No Safe Haven

The echoes of gunfire filled the estate, a chilling reminder that danger had found its way to Mia's doorstep. Her hands were steady as she fired at the intruders, each shot precise. The enemy was relentless,but she refused to back down.

Victor was beside her, taking cover behind an overturned table.

"Mia, we have fall back! They've got more man than we anticipated."

Mia's breath come fast, but she nodded. "We need to hold them off until Alexander get back."

She had no doubt he was coming. He always did.

En Route to the Estate....

Alexander's car speed through the night, his knuckles white as he gripped the steering wheel.

Victor's voice crackled in his earpiece. "Alexander, we're under attack. They breached the outer perimeter."

Alexander's heart pounded. "How many?"

"Too many. Mia's fighting,but we're getting overwhelmed."

The thought of mia-pregnant,in the middle of a firefight- ignited a fire in his veins.

"Hold on. I'm almost there."

He pressed harder on the gas.

Inside the Estate....

Mia reloaded her weapon, her muscles aching. She could hear footsteps approaching- too many.

Victor cursed "They're inside."

Before Mia could respond, the door burst open, and a group of armed man stormed in.

She raised her gun,but one of them was faster. He struck her wrist, sending the weapon skidding across the floor. Pain shot up her arm,but she didn't stop fighting.she kicked, punched did everything she could-until rough hands grabbed her,pinning her arms.

"No!" She screamed, struggling against them.

The leader of the intruders stepped forward. He was tell, his face hidden beneath a mask. "We have her," he said into a radio."Move out."

Mia's eyes widened. They weren't here to kill her.

They were here to take her.

Before she could fight back, a cloth was pressed against her face. A sicky-sweet scent filled her lungs. Her vision blurred.

The last thing she heard was Victor shouting her name.

Then, darkness.

Alexander Arrives.....

The estate was in ruins, Bodies littered the ground. Smoke curled into the night sky.

Alexander barely took in the destruction- his only through was Mia.

He ran inside, calling her name.

No response.

His chest tightened.

Then he saw Victor, slumped against the will, blood dripping from his temple.

Alexander grabbed him. "Where's Mia?"

Victor groaned, barely conscious. "They....took her."

Alexander's word want still.

Then, fury exploded inside him.

Mia was gone.

And he would burn the world down to get her back.
