The Knight.

The silence was killing me. I got up and went to the bathroom, washing my face. Why did I just fucking say that?! I fed Canada and sat on the floor with her curled in my lap, licking my face.

I got up after a moment and followed her. I opened the bathroom door seeing it was cracked. "Anna.. I love you too.." I said softly. "Im sorry, I just have not heard those words in a long time. And it made me speechless to hear them again, and very, very happy.."

I gently took Canada off of me, and I got up, hugging Jay tightly. "Good.." I whispered.

I hugged her to me, and I kissed her neck softly. "Im sorry, I didnt mean to scare you." I said.

I closed my eyes. "It's okay." I whispered. I ran my fingers through his hair and sighed. "This is weird."

I furrowed my brows slightly. "What is weird?" I asked, rubbing her back slowly.

"Being with someone that actually loves me." I whispered. "Dustin was my first boyfriend. So that's all I've ever known. I'm just scared that we will end up the same way. Because Dustin was just like you at first.."

"Please dont be scared, I promise you I am nothing like him at all.. and I swear, if I ever see him.. hes going to get it.. but listen, I care about you and what he did to you was almost an inhuman thing to do. He's awful.. " I said.

"Yeah..." I whispered, looking up into his loving eyes. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him for a few moments. I pulled away and smiled. "I'm going to take a shower."

I nodded. "Alright." I said, and I kissed her nose before walking out, and shutting the door behind me. I headed downstairs and sat on the couch.

I took a quick shower and then sat on the couch next to him, resting my head on his shoulder.

"Should we tell the police that he is free? They should be looking for him better then they are." I said, and I looked up as I heard a knock onthe door.

I took a deep breath and looked at the door. "Get them on speed dial." I breathed. I slowly approached the door and put the extra lock on. "Who is it?" I called through the door.

"Shh.." I said, as I looked out the window.. it was my uncle, and a young guy.. I grabbed her arm and pulled her away from the door. "Hide. Go, now."

I swallowed hard and backed away, into the kitchen. I grabbed my largest knife and hit in the shadows, ready to strike if necessary.

I opened the door when I saw she was hidden, and my uncle chuckled, and so did his friend. "Dustin, meet your girlfriends new boyfriend." He said, and I glared at Dustin, and clenched my fists, and I punched him square in the face. "Fucker."
(Play Dustin?)

Dustin tackled him, his hands closing around his throat. "WHERE IS SHE?!" He screamed. I stepped out of shadows, holding the gleaming knife. "Get out Dustin." I said, my voice shaking.

I strugged against him, I couldnt breathe. I punched him again, and shoved him off me. "Run, dammit!" I yelled at Annabelle. It sounded harsh but I wanted her out of here and safe

"YOU SHUT UP!" I yelled at Jay. "This isn't your fight. I'm not running from him anymore." I started forward, my eyes darting between Dustin and Jay's uncle. "Baby Belle." Dustin whispered. My old nickname made me shudder. "I'm sorry. What I did to you all these years was wrong. I promise, I'ma changed man." I laughed. "Then why did you send this man to kill me?" "I was still mad!" I shook my head and pulled out a gun from behind me. "Your little friend left this at my house." I told Jay's uncle. "Kind of glad he did." I pointed the gun at Jay's uncle, my knife towards Dustin. "Jay, call the police."

I got up off the floor and threw her a glare, then I pulled my phone out and called the police. When they were on their way I hung up, and I shut the door so thwy had no where to go.

I watched as Dustin and Jay's uncle exchanged a short look, then Dustin lashed out and knocked knife out of my hand. At the same time, Jay's uncle tackled me. I shot out randomly, then I felt something sharp penetrate my side. Then the gun was knocked out of my hand. I had shot Dustin on the shoulder, and Jay's uncle had stabbed me in the side, the blade all the way inside.

"No!" I yelled, and I threw him off of her, and I immediately picked the gun up, and shot them both, each in the chest, and Iwatched as they fell to the ground, and I heard thecops bang on the door, and come in, I quickly knelt down by Annabelle and when I saw the knife, my whole life came crashing down. "Oh god.." I said, tears filling my eyes. "Ambulance now! We need one now! Please!" I yelled, picking her up into my arms as I was on my knees.

My breathing came out in short, pants. "D-Don't take the k-knife out.. I'll j-just b-bleed out f-faster." I stammered. My body was in shock, so I didn't feel much pain. I closed my eyes, my teeth gritted as I groaned lowly. I heard the door open and I felt myself get lifted onto a stretcher and rushed out the door.

I had taken med classes, and I knew to not take it out, I was freaking out. Just flat out terrified.. they loaded me and her on the ambulance, and Dustin in the other. My uncle confirmed dead. I held her hand, and I watched as they puta breathing tube in her.

I was trying desperately not to black out. I couldn't let myself die... I don't want to leave Jay. I was rushed to the hospital, and they wouldn't let Jay in the room with me. They pulled the knife out and I cried out in pain as they desperately tried to stop the bleeding.

Security had to hold me back as I tried to get into the room after I heard her cry out in pain. "Let me go!" They had me sit down against the wall, and kept me there, keeping a close eye on me.

During the operation, I saw a lot of my own blood. "She's losing a lot of blood." I heard a nurse say. My vision slowly began to get fuzzy, and then I blacked out into darkness.

I heard a very very uncomfortable long beep.. "We are losing her!" I heard someone yell, and I heard them struggling in therex I held my head in my.hands and began to sob quietly to myself.. shes gone..

Everything was dark and silent. I felt no more pain. I felt... Light. Like I was flooding. "Annabelle...." I heard a soft voice. It was Jay's. I tried to speak, but couldn't. He kept repeating my name. My vision gradually began to come back and I was suddenly knocked back into reality. I couldn't breathe. My eyes shot open and I gasped for air. My heart monitor began to beep again. The doctor's sighed in relief.

They had let me into the room.. to say my goodbyes.. "Annabelle.. no.. please... Annabelle..." I said, and I took her hand, and I felt.more tears come to my eyes, intense sadness.. "Please.. wake up.." I begged. And I heard her gasp for air , and I looked up, seeing her eyes open, and her coughing. "Holy shit Ana.." I said, and I touched her face softly. "Look at me, are yiu okay? Say something.."
