Chapter Three

Hazel Pov

How will I escape this horrifying catastrophe?.

Intense fear quickens through my veins, blood pressure starts to increase when the creepiest black wolf green eyes in the world skim over me.

"Wanna play a game beautiful?"

I could hear my breathing loud and ragged in my ears.

What will I do now?

I am trapped between these scoundrels. How will I be able to escape?.

I have never been scared to death like I am now ever before. It was like this was my life or death examination, which means a win to escape or fail to be imprisoned by them.

I had no choice but to make the first move to pick up a run which comes to be a failure for me when Lucas makes the fastest move and fits me into his arms turning me around before I could make my escape.

"Leave me alone," I scream the bag in my hand dropping to the floor. "Let me go!" I try hard to get away from his hard grip on me.

His arms were stronger like iron rods. Smirking he whispered, his hot breath touching my ears.

"Don't try to move " he had a bad breath like something sour and rotten.

"Leave her alone!"

I glance up to see the cashier shouting at Lucas then he turns to warn the other two.

"I'll call the cops now!"

BOOM

There was a loud commotion before I could even realize or my mind could register, what had happened. I blink rapidly, noticing the cashier suddenly fall dead on the floor without uttering another word. The unexpected event makes me speechless and I stand frozen momentarily on the spot. My skin tingles with discomfort and my stomach crunches when my eyes fall on the pistol Lucas was holding and mostly returning it to where it came from.

Tears started welling up in my eyes at the bad news and my fear extended to the core. I felt clumsy.

"That old freak was way too much," Sherman says, "Better for him that now he is gone for good!".

Lucas laughs boisterously sending chills down my spine.

" Lucas," Ruthfur strides forward wiping his bloody mouth that was injured presumably

after I had pushed him hard into the shelf.

Lucas gives an ugly snort at him. "Tried to get the girl all by yourself without me, didn't you?" he demands with a turmoil in his tone. "Are you trying to show off good now?".

" And you," he eyed Sherman. "Didn't try to stop him by any chance, did you?".

Sherman's eyes bulge with jaws dropped. " I - Uh - I," he stammered disclosing for words when he was caught up with the tremendous appropriation.

"Whatever let me deal with this now!" Lucas spits at the other two.

"But, boss, I tried to stop - uh - him," Sherman declares fearfully.

"Shut up!" Lucas spat."You unworthy coward!".

"He, - He didn't listen to me at all boss" Sherman proceeds to end his confession when Ruthfur turns to give him a fiercely threatening stare.

Lucas casts a disgusting glimpse upon them and switches his mentality over to me with a smirk that creeps me.

"So gorgeous you are here alone?" He asks losing his grip on me and I shove him behind taking a step backward.

"You understand, leave me alone!" I warn tears fogging my eyes.

I was shocked, terrified, and dreadful. I felt light-headed with a heavy sluggish heartbeat.

"Hehehe," Lucas chuckled. "Let's go have some fun".

He pulled me closer.

" Stay away from me!"I scream.

Ruthfur and Sherman approach forward.

I take a step back pushing away Lucas's reaching hands. I peek behind me seeing the other two approaching nearer to me. My heart beats faster as if they were about to jump out of my chest at any moment. I hesitate to swallow harder.

"Hump!, I have to revenge on this bitch for cracking open my lips" Ruthfur stomped forward touching the bruise on his lips with hard cold eyes and a reddening face.

Pulse speeding up, my body tensed and panic ceased over the edge. Recklessly without a second thought, I attempt a run.

Oh God helps me reach out of this!.

I was so close to the door when Lucas acts rapidly when the other two were fast ahead, while he clenched me by my arms and swiveled me around to face him.

"Woah, where do you think you are running?" He says with enthusiasm in his tone.

"You can't leave until we are satisfied!" I hear Ruthfur protest.

"Chill out bitch," Sherman comes in. "We will let you go once we are done!".

Lucas sneers with a beam. " Are you ready to taste the pleasure?".

Adrenaline shoot through my system, heart palpitated with a tingle in my chest. My body temperature increases with an overwhelming sensation of dread. I felt as if I would go crazy. What was happening around me? I could not believe it.

My skin flushed and my muscles tightened.

"Help!" I yelled taking my voice up to the verge. "Help, Someone HELP!".

" HELP!"I scream even louder when the clasp Lucas gave me was brutal.

Skin bunching around his eyes with a pained stare, Lucas warns his muscles jumping under his skin."Stop shouting! or else," he moves his one hand to somewhere around his pants while his other holds me harder. He brings out his pistol and points it toward me. "I will shoot you dead like a pig!".

" Saw that old hag, didn't you?" he inquires with tightness in his expression his eye fixed on me and his pistol pointing out to the lifeless body of the cashier on the floor. " Same thing happens if another word escapes from that speaker!"

He points to my mouth before he degrees it toward my forehead.

Horrified I stare at him with wide eyes.

"Sherman, get out and see whether the street is empty without any loitering night owls," he points towards the outside with his pistol, furthermore without a word Sherman nods and complies with his command, disappearing out through the exit from the supermarket.

"And, Ruthfur," he commands. "Help me get her out of here!".

Ruthfur rushes forward kicking the lifeless body aside on the floor. " This old hag is too heavy" I hear him mutter under his breath.

"What do we do to him?" He asks once he is closer to Lucas.

"We take her to the abandoned cottage nearby," he describes. "Tie her up there and come back to get him!".

Ruthfur nods and I feel dizzy and lost.

" Meanwhile, Sherman will watch out for us," he continues. "Anyways, this street is always deserted except for us".

Ruthfur nods with a scowl.

"There's no one out there as usual"Sherman enters in with a grimace.

Lucas pulls me into his arms furthermore, I strive harder but fail to subside into his powerful body. He was huge with a large heavy body and strong muscles.

He covers my mouth with one hand and forces me to follow his lead. I walk with him while Ruthfur and Sherman come after.

A cold wind strikes my face as it whiffs past us. The moon was high but blurred within the grey clouds. I could hear a dog howling far away.

" Come on, "Lucas orders. "Let's get going!".

I muffle inside his palm, trying to cry out for help.

" Bitch!" he forces me and pushes me forward. Even though my knees were locked I was forced to act accordingly to his command.

My visions were filled with my mother's memories and dad's love. Each second reminded me of the happy days I had before I came in here. I made a mistake, I shouldn't have come.

I remember the days me, Matthew and Bailey had. Our laughter and last-minute trips. Our crazy stuff. Everything right now made me into tears. I wanted to cry. Cry harder even try another chance to escape which I did not know whether I will win or fail.

While my mind runs in a race with thoughts I eventually decide to do something that would determine my fate.

"Aarrrrrrrgh!" Lucas shouts when I bite his palms so hard that I would have bit his flesh out of his hand.

When he removes his hand with pain and his grip on me loosens I get the chance to an escape. I push him and before Ruthfur or Sherman could act I run.

All around the street was blind in the dark except for the blurred white light which came from the moon onto the street road.

"Bitch!" I hear Lucas yell.

And then, all that I believed I heard was a deafening commotion.

BAAM!.
