The Damsel and the Outlaw (MisaLaVan&Bigbadvoodoodaddy)

"Surround her" Joren 'Sixgun' Armand the legendary Outlaw said coming out of the hidden brush around where Ella now laid on the ground. It had been him who had shot Theodorus and the horse this young woman had been riding on. This man was legendary having been one of the best shots in the entire country other than Markus himself. He was also the only man powerful enough and legendary enough to fight Markus as well. Thus why he was kidnapping the young woman Markus had been seen with earlier in the day. He hadn't always been this way, in fact, Joren had once been one of the happiest men in the country having been reunited with his true love Isabella Harper, the two had been extremely happy having gotten through a false pregnancy from one of his ex's who claimed to have his child but hadn't. The two had lived a fruitful life and soon Isabella had become pregnant with his child and then died in childbirth with both her and the baby dying. This had caused Joren to die inside and the once happy man was a true outlaw now.

As Ella began running Joren drew his gun shooting quicker than the eye could see and hit her directly in the leg making her fall. Joren walked up to where Ella had fallen before kicking her. Before standing over her "So you are the whore of Markus Petrov. The Devil has evaded my clutches for too long" he said pulling a rope from his back pocket and tied the woman like a pig with her hands and feet tied together. "You're a very valuable find because now I can take out my biggest rival once and for all and prove myself to be the most legendary outlaw of all time.

Joren placed Ella on the horse and rode off to the Dark Rider's clubhouse which was an hour away from where they were. As they got home Joren had Ivan place the young woman in a cell that was similar to what you'd put a dog into. "Tell me everything you know about Markus where is his HQ... Tell me his weaknesses so that I may finally take my place at the top of the outlaw foodchain. And I will let you live."

"You should go after her" Widow said honestly.

"Yes, I guess I should," Markus said as he walked outside getting on his horse riding in the same direction that Ella had gone. It took him a few miles before he found Theo and Razor's horse dead. Wondering what had happened he found a bullet casing with the letter DR with six dots etched into it. He knew this design it was the design of the most legendary outlaw group in the Country other than his own. The two had been in multiple gunfights but Markus had always escaped safely. "Shit," Markus said to himself before mounting up to ride back home. Upon returning Razor, Tiny, and Widow stood waiting for his return. Markus walked up "This is all your fault you piece of shit," he said pushing Razor roughly and angrily "The fucking Dark Riders got their hands on her... So be waiting for Joren's letter you know it's going to come" he said making his way to his room before he did some real damage to Razor.
 
Ella let out a scream as she was shot in the leg. Fear filled her as men moved toward her. She let out a yelping cry as she was kicked. Blue eyes looked up at the man, filled with fear. Tears flowed from her eyes as she was tied up. She could feel her leg bleeding as she was taken hours away from home, away from Markus. In that moment she never felt more stupid, why had she run. While she knew why she ran, she wanted Markus to be happy and as much as she loved him she wasn't sure she could make him happy.
She found herself in a cell and looked up at the man. "I...." She cried out, her leg had stopped bleeding but it hurt like a bitch. "I don't know anything." She said lightly. She wouldn't tell this man anything, she would never hurt Markus like that, or Razor.
 
Joren Armand was not going to be as easy on Ella as Markus had been once they got to the Dark Rider's HQ and she had been thrown into the cell. Joren made his way down to the cell and walked inside with her as she said she didn't know anything he stomped on her leg where the bullet was still located "You fucking disgusting whore I'm not fucking playing around with you... Do you not understand how much danger you're in" he snarled angrily.

"Joren calm down Isabella wouldn't want you acting this way," Ivan said making his way from the darkness. Unlike Joren Ivan stayed his gold-hearted kind self though now he had lost his son and a woman he considered as a daughter. While also technically losing Joren since he had lost himself in Isabella's death.

"Don't fucking mention her" Joren said angrily letting out a primal scream he kicked Ella three times directly into the stomach with his boot..."FUCKING TELL ME WHAT I WANT TO KNOW" he said grabbing her slamming her against each side of the cell angrily and roughly.

"ENOUGH" Ivan yelled reaching in to grab Joren he yanked the man out of the cell throwing him across the room "Go calm down," he said watching as Joren walked off. "I'm sorry," Ivan said softly still being the kind man he had always been "Joren has gone too far because of the death of his wife and child" slowly he made his way into the cell as he wiped Isabella's face off carefully with a wet towel. "Yalkov my son take this letter to the location that's written on the front of the paper and say it is for Markus' eyes only.

"Yes father" Yalkov said honestly as he took the letter and began the ride to the location written on the paper. "This letter is for Markus of the Black Plague only."

~~A couple of hours later~~

--The Black Plague HQ--

Markus had gone haywire destroying rooms with ease as he waited for something to tell him where Ella was or how she was doing. He knew Joren wanted him, he knew that one of them would be dead by the end of it. But that was a small price to pay for Ella's freedom.

"Markus this just came from you brought to you by Mr. Chapman," Tiny said holding the paper in his hand.

"What does it say," Markus asked curiously I'm not sure Mr. Chapman said that Yalkov the eldest son of Joren's number two Ivan sent it to us and specifically stated this was for your eyes alone."

Markus took the paper and began reading it. 'Dear Mr. Petrov I write to you to let you know that we have the young woman who you've been seen with multiple times. She has been taken prisoner by Joren Armand and myself because of your cowardice. If you would've faced Joren to the death on the multiple occasions that he has tried to face you, we wouldn't have been forced to go to the extreme measures that we have currently gone to. If you ever wish to see this woman alive again you'll meet us at six p.m in the middle of town to face Joren one on one, gun to gun, man on man, outlaw versus outlaw to the death' as he finished reading Markus crumpled the paper in his hand "Get Razor and Widow ready, we're going to town. They want Joren versus myself to the death in the middle of town or else we'll never get Ella back" he said taking a deep breath "I'm praying to the Gods that I can beat Sixgun."

"Fuck her Markus" Tiny said angrily "After all the pain she has caused this group why do you continue to protect her?"

"Because I love her" Markus said honestly "Now do as I ask or I'll kill you myself."
 
Ella cries out as Joren stomped onto her leg. She shook her head as tears roll down her face. She didnt know anything, and she would not tell him if she did. She loved Markus, and would never do anything to hurt him. Her eyes looked toward the man who spoke, tried to get Joren to stop. However all he seemed to do was piss him off. She cried out as his boot meant her stomach. "I dont know anything." She choked out. Joren left and the other man moved toward her. She pulled away and tried to hide within herself.
 
"Don't worry I'm not going to try to gather any information from you. Honestly, there is no reason for me to do anything" he said taking the rag... "I'm going to remove the bullet it's going to hurt but if we don't get it out then you could get an infection and lose your leg" with that said Ivan cut into her leg carefully before reaching into remove the bullet from her leg. Once the bullet was removed Ivan took some alcohol and poured it on a rag before placing it against the open wound knowing that it would hurt but not trying to hurt her. From his back pocket he pulled out gauze and began wrapping her leg. "I'm sorry that this happened to you, I never wanted this but Joren is our boss, our brother even though he's lost his mind" he said lightly rubbing her hair out of her face. Ivan had never been a monster having always been a fatherly figure to everyone who came into the Dark Riders but since Isabella and the babies birth that had all chance. Joren had become basically evil and without a single care in the world because of it. "Now I bid you adieu child I hope that everything works out in the end..

~~Several hours later~~

Markus Petrov stood in the middle of the town waiting for Joren Armand and his merry band of jack-holes to show up. They had taken his Ella, kidnapped her and probably damaged her but this didn't matter to Markus. He loved Ella even though he was completely pissed at her for kissing him and running away. Over the last few hours Markus had been hiding the upper echelon members of the Black Plague in different locations around where Joren and Markus was supposed to have their duel to the death. The only member not allowed had been Razor. Markus was still upset and refused to have him anywhere around to Markus Razor was already dead.

Joren had already made his way to the cell where Ella was and tied her up once more. Before placing her on his shoulder and carrying her out to where his horse was located. The ride took quite some time but they finally made it to the middle of town where Joren saw Markus waiting. Slowing the horse to a slow gallop he hopped off the horse grabbing Ella who was hogtied he threw her to the ground hard "Hey Markus this is your bitch come get her... Because she isn't going any where until one of us are dead." As he said this he looked over "Ivan take the whore on the sidelines bring the entire gang and stand her next to Widow" he said seeing her standing at the side.

Ivan sighed as he walked out grabbing Ella before cutting the ropes so that she could walk by herself. As he carried her to the side where Widow was Ivan spoke "I hope Markus finally releases Joren from his anger. Death will reunite him with his wife and child and that will make me happy" he said saying the words he'd feared to say for quite some time.

Widow stood with her hands on her hips as Ella was brought over to them hearing Ivan's words though she gasped having never heard a number two as close as Joren and Ivan were talk about wishing their brother dead. But she shook her head "Wow that's heavy Ivan" she said before turning to Ella "Are you alright dear" she asked curiously.
 
Fear filled Ella's eyes as the man spoke of removing the bullet. "WHAT?!" She panicked and started to move away. "No.. You can't" He didn't listen though and before she knew it she was being cut into. She let out a scream as tears rolled down her face. Her screams only grew louder as he removed the bullet. She was crying as he pushed the hair out of her face. She passed out after he left. She woke when Joren came in to tie her up. The ride was painful, and she cried the whole time. She was thankful when they reached town, and she was untied. She walked, or more limped as she made her way over to Widow with Ivan. Her eyes where locked on the ground and she didn't dare look at anyone. She was covered in blood and dirt. Her dress was ripped and her hair was a mess. Widow asked if she was okay and all she could do was shake her head. She didn't dare look at Widow, or Markus. She was having a hard time standing.
 
Widow placed her arm around Ella's waist pulling the young woman into her as her right hand reached down to where her eight-inch stiletto blade was located, opening it softly she jumped around Ella slicing right across Ivan's neck making sure to hit the carotid so where the large man would bleed out, not dying instantly but taking three minutes to die out. Whistling loudly her horse (A solid black stallion with white streaks in his mane and tail) came running up quickly and she tossed the small Ella onto the horse before jumping on herself smacking the horses ass as she did which cause the horse to race off before Widow was even completely settled. "What you did was stupid," she said scoldingly towards Ella "Fuck with Razor and Markus, get them to love you, then hurt them both and runoff," she said angrily before sighing "But God I'm so glad that you're back safely as much as it pains me to say this I have kind of taken a liking to you" she repeated as she rode off quickly making sure to take measures to go out of her way and circling back several times before making her way to the HQ.

"IVAN" Joren yelled angrily as he chased after the horse that Ella and Widow were on but knew there was no chance. "FUCK" he yelled angrily turning around to see if he could find Markus but the man had disappeared into the crowd "COWARD" he yelled.

Markus knew that this time was going to be different than before he couldn't run from Joren Armand he had to take the man out once and for all so he made his way through the crowd until he was close enough to disarm Joren. Then a fight ensued between them.

The fight went on for three hours two legendary outlaws going hand to hand with each other, beating the living hell out of each other. Finally, Joren got the upper hand and was able to grab the gun Markus had knocked out of his hand shooting the man.

Markus seeing that Joren had a gun was able to move enough so that the shot went directly through his abdomen and he threw his knife at Joren hitting him directly into the heart throwing it hard enough to piece the actual heart and kill Joren... "Fuck you sack of shit," he said as he finally passed out.

Tiny found Markus' body moments after the duel was over, Tiny called his horse and put Markus on it before riding to the HQ.. The rode took quite some time but once they arrived he yelled for one of the guys to help Tiny put Markus into bed.

Ibis Amument was the Black Plague's resident surgeon and doctor she was currently working on Ella cleaning her wounds and making sure she was well taken care of as Tiny busted through the door.

Tiny looked at Ibis "Forget the whore Ibis Markus needs your immediate medical attention he's badly beaten with a gunshot wound."

"Dude will you get the fuck out of her with that shit," Razor said pushing Tiny out of the room angrily "Go to Markus with Ibis and leave Ella alone or I'll kill you myself," he said angrily before making his way into the room Ella was in "How you doing kiddo" he asked curiously sitting on the bed beside her.
 
Ella let out a scream as she was thrown onto Widows horse. She looked at the older woman with tears in her blue eyes. "I didnt mean for Razor to fall ib love with me. He was the only one who didnt hate me." She closed her eyes as she felt weak "I love Markus. I was just trying to make his life better again. If I wasnt around non of this would of hap...." at that she passed out. It wasnt until they were back at HW that she woke in her room.
The doctor was looking her over, but Ella wouldnt tell anyone what had happened to her. Hell she wouldnt say a word to anyone. From time to time she would cry out in pain. When Tiny came running into her oom she could stop the tears. She feard Markus would die, and everything would of been for nothing. As everyone lift and Razor sat on her bed she shifted her body. Her back toward him as she hid as beat as she could. Didnt want to talk to him or anyone else. "You should of let them kill me." Was he her reply.

Would be her only reply for the next few days. She wouldnt eat anything they brought to herm she woke up in the middle of the might, often times screaming for Markus. She had been found hiding in her closet and under her bed. She wouldnt tell anyone what they had done to her. She had thought Joren was mean, but when he and Ivan left his men showed her just how crule they could be.
 
"You have a funny way of showing your love by disappearing" Widow said honestly about to scold the younger woman before she passed out which caused Widow to roll her eyes. Upon returning to the HQ Widow carried the young woman to her room as the doctor's began checking Ella over.

"I wasn't there... Wasn't allowed to be since you've left the hatred Markus has for me has only doubled...Possibly even tripled" he said honestly as he looked at Ella "But you have nothing to worry about I am not upset with you...And even if you choose not to talk to me I'll still be your friend no matter what and will be here when you're ready to talk" he said patting her back softly before getting up to leave to his own room.

The doctors went to Markus and began checking up on him. None of them honestly thought Markus would live with the injuries he had no normal man should've...

Markus passed out and almost died twelve times over the next few days the injuries took their toll on him but on the third day Markus' eyes opened and he tried to stand up having everyone trying to stop him. However, he wasn't having it. Standing up he watched as everyone looked at him. "What has become of Ella?"

"She hasn't been right Markus," Widow said honestly "She screaming for you constantly Markus, she has hidden in her closet and under her bed to name a few things. Though we've tried getting something out of her to find out what happened to her she has kept her silence and not spoken a word to any of us."

Markus sighed as he shook his head as he tried walking but fell against the wall as everyone rushed to him. "No," he said bluntly "I will do it of my own accord," he said angrily before using the wall to make his way to Ella's bedroom. Not seeing her he figured she was hiding again and so he made his way to her bed and sat on it "Come from wherever you are... It is Markus I've heard you've refused to talk to anyone but I'm here now and while I have things to say to you I'd rather hear from you first."
 
Ella had hearx people talking she feared Markus wouldnt make it. She was hiding in her closet when she heard her door open. Holding her breath she listened as the person moved around her room. The peraon sounded to big to Widow and the only other person who came to see her was Razor. However it was Markus' voice that had her heart jumping. She didnt want to talk, but she wanted to see him. Every move she made was carefully thought out. She slipped from her closet but stood close to the wall. Her eyes only stayed on Markus for a few seconds at a time. Her handa where red from the way she twisted them about. The doctor and Widow had stripped her down and clean her just the other day. The white nightgrow hung lightly around her body. Her arms, legs and face covered in now ugly yellow bruses. Her mouth opened and closed a few times before she apoke softly. "I was worried about you." It was the only thing she said.
 
"Just a flesh wound I'll be back to normal in no time" Markus said making light of his injuries as he always did when injured. "But honestly my wounds aren't what is worrying me. I've heard you've been calling for me, heard that you've been hiding from everyone and refusing to speak... I see your hands are red from constant rubbing, I see the bruises on your arms, legs and face those are the wounds I'm worried about. So please come over here sit next to me and tell me what has happened to you Ella I want to fix whatever it is we have left...If there is anything left between us with the way you ran off the last time" as he said this Markus tapped the bed right beside where he was sitting.

As Markus moved from his room Tiny and Widow followed closely behind him standing in the hallway protecting the door so that no one could go in and interrupt Markus's time with Ella. They both knew that after her being gone so long Markus would want to talk to her, figure out what had happened to her and even figure out what was to become of them. It was obvious that Markus loved Ella no man who wasn't in love would deal with the things he had already dealt with, with her. "You know Tiny" Widow said softly "I've been afraid to get with anyone afraid of being hurt like Markus has been but... I think Markus is right I think it's time that I follow his lead and take a chance...With you."

Tiny turned his head as he heard her "Well let us get Markus better first Widow and I swear to make every day after that all about you" Tiny said smiling.. It was because of Ella that both of them realized that they loved each other without her none of this would've been possible.
 
Ella shook her head when Markus said he was worried about her. She didnt wsnt him to worry about her, she didnt want him to be hurt. It was the reason she had run off in the first place. She thought he undeestood that, thats why she told him she loved him. So he would understand why she had to leave. When he spoke of her hands she helded them under her chin. She did as he asked, moving to sit beside him. A plate of untouched food on her sidetable. She didnt speak though, she didnt look at him. Her blue eyes filled with tears as she tried to hold herself together. With him there she felt more relaxed.
 
"Eventually you're gonna need to open up to someone about the things that have happened to you. I will not allow you to continue on the way you have over the last few days. I care about you Ella greatly and will refuse to allow you to continue hurting all alone" Markus said lightly placing his hand on her leg. "You're special to me, to Razor and even to this club in ways that you could never understand. You've become the symbol of hope here and while people might've been angry at you before it's only because they were angry at themselves" slowly he pulled his shirt up allowing her to see the massive bandages where his wounds were "You refuse to look at me, refuse to talk to me, refuse to go back to who you were. These wounds, these wounds that nearly killed me according are wounds of love. Because only a man madly in love would walk into harm's way the way I did to save you... These are not your fault, my injuries are not your fault so know that now" Markus said honestly "If you feel like talking you know where to find me until then I'll be waiting for the woman that I fell in love with to get her act straight" Markus was being hard on her but it was for her own good sometimes you had to say what needed to be said before things changed.

Slowly he walked to the door, upon opening it saw Tiny and Widow outside "Surprise, surprise after I tell you to allow me to do things on my own the babysitter crew couldn't help but follow me to make sure I was alright" he said walking out and towards his room again followed closely by Widow and Tiny.
 
The moment his hand touch her leg, Ella's whole body stiffen. She relaxed after a few minites, but only slightly. She took in his body as he lifted his shirt. Shock filled her when he spoke of being madly in love with her. He got up and walked away from her. As he opened the door she opened her mouthm she was ready to ask him to stay, but there was Widow and Tiny. She didnt sare speak around the male who hated her so.

The day went on as all the others. She didnt speak or eat and soon found herself in bed for the night. As everynight she was hunted by nughtmares. She woke up in tears scream for Markus. She knew he voice rang around the whole house but she couldnt stop. She acreamed his name, begged for him to come save her. It was like she was stock in a endless lope. "Markus!" She cried. "Please.... pl... please.... Markus!"
 
The rest of the night was weird for Markus he tried laying in his bed but no matter how he laid it hurt his side and so finally after hours of trying he finally gave up trying. Standing up he made his way to his library so where he could read, sitting in one of the antique chairs that adorned his beautiful library he grabbed one of his favorite books and began reading it. Before he knew it he had already read two books, he had missed dinner and six hours had passed.

Standing Markus put the books back on the shelves ready to go to his room but that's when he heard it. Ella's scared voice echoed through the hallways which caused Markus to run through the hallways as fast as his injuries would allow him as he reached the door Tiny and Widow were already there. "Go back to your rooms I have this," he said watching them walk away before quietly slipping into her room. Seeing her there on the bed screaming his name in fear broke Markus' heart whatever had happened to this beautiful young woman must've been terrible to cause such nightmares and he wondered if she had screamed his name then...That thought really broke his heart though because she would've been calling for him and he hadn't been able to protect her.

Markus made his way towards her bed sitting on the side softly before placing his hand on her waist "Calm down Ella... I'm right here nothing will happen to you any longer. Markus is here...I'll keep you safe this time."
 
Ella kept screaming as Markus entered the room. Her voice going horse as her body shook in fear. It was as if she didnt know where she was. When Markus sat on her bed and spoke her head snapped toward him. "M...markus." his name came out in a shaky voice. Her hands rwached other slowly and brushed against his lovely face. The moment she touched his warm skin she cried. She launched herself forward to wrap her arms around his neck. "Markus... please.... I'm sorry." Her voice was soft and horse now. She shook her head. "Please don't let them hurt me. I promise I'll do anything you want." She begged for him to keep her safe. It was as if she didnt remember being saved, as if she thoight she was still stuck with Joren. Her body shool against his and she held tightly to him.
 
Markus watched as she continued to call out for him, his heartbreaking as she continued to do this. As she woke up he saw the fear present in her eyes. "Yes Ella I am here," he said softly wanting her to know that she was safe in his presence. However, as she launched herself at him his arm went around her holding her to him carefully "You don't need to be sorry Ella you are home with me. You are safe and no harm shall come to you while I'm around" he said hugging her small body to his own.

"You have nothing to worry about Joren and Ivan are dead and soon the rest of the Dark Riders will follow suit I have my best members looking for them to take them out one by one and squash them like the insects they are. Feeling her shaking in his arms Markus lifted her up placing her in his lap as he held her small body against his own larger body. "It's alright, I swear" he whispered carefully.
 
While Markus' words helped, she was still fearful. She curled into him once placed in his lap. She kept herself tucked as close as she could get. The tears had slowed, but still fell as she repeated his name. "Please.... dont leave. I dont want to be alone. Im sorry." Her hold on him didnt lose a bit. She held onto the back of his shirt and her blue eyes darted around the room. It took a few minutes for her to clam enough the shaking stoped, though she didnt relax other wise. "He killed theo. He shot him." Shr said softly. " i tried to come back, but I was lost.... he shot me." She was finally opening up about what had happened.
 
"I'm sorry to hear about Theo and even more so to hear that you were shot. I never wanted this life for you when I saved you from your father" Markus said honestly "In ways, I blame myself for this happening to you. If I had shown you how much I cared earlier then maybe...Just maybe you would've stayed and everything would've been alright. But you have nothing to worry about I won't leave you until you ask me to do so" Markus said honestly as he reached down lightly wiping her hair out of her face "And while it will not replace him I could always get you another dog...Any breed you want will be yours as soon as you say what kind you want" he said excitedly with a smile. "But I sense there is more than just being shot and losing Theo isn't there" he asked hoping that she would tell him everything that had happened to her now that they were together with her in his arms safe from any harm.

"I just want to reiterate though that you are completely safe we have guards patrolling the HQ at all hours of the night. I am going to stay with you as long as you want and that soon every person who hurt you will be dealt with the Outlaw way."
 
She looked up as he wiped the hair from face. Her long blonde locks where all over the place. "I did want you to be hurt. I left so you could be happy. I just wanted you too be happy " she cried. Trying to explain why she had ran. He had done the same thing for her, she wanted him to be happy. A slight smile tugged on her lips. She didnt want him to get her another dog or anything if he didnt want to. He had been hurt saving her, she didnt wa t to be a bother.

She looked down when he said there was something more that happened. He said she was safe, but being with him was the first time she felt safe in days. She feard the men would come back for her. "Joren... he wanted to know where you were. I... I would never do that to you. He beat me.... ivan... he jad to remove the bullet from my leg." Sje swallowed hard and closed her eyes tught. She hide her face in his neck. "When they left.... the.. the other men... they came.... they...." she shook her head "Markus" she cries it was to much to remember she didnt want him to think less of her, to find her dirty if she told him. "They laughed when i cried for you. They promised to bring me your body when Joren killed you. They said I was theirs" she curled deeper into herself. A small ball of fear in his lap. "Please... Markus...." she was getting lost in the memories again. The fear over taking her body and mind.
 
Markus looked at her as she spoke "I've never been happier than when I was with you" he said finally saying the words he had wanted to say for quite some time. It was different for him to speak his emotions so freely but she deserved to know the truth about what he felt, how she made him feel.

"Somehow it doesn't surprise me that Joren beat you. The man has been an absolute monster since his wife and child died" Markus said softly as he heard that there was more. His eyebrows raised as he looked at her she never actually said what happened and only one thing came to his mind when she didn't finish... Had they...Had they taken her innocence from her. Oh God if that happened then he wasn't sure he'd be able to control himself from crying. Though he didn't have long to think of these things as he felt her body shivering again knowing that the memories of what had happened to her were starting to cause her problems again. "Hey, hey" he whispered looking at her making her look up into his warm caring eyes "You have nothing to fear I'm here for you my little angel" he whispered happily "And no harm will come to you while I'm around."
 
Deep down she filled with joy that she made him happy. Butbher heartbroke, she had nothing to give him. Joren's men jad take the only thing she had. He whispered sweetly to her and she cried harder. "I.... i have nothing.... they took it Markus." She knew he would understand. Only months ago he had promised her the same fate, yet somehow even back then she didnt fear he let harm come to her. "Your never going to love me again. How could after what they did." She had heard her whole life she was only worth that one thing to a man. Markus was very much a man who could havr anyonr why would he want some used as she was. "You should of let them kill me.... i wish they had killed me." She wanted out, she wanted to go back into hiding. She wiggled in his hold.
 
As she began wiggling in his hold Markus only held her tighter, refusing to let her go especially now that he knew that Joren Armand's men had forcefully taken her innocence from her. This saddened him deeply for many reasons but none of them the reason she thought. Slowly he moved her so she was sitting straight up in his lap looking directly in to her eyes as he spoke "You have love and that's all I've ever wanted. They took your virginity and that...That hurts me to know they did that to you but it isn't important to me. I love you and I want to love you more. To show you that not all men are alike" he whispered as he pulled her to him and kissed her passionately as his hands ran up and down her back carefully. This had been the first time he had ever initiated a kiss between them.

Several minutes had come and gone when he pulled away begrudgingly "Ella you're my world, my very reason for living. When I was on that bed getting healed a few days ago my body should've quit. I died twelve times as they operated on my wounds but every single time I fought to stay alive not for fame, not for this family, not even for myself... I fought for the one good thing in my life...You, I wanted to be with you, wanted to be able to hold you, kiss you and even someday make love to you, to show you that not all men are monsters and that even men as evil as myself...Can change...Please" he said looking at her "Please promise me you'll stay, that you won't try killing yourself after I fought to stay here for you..Promise me you'll never run away and that we'll love each other for eternity."
 
Ella wanted to leave, she didnt want here anymore. Markus wouldnt let her go, and as he shifted her her blue eyes locked with his. She flinched when he spoke og what they had done. "Please.... dont tell anyone." She begged. She didnt want anyone to know. She only told Markus because dhe needed him to know how worthless she was. She in no way exspected him to kiss her, and not with such love. It took her a moment to relax and kiss him back. When he broke the kisd she protested, his name slipped free lightly.

She looled at him as he spoke. Her eyes dropped to her lap when he asked for a promise to stay. "I... im scared. What if they come back? What if you leave?" Tears rolled down her cheeks. "I cant.... please dont leave me alone. I promise I wont, but please stay with me." She leaned forward and rested against him. She was so tired. She hadnt really slept in days, to scared they were coming for her. She also hadnt eaten and felt weak.
 
Markus knew that she was protesting knew that if he left her go she would be gone again and this time who knew where she'd end up or what she'd do to herself after the hell she had been through. It saddened him to know that he had failed her in every way. Markus hated being a failure and that's exactly how he felt as he watched her shiver with fear, after telling him that she'd been raped.

After the kiss was over he heard her talking knowing that she needed to hear the truth from him "They will never come back that I assure you. I'm going to make sure that every man or woman that ever worked for Joren Armand is killed, their fucking heads will line the driveway on pikes as decorations to show anyone who fucks with me what'll happen" he said taking a deep breath knowing he had to stay calm for Ella's sake "And I promise never to leave you alone and yes I will stay with you. Though I think you need to eat before getting some sleep you are weakened due to malnutrition and sleep deprived" he said looking at her finally loosening his grip on her. "So come let's eat and then we shall sleep with me protecting you even while you're sleeping."
