Avenging Angel

Chapter 27

Lucy had just managed to close her eyes when she heard a soft moan. Angela had started to flail about and was obviously having a nightmare. Lucy wrapped her arms around her and started softly whispering soothing noises to her. Angela jumped and sat up. She was sweating profusely and was having a panic attack. Lucy put her hands gently on her and helped ground the woman.

"Ang it's ok. I'm here."

"It's good. I'm good."

"Just breathe slowly."

Lucy started to rub her hand down Angela's shoulder and to her hand. She kept repeating the motion. Angela's breath started to even out.

"I'm sorry.", Angela whispered barely above a breath.

"You have nothing to be sorry for."

"How did you know how to stop it?"

"They taught me several grounding techniques after… well Caleb."

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to…", she didn't get to finish her thought.

"Ang stop apologizing. You haven't done anything wrong."

"I dragged you into this mess. You are only here because you were with me. Just promise me you won't fight him. No matter what he does.",her voice cracked.

Lucy had never seen Angela like this. So fragile. Angela was so tough and strong that she never thought about her being hurt. She had to help get Angela out of here. She couldn't stand seeing her like this and needed to make sure she got help. Angela needed medical attention. Her bruises were dark and ugly. She knew how bad they had to hurt. She hadn't seen Angela physically get up since the last attack. She just saw her scoot down to the floor and lean over on her.

"Don't you dare say that ever again. This is not your fault. You did nothing. Elijah is a sick bastard and he will get what is coming to him. We are going to get through this together. And I can't make a promise that I have no intention of keeping."

Angela didn't respond; she just sat up and laid back against the wall. She hadn't meant to sit on Lucy's lap but she physically couldn't hold herself up any longer. She hurt all over. She laid her head back thinking. She wanted nothing more than to have them both out of here in the arms of their men.

She had just closed her eyes when the door opened. Lucy sat up and started to position herself between Angela and the door.

"Please don't fight him."

"I can't do that."

"For me." she said desperately.

She didn't get the chance to respond. Elijah entered the room. He looked pissed. Lucy still had herself, fully in front of Angela. Elijah came towards them slowly, menacingly. He knelt down and tried to rub his hand down Angela's cheek. Lucy immediately smacked his arm away. He just smiled. Then Lucy got another blow to the face. Angela shot up.

"Don't touch her!", Angela yelled.

"What did I tell you Angel? Now Officer Chen gets to play."

Angela stood up quickly, unsure of how she gathered the strength. Elijah stood as well. He punched her in the stomach again and she crumpled to the ground. Lucy tried to rush at him and he threw her down. He grabbed Angela by the back of the head and drug her to the table. He wrapped her wrist with the bindings at the end of the table and shoved her knees to the ground. When Lucy got herself up and on her feet, she started to hit him again. He was starting to get really fed up with this. As she swung her arm again, he grabbed her wrist and shoved it behind her back. Then he quickly got the other one and handcuffed her. He pushed her to her knees next to Angela as well.

"Now now Babydoll. I know you got tired of waiting your turn."

"Leave her alone."Angela nearly begged.

"It's not your turn Angel."

Lucy could not push off her knees no matter how hard she tried. He kept pushing her shoulders down. Then suddenly he dropped his pants and before she could say another word shoved himself into her mouth. The force knocked her back but he grabbed the back of her neck and pushed her head to take all of him. She couldn't breathe. He kept choking her. He noticed Angela starting to struggle. He kept shoving her head back and forth forcing her to take his whole length. She kept choking and coughing. She was gagging and spitting trying to force oxygen into her lungs. He took his other hand and laid it on Angela's cheek. He pushed, forcing her face into the table. Elijah started rocking his hips while continuing to shove himself into her throat. Then he finally finished successfully choking her. He kept himself shoved to the hilt until he finished, forcing her to swallow before he let go. She immediately started coughing and furiously wiping her mouth. Then he grabbed her wrists and put her on the other side of the table. He went back to his "murder" bag and grabbed a new toy. He pulled out a bullwhip. Before anything could be said he was behind Angela and getting ready to swing.

"I'll do anything you want. Don't hurt her anymore.", Lucy yelled.

"Sorry babydoll you're not the one I want to play with."

"When our team gets here they will end you."

"Your team is definitely on the way. But I will be long gone before they get here. They will find you but in what condition?"

He went and grabbed the gag again and shoved it in her mouth. Then he proceeded to walk back behind Angela. She knew what was coming and was trying to mentally prepare herself. She felt the first blow and there was nothing but searing pain. He wasn't pulling his punches. He was taking out all his rage on her. He kept swinging, enjoying seeing the angry red lines appear. She refused to make a sound and he was determined to get her to break. So he continued to whip. The bullwhip tore the skin open and blood spilled down her back. Angela kept biting her tongue but she wasn't sure how much more her body could physically take. She was going to pass out. She knew that he would grow bored if she did and turn to Chen. She tried as hard as she could but her back was bleeding severely from the cuts to her skin. He took the bullwhip in both hands admiring the blood on the end. He walked over to Lucy and ran the whip under her nose for her to see. He got in her face and licked the blood along the whip. Lucy turned pale. She thought she was going to be sick. She'd never felt this much evil at one time. However, Elijah stopped taunting her. At some point he received a text message and moved to read it. As he walked away from her, she let out a breath that she didn't know she had been holding.

Angela had taken notice that one of her wrist was no longer secure and used the distraction to act. She released one of her wrists and started to undo the other. She was feeling faint and knew she had to act quickly. When Elijah made his way back to her she had already initiated a plan. She waited until he moved towards Chen again. He grabbed her again and pulled her legs up ready to assault her right beside Angela. She had started fighting and Angela could see the fear in her eyes. Before he could push himself into her, Angela took the syringe and stabbed him in the balls and pushed the plunger down. Elijah fell over and slowly passed out. Angela untied Lucy and tried to help her up.

"Hurry, I don't think I can stay up much longer. We have to scan his eye at the door. Then you need to run. I won't make it. Find Tim and Wesley."

"I am not leaving you. Come on."

"We gotta get to the door…..scan…him", her head was starting to spin and the edges of her vision were darkening.

They drug him over to the door while in excruciating pain. They got him up and close enough to the scanner but his eyes were closed. Angela started slamming his head into the scanner repeatedly and then lifted his eyelid. When the door unlocked accepting the scanner, they dropped him to the ground. As soon as the door unlocked Lucy started running. She didn't make it far before she crashed straight into someone coming towards her with a flashlight. She threw her arms up to hit whoever was coming at her. She hit them square in the chest but they didn't falter.
