The Damsel and the Outlaw (MisaLaVan&Bigbadvoodoodaddy)

Ella couldn't help but let out a sigh when told her mother would be safe. Thought she didn't miss the way Widow was looking at her and replied to Markus. "Thank you." she offered him softly. She was just turning back to her food when he spoke again. "What?!" She all but yelled. She didn't want to go anywhere with Widow, even with Razor there. As much as she wanted to see her father hurt as she and her mother was, she didn't trust the woman. Once again she was shocked by the words that came out of Markus' mouth. Her eyes moved toward Widow and she knew at least now she be some what safe.

Meanwhile at her home her mother was freaking out. She didn't know where her daughter was, or why she wasn't home. Some men had come to talk to her husband, and he seemed unworried about the girl. She sat at her dinner table, her husband happily eating while she could bring herself to touch the food.
 
Markus looked at Ella "Come with me while I go get dressed this way you know that no damage will come to you while I'm gone" he could tell that she was afraid of everyone else in the club, especially Widow. As he said this he began slowly walking upstairs to get dressed in a leather trench coat and a nice suit which showed off his sculpted muscular body. After he was done he looked at Ella especially at her face where the bruise was still evident "I never wanted to be what I am just so you know" he said to Ella honestly "I always thought I'd go to school and become some businessman but instead I was taunted, beaten and treated like shit for being a German Immigrant. My mother and father were stolen from repeatedly and my sister was beaten and raped until she took her own life. That was my final straw I became The Devil and made sure everyone was too scared to hurt my family again."
 
Ella looked up at him shocked when told to come with him. She gave a nod and made her way to follow him. She didn't dare look back at the group, mainly Widow. She knew the look the woman was most likely giving her, and it wasn't her fault Markus did what he was. She stood in the room, her blue eyes taking it all in. She din her best to keep her hands to herself, thought from time to time she would let her fingers brush against objects. Her face still held the proof of what he had done to her, as did her neck.
She slowly turned toward him as he spoke. She took in his words and couldn't help the light laugh that left her pink lips. "In a way you are a businessman" She offered him with a smile. "I'm sorry about your sister, your parents.... they way you were treated." She looked down at her bare feet. "At least you were man enough to protect your family." She thought of her own father. Blue eyes snapped back up toward him as the words left her mouth. She took him in and was reminded he was fully man, years older then her 18 years. A deep blush rushed her face as she rushed out the only thing she could think to say, "Thank you... For keeping Widow from killing me." Oh yes that was smart she thought and her blush only deepened.
 
"I guess you are right in a way I am a businessman. My business is pain, violence, and death which is completely different than where I wanted to be in my life. I never liked violence as a child always being the jokester who tried to stop violence at all costs" he said being completely honest with her something he hadn't ever felt comfortable telling anyone. "You surprise me, young lady because I've never talked about my past with anyone other than my deceased friend Vladimir Vasiliev" he said fixing his dress shirt as he did so. "But that does not mean you're safe either. Mouth me again and I'll put you in your place" he said shaking his finger at her. "Now let's get downstairs and mounted up. Your father has a beating coming to him...One that I looked forward to giving."
 
Hearing his words she was hit by just how much he lost out on in life because of where he was from. She offered him a gentle smile. "Its never to late to changed" she offered him, though she was partly teasing him. She blushed at his words and offeres him a shrug. She rolled her eyes and made her way toward him. With out thinking about it she pushed his hands aside and fixed his shirt.
She step back once she fixed his shirt. His next words had her partly confused. She believed him yet she couldnt tell if he was trying to tease her. Her brows pulled together and she said the only thing that came to mind. "I make no promises" once more her fingers brushes against her brused cheek. This time his worda brought a smile to her face. She wanted to see him hurt her father. She gave a nod "after today I may not havr anywhere to go if you let me go. It be worth it to see that man hurt."
 
Markus was surprised as she came over and began helping him fix his shirt when it was completely straight he smiled at her "Thank you for helping me even after everything I've done to you thus far" he said honestly before going over to his dresser where he grabbed his gun belt and put it on before placing his guns inside of it.

Looking at himself in the mirror he knew something was missing and then it hit him like a brick slowly he reached deeper inside of the dresser and pulled out a very large German-made Bowie styled knife and placed it in an empty case on his belt. "You always have a place here as long as you can learn to get along with others" he teased knowing she had not done anything wrong to piss Widow off. Yet he thought it a good time to joke. "Let's get downstairs they must be waiting for us by now."
 
Blue eyes looked upward as he thanked her. She blushed once more at his words and couldnt help but look down for a moment. It was a fun feeling he was giving her now, part of her was learning she didnt need to fear him if she behaved. She watched him as he looked at himself before pulling out a knife. The large knife made her heart race, or at least thats what she blamed it on.
This time she knew he was teasing her. She rolled her eyes "Its not I who does not play well with others" she offered back. She wondered if he was being truthful. She gave a nod when told it was time to go though she made no move to go. "Markus.... do you mean it? Can I stay here?" Her face full of hope. She could learn to be better at keeping her mouth shut if he let her stay.
 
"Of course, of course, blame it on others," Markus said once more in a teasing way before finishing getting dressed and telling her that it was time to go. As they walked down to where the horses and the team were waiting for them Markus heard her asking the last question. "I don't see why you couldn't stay here. After today your father will want you nowhere around him because of what's about to happen that means you'll be another outcast just like my entire group and we do have enough room in this house for several more people to stay" Markus said scratching his chin lightly as they reached his horse "So, yes if you wanted to and can learn how to play better with others then I see no reason for not having you around as long as you'd like to stay" he said helping her up onto the horse before getting on himself. "Alright everyone let's ride," he said nudging the horse's sides with his heels.

The ride to town took half an hour because of the distance away from the city for privacy reasons of the club but eventually, they made it into town, riding in proper formation everyone in the streets moved to the side to allow the Black Plague group to go through town with no obstacles since everyone in town knew the reputation associated with the men and women of the group. Soon they pulled up to the house where Ella and her parents lived. And so he stopped the horse and dismounted the horse "Alright everyone Widow and Razor to the back make sure he doesn't escape the back door. Ella, Tiny come with me we're going in the front door" he said walking to the front door and opening it since it was unlocked as he walked inside. "Mr. Hoffman it seems there's a miscommunication between us you owe me... Quite a bit of money and I'm here to collect or break bones."
 
Ella couldn't help but smile at his teasing, it was good to see him so relaxed. She followed after him, asking if she could really say. A smile played on her lips when he said she could stay. "Thank you" She offered soft as they reason his horse. She gasped when she was put onto the horse, here she thought she might get her own horse. She sat in front of him, her eyes moving toward Widow for only a moment. She had to bite back the need to smile at the woman. It took them a half hour to reach her home, her blue eyes landed on the door. It was hard to explain what she felt in that moment. Markus dismounted and she soon followed. She watched as the woman and Razor headed around the back of the house. She followed Markus toward the door, moving around him once inside. "Mama" She called out. In that moment her mother came rushing out of the dinning room. She smiled at the older woman, though her mother seemed taken back by Markus. Blue eyes looked at him before she moved toward her mother.

"What happened?" The older woman asked. One hand brushing against the bruise on her face and her neck.

"Nothing... I'm fine" She offered lightly. She didn't want to worry the woman, her eyes moved back toward Markus shyly. Oh yes, She was anything but fine.
 
Markus smiled as he walked into the house with Ella. As soon as they entered the home her mother ran from the back of the house. Markus was surprised to see that her mother was just like his own and was a loving and caring mother who had truly loved her daughter. This made him happy that he had refused to allow Widow to hurt her earlier. "I'll tell you exactly what happened Mrs. Hoffman, your husband borrowed eight thousand dollars from Markus 'The Devil' Petrov and then decided that he was too good to pay back even a dime of that money. I took your daughter hoping that it would cause your husband to pay back even a portion of what he owed me... Unfortunately it seems that your husband loves his money more than he does his own family, which saddens me greatly and infuriated me even more." Markus said sitting down at the table, "Your daughter has asked me not to hurt you and honestly I can see why, but I need to know now Mrs. Hoffman, where is your husband? If he doesn't pay me because of his daughter missing then I'll break every finger on his fucking hand as a first warning that Markus Petrov is not one to be tantalized... Because my anger is well known throughout this country. They do not call me Der Teufel (The Devil) for nothing."

A few moments after Markus entered the building, Alexander Hoffman walked inside of the home. "Honey we haven't been able to find Ella ye...." he started, but he saw Ella standing in the middle of the room with Markus Petrov sitting inside as well... "Markus...listen, hey...things are bad right now with the company, I meant to..." he started, Markus then interrupted him.

Markus smiled as he stood up, "Shut your fucking mouth you spineless, cowardly, chicken-shit, no-balled, pussy!" he shouted angrily as he stood up "You're not only a terrible human being, a worse friend, and an absolute atrocious father... You're the kind of man who deserves a lesson in life taught to you, and I'm more than happy to be the person who teaches you that lesson."

Alexander tried to run out the back door, only to be stopped by Razor and Widow.

"You think I am stupid enough not to have the entire home surrounded? To make sure that your escape was impracticable, my once good friend." Markus said happily.
 
Ella's blue eyes looked toward Markus as started to explain things to her mother. The older woman, Mary, watched Markus clpsely. It was clear she didnt know what to make of the tall man. Though Mary's eyes moved toward her daughter, taking in how Ella looked at the man. Her brows pulled together and she shook her head. "I'm sorry. I did not know. Please don't hurt my daughter." The woman offered lightly, fear in her voice.

Ella shook her head and lied to her mother, she didnt want her to fear Markus. "Mama, I'm fine. Markis did not hurt me." She smiled lightly though she let her blue eyes move toward Markus. It was then her father entered the house. She saw the fear in the mans eyes and couldnt help but smile. "You lier" she snapped the same time Markus spoke. Her father ran for the back door, her mother called out for him to stop. Ella turned to her mother, knowing Widow was out there waitingm she didnt want her mother to see the things she had seen. She was a loving daughtet toward the woman, but she wanted to see her father in pain. She sent her mother up to yhe room the woman shared with her husband.
 
Alexander Hoffman was even more terrified as he tried running out of the back door only to find Razor and Widow waiting for him back there. "Shit," he mumbled as he slowly walked his way back inside towards the table to where Markus sat with Ella. Alexander being followed by the two other members of the Black Plague following him. "Ell... You're really going to allow your poor father to be beaten up for money... Can't you... I mean I gave you everything you ever wanted... Pay this man back in some other way."

Markus looked at Ella before standing up "You borrowed eight thousand dollars from me. You've paid back nothing and now you're trying to sell your daughter as some sort of sex slave or something" he asked curiously. Seeing Alexander opening his mouth to talk Markus held up his hand "You keep your fucking mouth shut right now... You're not a man you're a despicable monster and you're going to pay every dime back with interest" he said punching Alexander in the mouth as hard as he could sending him flying across the room. "Razor... Widow make sure he remembers this beating" Markus said sitting back down in the chair to watch.

Razor and Widow walked over to Alexander and began handing a very deadly beatdown.

"Would you like a couple of punches or kicks Ella" he said smiling up at her as he took her hand in his own. "This man just tried selling you as a sex slave, this man has treated you like shit your entire life. Do you not want some kind of payback on him?"
 
Ella looked at her father when he tried to get her to help him. Hate filled her eyes as she pulled her brows together. She have out a snort, something he hated when she did it. Before she could answer Markus barked at her father. Blue eyes watched him fly across the room. She knew she should of felt bad, but she didnt not in the less bit. She got such joy watching Razor and Widow beat her father.
Her head snapped toward Markus when he spoke to her. Though she seemed lost in his touch as he took her hand. Her face heated as her body warmed at just a simple holding of her hand. Blue eyes took him before she gave a small nod. She really wanted to hit the man. Not only he beat her most of her life, but here he had tried to get her to sleep with Markus just to help himself. She didnt make a move though, she was to lost in Markus touch. She didnt try to pull away from him. If anything she moved closer.
 
Markus smiled as he felt Ella moving closer to him after he had taken her hand in his own. He could see it in her big beautiful eyes that she wanted to hit her father, to make him pay for the terrible life that he had caused her. "Razor... Widow pick Mr. Hoffman up and hold his arms" he said clapping his hands.

Razor and Widow did exactly what was asked of them grabbing him by the arms and lifting him up so he was kneeling in front of everyone.

"Then do it. Let that hatred fill you up" Markus whispered in Ella's ear "Let the pain that he has caused you burn inside you like an untamed fire and hit him. He thinks you're nothing more than just some slut who'll open her legs to pay his debts... Show him you're more than that" Markus truly was acting like a devil now by putting thoughts of violence into her head.
 
Ella watched as the pair did as they were told. Her father on his knees blood for the beating they had given him. The feeling of Markus whispering in her ear sent a chill down her spine. She swallowed hard as she listened to him. She understood how he got the name devil now. His words worked and she moved toward her father. She stopped in front of him looking into his mud brown eyes and felt so much anger fill her.
She didnt stop as sje pulled her dist back and hit him right in to face. The hit was harder then she thought she could hit. His jead snapped back and before she gave herself time to think she hit him again. Her fist kept making contect with his face until her hand hurt. Blood ran down her fingers as she came to a stop. She wasnt sure whos blood it was. She let her blue eyes turn toward Razor. She looked only at him before rushing out of the house.
 
Markus smiled as he whispered in Ella's ear doing his best to get her to finally release the feelings she had kept locked away for quite some time and there was no better time for Ella to finally be able to release the anger she felt than now where her father was already beaten and being held down so he couldn't get too her. And just as he had wanted Ella punched her father once, then a second time before finally she just went crazy throwing multiple punches to the man's face which brought great joy to Markus... That was until she ran out that's when Markus stood up but was stopped by Widow who spoke... Hearing her talk he nodded his head "You be nice Widow I mean it."

"No Markus you take care of Alexander I will go talk to the girl," Widow said walking outside where Ella was "You know I hate you" she stated quietly before saying "But what I just saw in there... That man tortured you didn't he? Unfortunately, I know exactly how that feels. Anastaysia was once a beaten, battered and scared little girl just like you... That was until Markus came into my life that's when Anastaysia died and Widow was born" she said standing still since she knew that Ella was afraid of her.

Markus watched as Widow ran out to talk to Ella and his attention turned back to Alexander and he began punching Alexander in the face repeatedly for a couple of minutes before grabbing him up by the collar of his shirt "These beatings will gradually get worse until you start paying what you owe me. If you involve the police, or try to contact your daughter again though... I'll kill you... Not hurt you but actually physically kill you and your body will never be found."

Alexander was barely able to keep his head up after the beatings but as Markus spoke he nodded his head to the best of his abilities "I...I understand sir... I'll never...Never try to contact my daughter again or involve the police."
 
Ella stood outsidr her front door. Her heart was racing and her breathing heavy. Her hand hurt and she now knew some of the blood was her own. She was trying to fight back tears of anger and relief. She didnt move when she heard Widows voice. "Everyone thinks because my father has money he is a good man, they we have a good life." Her voice was horsed. "No one bothers to really try and see what my life is like." She keeps her blue eyes locked on the road in front of the home. "Markus told me.... how he saved you. Is that when you feel in love with him?" She knew Widow had feeling for Markus, even if he didnt see it.

She didnt move or turn toward Widow. "When I was 16 my father gave me a puppy. I had always wanted a puppy. A month or so later he ... he brought over this man, older then him. Told me I would marry him. When i protested and the man backed out, saying i was too mouthy." Markus had said the same words to her before. "My father came into me room.... he killed my puppy. He made me watch and clean up all the blood...." she choked on her words and shook her head.
 
Widow was shocked that Markus had spoken to this woman about her past. But the next comment was actually what threw her off the subject of her loving Markus had never come up before. She wasn't sure whether she should admit her love for Markus to this young woman who she had, hosed, stripped and imprisoned in a concrete room. It was weird because hours earlier she had nearly beaten this woman's ass and would've succeeded if it hadn't been for Razor stopping her from doing so. "Yes" was the only answer that she gave to Ella's comment about him liking Markus. "However, it'll never happen Markus is always going to be the one who got away from me. Especially now that you've gained his eyes... That's why when you made the comment earlier I wanted to kill you."

"I also see that you can pretend that you're not one of us but you're damaged just like us which means if you do stay with us you'll fit in pretty well" he said honestly "Though Markus did just get a new puppy, a small German Shepard named Theoderic after his favorite Germanic folklore hero Theoderic the Great."
 
This time she did look at Widow and she couldnt help but laugh. "Markus does not have a thing for me." She looked forward and let out sigh. She could never believe he woulf have a thing for her. She was a girl, sure she was blonde, but as he said she was too mouthy for him. Beside she would never know how to please someone like Markus. He was handsome and she found herself drawn to him.
Widows next words had her blue eyes once more on the older woman. Her brows pulled together, she wanted to make a smart comment but didnt. "I had to learn to pretend. You know better then I do what men do torls when they are broken." A smile tugged on her lips. "Everyone should get to own a puppy... Markus has one." Sure she would love to play with the puppy, but she knew it would always belong to Markus. "I want to go home now.... " her words were weak. The truth was she rather live her life in that concert room then ever be here again.
 
"If that's what you believe child then you have a lot to learn about the real world," Widow said this time placing her small yet strong hand on Ella's shoulder "Because anyone who knows Markus that only the people he cares about intently would get revenge in this way... Sure it was about getting his money back but he actually allowed you to punch your father knowing that your father couldn't touch you." Then she looked at Ella once more "Yes he has a puppy and if you ask he might introduce you to Theo the puppy."

Markus looked at Razor "Let's get home we'll leave this piece of shit in a pool of his own blood to think about everything that was said tonight. We'll see in the next couple of days whether or not he can be trusted when we see money in our hands. If not this happens again" he said walking out of the house where Widow and Ella were standing. Whistling he watched as the horse walked up to them. Markus helped Ella up onto the horse before getting back onto the horse himself. A beautiful large black stallion who had once been called the 'untameable' horse. Nudging the horse's side he was happy as the large stallion ran off as quickly as possible back towards the Black Plague HQ.
 
Ella openes her mouth to speak. She wantes to point out that Markus had let her kill her owm father. That he had ssaved Widow and helped her the way he was helping Ella. None of that meant he was found of her they way Widow said he was of her. However she didnt get to say any of that as the men came out of the house. She didnt protest as Markus put her on the back of his horse. She wondered for a split secons if Widow would be nice to her now.
She was broken out of her thoughts as Markus joined her on the horse and they headed home . She didnt say anything for a long time. "Markus...." her voice was gentle. It was clear the day had been hard on her. "Am I going to have to stay in that room?" They had never spoke of it. She didnt care anyway... she held her brusing hand in front of her, it hurt so bad she thought maybe she broke a finger. "Thank you for letting me stay with you."
 
Markus stayed quiet as the horse raced through down the road out of town towards the Black Plague HQ. The scenery on the way was absolutely beautiful, meadows of flowers surrounded them like a beautiful sea on each side of the dark yet somewhat relaxing old country road they were on. You could see that the one great stone of the road was worn down and well used. Silence surrounded them and only the whistling of the wind passing by could be heard.

Markus was thinking of everything that had happened in the last twenty-four hours with finding out Alexander Hoffman had betrayed him, Markus kidnapping Ella and falling slightly for her because of her fiery attitude and her amazing personality, Widow and Markus torturing said girl. Now beating Alexander up and even having innocent Ella helping him. It wasn't until Ella spoke that he was pulled from his thoughts. "I'm not sure where you're going to stay Razor will be in charge of getting you, your room and making you feel at home since you're now damaged just like the of the Black Plague group. Right now I'm thinking of dinner and playing with my puppy."
 
Ella looked toward Razor for a moment before modding. In that moment she was once again think Widow was crazy. There was no way Markus liked her anymore then he had. She smiled though as he spoke of his puppu. "Widow told me you just got the puppy." She thoight carefully for a moment, before speaking. "I had a puppy once. My father gave him to me, and then he killed him." Her vocie grew sad for a moment.
Taking in a deep breath she could help it as she leaned back against him. Her back pressed against his strong chest. She took in his warmth and for a moment she found she wanted him to like her. Her eyes closed and she enjoyed the rest of the ride home. Even if being this close to him would only happen this one time she would enjoy.
 
Markus watched as everything went on. She went silent once more after he told her that Razor would be finding her the room that would become hers for however she long to stay with them. It was surprising that she had stayed so calm even after he had choked her, slapped her while also giving the order to have her stripped and left naked in a cold stone room soaking wet.

Hearing Ella's story about her puppy actually saddened him greatly he couldn't have imagined being given a puppy only to watch it die by the hands of a parent who was supposed to keep you happy. "Well, I am truly sorry to hear that your father was such a horrible man to you. It seems he was even worse than I could've ever expected. But while you're in my home you may feel free to play with Theo or even Gunner whenever you like" Theo was obviously the baby German Sheppard puppy that he had but Gunner was Razor's dog who was only a year old. "Gunner is Razor's Rottweiler he's just out of the puppy ages though he still acts like one. This is what a real family does for one another Ella we take care of each other" and then he felt her leaning against him, how Markus wanted to wrap his arm around her, hug her to him, kiss her forehead and tell her everything was going to be alright but that would not be right since only hours earlier he had been her captor not her friend.
 
She offered a weak smile when he spoke of how sorry he was about her puppy.. it had been two years since that all had happened. Ella did offer him a happy smile when told she could play with his puppy or Razors. Though part of her wanted to laugh when he offered up someone else puppy. She would ask Razor before playing with Gunner.

While she leaned back again Markus she let herself get lost in her thoughts. Just this afternoon she had been kidnappped. Not only had Markus hit her, choked her, but he let Widow hose her and strip her before leaving her to freeze. She fear Widow, even after the woman spoke to her, she didnt trust her. She felt the woman still wanted to kill her. But after all that Markus had been nice, he was being nice. She found it easy to trust him as silly as it sounded. Much worse had been done to her at the hands of her father. Widows words kept creeping into her mind. As they got back to the club house she found herself nervus again
