AN: Ryan gets physical, and comes after Alex and David. R&R.

Chapter Eight: A Bullet For My Valentine

Alex was calmly sleeping next to David. She was never at more peace than she was laying next to him. She took a deep breath, and sighed. She saw that he was sitting up, and looking at her smiling.

"How are you feeling?" David asked.

"A lot better. Thanks for asking." Alex replied. David stretched, and walked towards his door.

"I'm going to get something from downstairs, okay?" David said turning back to Alex.

"Okay." Alex responded. "Hurry back." David smiled at her and walked downstairs.

As soon as David walked into the living room, he got that eerie feeling that something was very wrong. He couldn't put his finger on it though. He was about to get his answer really soon enough, though. As soon as he turned around, he felt the cold steel of a gun being pressed against his head. David soon heard Ryan's laugh echo through his own ears.

"I figured that I would find you here." Ryan said, sitting him in a kitchen chair. "Now, where's my beautiful niece?"

"Bite me." David said. Ryan took the butt of the gun and struck him across the face. David felt his cheek open up after that blow.

"Now, where is she? I want to talk to her." Ryan asked once more.

"Why? So you could beat her?" David shot back. Ryan smiled at him and began to tie his hands behind the char he was sitting in. David hands were tied up tight. He looked up, and saw Ryan with a sick smile on his face.

"I'll be right back, don't move." Ryan said. David watched helplessly as Ryan began to walk up his stairs, right towards the unsuspecting Alex.

Alex sat on David's bed, wondering what was taking him so long. She wondered what was wrong. She soon recieved her answer. The door opened, and there stood Ryan, holding a pistol.

"Get up." He commanded Alex to do. Alex did as she was told, slowly getting up from the bed. He grabbed her by the arm, and forced her down to the area where David was tied up, and threw her to the ground.

"Now that you two lovebirds are together again, it time for me to punish you David." Ryan said staring right into his eyes. Ryan then pinned Alex to the ground, and started to rip her clothes off. Alex was screaming for him to get off of her. David was thrashing around trying to get free so he could help her, but it was to no avail. David was stuck there, helplessly watching this scene take place.

Just when all hope was lost, a gun shot rang out. David looked towards his doorway, and saw Louis standing there, with his gun barrel pointing at Ryan. Ryan rolled off of Alex, and doubled over in pain.

"You guys all right?" Louis asked as he untied David.

"Yeah, are you alright Alex?" David asked her. Alex nodded, and gave him a hug as Louis cuffed Ryan.

"Alex." David said, trying to get her attention.

"He killed my family. I already know." Alex said. "I am just glad that this whole mess is over."

"Me too." David said, holding her. "Me too."
