Ripped Away And Apart

Kafli 7.

I just stare at him with tears in my eyes, is he going to hit me? What is happening? I am panicking and I feel like I am about to faint. Then before I could faint, he lifts me up and is carrying me bridal style out of the room. I bit down because my ribs scream out in pain but I could not hold back the tear running down my face. He stops and looks down at me, I don't look up at him and just close my eyes. His hand on my bare leg felt so good, even scared out of my mind of him, his touch is amazing! Wow I am starting to understand more Stockholm syndrome and why they stay with them….

He walks with me through his house then outside, I shiver a little to the air against my skin but he does nothing about it. He walks along the house then he turns behind the house and there is a small long building. Without any trouble he opens the door and walks inside, inside is this waiting room with people waiting but everyone stands up seeing him. He walks past everyone through the doors and there are a bunch of beds with people laying on them injured. Is he taking me to some clinic? He walks past them and turns to the right and there are a bunch of doors, he walks along the hallway to the fifth door. Inside he puts me on the medical bed and then he just stands there. We don't say anything, I just sit on the bed looking down at my fingers. 

“Alright Boss, I am here, what is the problem?” says an older woman in a white doctor's coat. 

She then looks up and her eyes widen up seeing me. I look away from her back to my fingers. 

“Who is this?” she asks. 

I don't see what is going on between them but after a little silence, she sighs heavily. 

“Alright sweetheart what can I do for you?” she asks standing in front of me. 

I don't answer her, I don't want her to touch me and I don't want to show her my injuries, I don't know her and I just want to leave. 

“Sweetheart?” she asks again. 

I look up at her. 

“You can help me leave” I say with a dead broken voice. 

Her eyes widen up and she bites her lip, looking nervous. 

“No, I meant do you have any injuries for me to look at?” She asks. 

“No” I say flatly. 

“Don't be ridiculous! Show her your focking injuries!” Max snaps behind her. 

I flinch and because of that I bite down from the pain from my ribs. 

“You are in pain! Will you just let her help you!” Max says angry, now looking threatening. 

I look up and past the doc to him. 

“I have been in pain since I got here! Let me go home and I will see my doctor! I am injured now because of you! I am in pain because of you! You kidnapped me!” I snap at him standing up from the bed. 

The doctor puts her hands on my shoulders holding me back from walking over to him, I don't look at her. I just look at him but he looks like what is saying means nothing! 

“Fine! You want to see? Fine then look at me! you p*****t!” I snap. 

I angrily take off my sweater and throw it on the ground, I know I was being dramatic but I am mad! The doctors face turns into a shock and she looks back at Max. 

“Did you do this to her?” she asks, shocked. 

Max looks away from me and in two steps she is thrown against the wall, him holding her neck.

“You dare accuse me of hurting her? You know how she is and I would never hurt her like that!” he growls at her. 

“Yeah this is too far but busting up my lip and jaw is nothing. What morals” I say angry reminding him that he slapped me. 

He has his back to me but I can see his hold on her neck lessen and then his hand drop, I see his head drop and the face of the doctor become shocked for like the millionth time since she came in here. 

“Link me when she is ready but don't leave her alone or with the door open, she will run away” he says in a low voice to the doctor. 

He leaves without looking at me. The doctor looks at me with such worry in her eyes but I just look away from her and sit back down on the bed. I don't know what is happening, one minute I am scared to the bone but the next I am yelling at my capture. The doctor did what she needed without saying a word but then she took some pictures of my ribs. 

“There will be about twenty minutes until these will be ready.. I will go and check on my other patients in the meantime. Just wait here until then” she says not looking at me. 

She leaves writing something on her clipboard, she just closes the door after her so after I count to about thirty. I put on my sweater again and then I run to the door ripping it up but there in the door frame is a huge man. He looks back at me and only shakes his head, I narrow my eyes at him but he just stands there. 

“Are you going to let me pass?” I ask, angry. 

He just shakes his head and I angrily slam the door in his face, I look around the room. There is a window but I could never reach it or climb out of it. I rub my temple, I am getting a headache from all this. Then I see the phone on the wall, I run to the phone and pick up the and there is a tone. I put in my father's number right away and while it is ringing I get a realisation. I can not tell him what is happening! He will drop everything and come here, wherever here is! If they are treating me like this I can only think what they will do to him if he finds me by some miracle! 

“Hello?” 

“Hey daddy!”I say with tears filling my eyes. 

“Omy god Anabella! Why have I not heard from you? Why has nobody heard from you?” he asks, angry. 

I laugh a little, it feels so good to hear someone talk Icelandic to me. 

“I am sorry daddy, it has been busy and I dropped my phone and a horse stepped on it. I have always planned on getting a new one or get to ring from my boss's phone but then we got these new horses and everything was crazy. I am sorry… Can you tell everyone back home that I am fine?” I ask, trying to sound fine. 

He laughs at me and I fill with hope hearing him laugh.

“Well you are a klutz and this will be the fifth phone only this year so I am not surprised. Yeah I will tell everyone but try to get another phone soon. Can I reach you on this phone?” 

In walks doc and when she sees me on the phone, I could see the panic in her face. 

“No I am sorry daddy but I will call soon again, I have to go. Take care and I love you” 

“Love you too bunny” 

I hang up the phone and walk to the bed, I don't say anything and she says nothing. Then after she has touched and pushed everything she needed to she nods her head. Then the guy walks in again and he makes a gesture for me to come and follow him. I stand up from the bed and walk out of the room but what meets me makes me feel very weird. There are people standing in a line on each side of the hallway. Everyone is looking at me and I feel like I am a soldier going on a suicide mission or something. The man walks in front of me and I follow him but I feel right away that someone is behind me walking as well but everyone else just stands still while I walk past them. When we come outside there is even more people and I am starting to feel very stupid. I look from one face to the next, I see the house entrance and there he is… Max's father, he is standing in the line between two women that are around his age I think but he has this smirk on his face and a shiver runs down my back. All of a sudden the man stops, I almost walk into him. 

“Okay, maybe warn me before you stop next” I say, taking a few steps back. 

He turns around and looks at me but then he bends down close to me and sniffs me. I lift up one eyebrow, is he insane? Is everyone here insane?

“You see the person that hurt you” he simply says. 

My eyes widen up and feel a stone in my stomach. Then Max comes out of the house storming like a man on a mission. He walks right up to me and sniffs me like the other man did, he nods his head and then he looks around. I don't know what he is looking for but then he looks at me with so much rage in his eyes. 

“Tell me how hurt you” he orders. 

“Let me go home” I only answer him. 

He looks away from me but then he grips my arms, waved his hand and the two men walk away. Max drags me forward and I look up at him but then I sigh and look forward but then I make eye contact with his father again and he smirks. I miss a step and I would have fallen right on my face if Max would not have been holding me. He stops and looks at me but I was not quick enough to look away from his father. He followed my gaze and then his face figured it out, he looks at me with such emotion in his eyes that I am taken a little back. His father then all of a sudden steps out of the line and walks towards us. I look away from Max and I look at him walking towards us with a big smirk on his face. I stand still and with my head tall, I will not have him win. He stopped a few steps away from us and crossed his hands over his chest, Max looks from me to him. 

“Did you do this to her?” he growls at him. 

“No, I have no idea what you are talking about” he spits out. 

Max growls a little, then he looks at me. 

“Did he hurt you?” 

I look at his father again, should I tell him?
