"You go walk him out, and immediately come back, understood?", Steven's fingers harshly grabbed Olivia's chin, as the girl fearfully nodded.

"If he comes back with a scratch, believe me Olivia, what happened last night may happen again, but might last longer.", she shivered at the thought of him hitting her and leaving her the whole night in the cold basement.

"Understood?", the man raised his voice as his blue eyes penetrated her frightened ones.
Olivia nodded once again and the man snickered, shaking his head.
"You never learn, angel, don't you? I need words."
"Y-Yes, S-Steven.", she looked down and Steven pushed her away.

"Go before I punish you for stuttering like a fucking idiot.", Steven disappeared in his bedroom; they didn't share a room because the man thought that she occupied the whole bed. Olivia called for the dog, that started growling at her the moment his eyes were on hers.

The dog, surprisingly, didn't fight against her putting the leash on his collar.
They walked out of the abusive house, with Olivia knowing that her boyfriend would drink all the alcohol bottles he hid in the storage room - and probably pass out.

Olivia's light sweater covered her naked arms as the chilly wind blew away her hair from her pale face.
Her fingers tightly held the black leash, the dog way stronger as his movements made her lightly stumble.

The few minutes she was supposed to spend outside, turned into a longer amount of time.
She was happy to be spending some time outside in the fresh air, without having to contaminate her lungs with smoke and the nasty smell of alcohol.

She peacefully thought about how she wouldn't have to worry if she took longer than she should, because the girl knew that Steven - even now - would be passed out.
Thoughts clouded her mind as new, flowery air entered her lungs, until Roger started barking loudly at another unknown dog.

"Roger.", Olivia hissed, the dog turned around and glared at her.
The dog started pulling, until the leash escaped her grip and Roger started running behind the other dog.

"Oh no.", Olivia muttered and suddendly her gaze met the other dog's owner. Harry.
"Olivia.", he lightly smiled, but Olivia ran behind the two dogs.

"Slow down! Olivia, wait!", Harry started running behind her, already very close to her.
Her breathing started turning unsteady and Roger started getting lost from her eyes.
Tears formed in her eyes, as the stress, the pain and the fear formed in her chest.

Suddendly, a strong body pulled her down, her back met the grass as the loud honk from a truck was heard.
"Get off-Please.", she added as reality hit her.
"You were about to get killed.", his voice was raspy, yet full with concern.

"R-Roger.", the woman tried to weakly push him off as the words came out as a pathetic stutter.
"Olivia.", Harry pronounced her name sternly.
"Calm down. My dog is also somewhere right now, but he'll come back.", Harry helped her up.

"You don't understand.", she refused his warm hand and instantly started looking everywhere for the dog.
"Are you okay?", Harry asked her.
"I n-need to find him.", she started walking away, but Harry took her hand and stopped each movement she was about to make.

"Hey, Olivia.", tears formed in her eyes once again and they started falling.
It reminded Harry of the day at the restaurant.
Back then, she cried of sadness, now it was fear.

"I have to-", her sobs didn't allow her to continue and Harry's heart broke.
"I'd like to hug you. Is it appropriate?", Olivia shook her head.

Harry knew that if a woman said no, that he should respect her answer, but there was something that told him to forget his beliefs.
So he hugged her. He wrapped his arms around her shaking body, and let her head rest against his chest.

The first few seconds, Olivia's hands were on his chest, trying to lose all of that connection. Knowing that she couldn't push him off, he let his warmth enter her own body.

"He's going to kill me...", she muttered against his body.
Harry could feel that the words weren't said just to be said.

"He won't touch you. I won't let him.", Harry reassured her.
"You don't understand. Roger means everything to him. If I lose him, I may as well kill myself right now.", she pushed the warmth away and Harry's brows furrowed.
"You're his girlfriend...", the man said slowly, and Olivia nodded lightly as her eyes searched for the Bull Terrier.

"Why would somebody want to... to harm their other half?"
"Because he can.", she spit. "S-Sorry.", Harry shook his head.

A Golden Retriever was seen coming and behind him: Roger.
"Finally.", Olivia muttered and ran towards him.
"I-I'm so sorry.", she tried to hug him, the dog growled at her and barked.
The woman took a step back, making sure that the leash was in her grip.

Harry approached his dog and caressed his golden head.
"Good boy.", he smiled and the dog barked happily.
The man's gaze shifted on hers.

"We have to go. Thank you, Harry.", Olivia said hesitantly, waved shortly and left with her dog.

"Olivia.", the way he pronounced her name made her stop walking.
"Don't let him do anything. Please.", she didn't need to turn around to understand from his expression how serious he was being.

"I'll try my best. Goodbye.", and with that she left with the Bull Terrier, Harry and his Golden Retriever.

She didn't know that Steven didn't pass out from the drinking.
She had no idea that he didn't even touch a bottle of the toxic drink.
Olivia couldn't even imagine, that he was wide awake, waiting for her to come home.

Another thing she couldn't know, was that her punishment was ready.
The knives were sharpened and the belts were brand new, new rats and other creatures ran in the basement, waiting for her.

She broke her promise and so did Harry.
