Chapter 16: Kidnapped.

*Liams POV*

Violet went to get the door until I heard screaming from outside. I ran downstairs and outside my house. Violet wasn't there. A white pick-up truck drove off. They kidnapped her. I ran and chased it. They speeded up until I couldn't catch up. But they seemed to have dropped a white envelope. I opened the envelope, and there in magazine cut-outs was: "If you want the girl, meet us with 100,000$. Midnight in the deserted house at the forest."

At that moment, anger, sadness and misery were expressed through the tears. I broke my promise. I couldn't protect her. Liam, it's not time for tears; get your ass an save your girl, I thought to myself. If Violet was here, she would hug me & told me things were going to be alright. Money didn't matter. All I wanted was my true and only love. I ran to the deserted house as fast as I could. I don't want her to get hurt. I couldn't, I wouldn't.

I cracked the door opened. "Hello?" I said firmly with anger. Then I pushed the door furiously.

"I've been waiting." a man figure appeared. He was all dressed in black and his face was masked.

"Where is she?"

"Where is who?" he said slyly.

"Violet. Where is she?"

"Give me the money, I give you the girl."

"Let me see her!" I shouted.

He hesitated but finally said, "Bring the girl."

A girl figure brought Violet out and pushed her on the ground. She fell to her knees. I saw her face clearly, but I went weak. Her left cheek bone had a deep scar and was bleeding. Her face was streamed with tears. Her forehead and her right cheek had bruises. Her mouth was taped and her hands were tied back behind her back. I looked at her face and her eyes said it all. "Help me Liam." they seem to say. I ran to her and fell on my knees and held her in my arms. The man held the gun to my head. "NO!" Violet screamed under the tape.

"Take this check! Now give me the girl!" I screamed. I untied the rope behind her hands. It left a greenish bruise because it was tight. I took the tape off her mouth and held her close to me hugging her. I ran my hands through her soft hair as she cried in my chest. The blood from her face left a stain in my hoodie. The man interrupted, "Wait right there. I asked for a million bucks! This is a hundred thousand."

"A million dollars? Are you f*cking crazy man?" I said. But he was drop dead serious. He pulled the trigger and aimed it towards me. I closed my eyes knowing that I'm going to die. But it's for Violet. I heard the gunshot. But wait, I'm still alive. I opened my eyes to find out that Violet had jumped in front of the bullet.
