Attack

He woke up to find himself in a similar barn and his hands untied. He thought it was an incredibly foolish idea to leave his hands untied when he could easily escape and rescue the both of them. He would find a way out and save her. He went up to the doors and tried to find a way to open them. When he found them locked he tried to ram his body against the doors but they wouldn't budge. He looked around him to find something to ram them with but he found nothing. He growled but he wouldn't stop trying to open the doors and free them both. He'd die saving her.

Suddenly the door went up and Darrell came in looking worse for wear and slumping a little while his shoulder still bled. Aaron smiled a little knowing he'd been the one that had inflicted that wound onto him. He hoped he'd die of the wound and pay for what he'd done to all his victims.

He knew he could use the opportunity of the open barn door to escape but he wouldn't. He couldn't see any conceivable way he could get the both of them past him and he wouldn't leave without her. He had to protect her. He couldn't let anything more happen to her. She'd already suffered enough.

Seeing how they'd already formed a bond Darrell smiled a little smile though he felt woozier and woozier as time went on. He didn't believe he'd make it through this one but he'd still have his fun. Moving here hadn't been about hiding from the FBI it had been about protecting her and their child.

"Stab her," he sneered.

"No," Aaron growled.

"I said stab her," Darrell shouted throwing Aaron the knife.

"I said no," he growled back staring him in the eyes and not looking down at the knife.

"I said stab her," he repeated pressing a button on a remote control he had in his left hand sending an electric shock to Aaron's neck via an electric tag around his neck.

As Aaron went to grab the collar he repeated, "I said no." It stung and hurt like hell but he wouldn't give in. He wouldn't let him win. He wouldn't let her go through anything more. He'd rather he suffered than she did.

He growled, " I said stab her,"pressing the button again sending another electric shock to Aaron's throat. He looked up pulling at the collar but he would never give in; he'd never stab her.

"Do what you want to me but I won't do it! I won't let you put her through any more suffering," Aaron shouted weakly.

Darrell roared and picked up the knife. He rushed to Aaron who was still down from the electric shocks and struggling to catch his breath. He thrust the knife into his stomach and pulled it out. He repeatedly stabbed him in the stomach while the young woman screamed.

Suddenly the knife dropped and Darrell along with it making her scream even more. She ran over to Aaron and tried to encourage him to fight. He looked up at her and kept trying to fight and calm his breath.

"Is he...?" he asked weakly.

She nodded. "He's dead."

He smiled weakly, "I killed him."
