Distant gun shots filled Annie's ears. Her fear surrounded her as she curled herself up further. Her hands were hovering over her face as she held and her legs stayed protecting her stomach. Her body bleeding and broken from Xavier's attacks just moments prior. Annie was confused, unsure what was happening or what would happen to her.

"Get up!" Xavier demanded, grabbing one of her clenched hands and yanking her to her knees. Annie whimpered as her knees landed hard on her knee caps. Annie bit her toungue as she surpressed her cry of agony. Xavier didn't wait for her to be standing, instead he began to storm out of the hall, dragging Annie behind him. Annie's hand ached where he gripped, she was sure he would leave bruises.

Xavier dragged Annie up many flights of stairs until they reached his office on the top floor. As soon as he closed the door behind him, Xavier threw Annie to the corner of the room. She landed in a messy pile. "Stay there." Xavier barely looked at Annie as he spo

    Alexander stood frozen, he hadn't expected to find her like this. Annie was being used as a human shield it seemed, Xavier had the right idea, Alexander couldn't fault him there. He knew Xavier's reputation of being a complete asshole, "Let her go!" Alexander demanded, aiming his gun at Xavier. Alexander wasn't sure he was a good enough shot to shoot Xavier without risking Annie's safety. "Do you really think you are in any position to make demnds?" Xavier asked, grabbing Annie tighter, her eyes widened as she clawed at Xavier's hand, her cheeks turning red. "This is between you and me," Alexander reminded, "What does that girl help you with? You've got enough of them here." Alexander tried to sound indifferent to whether or not she lived or died. However, he wasn't sure it was working. He had given himself away just by being here now, by not just shooting now he had Xavier in his sights. "Alex, I know you love her," Xavier chuckled at Alexander's act. "Now what should I do with h

    "I want to go home," Annie said, sitting down in Alexander's office chair. Alexander looks up from his computer screen which had previously been captivating his attention. As Alexander studied Annie's still bruised face that still punched his heart. He couldn't help but feel that he had failed her. He had let Annie go free, only for her to immediately been captured again once again. Alexander knew that he seemed weaker to his rivals, but his relationship with Annie was now going to be used against him. Xavier was dead now, that should reassure him, but it didn't and Annie's brusied and broken body was not helping ease him at all. "You can't." Alexander leaned forward. "You just can't Annie." "Why?" Annie asked, "Are you holding me prisoner again?" Annie felt trapped. Once again she was to be locked away with Alexander, he might be nicer than Xavier but she was tired of being held prisoner by other people. She couldn't stand to be controlled. She at least needed the normality of her

Part of her still feared that Cindy wouldn't feel the same way, but that was a reality she was prepared for. "Don't you have work soon?" Annie asked as she lesurely put her suger in her coffee.

Alexander called, Kaylee smiled as she opened the door and sat down in the chair oposite him. It was the exact same seat as Annie had sat in just the week before when Kaylee had been listening in on their conversation. Ever since she's bee watching people move Annie's stuff in with Alexander.

It wasn't long before there was a knock on Annie's door. "Come in!" Annie called. The door slowly slided open, revealing Kaylee who had an apologetic smile on her face. "Hi," Kaylee said, sheepishly looking down at the ground. This was her first time having a one on one conversation with Annie, it was taking all of her willpower to control her blazing anger, Kaylee hadn't gotten very far with her plan so far, so she had to try a new tactic which meant talking to Annie herself.

    Annie woke up alone in her bed, just as she had fallen asleep. Last night as Annie and Alexander went their separate ways Annie couldn’t help but wish they had been going to bed together. She could only imagine how wonderful it would be to wake up next to him, but she knew that would send him the wrong message. Annie wasn’t going to jump into this relationship, she wanted them to last and be a happy couple. She wanted others to look at Annie and Alexander and be jealous, or think that that’s what they aspire to be with their partners. Annie had always dreamed of being apart of an ‘it’ couple and soon she hopefully would be, she knew that would only happen with time. Annie rolled over in her bed and sent a text to all her friends. The time difference meant it was unlikely that anybody would be up, but she hoped they’d reply when they woke up. She did miss her friends from back home, but she would be lying if she said she didn’t like the break this allowed her to have. She liked that i

    Alexander stood breathless as a nervous Annie walked down the stairs. Alexander had only been a few minutes before Annie, but he was glad he got to see her like this. Part of him waished he had suggested that they had stayed in tonight rather than go out, another larger part of him was glad he got to show Annie off. He was amazed that he would get such a beautiful woman on his arm. The part of him that wished to keep Annie locked up was ignored as he took Annie's hand. "You look stunning," Alexander almost gasped. Annie's cheeks turned the colour of blood when she blushed at Alexander's comment. "Absolutely georgous." Alexander smiled oh so charmingly at Annie and her heart couldn't help but skip. "Thank you." Annie hestitated, feeling awkward and unsure how to continue. "You look incredible." Alexander ssmiled towards Annie, his eyes seeming to twinkle with the love and joy he felt as he gazed at her. The two stood, silently admiring each other. The two had no idea how their night

    Annie and Alexander slowly settled into their seprate rooms at the villa. Alexander had offered to share a room with Annie, he even had hpoped that she would want to, but she of course said no. Annie spent hours unpcking and praying that she would have anything she needed. Annie had never been on a holiday abrord before and felt like no matter what she did, she would always be underprepared. Annie had finally unpacked hours later and decided to call Kaylee back at home before she went to dinner with Alexander. Annie and Alexander decided they would have a real conversation that night at dinner. They both hoped that their conversation would bring them closer together and that it would mean that they could finally begin a relationship together. "Kaylee!" Annie squeeled when Kaylee answered the call. It was just an ordanary call which Kaylee was glad about. She knew it was late back home where Kaylee had been waiting for her call. Kaylee would never admit it to Annie, but she didn't mi

    Back at home Kaylee was waiting for Annie’s call to tell her everything about just how terrible the flight was. As Kaylee waited she decided she would need to do some damage control with those around her, especially Mason as he was the only one she believed would ever really be on her side. Luckily, living with him gave her the best opportunity to talk to him. He was still out while Kaylee waited for Annie’s call, but she knew he would be back soon. It was hours before Mason came home, when he came home Kaylee had yet to receive a call from Annie. She was beginning to worry that maybe Annie didn’t consider them as close as she thought. She quickly washed that thought away because there were ways to fix that and Kaylee would do whatever it took. Kaylee didn’t want Annie to have anyone left and it was important to her plan that Annie felt isolated. For now Kaylee would work on her friendship with Mason. “Hey Kay,” Mason smiled at her as he walked into the living rooms where Kaylee was

    Annie and Alexander'd car ride was tense and awkward. Annie had barely managed to pack before Alexander appeared telling her it was time to leave. Annie was immediately infuriated, he was always telling her what to do, always the one in control, making plans for her rather than with her. The very fact that he assumed he could order her about frustrated her even more. She hated that everybody else seemed tio be on his side, always backing him up. Annie tried to call Rebecca before she left, she was one of the only ones that would maybe support her rather than blindly following Alexander's lead, but she didn't pick up. Annie was starting to feel pretty helpless. She realised that there was no where she could really go to get away from Alexander if she ever wanted to. Everyone lived in his back pockets. The thoughts depressed her just as much as they scared her. Annie spent the whole drive slowly stewing and thinking of a way that she could confront Alexander with her thoughts and feelin

    Annie guided Kaylee towards her room even though the effort was unnecessary. Kaylee had been to Annie’s room before and so the girls quickly found their way there. When the door was safely shut Kaylee let out a sigh of relief. “My god they hate me!” Kaylee cried. Annie shook her head. “They are definitely on edge, I can’t believe they thought that I would do anything!” Kaylee was outraged at their implications. She hated being suspected and if anything that would make it much harder to complete her end goal. It seemed the universe wasn’t on her side. She knew she would need to isolate Annie from her friends but now it was more vital than ever. “I mean I can’t blame them,” Annie defended. With what had happened she couldn’t imagine her friends being laid back about the whole situation. Annie knew that this was a huge problem, it meant somebody knew where Alexander lived. She wasn’t sure it was a targeted attack, but it was certainly cause for concern. Annie assumed that nothing like

    Everybody was surprised to see Kaylee arrive at Alexander’s house. They were all on high alert and Kaylee’s unexpected arrival made her instantly a suspect. Kaylee had been expecting this, but the accusation on their faces made her feel hurt. Even though she was the culprit she was hurt to find they really would suspect her if she gave them any small reason to. Only Mason seemed understanding and happy to see her. Their friendship was something she knew she wanted to nurture and she hoped that it would become a real friendship, it already felt like one. She hated lying to him but after their conversation earlier she realised it would be a mistake to tell him the true. “What are you doing here?” Cindy demanded, standing between Kaylee and the stairs. Kaylee frowned, Annie wasn’t downstairs which would have been the most helpful thing right now. Kaylee already had her answers ready but she made sure she looked truly shocked and slightly scared, she hoped she had pulled it off before sh

    Annie immediately rushed to her bedroom under the pretence of excitement. Instead she was rushing to call Kaylee and get some answers. Everybody would not look so grave and secretive over some silly holiday, she wondered how Alexander thought it would be an appropriate time to take a holiday. For weeks it had seemed that Alexander could not spare a few minutes of the day, he had barely even slept, and now he was proposing a holiday. Annie wanted some answers but it seemed that nobody was willing to give her any. Annie had hope that Kaylee would be different, so far Kaylee had been open and honest in Annie’s mind. They had started to grow a friendship and Annie hoped that would mean Kaylee would tell her what the hell was going on. Kaylee had less loyalty to Alexander is what Annie assumed, it’s one of the things that made Kaylee so easy to talk to. Kaylee hadn’t been working for him for years and so Annie hoped this would make Kaylee even more likely to spill the beans. As soon as An

    Annie woke up to Kaylee’s phone call and was instantly on edge. Kaylee refused to tell her what was going on, it was the second call in under a month that left her feeling uneasy and on edge. The last one had made no sense but at least this time she knew who had been calling her. Annie had never been great at waiting, nor being in the dark. Annie had lived a sheltered life which meant she knew very little about the world around her. Annie knew even less about the darkness of Alexander’s world and so this new feeling of fear was unknown to her. In her head everything was safe until now when it seemed everything fell apart. Annie stormed to Alexander’s office only to see everybody there. Instantly she knew something was wrong. She had yet to go downstairs to discover the artwork that somebody had thought the walls needed to be complete. “What is going on?” Annie demanded, she was sick of being treated like a child who needed to be protected from everything. “Nothing.” Everyone said.
