Chapter 16 - Chapter 16 - Victoria's POV

We arrived early in the morning but spent the night on the boat until it was about nine. I woke up to scrambled eggs on toast. I eat it and it was great. At around half ten, a woman in her thirties came in. Marcus went over to hug her and she looked at me curiously. "Is this the girl you were talking about? She is Leo's Forever you dumbass." The woman said. Please don't send me back I kept repeating in my head as the memories of why I ran came back. "I know but I need to help her. Harris sent me and Rosie please help me. if you could hear her thoughts you would want to help her too." Marcus said begging her. Rosie came over to me and looked at me. she tried to touch me and I flinched away. Her eyes softened as she saw marks on my arms. After sighing and moaning at Marcus she agreed to help me. we went back to her bakery and they let me settle in. they promised to keep me safe until I wanted to go back. Rosie asked if I was any good at baking and I nodded. I loved baking. Despite always being forced to do it, it was fun. Rosie said I could work in the bakery and help her out. she also said that Marcus had to work there too so that I could communicate. This was a normal life. Well, as normal as I could get.

Skip forward four months and everything is going great. I have learned so many new skills in the kitchen and in life. I have money saved for a rainy day, I have an amazing job and good friends. Rosie has been amazing. I found out a couple of weeks after I had got here that Rosie and Harris are together. Harris has a Soul Mate and his Soul Mate is Rosie. She wasn't impressed with what he did and got a long talking too. I laughed at this. Everyone looked at me when I laughed. It was the first time since I had got here. Marcus and Harris have decided that they are my big brothers now. They started to teach me self defence so that I could defend myself. I had gotten pretty good. Around a month after I got here, I started to talk. At first it was only now and then but a month later I was talking like I had never stopped. They were all surprised at this and they encouraged me. They helped me. They are amazing. Marcus gave me some special cream to help heal my scares and now they are pretty much all gone. I looked different. I had more colour on me, I had put on a healthy amount of weight and even dyed the tips of my hair purple. I had gained confidence and it felt great. I still had nightmares at night and no one could stop those. Marcus tried his best before asking Harris who also tried his best. They even tried together but nothing worked longer then a week. It didn't matter though. I was happy. We still all had to be careful. I might not look the same or go by the same name but some people may still recognise me. That seemed to be the case today.

Me and Marcus had just gotten back from doing a couple of deliveries to find the shop door off it's hinges. Marcus gave me a knife and told me to be careful. I had been trained to use a knife but they didn't let me keep one just in case I relapsed. I walked in after Marcus and saw the tables overturned and broken. The glass counter was smashed and there was blood on the floor. We ran into the back to follow the blood. Luckily it was just splatters. It was Rosie's because Harris had strangely gold blood. It was weird but it made us both worry more. we went around the back to see Rosie tied to a chair. Marcus held me back and pointed to the corner. In the corner was a shadow. "Show yourself asshole!" Marcus shouted. As he said that I felt a hand go around my mouth. I instantly stabbed the hand and pulled away to go closer to Marcus. "Shit, Vicky it's me." I heard Harris shout. That would explain the gold. "It's you own fault." I said back and we both looked at the shadow again. The shadow came into the light and it was Leo. Shit how did he find me. "Give me back Victoria and I'll give you back your girl." He said talking to Harris and Marcus. Rosie woke up and looked at us. She started to cry and shake her head. She was trying to say something. I looked behind me and there was ten men there waiting to fight. I couldn't take that many on. I could take one on or maybe two but Harris would be too worried about Rosie and Marcus would be too worried about me to fight properly. "Your call Vic, what do you want to do?" Marcus asked. Harris nodded.

"You take them on and I'll get Rosie." I said. Both boys nodded and went to fight the vamps I think. I went to get Rosie. Leo wouldn't hurt me. I could get Rosie and make a run for it, or have another person to fight with us. The boys started to fight and I ran over to Rosie to untie her. I checked to make sure she was okay and she wasn't. it looked like her arm was broken with lots of scratches and cuts on her right side and back. She was able to stand though. I had to get her out of here and fast. She wouldn't be able to fight. "Victoria we are here to take you back home. You don't need to worry about these guys." Leo said and came over to take my hand. I pulled away from him and helped Rosie to walk outside. We didn't get outside though. I felt Rosie being pulled away from me and Leo had hold of her. "Leave her alone!" I shouted at him and tried to get Rosie back. She was still losing blood but only a little bit. "Stop there or I'll kill her." Leo warned me. Did he just say that? What the hell? The guys heard this too. Sadly this made them get distracted which meant they now had knives to their throats. I couldn't even think how to save them all. "Leave them alone and I'll go with you." I said and dropped my knife. Leo gave Rosie to one of his soldiers and out a knife to her throat too. Leo grabbed hold of both my arms. Then Leo nodded to his soldiers. In a second, the three people who helped me lay bleeding out on the floor. Their throats had all been cut. I screamed and tried to get to them. I was screaming and crying and cursing Leo. He had killed them in front of my eyes. Rosie didn't even have any powers. She was human like me. And she died. I felt a prick on the top of my arm and then dizziness. I hate Leo and I would never forgive him for this. Not ever.
