Saving Grace
Co-written with @ScarredDagger
Zsadist: [It has been weeks since Bella was kidnapped from her house. Six weeks of this torture, wondering why this happened. The last words I said to her weren’t my best. But then again when was I really at my best? Never. My brother was the good one. I am the damaged one. The one no one wanted their female around. Not that I could blame them. I’ve only gotten worse these past weeks. I care more about this female than I want to admit. And I don’t see any real possibilities of her still being alive, yet I keep holding on to hope.] Fuck! [I look down at the necklace for the millionth time this night. She was beauty personified and now that beauty is gone. I finally understand what why the rats with tails say hope is a dangerous thing. It can make a male, a fighter, into a pitiful shell hoping to catch a simple phrase to prove that he wasn’t stupid for refusing to let it go. Looking up at the sky, on the very porch the struggle began the night she was taken.] Bella I am going to bring you home one way or another. @Bella_Rempoon
Bella: *The darkness was cold and unforgiving as I made my way around the underground hole I was kept in. #David had just left after watching me shower. I shuddered and tried hard not to throw up again. I have never felt so violated in my life. Perhaps my brother was right. I should have stayed at the family home. Perhaps I wouldn't have been kidnapped, but if I hadn’t … I wouldn’t have had my cottage, I would have have lived next to Mary, I wouldn’t have met John Matthew, I would have had a chance to visit the Brotherhood Manse, I wouldn’t have met Zsadist … I thought about him a lot these last few weeks. The feelings that manifested since the day I walked into his bedroom have become a whirlwind of daydreams and self doubt. He made it clear he did not want me and yet …*
Zsadist: [I listen to my words echo in the silence around the house. I knew that her family didn’t want me here. But I was powerless to stay away. I needed to be near something, anything, of hers. Thoughts of our last meeting consumed me whenever I was in my room at the manse. I remembered the harsh words and the sickening feeling of the vomit coming up my throat. Looking to the sky, I take note that dawn was coming. I turned back and glanced back at her house once more before I willed myself to dematerialize and ghosted myself towards the manse. The moment I was on the property, I materialize and headed straight to V. I needed to check in to see if there has been any news of her. Even though hope was a dangerous and useless thing, I couldn’t and wouldn’t give up on finding her.]
Bella: *I felt a tug of the pulley system that #David has created to pull me from the tube to come up above ground. I squinted as I tried to adjust to the lights he provided to light up the shed I was held in. As I opened my eyes, I could smell the blood in the air … I turned to the right and saw on a stainless-steel table, a civilian male was brought into the shed, groggy and seemingly disoriented.*
Hello, wife. Look, I brought you blood. *When I looked into the eyes of the civilian, he was terrified. I looked away as I could feel the bloodlust stirring and my fangs descend. It had been too long. I tug my head away as #David tried to force me to drink. I resisted.*
Good girl, if you have done willingly I would have had to beat you. But you have to be thirsty … you have to feed in order to live, right?
*My mouth was dry and I could feel my saliva glands working but I couldn’t do it.* I’m so sorry. *I told the male. Instantly, I felt the lesser’s hand slap me across the face. I could feel blood from my lip as he tugged on my hair, arching my back.*
You don’t speak to him. You only worry about me. *There is was the arousal, he was ready to fight me. He mentioned his former lover, that she wasn’t strong enough and would pass out when they fought.* Tell me you love me. I love you.
“Holy fuck! I’m going to tell.” *I heard from behind me. #David let me go and ran after the other lesser outside. I quickly got up and released the clips from the civilian’s wrists and ankles. WHen he got up he tried to release me.*
There’s no time and only he has the keys. Focus and go home, tell my family. Now GO! *I watched as he took a moment and finally was able to dematerialized. I knew he would punish me severely for letting the male go. It was going to bad … really bad.*
Zsadist: [Walking into the room where V has all the techy shit at and see him click clicking away one of the monitors. Clearing my throat] “Anything?”
[V looks towards me and shakes his head.] “Nothing yet my man. [Just as he says this a button on the phone lights and a shrill sound filled the confined space then V’s voice answering it. I continued to stand in the doorway, waiting for him to get off the phone, only to see him turn towards me with a stunned look on his tattooed face. Immediately, I knew it was something about Bella. My Bella. I watch as he writes down something, what I had no fucking clue. After what seemed like years, he hangs up the phone and being to speak but all I could hear is her name Bella.]
“Z, she is alive. A civilian was captured and brought to a remote location and put into a tube in the ground. He was brought there to feed her. Something happened and he was able to escape and Bella told him to call us. He is going to show us where she is.”
“She’s alive?” [Rushing toward to main part of the manse mentally preparing what I needed. Guns and a shit ton of ammo. I nee…]
“Z, we can't go right now. The dawn is breaking and unless you want to be extra crispy and unable to save her, you aren’t, ya feel me?”
[Staring him in his eyes, I know he is right but, dammit, the thought that she had to spend another minute with those fuckers. My shoulders slump over as I continue to my room and begin to count down the hours til dusk.] “I’m coming to get you, Bella.”
Bella: *I felt groggy and dizzy as I came aware of my surroundings. I doubled over in pain as I felt an intense agony from my stomach but for some reason I couldn’t open my eyes. My face was throbbing on my face. I could feel the swelling of my eye, cheek and jaw … I could only imagine what my face looks like. I remember the rage of #David’s face when he realized the male was gone. First thing he did was hit me across the face with a right hook so hard, I was knocked unconscious and now just woke up from the pain. I felt the shallowness of my breath as I tried to breath through it but my chest felt heavy and when I pressed down I could feel the bruise as it radiated through my body. He must have kicked me while I was out.
I laid back down on the pipe to lessen the pressure of sitting up and breath as best I could through the discomfort. It felt like my brain was pulsating against my the head, the shooting pain like a migraine was irritating. I tried to open my eyes, but there was no use … I was going to die here, dearest Scribe. The last few thoughts was of my mahmen and Rehv and then the scarred face before I blacked out in sweet oblivion.*
Zsadist: [The moment the sound of the shutters rising I was out the damn door. I didn’t care who or what was following me. I was getting Bella out now. The sound of footsteps behind my back lets me know my brothers are with me.] “Will the male be there?” [I’ve probably asked V this fifty times but I had to do something. Ever since the call came in and V told me about it, I couldn't sit still. How could I? She has been kept alive and was probably tortured every damn day. How could this happen. V began to explain where we were meeting the civilian and they all dematerialized and willed themselves to the location. Once I fully materialized, I see the civilian, the last person to see her. I wanted to grill him but V took over and learned he had marked a path during his escape. Though I look down on those sissy ass civilians I had to give him credit he was bright and he ensured that I would get her. Following the path to the edge of some woods, we spot a building and watch seeing who or what was coming and going. Once we determined that the coast was as clear as it was going to get, we move in. We quickly make our way to the shelter. After searching the building finding what had to be the place the male had said he saw her. Finding nothing, I wanted nothing more than to scream and burn the place down, when I remember that there was something about pipes. I let my eyes scan over the ground. My eyes catch some irregularities along the woods closest to the buildings. Running to it, I see four tubes in the ground. Searching the first two and coming up with nothing, I begin to lose hope. Reaching the third one, I notice there is someone done there.] “I found someone!” [Looking at the lifting mechanism and begin to pull whoever it was up. The closer the body gets to the surface, I realise that it was Bella. In the distance I hear a voice call out that they found someone else but that person was nothing to me. Bella was all I could focus on. Pulling her up and into my arms. I carry her to the a car sitting on the property and lay her down softly, I was getting her out of here. And I was doing it now.]
Bella: *I became conscious as I felt a vibration beneath me. Is #David moving me is where else? Where now?! I had hoped that perhaps letting the male escape would somehow, however doubtful, bring me saviors to my relentless torment. It had to have been weeks since he kidnapped me. I remembered the other male captive who was in the tube next to mine saying he had attended my funeral. It was hopeless … no one was ever going to save me. I started to cry. I heard a deep male voice call out. It startled me into trying to find my bearings and realized I was laying on something I even … the vibration … it was from a car.*
Who's there? Who are you?
Zsadist:
[Trying to get Bella the hell out of here as fast as I can, It was miracle that this POS didn’t break down. We had passed the roadcheck with only the annoyance of having to mind wipe the officer. Now we were almost to the manse when Bella’s voice broke through the silence in the car. Her question made me angry that she even had to ask that.]
Bella it’s okay. You are okay. It’s Zsadist. You are safe.
Bella: *Zsadist. He had come for me … I started to cry with relief than I slid into blackness.*
