I withdrew myself from his body shakily, my eyes hazy as my surroundings blurred around me.“We’re going to have to delay our plans to take down Lazarus,” I croaked weakly. “I won’t be able to rest until my sister is found safe and sound.”“I understand, babe,” Damon soothed. “I’ll be here for you, don’t worry.”He pressed his lips to my forehead, doing his best to reassure me and make me feel better, even though my mind was spinning with millions of different possibilities that could have happened to Sophia, each one torturing me and etching itself inside of me like a form of motherfucking torment.“Hey Damon?”“Yes, baby?”“Please don’t go to work today,” I murmured timidly. “I really don’t want to be alone right now.”Damon drew out a deep breath. “I won’t, baby. Let me just text Lazarus to let him know I won’t be coming.”He took his phone out, and began texting Lazarus.Damon: Sorry bro, I can’t come to work today, something’s come up.Lazarus: What do you mean, something’s come

I broke into fresh sobs. I had no idea what to say to him, no idea what to reply. All I could do was cry.“Lazarus, will you help me?” I pleaded, trembling.“Yes, I’ll get my men out looking for her straight away,” he confirmed.There was a long silence between us as his eyes burned into mine. I could feel a lump in my throat, and I did my best to swallow it.“Hey Lazarus?” I mumbled.“Yes, baby?”“What about me being the insider to the rival gang?” I asked uneasily.“You don’t need to worry about that anymore. I’ll get somebody else to do it. You worry about your sister, and staying calm for our baby in your tummy. There’s no point stressing, babe. It’s not good for the pregnancy.”“L-Lazarus?” I stumbled, my chest heaving.“Yes?”“I’m sorry about the affair,” I wept. “I should have never left your side. I thought you didn’t love me, that’s why I did it…but now I can see how much you care about me. Thank you for helping me. At the end of the day, it’s you that’s here for me right now

“What’s a pretty face like yours doing in jail?” he asked.“Got accused of something I didn’t do,” I shot back flatly, not wanting to entertain his dead conversation.“Aw, that’s a shame.” He smirked. He looked me up and down with those beady eyes of his, with a predatory regard that made me uncomfortable about my spot. “Your muscles are bulging through that jumpsuit. What do you say, let’s go back to my cell and have some fun?”“Sorry, I don’t swing that way,” I cut him off, getting more pissed off by the second.“You dare say no to me?” he roared. “Who the hell do you think you are?”I cracked up, amused that the stupid bastard had the audacity to pipe up to the likes of me. He looked like he couldn’t hurt a fucking fly, let alone someone as well-built as me.“Oh yeah?” I jested. “What are you gonna do about it, you ugly prick? I’m so scared.” I laughed again. Hell, if the canteen had this many jokes, then maybe I should chat to the other bastards in here more often.The inmate bal

I nodded quickly, but I was getting paler and paler. I could hardly stay focused, because it felt like my surroundings were blurring around me.“Raven, can I talk to you alone for a minute?” I mumbled, scratching my arm uneasily.“Sure.” Raven shrugged. She turned to Lucy. “Lucy, are you okay to wait here for a few minutes?”“Of course, girl.” Lucy smiled. “You girls go ahead.”Raven smiled back at her, getting up from her seat, and we made our way to the public restroom, where we would have the privacy we needed to speak.“What’s wrong, babe?” Raven asked, a confused expression on her face.“Raven, you can’t marry Lazarus!” I cried out desperately.“And why the hell not?” she remarked, folding her arms sternly, already looking pissed off. “You’ve had a face on all day.”“Raven, it was Lazarus who kidnapped me!” I shouted.“Don’t be silly, baby, you don’t remember anything from the incident,” Raven soothed. “I know Lazarus used to hit me, but he’s nice to me now, babe. I promise.”“Ra

“Lazarus, you said you weren’t going to get mad!” I wept, pleading with him to calm down.“I said that so you’d tell me the motherfucking truth!” he roared. “I can’t believe you! I can’t believe you’d do this to me!”I screamed as Lazarus towered over me. There was only one way this could end. I knew that it was the end of the road for me…“Time and time again, I gave you so many fucking chances! I’ve had enough of you!” he bellowed. “This time you’ll pay for real!”“Please, don’t do anything stupid, Lazarus!” I wept. “You’re going to hurt our baby! You’re going to regret this!”“No, I fucking won’t,” he snarled, and threw me down to the ground, punching me repeatedly, relentlessly, as I coughed out blood and watched my surroundings spin around me.It was the end.It was the end of my story…56damonI lay in my bed, staring at the ceiling as the thought of Raven tortured me. My eyes welled with tears as I thought of her. I was bailed out of jail, but still, I had no idea where to go
