father was acting very weird to her. Jackson noticed the questions in his daughters eyes and took her into his arms, squeezing her. He had to get his wife back. And whoever he had to kill to get to her...he would do it.
