Nami woke up and knew she was fucked. It didn't take long for her to realize that she was tied to a chair in a sitting position and gagged so she couldn't talk. Probably because Law knew if she could she'd rip him a new one. What the hell was his problem? Couldn't he just leave her alone? She winced when the lights came on, her eyes not ready for the sudden brightness. Law walked into her line of sight, smirking and crossing his arms over his chest. "Comfortable?" he asked. Nami screamed at him through the gag but of course it was just a bunch of muffled nonsense. He laughed and walked over to her, cupping her chin in his hand. "I suggest you behave. This is for your own good after all." Nami glared at him and muffled a distinguishable fuck you. Law glared, deciphering the words and back handed her, causing stars to dance across her vision. "You little bitch," he growled. "If you would have just given up to me, I wouldn't have fucked and dumped you like he did."
Nami looked away. She didn't want to hear this. She didn't want Law to be the one to remind her that she'd giving her virginity to someone who was with someone else twenty-four hours later. "Tonight I'm going to prove to you he doesn't care." He growled low into her ear before placing a kiss against her neck. Nami tried to move away from him but her bounds didn't allow for much.
He laughed and stood straight. "Killer, what time is it?" he asked looking over at the man standing in the corner.
"Eight o-clock on the dot," Killer replied, slipping his phone into his pocket.
Law smirked and pulled a long silver hunting knife out from a holster hidden behind his back. He looked down at Nami, his smirk going to a full blown grin when Nami's eyes went wide at the sight of it. "See this Nami? For every minute that Zoro is late, you're going to pay for it."
"One minute late," Killer announced from the side.
Law smirked and took the knife to the skin of Nami's leg. She hadn't even realized she'd been stripped of all but her bra and panties until this point. Slowly, Law drew the blade of the knife across her thigh, making sure it was slow, deep, and painful. Nami screamed behind the rag covering her mouth and clenched her fists together until her nails were digging into her palms. Tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down her face.
Law pulled back and looked at her, smirking as he licked the blood off one side of the blade. "This is his fault Nami, just remember that."
"Two minutes late." Nami closed her eyes tight as Law found a new spot to cut her.
Zoro pulled up and jumped out of the car. He was ten minutes late thanks to a pile up on the highway that had blocked the road up for nearly five miles. As he jogged up to the building Law's car was parked in front of he heard the muffled bone chilling scream coming from in the building. He knew Nami must have been gagged because the scream was distorted, but he knew Law had been serious about scars. He kicked down the door with his shitkicker and walked inside, the barrel of his Sig Sauer pointed directly at Law's chest.
He was standing behind Nami, a hunting knife stuck halfway through a pull across her collarbone. He smirked and looked up at Zoro. "Well it's about time you showed up." Zoro ignored Law and took in Nami's condition. There were ten deep cuts all over her body, seeping blood from them. Zoro knew that if he didn't get her help, and soon, she was likely to bleed out. He glared and leveled his eyes on Law. "Have something to say?" Law asked.
"Let her go," Zoro growled, his finger going to the trigger of his gun. From where Law was standing behind Nami he had a clear shot at the bastard's shoulder and without hesitating or waiting for him to respond to his order Zoro fired, clipping him dead in the shoulder.
Law swore as he stumbled back and before Zoro could retaliate and move to get Nami out of the hell he'd put her in, he felt a sharp searing pain in his calf. He hit his kneed and growled. He hadn't seen Killer off to the side, or the gun he was holding in his hand. Law stood, holding onto his shoulder and glared. "That's going to cost you." He grabbed the gun resting in the waistband of his jeans and put the barrel right up to Nami's thigh. Without hesitating he shot her.
Zoro's heart broke into a million pieces at the blood chilling scream that came through the gag around her mouth. Zoro forced himself to his feet and took a shot at Killer. He fired twice, hitting him in his hand and his knee, sending the gun flying and him to hit his feet, unable to stand now. Zoro then leveled the barrel of the gun on Law. "Get away from her," he growled.
Law laughed and aimed the gun at her head. "Not until we settle a few things." Zoro looked at Nami and his heart broke all over again. She was looking at him with pleading eyes red and puffy from the tears that stained her face. Zoro ripped his eyes away from her; he couldn't look at her if he wanted to save her. Instead he leveled his stare at Law. "Tell her."
"Tell her what?"
Law glared and cocked the gun. "Tell her that you don't love her. That you just wanted to fuck and dump her."
Zoro growled, trying to ignore the pain throbbing in his leg. "Just because that's what you wanted to do, doesn't mean that's what I wanted to do."
Law shot Nami in the shoulder. "Last. Warning." He put the gun back at her head. "Tell. Her." He growled.
Zoro growled. "Yes, that's all I wanted. I just wanted to fuck her." It killed him to say those words. It wasn't true. He looked at Nami and hoped she could tell that from his eyes. Prayed she understand he was just trying to keep her alive. But when he looked at her, he could tell she couldn't even hear him and he thanked god for that but cursed him at the same time because the only reason she couldn't hear him was because she was starting to lose consciousness. Damn it.
Law barked a laugh and backhanded Nami with the butt of the gun, succeeding in knocking her out completely. Zoro took his chance and fired his gun. The bullet clipped Law in the gut and he doubled over, falling to the floor. Zoro pulled out his phone and dialed 911. After giving them the information he went to Nami and pulled the rag off her mouth, and cut the roped holding her to the chair. He cradled her small lifeless body against his chest and willed her to open her eyes. Begged her to open those soft taupe eyes of hers.
He pressed his fingers against her pulse, hoping to feel something. There was a pulse, thank god, but it was feint. Blood seeped through his clothes but he didn't care. Where was the damn ambulance?
Finally the flashing lights filled through the windows of the building and the sirens filled the air. The paramedics ran in and took in the scene. Killer was still alive, hell Zoro didn't think there was even a chance of him bleeding out. Law on the other hand and two bullet wounds, that, if left unattended for, he would probably bleed out. Not that Zoro cared. Right now, Nami was his only concern. She had ten gaping cuts, two bullet wounds, and had been hit in the head with a gun. She was the paramedic's main priority. They rushed over to her, one radioing in for more assistance. They took her from his arms and Zoro almost didn't let her go, but he knew they would do everything they could to save her, and that was more than he could do at that moment.
An officer walked up to him, kneeling beside him the older man placed a hand on Zoro's shoulder. "They're going to take care of her son, don't worry." Zoro nodded but didn't look at the man. "I'm going to need a statement from you son."
Zoro rubbed his hair, unaware that he was getting Nami's blood in his short green locks. "Yeah, you wanna so that now?" he asked, watching the paramedics load Nami into the back of the ambulance.
"No, ride with her, I'll follow and get your statement there."
Zoro nodded and stood, jogging over to the ambulance the best he could on his leg and climbed inside. He didn't pay any attention to the man who was attaching an IV to Nami's arm. He took her hand and placed a kiss to her palm. "Come on baby, open your eyes for me." He begged, praying his voice reached her. He watched her face hopefully but nothing happened. "Is she going to be okay?" he asked without looking up from her pale face.
"She's lost a lot of blood." The paramedic sighed. "It's too soon to tell but we're going to do everything we can."
Zoro nodded and they pulled up to the hospital, he climbed out and got out of the way for the paramedics so they could get Nami out and followed them as they wheeled her inside. He followed them until the nurses and doctors took over and wheeled her into an operating room. A small blonde nurse put a hand on his chest. "Sir I'm sorry you can't go back there. Let us do our job, and you need to be taken care of. We'll let you know as soon as we're done."
Zoro growled as another nurse came up to lead him off to another room to get looked at. He sighed as the busty brunette plopped him down on a bed and told him to remove his pants. Had he been in the right state of mind he would have thought twice before he actually took his pants off, but the nurse was quite professional as she looked at the bullet wound in his leg. She grabbed a bottle of antiseptic and some bandages. Using tweezers she pulled the tiny bullet from his leg and poured the contents of the bottle onto his leg. He flinched but right now his concern for Nami drowned out all of his pain. She bandaged it up and looked up at him. "I know it'll be nearly impossible to get you to stay off your leg, so I'm going to give you a cane. It'll help alleviate some of the pain and pressure. Use it for at least three months." She pulled her rubber gloves off, letting them snap back. "The bullet didn't go deep enough or do enough damage to warrant physical therapy, but if you don't use the cane you'll need it later on." she leveled a stare on him that told him she wasn't joking.
"Alright," Zoro muttered.
She smiled and set the cane down beside him on the bed. "You can stay here and I'll come and get you when they're done working on your girlfriend."
Zoro watched her leave and the police officer walk in. "I'm going to need that statement from you know son," he said taking off his hat and pulling up the rolling chair the nurse had been occupying. Zoro nodded and sighed, running his hand through his hair again. "Tell me what happened from the beginning."
Zoro went into the lengthy explanation of what happened, starting from the moment he found her necklace and the note outside his door and ending when he called 911 for assistance. The cop took notes and jotted down Zoro's statement. "You're going to need one from her too aren't you?" he asked when he was done and the cop was getting ready to leave.
He sighed and nodded. "Eventually, but I'll let you see her first." He walked out leaving Zoro alone.
He sighed and looked around the small room. There was an eye chart plastered to the wall, a bunch of tools they would need to look someone over and other medical equipment. He sighed and lay back on the bed. All he could think about was Nami. Was she okay? How was he going to explain everything to her? How could he apologize for getting her into this mess? It was his fault that she ended up like this. God how had things ended up like this?
"Sir?" a male voice had him sitting up. "She's stable; you can see her when the officer is done talking to her."
Zoro thanked the doctor and grabbed his cane, heading down to Nami's room. He waited outside for the police officer to leave before he hobbled in with his cane. Nami looked up at him and her eyes widened at the sight of him. "Zoro, are you okay?" she asked trying to sit up in her bed, wincing when there was a sharp pain.
"You idiot. Lay down before you hurt yourself." He mumbled sitting beside her. "I'm fine. You're the one who needed a blood transplant." Once he was seated he looked at her. At least some of the color had returned to her face. "Nami, I'm so sorry all of this happened. This was my entire fault."
Nami shook her head. "No it wasn't. It was Law's fault, no one else's." She smiled and reached over, taking his hand. "Don't blame yourself, because I don't."
Zoro looked into her eyes and his heart broke all over again. There was no hate in her eyes, only love. He stood, cupped her face and kissed her. Vaguely he could hear the heart monitor she was hooked up to speed up a little as she moaned softly and kissed him back. He pulled back slowly and looked into her taupe eyes. "I never meant to fuck and dump you."
Nami smiled. "I know that now." She pulled him back down for another kiss and Zoro knew that he'd found the woman that he was meant to spend the rest of his life with.
