So out of place, like a blooming rose in a field of wilted weeds. Everything is in black and white except her. He is the brightest most beautiful thing in the room. Her eyes are wide and full of fear and her mouth is moving as if she is trying to tell me something, but I can’t hear her beautiful angelic voice in this deafening silence

Pain erupts across the back of my skull and I sink even lower, having to hold myself up with my hands now. My eyelids are so heavy, but I don’t want to stop looking at her. I force my eyes to stay open even when my entire body wants to shut down.

Sophie is trying to come closer, to get through the crowd, but people around her are going crazy. Some guys pushes her out of the way, and she stumbles into another who pushes her to the other side, almost making her fall.

Something inside me churns…it's like a fire has been lit deep in my belly. Nobody fucks with what is mine. Anger floods my system, fueling every single cell in my body to wake up.

In an instant, the fog surrounding my head is lifted, all my senses return to me. Adrenaline courses through my veins like lava spewing from a volcano. My muscles ache and are tight with tension but I grit my teeth, somehow finding the strength to stand.

I glance at Sophie's angelic face one last time before I spring into motion. I can't let her down. I can't let her watch me die.

I move without thought. I’m on my opponent in a second flat throwing my clenched fist at his face. I’m a bull in a china shop, one red flag away from losing complete control.

I hit his jaw, watching as his head snaps back. He gives me a bewildered look before my other fist makes contact with his face. My punches are furious, precise and powerful. My intentions are to kill, and I'll be damned if I don't follow through.

He stumbles back and crosses his arms over his head. I punch him in the gut, and he crouches in front of me, his body absorbing the hit. I don’t have fucking time for this. I’m done playing with my food. I’m going to make an example out of this prick.

I step around him before he can straighten up again. I take his head into my hand and grab his jaw from behind, the I twist as hard as I can.

I can’t hear it, but I can feel his neck break underneath my hands. The sounds vibrating through my body. I release my hold on him and his heavy lifeless body falls to the floor in front of me. My entire body is burning with aggression and adrenaline, I could kill a hundred more people right now without a second thought. But I have a more important mission now... I need to find Sophie, to make sure she is okay.

I curse Ivan to hell as I scan the room, looking in the spot where I saw her last. The crowd erupts around me, making it hard to see. People are screaming, shouting, and pushing each other. Fights break out within the crowd all the time and it’s the last thing I need when I have no idea where she is.

As I scan the crowd again, I see Mac and Devin making their way over to me, pushing through the sea of people. My eyes move over every person before me and then I see her…her small body being pushed around by the crowd. Panic and fear consume her features. She is completely helpless and far too weak to fight all these people off or get through on her own.

Knowing this I jump over the ropes and into the crowd. I can feel the blood dripping down my face, the aching and fatigue in my muscles but I push forward. I have to save her...like she saved me.

I punch out two guys before the rest of the crowd just parts moving the fuck out of my way...and then they do, everybody runs away from me…one look at me and they back up.

As soon as enough people have stepped away to make room, she runs to me. Her arms fly around my torso and she buries her face into my sweaty chest.

I wrap my arms around her and hold her as tight as I can without squishing her. Lowering my head, I press my face into her hair and breathe her in. Her sweet floral scent fills my nostrils making me forget everything and everyone around me. Silence surrounds me. I feel nothing but the warmth of her body seeping into mine.

The raging storm I’ve been battling the last two weeks calms and I feel like for once I can breathe again.
