A strawberry blonde man came in and wrapped one arm around the blonde man's neck and one around his waist as he pulled him back. A warm hand on her shoulder shook her gently and she finally noticed her father who looked scared.
"Vicky, are you okay?" He asked quietly. She realized now that she had been rescued from this hell hole and didn't want the blonde to get in any more trouble than he was already in. She spun to her purse where she had put her tazer and pulled it free. Getting to her feet she thrust it into her saviors abdomen as she hit the trigger.
His black eyes turned a light blueish green and a sad look filled them. "C-c-can we go now?" She whimpered quietly, still shaking from the whole ordeal.
"Yes." The strawberry blonde said as his hold loosened. "Adrian, take your sister to the truck." He ordered and let go of Adrian.
"Yeah that seems like a good idea." He muttered as she grabbed the smallest of the suitcases and rushed out of the house. Adrian took down the tailgate of the bed and shoved her suitcase in as she stood close to him for protection. He put an arm around her shoulders and they got in the back seat. It was only then that she allowed herself to cry in relief.
"I was so scared!" She wailed as Adrian pulled her close to comfort her.
"Shhhhh, it's okay now. You're safe. They won't hurt you again." He said softly as he rubbed her back. It was strangely comforting and Victoria was relieved when he kept his hand on her upper back instead of sending it down to her ass. But he wasn't Mathew. She felt safe and protected with him here, like nothing could possibly hurt her. While she couldn't explain the feeling she didn't want to fight it. It was the first time in five years that she felt safe.
It didn't take long for her father and the other man to come out of the house and put all her things in the bed of the truck. She was still crying like a baby when her father finished his shouting match with Ruth and got in on the passenger side. "Unfucking believable." He hissed under his breath as the truck backed out of the drive and turned onto the road.
"We need to talk Adrian." The strawberry blonde said coldly as he pulled onto the main highway.
"About what, dad?" Adrian sighed.
"What the fuck happened?"
"I went to help her with her bags and heard him say, quote 'I'm going to finish what I started. Stop struggling and you may enjoy it'. That's when I broke the door down and saw him strangling her while he tried to push up her skirt. Everything goes black after that."
"Fuck." the man hissed exasperatedly.
"Victoria. I need to know the truth. Did he attack you?" Andrew asked as he turned in his seat. She nodded into Adrian's chest. "Before he attacked you in your room did he attack?" Again she nodded and felt the car lurch to a stop. "Is that the reason they wanted you to leave?" Again she nodded.
"So they called you to come get her because that bastard tried to rape her? It doesn't make any sense. why would that cunt lye about it to you?"
"Did you tell Ruth the truth about him attacking you?" Again all she did was nod. "Why would she say that you are on drugs, drinking and sleeping around?"
"They didn't believe me! Why didn't they believe me?" She wailed. Adrian pulled her into his lap and wrapped his strong arms around as she sobbed on his shoulder.
"It's okay. just cry it out little sis. You're safe now." He said soothingly.
"Adrian repeat after me. Vicky does drugs." Her dad said.
"Vicky does not do drugs." Adrian stated bluntly.
"Vicky drinks and sleeps around."
"Vicky does not drink or sleep around." Adrian said.
"So she lied about about everything!" her father snapped angrily as he sat back in his seat and they drove for two hours. When she finally finished cry she noticed how tense the atmosphere was.
"Hey baby I know you wanted to introduce everyone but in all the chaos you forgot. Why don't we do it now?" Adrian's dad said with a fake smile.
"Right. Vicky this is Derik. He's my mate. And that is Adrian, our....his son." He cleared his throat and continued. "Adrian, Derik this is my daughter, Victoria."
"It's nice to meet you Victoria." Derik said from the front seat.
"Please call me Vicky." She said with a forced smile.
"Okay, Vicky." Adrian said. "Do you mind me asking why you tazed me? Not that it hurt but inquiring minds and all that."
"I don't think it's right for you to go to prison for doing the right thing." She said meekly.
"Sooooo..... Why not taze fuck face or fuck face junior?" Derik asked.
"Last time I tamed Adam, Mathew sent me to the emergency room. Last time I tamed Mathew, Adam pulled a gun on me and said he would kill me if I ever did it again."
"I'm sorry. Adam did WHAT?" Andrew was furious again.
"Nobody is going back to that house again!" Derik half shouted. "Least of all Vicky!" With that silence fell over the them.
