'No, this cannot happen to me,' Amara thought. 'I will not let this happen. I will fight them.'
With determination Amara threw a punch at Caiden aiming for his nose which caused him to slacken his steel grip on her and released Amara allowing her to fall on the hard floor bruising her rear.
Hurriedly she stood up and turned to face Caiden who was nursing his aching nose. She kicked him in his genital area and ran towards the door.
Her heels slowing her down in her escape making her stumble but she held herself in time. She was half way across the room, her destination two feet away, she reached out her hand to grab the door knob but before she could even touch it she felt someone get hold of her arm and tug her back onto a hard chest knocking the breath out of Amara. She realized it was Rick holding her because she could hear Caiden's groans of pain from inside her bedroom.
