One day later.

I'm in so much pain, my legs, my arms, my stomach and ribs are all throbbing because of Jace. The only i'm i got to do anything else then training was a tea, breakfast, lunch and when i went to bed! but today is the day we stop my father once and for all. It makes me wonder why the hell my father is going though all this trouble to just kill me for what? Killing my alive mother? doesn't he know that she is alive?

I'm not going to lie, i'm terrified of whats going to happen. Am i going to die? Will he? Will be hurt the people that i love? Will we die together? I don't know whats going to happen but i know that i have to do this no matter what.

"Astrid honey? you ready" My mother said from behind me as Andrew jogged up beside me. I know that he is scared for his and my life and the fact that i'm going against a fifty two year old man.

"Baby you know you don't have to go threw with this? you can back out now and we can move to Australia or something and he won't find you! I promise" Andrews voice was ragged and he sounded like he hasn't slept in days.

"Andrew" I face him taking his hands in my own "I love you so much, but i have to do this or my whole life i'm going to be waiting for someone to come and hurt us" I kiss his cheek. "I have to do this" I let him go and walk off with my mother, not saying a word.

"Mum, can i ask you a big favor?" i stop half way towards the car.

"Yes my darling" She says as she moves a strand of lose hair and tucks it behind my ear.

"Can you get some of your men to get Andrew and and lock him in one of the steel door rooms, with no windows?" I plead my mother as she looks down at me as if she knew that i was going to ask and nodded towards Andrew, making three guards grab Andrew arms and legs and dragging him inside.

"Astrid! No let go of me you you fucking bastards!" he screams and starts kicking out his legs and i look away as he kept yelling out my name telling me that he can't leave me for what could be the last time i ever see him. I love him so much and I'm afraid of what will happen if i win this. Will we go back to school and finish off the next year? Will we leave and not come back? Will me and Andrew not be together anymore? All of these possibilities, made my heart ache and i bit the inside of my cheek to stop myself from crying.

I couldn't hear Andrews screams anymore as i hopped into the big black van. "Here is a knife and a gun to keep yourself protected just in case he decides to have any weapons on himself" Jace hands me a fully loaded gun and told me how i was supposed to use it and how to put of and take off the safety. He also gave me a couple of pocket knifes that i sat in my bra and my shoe. "Your all set" he nodded at me and talked to my mother the rest of the way.

"Okay we are two blocks away from the house, lets go over the plan again" My mother spoke up in a loud voice. "Okay you, you, you, you and you remember you are hiding in the back. and you, you, you and you are inside the house with my daughter, and you, you, you and i are in the front and bob over there is the get away man!" my mother pointed at the man in the front driving the van, and i recognize the man to be the one that tried to sexually assault me that time. Asshole.

"Okay! we need to roll" Jace said.

"Are you ready sweat heart?" My mother caressed my cheek, making me breath in her sent one last time, she smelt of bubblegum and roses. I keep saying one last time as if i am going to die, but i don't know if i will or not so i need to start thinking positive.

"Yeah i'm ready" I nod, reassuring myself.

"Okay bob stop just here, we don't want to stop right in front of the house it will definitely give us away" my mother rolled her eyes. "Sweet heart i love you" She said before, Jace pushes open the back of the van and we all stumble of the big black van and everyone got into position as i waited inside the van for my queue.

"I can do this, i can do this, i can do this" I whisper to my self as i squeeze my eyes closed tightly.

"Astrid, do you copy?" The radio i had in my hand, sang out.

taking a deep breath "Yeah i copy" my voice cracks.

"We have spotted your father, he is parking in the drive way" My mother speaks. "Its time for you to go now, and just remember that he probably already knows your here" she stops and i felt a shiver go down my spine, as she said that. Creepy.

Getting out of the van, i felt my heart beat fall out my chest. Jogging till i was standing in front of my house, looking around i notice that i can't see anyone at all, they are really good at hiding. i think Jace is inside, which made me feel a lot better. "Here goes nothing" I whisper. walking to the front door and hear laughing inside and see my fathers bedroom light turn on.

I turn the door nob slowly and cringe when the door squeaks ever so slightly. Grabbing the knife out of my bra and popping the blade out and holding it in my hand as i shut the door and to my surprise it didn't squeak. Looking around the house i notice one of the men standing in the lounge room in the hidden corner near the TV. How did my father not see him? or maybe he did.

I hear laughing from upstairs get louder and hear a thud as someone was coming down the stairs. Panicking I ran towards the kitchen and hid between the gap between the fridge and the wall. The thumping stopped and i heard a grunt, what the? Squeezing out of the gap, i walk towards the stairs to where the thumping came from and the grunt to find one of my fathers friends passed out cold on the ground, with a knife stabbed threw his head.

Looking around, I spot Jace standing close by. He nodded at the stairs and we both slowly headed up the stairs "I'm going to go check on Brandon and make sure he hasn't fallen down the stairs again. A man laughed and we heard his foot steps coming out of my fathers room. "Come on" Jace grabbed my arm and pulled me along with him, hiding in the room that was mine.

"There is someone in the house!" The man yelled as he ran up the stairs. "Brandon's dead!" Shit we are so dead!
