I kicked over the unconscious body in front of me and grabbed the gun from his limp hand. Sounds of gunshots echoed throughout the house, and I limped through the hallway, hoping to get as far away as I could. Before I could react, a hand was placed over my mouth, silencing the scream that came out a fraction of a second too late. I struggled violently in the arms of my captor, fighting desperately to break free. The gun fell from my hands, forcing me to use all of my strength against the man.

He was now standing at the side of the bed, pacing back and forth while shaking his head every now and then.

I flinched when his head snapped up, his eyes blazing with unleashed fury. I felt fear wash over me as he hands clenched in rage.

he snarled, pressing down extremely hard. A shaky cry left me as the knife broke through a thin layer of skin. A think line of blood was surely on my neck now, physical evidence of the damage the knife had done.

> I cried out, not caring about how weak and pathetic I sounded.

Eric snarled, and held back the knife, as if he were about to stab me. Instead, he sent me a nasty glare before he placed the knife into the waistband of his jeans, and pulled out a key.
