Beatrice's POV:

I was with my daughter in the mall doing a little shopping and we were laughing at funny stories she was telling me then suddenly two men came to sieze her up and she was screaming for me but I stood there shaking my head trying to speak for them not to take her away but my voice failed me and then everything started fading away and I couldn't see her anymore and my tears couldn't be controlled as I broke down on my knees and yelled "Natasha!!!"

"Beatrice, Beatrice, wake up!" I heard a voice yelled faintly to my ear and tapping my body heavily and then I woke up with a heavy gasp panting heavily. I was sweating profusely.

"My love, are you okay?" My husband asked holding my hand. I couldn't speak, I was still in shock of my dream. "You were yelling for Natasha. Do you want to tell me what happened, was is it a nightmare?" He asked and then I looked around and saw that I was in our sitting room.

Everything flooded back to my memory, I had finally fall asleep after a long wait of my daughter returning from her outing with her friends. "Is my girl back?" I asked in a low voice as those were the first words that came out of my mouth.

"No my love, but don't worry she's fine wherever she is if not we'll find her in the morning", my husband replied confidently.

"She's not fine, she's in danger, I just had a nightmare and it was about her", I spoke a little bit aloud with my husky voice due to my non-stop crying before I fell asleep.

"C'mon honey, it was just a dream. Natasha is a grown up, she can take care of herself. Perhaps they went to a club after their beach outing and they couldn't make it back home on time. Or would you prefer them driving at night to come back home knowing is dangerous?" He reasoned but I wasn't buying it.

"You really don't get it, do you? My daughter has been missing for the past six hours now, no calls, no text and you expect me to sit here and not get bothered?", I asked in exasperated tone.

"Just take a good look at the time, is almost 4am and my daughter is out there without any message from her and you expect me as a mum to feel comfortable and not to be panicked! To make it all worst, I just had a nightmare that was about her, tell me the hell why I shouldn't be worried?!" I yelled dramatically and my husband got startled at my reaction.

"Calm down, okay? I know this is very hard not just for you but for me as her father, but we have to be strong and have faith that things haven't gone bad. Remember we also have our little one Ethan to worry about, we can't let him see us break down, let's just hope for the best. Everything will be okay I promise" he comforted and pulled me into a hug. He placed a kiss on my head and I sob softly on his chest.

Scott's POV :

I grimace in pain as I tried to stand up after watching him hit Natasha and was now holding her up on her neck about to strangle her. While her friends were standing at the door crying, this girls aren't smart enough, I expected them to run out not stand there like a porcelain doll and be crying, I have to do something.

I looked around for a weapon and my eyes landed on the rod on the floor I saw one of Natasha's friend holding when we got here earlier, quickly I picked it up and headed straight to him. I hit him on his back and immediately he let go of Natasha and she fell on the floor with a whimper while he turns around to see who had hit him, when he caught sight of me he gave a manly growl.

"You girls should run!" I yelled at them as I stepped back before he could get a hold of me or any of them. I saw Trish and Cathy run to Nat to help her up before the giant in front of me came up to me, I raised the rod to hit him but he held it and collected it from me glaring at me with blazing anger.

"Waoh, I'm done for" I cried inwardly knowing a young guy like me have no extra ordinary powers to protect myself.

I stepped backwards and he step forward, just a foot of his on the wooden floor shakes the house, I took a step backwards again and he stepped forward, in a second he has lifted me up with his left hand on my neck and I stared down at him with pleaded gaze. I looked around us but fortunately my new friends has made it out of here alive, a huge relief flooded me knowing I've made the sacrifice for them.

"You came into my house" he growled at me.

"And what are you going to do to me now since I invaded your house?" I dare asked.

"You'll find out soon, perhaps if you had come here on time you would have met him alive" he replied in a deep voice as he gave me a hard punch on my face while still holding me on my neck as I hang on the air.

"Who... is he?" I choked out.

"Someone who dare challenged me like you're doing. I just finished dealing with him in my little basement before coming to see another meal for the night".

"You're not going to have another meal tonight" a feminine voice intruded and immediately my head snaps up same with my attacker who turned around to see, "Trisha?" I mumbled her name in shock.

In a blink of an eye she has used the rod the giant had dropped earlier on to hit him on his legs. He groans in pain and let me off his hold, while one of his knee rested on the floor. She hit him once again on his face and he spat out blood.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I yelled at her as I got up from the floor.

"To save your f*****g ass, c'mon, let's get out of here" she responded.

"But this is so risky, you coming back to help me" I replied as I walked up to her.

"Stop being a dumbass and let's leave here this minute!" She snapped at me and I frowned at her. Not minding her rude attitude I took another step to rush out of there with her but I ended up landing face flat on the floor with a yelp.

"Scott!" She yelled my name and headed back for me. "You f*****g bastard, let him go!" She cussed at the giant man who was holding my legs.

She raised up the rod to hit him again but he outsmarted her and drag her with the rod and gave her a hard punch on her jaw and she gave a loud whimper. I stood up and attacked him but all my fighting skills were weak compared to his, he lifted me up and threw me on the floor with my back hitting hard on it. I hissed in pains while Trish reach out for another object to use on him.

"You'll pay for this asshole" hissed and stood up with a 'dagger?' I mumbled in shock wondering where she had gotten it from. She made her way to him.

"Trish be careful" I called out to her and just as she raised the knife to stab him, he held her hand and twisted it while she squeal in pain till she let go of the knife and it fell on the floor. He wrapped his arms around her neck wanting to strangle her.

I quickly made my way to get a hold of the knife but I got a good kick on my stomach by the giant as I got closer and fell again on the floor while he picked up the knife and ran it through her jaw. "Please don't hurt her, hurt me instead" I begged.

"Run away from here Scott!" She ordered.

Really? Is this girl crazy? Why would she tell me to leave when her life is at stake. "Stop it Trisha!" I warned, "please let her go" I begged the man again.

"I mean it Scott, one of us has to be alive here to help the others and you're the man here to help lead my friends out of this forest, so please go, go save them, they're waiting for you" she said.

"No, I won't allow you to die, instead you'll go lead them out of here while I sacrifice myself for you all" I pleaded.

"Both of you should just shut up! Enough of your stupid bargaining, you two have no right to decide who is meant to be alive, is my decision and I've decided to kill you both!" He scolded us.

"I don't think so, you good for nothing....." Trisha words hangs in the air and I stared up and wondered what was going on. I glanced at the giant holding her and then to her, my gaze fell on her stomach where her left hand was placed and I saw a knife and a drip of blood on the floor. I became alarmed, Trish has been stabbed.

"Trisha" I mumbled her name weakly and ran to her but I was pushed away by the heartless man that just stabbed my friend. He let go of her and stormed towards me with anger, as I tried to stand up on my feet he gave me a hard punch that landed me on the wall before falling on the ground.

I cried out in pains with my aching body and bruises. As he charged towards me with the rod on his hand I shut my eyes closed to expect the worst and then I heard screams, I snapped my eyes open to see what was going on.

"Trisha!" I exclaimed when I saw her standing behind the giant monster, now the monster was on his knees. I furrowed my brows confusedly on what was going on.

"Please... get out... of here, Scott... go save... my friends, tell them... I love them, leave now before he gets up" she choked out those heartbreaking words to me. It then dawned on me that Trish had stabbed him from behind with the same dagger he had used for her.

I stared down at the monster who was holding his stomach, my eyes grew bigger at the sight of blood gushing out from his stomach.

"Please" she begged and slumped to the floor.I ran to her and held her in my arms, I stared into her eyes with my teary eyes.

"Please don't go, stay, don't die just yet, you can make it alive out of here", I assured her. Her eyelids were shutting off, I tapped her cheek lightly to keep her awake and her eyes flutters open.

She raised her hand slowly and touched my cheek, "please... sa..ve...my... friends...in...a...tree" she mutters and I nodded.

"I will, but just stay alive for....." I was cut midsentence when she shut her eyes closed and her hands dropped from my cheek.

"Trisha, Trisha, please don't do this" I begged tapping her heavily to wake her up but she didn't bulge, "Trisha please wake up, just say something" I cried out embracing her to my chest as I weeped uncontrollably into her body.

Although I haven't known her for up to 24hours but I like her already and I've began seeing her as my friend, I can't let her die. "Trisha please wake up!" I yelled, but nothing, no sound, no stir of her body, just her unconscious body in my arms. My tears spilled out more as I held her body in my hands and wept so hard, then I heard a grunt.

I squint to see where the grunt came from, my anger grew as I saw that monster was still alive and was trying to get back up on his feet. I gently lay Trisha's body down and headed for the rod, I picked it up with a scowl and walked towards where the monster was lying down.

I hit him hard on his back and he lay back down on his stomach. I kept hitting him harder and harder to my satisfaction before I stopped. I bent low to his body, pulled out the small dagger from his body and he groaned in pain.

"This is for you, Trisha" I mumbled before stabbing him continuously until I heard his final breathe. I went back to Trisha's lifeless body and I embraced her, I sobbed to her body. She shouldn't have come back for me, they should have just gone without me. What am I going to tell her friends?
