Bang!

I directed Abigail to bed so she could get some rest. I stayed up looking at her to make sure she was alright. Some moments later I heard a door opening downstairs and I wondered if we hadn't endured enough tonight. I did not get up immediately but stood silent listening to the noise coming from downstairs. It was at the moment I heard voices that I really took action.

"Abigail get up" I said shaking her. I covered her mouth in case she was to make unnecessary noise that would alert our visitors. She looked at me and I carried her off the bed silently. My dog cried right next to us and I instructed Abigail to hold him. My thoughts were racing because I knew if they came upstairs and found us awake it would be a disaster. "Babe" Abigail whispered. I looked at her tired eyes and pain filled my heart. What was I going to do? I wanted no harm to come to her.

The noise faded as if they were leaving and then I heard a strangler. He called out to the rest downstairs and if I counted the different voices I heard, there were about 5 of them. My dog cried and I heard one of them say, "What was that?" I had never been so terrified in my life I instructed Abigail to hide in the closet. The door creaked as they opened it slowly and I just sat behind my bed. The light went on and controlled my breathing not to alarm anyone. They are going to find me I thought but it seemed as if they were not interested. They exited the room and I wondered why they would just leave.

"Gotcha!" one of them shouted. He had stayed behind silent as the others left and had the element of surprise. The others quickly rushed in and they manhandled me, directing me downstairs. I had counted a good 6 of them and they held me in the kitchen. 5 men and 1 woman was the team. 2 men held my arms while one tied my legs. "What were you doing hiding up there?" one spoke. He seemed to be the leader of the team and I gave no response. I took another look at them and they were 5. "Hey boss look what I found" a man said and he held Abigail's arm. He had already bruised her. Blood dropping from her head she looked frightened.

"What a cutie" the boss said. "Is she yours?" he smiled. He stroked her hair and looked me in the eyes. His smile grew wider as seconds passed and the rest of the team started laughing. I looked around in confusion and the boss said "Now I'll make you watch." He swiftly grabbed Abigail from the other man and pushed her against the kitchen counter. He then bent her over and held her head against the counter. Adrenaline rushed through my body and I couldn't stay still. He pulled her pants down revealing her underwear and I swear my heart skipped a beat. The two men who held my arms had guns strapped to their legs but I knew if I tried it they'd kill me. They held me in a way where my legs when on the ground while my torso wasn't. He pulled down her panties and then my heart dropped. I had no idea what to do about the people holding me. He pulled down his pants and forcefully inserted his penis into Abigail. I heard her scream and it pierced my heart and the anger built up. Her high pitched scream made my ears ring and something inside me broke. My demons were getting out of their cage. The boss saw the sudden change of emotion on my face as I got angrier.

I reached down to the ground and managed to get off their grip. When my torso touched the ground I twisted immediately, grabbed the guys of the squatted men strapped to their legs. I fired twice at their chest and they fell. I sat up and looked the third man holding my legs in the eyes and shot through his skull. I laid back down and shot the forth man who was just standing there. When I got up the woman on the other side of the counter shot my arm but I dismissed the pain pretty quickly. A bullet maid its way between her eyes and it was just me and the boss. He had no weapons and slowly walked backwards with his arms in the air.

"Whoa" he said. "What was that?" he asked as he looked around the room at the corpses of his dead friends. I pointed my gun at the woman who lay dead on the ground and asked "Was she yours ?" Abigail got up and cried on my shoulder while I pointed a gun at the boss. "Relax" he said. I could hear the fear in his voice and watched his body tremble. "OK" I said and fired the gun one last time.
