The Damsel and the Outlaw (MisaLaVan&Bigbadvoodoodaddy)

Markus was promising her safety, he promise to kill the men who had raped her. She was thankful he hadn asked for details. She hadnt even been able to tell the doctor. He lossen his grip and her blue eyes snapped toward his face. "You'll stay..." she said before giving a nod. She was careful as she slid from his lap. She let him lead the way, she walked close to him. Her body against his as she had a death grip on his hand. Everytime she heard a sound she was press closer into him they finally made it to the kitchen. She looked up at Markus. "I cant cook." She said softly. She knew Markus was a great cook. Thankfully she had started to relax,trusting Markus to keep her safe.
 
Markus smiled as he looked down at her "Yes I'll stay" he said honestly before watching her slide off of his lap. As Markus stood up he took her hand in his feeling how tight she gripped his hand. Walking to the kitchen was an achievement in itself since every single noise of the old house whether it be natural or man-made had her shoving herself into him for protection. Soon they made it to the kitchen and he looked down at her hearing what she said "Well eventually my love I'll teach you to cook but for now" he picked her up easily placing her on the counter next to where he'd be cooking. "I will cook for you" with that said he began gathering up ingredients so he could make her food.

~~A few minutes later~~

Markus had finished her something to eat, it was the same meal she had loved on her first day in the HQ as a friend instead of a prisoner. He remembered how much she had loved it then and he hoped by making it for her now she would be able to remember the good times they had, had instead of dwelling on the bad things that had happened. However, as he was looking for a plate to put the food on Razor walked in.

"Well, well, well I see that Markus has finally gotten you out of your shell Ella" Razor said smiling "I'm glad to see you up and about instead of being locked inside of your room...By the way what smells so good?"
 
Ella gasped when Markus picked her up to set her on the counter. Her hands rested on his and for a moment she enjoyed his touch. She offered him a shy smile as she watched to cook. They were alone and she found herself relaxing. As he looked for plates she was reaching out to steal a bite. However a vocie behind her made her jumped. She hit her hand on the hot dish and all but fell from the counter. "Markus." His name came out coated in fear as she reached her non-burned hand toward him. Her blue eyes toom in Razor and while she knew he wouldn't hurt her, she couldnt help her fear. Her body was tight as she pressed into Markus. The food long forgotten "I wanna go back to my room."
 
Razor watched as Ella ran over hiding herself inside of Markus body he wasn't sure what was going on maybe he should have announced he was entering the room since he had just randomly shown up and spoke "Hey Ell is everything alright you seem jumpier than usual... This is an exciting day you finally walk among the living again" he teased playfully.

Markus heard Ella's voice as she called out his name turning around with a plate in his hand he saw her running towards him and felt her pressing against him. Looking at Razor with anger in his eyes he kept himself calm as he plated the food quickly with her still attached to him. Holding the food in his right hand as well as a fork, his left arm went around her protectively "Alright let's go" he said walking with her through the house back to her room and once they entered the room he placed the plate and fork on the bedside table before pulling Ella into him once again "Don't worry baby you're alright" he said kissing her forehead. "I will never let you get hurt again I promise now eat your food or I'm gonna have to make you" he said teasingly.
 
Ella looled Razor from her spot beside Markus. Her blue eyes looked upward as Markus gave Razor a anger look. He was plateing her food and she didnt move or make a sound. She swallowed hard when Markus put his arm around her to lead feom the room. She didnt look at Razor as they passed by on their way out. They reason her room and she found herself still scared. She looked at Markus knowing he was the one person who could keep her safe. She moved to sit on her bed, giving him a soft smile. She took the fork with a shaky hand, taling a small bite. She smiled more as she looked at him. "Its so good." Her voice was shy. Ella would only be able to eat half the plate. Sitting on her bed she looked around. She was worried about the nightmares coming back. "I.... can you...." she didnt know how to ask him to hold her.
 
Markus smiled as they got back to her room and he could see just in the way she held herself that she was already starting to calm down as soon as they entered her room and the door was shut. After threatening to force feed her though he watched as she began eating her food on her own. "Good I'd hate to have to force feed you my beautiful Ella" with that said he moved across the room and went to sit on the bed right next to where she was. He watched her eat knowing she'd never eat the entire meal but eating at all was more than she had done in days so Markus felt accomplished.

Then she began speaking in fractured sentences and Markus was actually having a hard time keeping up with her. "Can I what my love? Do you want me to kiss you? Tuck you in? Cuddle and hold you" Markus was throwing out things that she might want he wasn't being sarcastic he honestly needed to know what she wanted so he knew how best to help her with what she wanted.
 
Ella was happy Marlus staied close to her. She blushed when he called her beautiful, she didnt feel that way with how brused she was. She finished what she could and tried her best to ask Markus to lay with her. However her nerves made it hard to get it out. He tried to help, but when he said she blushed deeply. She loved being kissed by him, and she would happily take a kiss whenever he offered. She smiled and nodded, all the things he listed she wanted. She took a deep breath tp help her relax before trying again. "Will you lay with me.... I... I cant sleep alone." Her voice was shy, like it was a shameful thing to ask for. She had shifted up her bed and was working her way back under the covers. "Markus.... what is the scariest thing to happeb to you?"
 
Markus watched Ella as he spoke to her not missing the blush that overcame her when he had called her beautiful. To him, no matter what shape she was in she would always be beautiful to him no matter what. As he began listing out the things that she might want he smiled as she began getting up her nerves and when she finally asked him to lay with her Markus nodded. "Of course I will" he laid down on his back before holding his arm out to her as if saying she could cuddle with him. "Come my love lay your head on my chest and I will hold you to me," he said happily. Soon he felt her moving under the covers before peaking out from under them. It caused him to chuckle "You reminded me of a turtle coming from its shell when you did that" he teased before placing his arm around her as he said he would. "The scariest thing that's ever happened to me...Shit you'll have to let me think about that there's been a lot" and as he said this he began thinking back to every scary incident that had ever happened to him trying to pinpoint the one that was his scariest of all time. It took a few moments but finally he spoke "I remember being a young boy. Probably around six or so a man had broke into our home and was beating my mother for being German. My papa came he was a very large man and the man who was beating my mom shot my papa but somehow it didn't phase him. With the gunshot in his side bleeding my papa ran at the man filled with rage and he began beating him. My mother tried to stop him but no matter what she did she couldn't stop my papa" he said remembering as if it were yesterday "My papa beat the man to death with his bare hands and then he turned I saw the look of hatred in his eyes as he said "Markus go get the wagons hitched. Afraid I did as I was asked and then helped my papa take the man out and bury him. A few months later though they found the body and also found out who had done it. Cops swarmed my home ten officers it took to wrestle him down and put him in two sets of cuffs he was taken outside and beaten with nightsticks until almost to the point of death while my mother and I watched helplessly they took him to court and proved his innocence but he was never the same again" Markus said honestly "My papa lost his fire and his will to live but he knew he had to be a father and so he continued on for multiple years before finally allowing himself to be taken by the icy hand of death."
 
Markus didnt even think about her question, sinply agreed. He laid in her bed with open arms. She was careful as she made her way into bed, getting under the covers. His chuckled words made her blush. Resting on her head on his cheast she pulled her arms to her chest. She was unsure if she would be aloud to touch him. She listened when he spoke of the scariest moment in his life. "I'm sorry that happened to you." She offered lightly. She laid there, head against his chest as she listened to his heartbeat. She could even think of the scriest moment of her life, not with out panic. "I...." her voice was a whisper as she spole. "I... love... you."
 
Mikhail smiled as he felt her head hitting his chest and then saw how she brought her arms to her chest. "You know I think it's fair that since I have my arm around you, you should be able to have yours around me if you'd like," he said teasingly with a smile. "It's alright I've come to realize that Germans or any other foreigners are considered different by Americans' it's one of the many reasons the Black Plague was founded so we could try to take this country by it's balls and show them that we're not taking shit any longer" he said looking down at her. "I love you too Ella... I love you more than words can describe" as he said this Mikhail laid his head back so where he was flat on the bed, silence surrounded them as he thought of what to do next.

"Be my girlfriend" Mikhail said after several moments "Please allow me that honor of being your boyfriend, loving you, taking care of you, protecting you" he said as his hand began rubbing up and down her back softly.
 
Blue eyes snap up toward him when he teased her. She let her hand find its way to his stomach. It took a few minute for her to relax again. "My family is german. My great great grandparents came over." She shared lightly. She blushed deeply when he said he loved her too. They laid there for a while Ella relaxed against him. Her eyes starting to close when he spoke again. His words made her heart race, and her body stiffen slightly. How could he want such a life with her, knowing what they had done to her. Her hand closed around his shirt and she pressed her face into his shirt. She slowly nodded. "Yes...." het voice was soft and she found she wanted to kiss him.
 
Markus smiled as he listened to Ella talking about how her family was from Germany and about her great, great grandparents had come from the motherland. "Ah that is something I did not know," Markus said honestly "My mother and father came from Germany my mother actually gave birth on the boat coming to America she gave birth to me when we hit American waters which makes me technically an American but I was raised, German. I speak German and English fluently" he said smiling at her happily. Then he just laid silently with her for several moments that was when he asked her about being his girlfriend.

Seeing that she was half asleep he didn't know if she had heard him or not but right when he thought she hadn't he heard her saying yes in a very soft voice "With your acceptance to my offer you have made me the happiest man alive" he said looking down at her "Would you mind if I kissed you right now. I am in dire need of your kiss my beautiful girlfriend."
 
Ella blushed deeply when he asked for a kiss. She gave a soft shy nod. Tilting her head upward she let him kiss her, though she happily kissed him back. After the kiss she found herself ready for a goodnight sleep. It was the first night it days she did not have nightmares. She slept all night and well into the morning. It was close to ten when she found herself waking. She rolled over and pressed her face into her pillow. The blanket pulled over her head as she tried to find sleep again. She didnt want to face the day. Sure shr had Markus now, but she had lost her dog and Razors good mare.
 
Markus smiled as he leaned down placing his hand on each side of Ella's face happily as he kissed her passionately allowing every ounce of his love to flow into the kiss that he shared with Ella. Even though they had kissed multiple times this was his favorite kiss of all time because this time she was actually his girlfriend now. Finally, after the kiss was over he smiled as he watched Ella situating herself against him again with her head on his chest. Slowly he wrapped his arm around her happily and fell asleep with her in his arms.

Normally Markus would wake up early and cook breakfast but today he couldn't the pain was so overbearing in his side and one of the wounds that had been stitched up had come undone and there was a small amount of blood on his shirt. Though Markus hadn't felt it as he stayed asleep with her in his arm because he slept more peacefully than he had since she had disappeared. Waking up slowly he saw that Ella was still asleep and he lightly moved only to feel a massive pain in his side looking down he saw the blood on his shirt and so he sat up on the side of the bed before removing his shirt only to find that one of his wounds had come unstitched and he was bleeding "Shit" he mumbled knowing that meant he'd need to be stitched again which would mean there would have to be people around Ella who wasn't ready for interaction with other's yet.
 
Ella felt Markus move, and was about to ask him to lay back down when he mumbled. She turned toward him and spotted his shirtless body. Her face grew hot until she saw the blood. Fear filled her at such a rate she had to suck in a deep hard breath. "M-markus..." she mumbled . Slowly she shifted and brushed her fingers against his side. "You need the doctor." Worry filled her face and she looked toward the door. She wasnt ready to see people, and not the doctor after last time. "I'll be okay.... here... I promise I'll just wait for you."
 
Markus looked over as he heard Ella waking up "Calm down my love I'll be alright it's nothing" he said looking at her but as he tried to move again it shot pain through him and he hissed through his teeth... Hearing her say he needed the doctor Markus looked at her "Fine I'll go see the doctor and get this stitched up I swear to you I'll be right back as soon I can" he said getting up to go find the resident club Doctor so where he could be restitched.

--A few moments later--

Razor had seen Markus going to get his stitches redone having obviously popped a stitch in his sleep. Not getting the hint of Ella being afraid of people right now he knocked slightly before entering her room "Hey Ell it was good to see you out and about yesterday night...What was the problem last night though" he asked curiously as he walked towards the bed not knowing how fearful Ella truly was right now.
 
Ella gave Markus a look when he told her to calm down. She couldnt help but worry about him. She cared so much about him. She offered him a smile when he agreed to go see the doctor. "I know you will. I'll just wait here." She watched him go. The momebt the door closed behind him she found herself in fear again. She sat in her warm spot and pulled the blanket round her. She was trying to keep calm when a knock came on her door. It was Razor who entered and Ella found herself scared. Sure she knew Razor would never hurt her, but she couldnt help it. She swallowed hard and looked around. She had nowhere to hide. She opened her mouth but nothing came out. The closer he got the more she felt the need to cry out. It wasnt until he was right in front of her that the tears started to flow down her face.
 
Razor smiled as he walked up and sat on the edge of the bed "Everyone has been so worried about you, you've become a legend in the HQ the woman who was able to bring happiness to Markus, the woman who was able to bring Widow and Tiny together. A woman who was able to strengthen the bond of this family" Razor said smiling as he placed his hand on her leg not knowing of the fear that it would cause Ella or the anger it would cause Markus.

Markus sat on the table wincing as the doctor stitched him back up the pain in his side where the bullet had penetrated his skin still hurt and while he wouldn't show his pain in front of Ella he wasn't afraid to show it in front of the doctor. "Fuck this hurts" he hissed.
 
She tried to listen to what he was saying, but she just couldn't. The moment he touched her she shot back and fell of the bed. "Please don't. " she cried as she crawled backwards "Markus... please...." she screamed as she hugged her body tight she kept screaming for Markus, asking Razor not to hurt her. She could even see right anymore and her head bagan to swim
 
Razor was shocked to see Ella acting the way she had, never would he even think about hurting Ella not even in the slightest and now she was yelling for Markus begging for Razor nor to hurt her... Everything caused his head to spin and so he stood upright as the door busted open.

Markus looked at his stomach now freshly stitched up he knew that he needed to play things safe instead of going gung-ho as he usually did. However, hearing Ella screaming had him jumping up and running towards her room, the door was shut and he burst through like a bad out of hell only to find Ella on the floor basically curling into a ball and Razor on the bed. "You son of a bitch" he yelled angrily running over to punch him in the face knocking him off the bed "I fucking told you to leave her alone," he said kicking Razor in the stomach... He didn't care about his own safety now it was all about protecting Ella, kicking Razor in the stomach once again sent the man falling back to the door where Widow and Tiny stood outside, seeing his head pop from the doorway they knew what they had to do.

Tiny and Widow grabbed Razor pulling him out of the door before shutting it behind them.

Markus walked over kneeling on the ground beside her "Hey" he said softly "You're alright I'm right here baby... I'm right here."
 
Ella was to lost in begging for help to know it was there. Her body was so stiff it hurt and she tired to sink more into herself. She heard someone come closer she didnt look to see who. "Please.... please dont hurt me. I just.... i just want to go home.... please Markus." She pulled away when Markus moved closer. She didnt know it was him. Her blue eyes peaked out looking for a way away from the man. "Please.... not again. I can't. " her lip was bleeding from the way she chewed on it as were her hands.
 
Markus looked at her sadly as she was so far gone she didn't even realize that it was him. Slowly he reached out taking her face in his hands "Ella, I am Markus" he whispered to her "Look at me and you will see" Markus said honestly as he pulled her to him very carefully "You're not in any danger not while I'm around I'm going to protect you no matter what."

Slowly he took a deep breath knowing that he had a lot of work ahead of him with Ella but he would be more than happy to work alongside with her to bring her back to the person she was before all this shit happened to her. But that didn't stop Markus either. The man loved Ella with every fiber of his being and that meant he would do anything to help her.
 
Ella shook her head and tried to pull away as someone took her face in their hands. Her bright blue eyes shot up and took in Markus for a good long moment. He pulled her close and she didn't fight, only kept her eyes on his face. He was promising she was safe, that he would keep her safe. She sat there in his arms, stiff as can be for a while before she started to relax. She rested against him for a long while before she talked. "He... Razor... He was just trying to be friendly.... He... He touched me. He didn't try anything, he just...." She knew Razor hadn't meant to freak her out, that he wouldn't try and hurt her. However she couldn't stop it. "You ripped your stitches again .... " She could feel the warm sticky of blood sinking into her nightgown.
 
Razor will be dealt with accordingly" Markus said honestly as looked at Ella honestly "I don't care if he meant to scare you or not because I personally told everyone to leave you alone" he said truthfully before hearing her say that he was bleeding again. Looking down he saw her nightgown was bloody and he cursed under his breath."Fuck not this shit again," Markus said smiling as he looked down at Ella. "I'm not leaving you alone again to get it stitched up," Markus said softly as he stood slightly with her in his arms carrying her over to the bed and placed her down carefully in it. Walking over to the dresser he placed two bullets onto the dresser. He knew what he was about to do would seem very extreme especially by Ella's standards but he was sick of dealing with being stitched up only for it to bust back open. Taking an old shirt he cut it up and wiped the blood from the edges the wound before also rubbing out the blood. With this done he took the massive knife and cut the tip of both bullets off before pouring the gunpowder from both bullets into the open wound on his side. With that, he reached for a box of matches in his back pocket and struck it lighting it as he placed the flame near the wound and the gunpowder lit up with a bright flash. Markus yelled in pain as he slapped his hand on the dresser over and over again for a few seconds as he hissed in a pained shaky breath. overtook The wound was completely cauterized now, the flesh seared closed by the heat of the fire with the powder accelerant. Taking a deep breath he groaned sitting up, his fingers of his right hand lightly touching the sensitive skin on his side. Crawling over to the bed he sat up next to Ella his hand placed on her knee... "I'm sorry you had to see that" he whispered softly "but it had to be done."
 
Ella looked at Markus, she worried what his words meant. "What do you mean?" She asked lightly. Though she didn't think he would really tell her. Worry rushed her body when he spoke of not leaving her. She watched him closely as he got up. Panic started to fill her. "Markus... Its okay. I'll be okay I promise." She didn't know what he was going to do, but she knew she wouldn't like it. "I'll go with you." She offered but by then it was to late. She let out a scream and her hands came up to her face to hide it. She could smell his not cauterized skin and it made her empty stomach turn. When she felt his hand on her skin her eyes shot open and she looked at him. "I could of come with you..." She said lightly. Fear clearly in her voice and in her eyes. It was few minutes of just sitting there. Her trying to wrap her head around what had just happen, and him trying to get past the pain. Her stomach grawled loudly and she place a bruised hand on it. "What are you going to do to Razor?" She asked again.
