Ana
I walk in through the door and find myself in a normal looking foyer with laminated flooring and wooden walls with art covering them. If it wasn't for the fact I was hunting for my daughter I'd probably stop to admire the work.
I'm terrified. I don't know why I am inside, shouldn't I call someone for help? The police? My husband? All I know for certain is Jack isn't lying, my daughter is in here somewhere and that stops me from wasting time calling anyone.
"Hello?" My voice is barely a squeak and I try to cough to free it up. I don't know if I want to face Amaya's kidnapper or just find my daughter or what? I came in here without a plan, without a second thought and yes I'm beginning to regret that. What do I do when I find Amaya? Hopefully I'll be able to grab her and go, yes that seems like the right idea, but to do that I need to not get seen by her kidnapper or anyone else who could be lurking.
I peek my head around the first open door and see my baby girl lying there asleep on the couch, a teddy bear under her arm and her thumb in her mouth.
"Amaya." I breathe, so many emotions rush through me as I take five strides from the door to my daughter. I fall to my knees in front of the couch and stroke my hand through her brown hair, it's matted from sweat and tears. I scan her face, looking for sign of injury but all I see are the stains of her tears. I go to pull her off the couch and into my arms but a voice stops me, my hands hovering over her.
"We meet again Anastasia."
Jack
I should get into my car and leave, like I told Ana if I go in there I'll end up dead or in prison. I cannot face him again knowing what he did to me behind bars. If I do, I'll either kill him or end up being killed trying.
I know her daughter is in there for certain. I don't know why I kept in touch, why I answered the phone every time he called. Weakness? Stockholm Syndrome? My shrink thinks I have some dependence on him from the weeks we spent in a cell together and I need to find something else to be dependent on instead of his cruelty and that will help me move on but I don't know how, I'm working on it, I want to move on and live some life after spending ten years in prison.
This is killing me. I don't want what happened to me to happen to Ana and he was obsessed with her, he wanted to fuck her the way he was fucking me. He used my body for his own desires and in the process fucked my head up even more.
"Shit!" I growl reaching into my pocket for my phone, I am going to dial the one number I thought I'd never need to dial when I suddenly spot a black Audi SUV at the gate. It can't come in but I know whose vehicle it is, the philanthropist has a whole fucking fleet of them.
At least someone is here. I don't know what to do. My finger hovers over the number for Christian Grey's personal cell phone as I debate the pro's and con's of calling him. Letting him know I possibly led his wife into the scene of her death will put me in an early grave but it would be the least I deserved. I have to do something more to help her, leading her to Amaya just isn't enough.
I hear a loud scream, one I have heard before and my head whips around to the semi open blue door in a frenzy. I am frozen to the spot in fear.
Ana
"What are you doing here?" My voice is so quiet, so unlike my own. "Did you take Amaya?"
"I think I'm the one who's going to be asking the questions here Anastasia." His voice hisses, I haven't heard it in over twenty years but it's still as fresh as yesterday in my mind. I swallow hard, so scared that he will hurt me worse than he ever did before.
"You shared a cell with Jack Hyde." I say quietly and he momentarily looks shocked before regaining his equilibrium.
"That Fucker, I should have known not to trust someone I'd screwed."
"You're not denying it." I say standing up, trying to show that I'm not the scared kid I once was. He's older now, a lot older, if I remember right he's in his late fifties. He looks far more menacing now than he did, he has a tattoo on his neck that wasn't there before and he's bald, not a single hair on his head.
"Shut the fuck up."
"Please… I just want to take my daughter home…"
"And you will. After you fulfil my fantasies." He sneers and I close my eyes tight, Jack told me about these fantasies and I know that I won't be able to just grab my girl and run.
"Ok… I'll do anything just please… don't hurt Amaya."
"I haven't done far have I?" He spits and I give a weak smile.
"No, no you haven't, thank you." I say quietly.
"I don't go for them that young." He says and I nod, trying to be on his side hoping to by myself some time. "Now enough talking, strip." He says and I close my eyes sending a prayer up to the heavens above.
"Not in front of Amaya please?" I beg quietly.
"She'll be asleep for a while there, strong dose of sleeping pill will do that to a kid." He says and I sigh softly, I hope he's right that she won't see this but I also hope that she's ok, that the sleeping pill doesn't kill her.
I try to take my clothes off but my hands shake so much, he steps up to me and removes a knife from his pocket. I flinch as he takes the knife to my clothes, tearing them to shreds before he grabs my hair and yanks my head back eliciting a yelp from my throat.
"I am going to enjoy this and so are you and when I'm done with you Anastasia, then you can take your brat and go." He sneers angrily in my ear I want to scream but I can't, tears fill my eyes but I blink them back, desperate not to let them fall.
He uses his grip on my head to force me to my knees. I wriggle and fight as he unbuckles his belt with one hand while keeping a tight grip on my hair, I'm terrified, the only time I've ever felt fear like this was when I first found Amaya to be missing, that heart stopping moment when you realise everything goes wrong.
"On your hands." He says before pushing me so I land on my hands in perfect doggy position squeeze my eyes shut imagining I'm anywhere but here, I have to be anywhere but here just to survive it. I feel him pulling on remnants of my clothes, bearing more of my body to him. His sick hands trace my behind and I swallow hard, I know what's coming.
I think of home, all my kids out in the meadow, the rest of the family around smiling, laughing. Elliot and Christian at the barbeque…
"Ah!" I scream as a force hits my behind sending me flat onto my face, the wind completely knocked out of me. My behind stings and throbs as he sniggers in sadistic pleasure.
Christian
My phone rings and I look at the screen to see a blocked number. No one ever has a reason to call me on a blocked number and my cell phone is unlisted.
"Grey." I snap into the phone, hoping I sound normal to whoever it could be on the other side of the phone.
"Mr Grey, it's Jack Hyde here."
"Hyde?" I spit, what the fuck? I have had a team hunting this man down like the wild animal he is and he has the nerve to call me.
"Ana's in trouble." He says but he doesn't sound like he's happy about it, he sounds… dare I say it? Worried?
"What do you mean she's in trouble Hyde?" I ask my heart thumping loudly in my chest as fear grips me.
"I helped find your daughter, brought Ana to the place… Christian I'm not joking she's in fucking trouble!"
"Where are you?"
"Near Lake Washington." He replies as I head over to Luke who is still tracking Ana's car and cell phone. "Fuck Christian!" He snarls angrily.
"What's happening to my wife Hyde?" I ask hitting Luke on the shoulder to grasp his attention, I think the name Hyde was all that was needed though. Endless possibilities are running through my mind right now.
"I don't have fucking time to explain it Grey just get your fucking security here if you ever want to see your wife and daughter again. I'll do what I can till you get here just fucking hurry, the code for the gate is five one five." He hangs up.
I look at my phone in shock. Was that Jack Hyde saying he was going to help Ana? What the fuck?
"Sir?" Luke snaps me out of my thoughts.
"Everyone needs to get to my wife." I say my voice shaking.
"Yes Sir we're on it."
Jack
What the fuck am I doing? I can't stand here knowing what that sick fucker may do to Anastasia. She's never done anything to harm anyone and now she's probably going through one of the worst things imaginable. Fuck jail, fuck death, I can't stand here knowing what could be happening to her.
I hurry to my car and get my weapon from the glove compartment, I hoped I would never have to use this forty calibre glock but right now I'm thankful I bought it. I hurry up the steps into the house, hearing Ana's whimpers coming from the room nearest to the front door as well as hearing his grunts, sounds I'm all too familiar with.
Ana
Ten. He hit me ten times before he thrust his dirty penis inside of me, that hurt more than the beating, I wasn't wet for him and the burn that ripped through my insides caused by his penetration is indescribable. I keep my eyes scrunch closed as he grips my hips hard enough to bruise. I am going to be sick. I can't yell anymore. Instead I've slumped forward, laying on my chest, my behind still in the air giving him full access as I keep my thoughts on my children, tucking them into bed at night, reading to them, kissing them and holding them.
"Stop what you're doing Stephen." I cry when I look up to see Jack Hyde standing with a gun aimed at my attacker.
"You gonna shoot me Hyde?" Stephen asks, his voice laced with amusement.
"If I have too." Jack nods, Stephen is still inside of me and I can't help but vomit.
"Go on then, I dare ya Hyde, shoot me." Stephen says as he slips from me. I find the strength to push myself to a crawl and hurry over to my still sleeping daughter, pulling her from the couch and into my lap, the movement doesn't faze her but I feel her breathe against my naked chest and I know she's alive.
"Ana get out of here." Jack says his eyes not leaving Stephen's, I can't move, paralysed with fear and worry. "Now Ana!" Jack yells his eyes meeting mine.
Neither of us saw Stephen take advantage of Hyde dropping eye contact, it takes him two strides to grab hold of the gun arm and I watch in fear as the two men begin fighting for the weapon.
I cling tight to my daughter, sobbing as I pray for Jack to win this one. The gun goes off and I gasp and watch unable to tear my eyes away. Stephen yells and drops to the floor and Jack gives him a kick before hurrying over to me and Amaya.
"Christian is on the way." Jack says removing his jacket and wrapping it around my trembling body.
Jack
"I'm so sorry Ana." I whisper my own tears threatening to breakthrough. She flinches as I drape my jacket over her shoulders, I know she's just gone through something so traumatic.
"It wasn't you." She says, her voice tiny and uncertain.
"I should have known."
"You helped me." She says her voice breaking as the tears set in. "Thank you."
My own tears come free at those two words. How can she possibly thank me? If I'd come in with her in the first place maybe she wouldn't have been raped! I'm a selfish man, an animal, how the hell can she sit there and thank me?
I look over to Stephen who is rolling like crazy on the floor. I shot him in lower abdomen, probably hit his stomach and wasn't a through and through but there isn't too much blood so I'm not worried about him dying. Fuck he can die for all I care.
"Hyde?! Ana?!"
Christian
I run into the house and yell for my wife and Hyde. I hear some strange grumbling coming from the room just right of the door and I rush to hit praying that no harm has come to my wife. What I see breaks me. My wife is naked other than a jacket I can see to be Hyde's draped over her shoulders, she's holding tight to our sleeping daughter, our peaceful baby who has no idea what is going on around her... At least I pray that she is sleeping...
"Ana." I say quietly as I approach her, the team bursting in behind me.
"Sir…" Taylor stops me going any closer to my wife who is shaking and sobbing uncontrollably. Jack has her hand and although it kills me I know he's helping her, somehow I know he's not a threat to her and I'm not jealous.
"What the fuck happened here Taylor?" I ask desperate for some answers even though I know Taylor is as clueless as me.
"I don't know, police and ambulances are on the way." He says and I nod before taking a careful step towards my wife.
"Ana, Christian's here, I'm going to move to let him come beside you ok?" Jack's voice is soft, as if he's speaking to a child not a grown woman but right now I see my wife in a childlike manner, curled up in an upright foetus position, cradling our baby in her arms.
"Ana baby…" I say stepping towards her again before kneeling.
"Take it real slow, any sudden movements could set her mind off." Jack says quietly. I look at him, my mouth is open and my eyes show how horrified I am.
"What happened to my wife Hyde?"
"I was too late." He says his eyes brimming with tears. "I'm sorry Christian, I was too late."
"Ana?" I ask reaching my hand towards her but she flinches, my wife flinches from my touch and it breaks my heart. "Baby it's just me."
"Christian?" Her eyes finally meet mine but I don't see the beautiful sparkle in her sapphire orbs, instead I see nothing, her eyes are empty.
"Yeah it's me. Is Amaya ok?"
"He gave her sleeping pills, she's alive." At least that's one thing, my baby girl is alive.
"Can I take her?" I ask and Ana's grip on Amaya tightens. "Please baby I've missed her so much." I say my own tears surfacing.
Ana reluctantly loosens her grip and slowly begins to pass Amaya over to me. As Hyde told me to I don't make any sudden movements, letting Ana take the lead. Once Amaya is my arms Ana pulls Hyde's jacket tighter around her body.
"The ambulances are here Sir." Taylor says from the door way just seconds before EMT's rush into the room.
"Please my wife." I say and one woman hurries over. Ana cowers trying to hide inside the jacket but the EMT takes notice and begins approaching with less sudden movements.
"Hi sweetheart, my name is Jackie, what's your name?"
"Ana." Her voice so meek, so quiet, where's my strong independent wife?
"Hi Ana, ok I want to just check you over and then get you to the hospital, will you let me do that?" Jackie obviously knows what she's doing here, I'm glad about that because I have no fucking idea what to do.
Ana looks at her, almost as if she's reading her before she gives a timid nod. It breaks my heart to see this, what the fuck happened to my wife?
"Ok, can you tell me where hurts?" Jackie asks gently as she kneels beside me. Ana's eyes reach mine and then she looks at Jackie before shaking her head in the negative, what the hell? She can't say where hurts?
"Sir would you mind taking that little one to be checked over?" Jackie asks, I look at Ana but her eyes are now on the floor and she makes no move to look up at me. I know that she can say where hurts and my guess is the same as Jackie's, she doesn't want to say in front of me. Why? What the fuck happened that she can't say in front of me?
"Fine." I say quietly, I guess she knows what she's doing even if I don't like it, I don't want to leave Ana.
"Can you tell me now?" I hear Jackie ask as I hand Amaya over to another EMT, I know she's alive, that's enough for the moment though I need to know what happened to her she looks fine in comparison to my wife. .
"He beat me." I hear my wife say and I squeeze my eyes shut. "With his belt."
My fists clench and I see red. I storm to where the man is being treated and unleash my fury on him. Taylor and Luke come over to me and drag me away from the whimpering piece of shit on the floor.
"Enough! Enough Christian, calm the fuck down, Ana needs you calm down."
"Christian! Please Christian!" Ana's sobbing voice brings me back into the space I'm in. I look around and find her hysterical and I rush over to her.
"Ana, baby." I take her into my arms and though she struggles first my whispered reassurances is enough to calm her down.
"Mr Grey we need to get your wife to the hospital."
"Of course. Please can I carry her?" I ask scared to let her go.
"Of course." Jackie nods. I'm grateful right now I don't want to be apart from my wife or my daughter.
"Hyde."
"Yes Christian?"
"Follow us to the hospital, I think Ana may want to see you." I say my voice breaking and he gives me a small nod, how the fuck is this the same man that tried to kill my wife ten years ago? I need to know exactly what happened, then I'll decide if he needs to be fucking beaten black and blue but to my knowledge all he did was help my wife. I also want to talk to him, find out exactly how the fuck my wife came to be in this situation, how he's involved, I am going to interrogate the fucker before the police can and if I find out he's in any way to blame for my wife's condition I'll kill him.
"The police want a statement from you Mr Hyde." Taylor says as we head for the door.
"Tell them they can get one down at the hospital Taylor, I think my wife will want to see Mr Hyde." I snarl, I am not in the mood to even try my patience with Seattle PD.
"Yes Sir." Taylor nods but he eyes Jack suspiciously, I understand why, I'm suspicious too but Ana is who's important right now. I can only imagine what she's gone through.
"Taylor find out everything about this man." I say signalling to the man still being treated by EMT's. "and call the family."
"Yes Sir."
