A/N: I know this is an unexpected turn. Hope it isn't too graphic. This is sensitive material, so please be aware before you read. Unfortunately, many people have gone through this. I hope no one finds this insenstitive.

Soon as Donna saw him, she ran over to the balcony. She had to find a way out; she recognized the look in his eyes, it was the same look he had 19 years before, and couldn't go through that again. She opened her mouth and screamed Sam's name, no one could hear because of the music, and Carl threw her against the bed and she hit her head on the nightstand, causing her head to bleed. She tried to push him off but he was too heavy. He tore her shirt from her body, and she fought with everything she had.

Sam sprinted towards the stairs.

"SAM!" Rosie and Tanya yelled at him.

He didn't stop; he kept running. "Call the police, because I am going to kill that son-of-a-bitch!"

Sam ran up the stairs as Carl forced his tongue to Donna's mouth. Donna slapped him hard, giving him pause and yelled Sam's name.

"SAM! SAM, HELP! SAM!"

Sam heard this as he got to their room, but the door was locked and he didn't have his keys.

"DONNA, I'M HERE, HOLD ON BABY!"

Carl didn't stop his attack on her. She was able to knee him hard in the groin and ran to the door just as Sam had kicked it open. Donna burst into tears as she jumped into his arms. He held her as tight as he could. Until he saw Carl come towards them.

"GO, and wait downstairs with the girls." He said pushing her behind him in an effort to protect.

"NO, not unless you come with me." Dona was terrified he would kill Carl. Not because she feared for Carl's life, but for her husband's.

"DONNA, GO, PLEASE!"

When Donna turned to look outside when she heard sirens, Sam lunged at Carl and knocked him to the ground. He had him by the throat and was sitting on him.

He punched him in the face.

"You sick son-of-a-bitch. You knew she was my wife, and you came after her. Was it not enough that you raped her once."

"I was coming to reclaim what was mine." Carl said with a steely glare.

Sam got up and kicked him in the stomach.

"She was never yours. You violated her once, and tried to do it again!"

He kicked his ribs repeatedly.

"Do you like to hurt people you are bigger than?"

Sam had such fury in his eyes.

Donna ran to him and pulled him around.

"Sam, stop, you are going to kill him!"

"I don't give a shit, after what he did to you, he deserves much worse."

"I don't care about him, I can't lose you to jail. Please, I heard the police, let them take care of it."

Sam looked back at Carl and then looked at his wife, all he wanted to do was hold her, and he knew he couldn't do that if he was in jail.

He pulled her into his arms tightly. The only way Donna knew how to respond was by holding tightly onto his shirt and cry.

At this moment the police came in.

"Get him out of here!" Sam yelled.

"Sir, we need a statement." The officer said.

"Not, now. We will be down in a little bit. I want him OFF my property!" Sam said.

The officers cuffed Carl and took him away. As they were leading him out of the bedroom, Carl looked at Donna and said "You know you wanted it."

Sam held her tighter in his arms as the police escorted him out.

"I love you." Sam whispered into her ear, which only made Donna cry harder. She wasn't sure if she could stop.

"Shhhh, you're safe, baby, you're safe. He is never going to come near you again. I am so sorry. I am so sorry I brought him here. I should have followed you up the stairs when you were obviously upset when you saw him."

Donna looked up into his eyes and cupped his face in her hands.

"Samuel Carmichael, you saved my life. You saved OUR life. You had no idea what he would do. You are NOT to blame. I guess you know?"

"That he raped you before? Yeah."

Sam said pulling her back to him.

"I guess we need to talk about that." She said against his chest.

"Not now. I am getting you to the hospital." He said as he gave her a shirt to put on.

"Honey, no, I'm fine."

"This is NOT debatable."

"I don't want to see anyone. Please."

"Okay."

Sam got out his cell phone and called Rosie.

"Rose, yeah, she's fine. They arrested him. Listen, I am taking Donna to the hospital. We are going out the back way. Tell everyone she is fine, and tell the police if they MUST have a statement then to come to the hospital. Yeah, I'll call you. Thanks."

Sam closed the phone and looked up at her.

"Okay?"

"Okay."

Sam took her hand and began to lead her out of the bedroom but turned around quickly.

"I love you, more than you will ever know." Sam said staring deeply into her tear filled eyes with his own.

"I love you, you are my life." She managed to choke out.

Sam held her tightly against him.

"It will be okay, I promise. Let's go."

So, Sam and Donna walked out of their hotel wanting to put the nightmare behind them. Donna knew she had to relive another nightmare in a couple days, she could no longer keep her darkest secret from Sam.
