We drove for what felt like an hour, all the while, the man was humming to himself as he pulled out a bottle of beer and popped open the lid. He held it out to me but I shook my head furiously, afraid that my reply might blend in with the natural shaking of my body.He shrugged casually and took a large swig of the bottle, eyes crinkling with sadistic thoughts as he stared at me while taking a much longer sip from the bottle. It didn't seem to make him tipsy or react in anyway, he just continued to hum, enjoying the drink."How much longer till we get there son?"He spoke up and Edward finally looked into the rear view mirror, purposefully avoiding my gaze as he made eye contact with his father."Two hours." Edward replied.With his short reply, he returned his attention to the road, completely ignoring the fact that I had tried to make eye contact with him. The moment I started thinking that he might actually feel guilty, he threw me a smirk in the mirror. Not his usual smirk but one that

After I had washed my hands, Sally led me to a room where I was greeted by the Ex Donna. She seemed fine, besides the redness of her eyes which showed that she had clearly been crying. At the sight of me, she pulled herself off the bed and ran over to me. We hugged for so long that my legs went numb from being in the same position.Sally had left the room while we were in the midst of our embrace and returned with a tray filled with food. She interrupted our synced cry-athon and had us sit down to eat. My hands shook as I lifted the spoon to my mouth, unable to part my lips without tempting my eyes to water.I left the spoon in the plate and looked to Donna to see her suffering through the same thing. She passed me a wobbly smile, munching on it for my sake while I failed to develop an appetite after everything that was happening around us."He's going to be fine dear, you should eat. He wouldn't want you to go without food."Donna spoke softly, leaving the spoon in her plate as she caugh

Julian had rushed out despite me trying to hold him back, instead he had just kissed me, wiped away my tears and pressed his forehead against mine before promising that everything was going to be perfectly fine.Edward had rushed Donna and Sally into the room soon after, handing me my gun and the bullets before nodding at the three of us and closing the door behind himself.We sat in silence, jolting as a scream or gunshot rang too close to the room. We could hear sounds from outside the window and the door. The window was covered by a thick curtain to keep anyone from even getting a glance at the inside while the light was closed so no one would become suspicious of the room.It was still cold as we sat in frozen fear, hearts thumping wildly in our chests as shadows passed from beneath the door. Edward hadn't locked it because if it was locked, the enemy would undoubtedly figure out why and we would be in even greater danger than what we were in now.When the door to a nearby room slamm

The sounds of gunshots increased as Edward kept us behind the doors. His men gathered around us, ready to dive into danger if need be."I've barricaded the basement door."A new figure appearing from one of the guarded gateways, unannounced. But since none of the men surrounding us raised their guns to him, we knew he wasn't a threat for us."How long do you think it can hold them back?"The man shrugged at one of his companions query."I'm not sure, its a metal door though so I think we can rest easy for a while." he answered.I turned to Edward and found him glaring outside the window. His eyebrows were furrowed as he frowned at all the people outside."What are they doing?!"His sudden shout drew all our attention to him as he reloaded his gun."Change of plans, get to the closest safe room you can find and hide. Things aren't looking too good out there."I gulped at his words, trying to peer out of the window but he blocked my line of sight."Julian is out there." I said."I'm well aware of

A month later:"So how was it?" I asked.Me and Donna were seated at the couch, watching a new k-drama and fawning over the beautiful people together, while my husband, brother-in-law, father and mother went to interrogate their captive. From what Julian had clarified for me, the man was his fathers right hand, someone his father had entrusted a lot to.There was some tension between Julian and Edward, it had confused me at the beginning but then I had learned that it was because that man had been the father figure in their life. Someone who had, in a sense taken up the role of leading male for them."What do you all want to eat?" I asked.We couldn't order anything since the location of the safe house had to be kept secret and that was depressing. There was a bit of complaining at the beginning but then we just settled for cooking for the employed people of our little group.I smiled at them as my father and Julian talked about something which seemed too intense for me to keep up with and
