"Me and you are going to take a little walk and then we're going to get the hell off this island. You'll like that won't you. A little whore like you gets off on being told what to do. Who knew all I had to do to make you want me was to fucking kidnap you. I would have done it back in high school if I had only known. But I know now, don't I, Ariel?"

I don't say anything. There is no way in hell I'm going off this island and not have a chance of ever being found again. He can just fuck right off.

"Come here, bitch!" He shouts it at me but my feet don't move any closer to him. Instead, I back up even further. "Come here!"

I see the threat in his eyes. If he can't have me he'll make it so no one can but it still doesn't make me break and go to him. He's about to aim the gun when a flurry of movement causes me to stop backing up. Auggie kicks out and the gun goes flying through the air landing in the pool. For half a crazy second I think about going in after it but Auggie's voice snaps me back to reason.

"Get in the house, little one."

His voice is like a balm to my poor ears after all the shit Andy was saying to me. He calls me little one and baby while Andy calls me whore and bitch. Gee, which one should I choose said in my best smart assed tone. I turn and run for the house, shutting the door behind me once I am inside. The best thing I can do for Auggie is to show him I am somewhere safe and don't need to be worried over.

"You took long enough." When I turn back around Auggie and Andy are facing off. Andy's already pulled out a knife that he must have been hiding somewhere on his body. "I would think with Daddy's resources you would've been here yesterday but no. Guess something held dear old dad up, huh?"

I don't have a clue what Auggie is talking about but I strain my ears to try to hear more. I might be safe locked inside the house like Auggie wants me to be but that doesn't mean I don't want to find out what the hell is happening outside the window. Thankfully the door is made of is glass so I can slide down behind the arm of the couch and still see what is going on.

I see Auggie circling Andy, keeping him off balance. "You shouldn't have come to my home and try to take what belongs to me."

"Fuck you! Ariel is mine! I marked her for me back senior year and I'm not taking no for an answer any longer. She comes with me and no one has to get hurt."

Auggie laughs and something crosses his face. It's a look that tells whoever is watching that this man is not just comfortable with death - he is death. It's hot as hell but I know now is not the time. "Come and take her from me."

I can't keep track of the movements over the next five minutes but it ends with me hiding my face in the couch cushions when Auggie finishes Andy by snapping his neck with his bare hands. I won't ever have to worry about Andy bothering me again. I won't have to worry about anyone bothering me as long as I have my Auggie protecting me.
