"You are fucked, man." The officer told her but Nancy only gulped. She knew begging them won't do her any good. She wonders why Damon was after her. Why did he want to kill them? Because she still couldn't forget how they opened fire at her apartment.

Her leg started shaking the moment she found their van getting to the east part. What if they had already caught my brother? The thought made her question.

"Where is my brother?" Using her trained manly vocals she questioned the officer.

"Well, that's something Damon's men will get you spilling in no time." Nancy bit her mouth and closed her eyes. "What is it about? What will he get from us? We have nothing against Anderson's..." But before she could complete the officer sitting at her left punched her ribs.

"Shut up!" He yelled,

"Relax man, it's not like he won't be getting any of it at his base." But before the first officer could complete the one who hit her cut off, "They gotta know we did a number on him too." Saying this he tossed her away and was about to stomp on her belly when she moved around and took it on her back.

"Ah!" A very feminine screech left her mouth and they laughed. "Did you hear that? Ha!"

With her head hazy she tried to open her eyes and noticed a Taser lying there. She got her hands on it and hid it under her jacket.

Nancy had herself curled in a corner when the van pulled up. Her eyes dared to spill the tears. The officer pulled her collar to get her out. Nancy tried her best to not groan and looked up to see the back door of his mansion that opens in a long dark alley. His home was quite far from this place. This one only lead to his torture cell which was known as a dungeon. Though she had heard a lot about this place from the strippers when they were called to do the personal shows for the gang members here. For Nancy, it was her first time here in the notorious alley. The alley was only wide enough for two vans and had a metal gate on a closed building.

Nancy gulped wondering what it was about. Her legs felt frozen and the officer only pushed her ahead. She wonders what they wanted her for.

Someone opened the door before they could get even close. And, the officers got still in their tracks. Only one bulky man got ahead and told the officer. "Get out of here." The officer pushed Nancy to him and he was quick to get his hand on Nancy's collar too. Nancy weighed nothing and tripped to his side.

The officers left and got into the van but that man was still looking at the van. As if he didn't have anything to worry about the guy he was holding. He could already tell that thing he was holding in his fist didn't have a mass. But the moment that blonde huge man looked at her she tried to get his hand off her collar. "I am going to make your soup." He seethed over her face with a devilish smile and raised her up in the air.

"Ah..." Nancy fought for her breath and started choking. Her big eyes welled up but the moment she noticed that he was the only guy who got out of that metal gate she used the electric gun to shock him. The man fell on his knee leaving her collar but she was too scared that he will stand up again and electrocuted him even more.

"Zeep, zeep, zeep..." But the moment she heard the buzzer going off she looked at the metal gate opening and ran away without looking at her back. She walked out of the alley and took the first apartment complex she could get into. Ignoring the man behind the desk shouting at her intrusion she shoot for the flight of stairs and didn't stop until she reached the rooftop. She stopped only for a moment to take huge gulps of air before she hopped onto another roof. She changed buildings without a thought and only got down when there were no buildings close. She took the stairs down wondering where her brother was.

She wonders if he will be able enough to dodge them like she did. A hiccup got the best of her when she made her way to the wild on the ice. She knew it was the only best shot at the moment. She didn't know how she was making herself run. Because no matter how fast she tried to run the land under her feet seems like pushing her back.

It was only when she believed she was deep in the woods she felt a sense of relief. There was no light and she didn't have any way to tell where she was. She had never been here before. Not in this part of this city. It didn't take her long to realize it is going to be a cold night. She could literally freeze to death here.

Placing her hand on a nearby tree she stopped to get her breathing to normal before she settled down leaning on the tree. "Oh God," She broke into tears and rubbed her face worrying about her brother.

'Or you can cross the border to Russia?' The thought passed her but she knew it was only getting out of one problem to fall into another. The only thing she wanted to do was live. Was she asking for too much?

Promise me. Promise me you will live. Don't die my daughter. You are...you are my lineage...my only...

She knew she was her father's only hope when he was dying. She wasn't raised to be a warrior. She wasn't living the life she was raised for seventeen years in her family. And, now she wonders if she was living to be on the run forever. She worries that one day a bullet is to find a way at her back. But won't it be right? This is what she was. A coward who can't do anything except run.

It was so dark and she shivered realizing she better collect some wood to light. Collecting a few branches she couldn't help but pray that her brother somehow manages to run too. She lit the woods and hoped that it doesn't start to snow but it seems the odds were against her today.

She rubbed her thin fingers together. She didn't have her bag or anything. She was where she was all those years ago. But now she was tired. Looking up all she registered was darkness. The weather was so bad she wanted to end it all.

It seemed hours has passed. And, she sat there wondering if she should cross the border to Russia or not. It was night and she really couldn't tell the directions at night. She was relaxed that she was far enough where she couldn't see the buildings anymore but even a little sound of air rushing her was enough to make her alert.

Leaning her back against a tree she was too tired of keeping herself going. She was given the responsibility of her brother but it was never easy. Not after his teen hormones kicked in and he always wanted to be wasted. He was never a help. It's been so long that she had been convincing herself that he will change his ways. And, now they were in this mess for God knows why.

She winced realizing it will be even harder for her brother to escape if he is out of consciousness. Her eyes welled up with tears. She rubbed her palms over her eyes but then broke into tears. She wonders what mess he has found himself in.

The snow started pouring and she groaned. "No, no, no..." She tried to cover the fire or stood up to gather a few more fallen branches. The trees were big enough and she could only pick the fallen remains of the tree. She was still picking more when she heard. "There he is!"

She let the branches fall and tried to make a run. Only to fall with her face down. She picked herself up again but soon gunshots followed and she couldn't help but hide behind a tree.

"What do you want!" She tried her best to keep her voice manly. She knew it was better to get shot before they could realize she was a woman. She could hear the steps getting closer. Her feet took her away instantly but soon someone kick on her back and she fell.

"You love it. Don't you!" She couldn't make anyone's face but got stunned when someone used a Taser on her. She couldn't say a word but heard someone say. "We want him breathing. Wait for Damon. He is on the way."

"This won't kill him." The man said before stunning her again and again. She lost the conscious but one of them got ahead to kick her guts twice making her groan. "Ah, please..." Her feminine voice was overlooked for how badly she was writhing in pain.

"Hang him upside down" Joseph said and two men got ahead to pull her more to where the road was close. But not too close to the road came a tree that they believed was good. She fell on the way but the guy who had his grip on her left wrist pulled her through the ice.

She couldn't tell how many people were there. She was too scared to get her head up to count them. "No," Nancy whimpered when they bound her feet and started hanging her upside down. She felt too vulnerable and soon a punch landed on her cheek.

But then someone pulled her hair to roar in her ear. "It was my cousin you attacked. You hear me!"

"Ah..." Her hair stung. At this point how much she wished for a quick death.

Another man got her scarf out from her neck while Nancy's hands only hung in the air. She moved her arms in an attempt to have a hold on something. "Please..." She groaned in pain but no one could hear what she was trying to say with her jaw dislocated with a punch before.

She felt too cold. No one was taking notice of her voice that had come to her natural pitch. She was too scared to think straight. At this point, she wished for an easy death. She wishes that someone just shot her.

"Where is your brother?" Joseph came ahead only now to question her and she shook her head. "I don't know. I haven't seen him..." Her voice got stuck and Joseph chuckled. "Yes, how stupid one must be to elope with Damon's fiancé." And, for a moment Nancy did forget how she was hanged upside down. "Knock some sense in him." He said at the end and Nancy wonders how her brother could do this. The shock was too real to put her in denial.

"No, he can't do this. Please, you are mistaken..." But welcomed a punch from Joseph on her jaw again. His rings were enough to pierce the side of her mouth. It started bleeding actively.

Joseph took a step back and someone slapped her face before pushing her forward and her whole body started swinging. She started feeling dizzy in no time. Her lips shivered given to the cruel cold night. She tried telling herself her end was near. But the betrayal by her brother was too shocking. He wasn't in pain or caught. He had fleed knowing what they do to the families who go against this family.

She found someone getting a hold of her hands to stop her. The man punched her face again before pushing her again. Nancy yelled realizing she was about to hit the tree. And, she did before passing out.

"Stop playing with him. We want him to tell us about his brother. I can't risk you stupid killing him before Damon is done with him." Joseph end up shouting the last of his words when he noticed someone still getting closer to her unconscious body.

"He hurt my brother..." The man started but Joseph raised his finger.

"Step away from him," Joseph warned while the man standing beside Joseph asked. "He got a nice jacket. Can I get it before it is ruined with blood stains?" Joseph shook his head before swaying his hand. The man got ahead and removed the jacket from Nancy's body that was already hanging off her body.

She didn't have much feminine figure. Something that had helped her to maintain her identity. Besides she always had a cloth wrapped under her shirt.

The guy touched her cheek and whispered. "He for sure has smooth skin for a..." But then trailed off. As if suspecting something amiss. He was about to say it when he heard Damon's jeep pulling.

The G Wagon got his attention and he reluctantly walked away hiding the jacket in his hands. The man was clever enough to walk a little farther from the spot.

Damon got his eye on the body hanging. He couldn't look at the face because it was on the other side but hated his prey passed out. Damon got his gun out to shoot her right arm. "Aaaaa!!!!!..." Nancy woke up with excruciating pain.

Her voice was enough to make Damon look at Joseph who previously walked ahead to Damon's Jeep to receive Damon. Joseph bit his mouth and walked to Damon. "He for sure sounds like pussy." Joseph tried to defuse the situation with a chuckle while the place was now a little lighted with his car's lights.

Nancy opened her eyes to witness the silhouette of a man. Uncontrollable whimpers left her mouth without stopping. And, though with all that light behind him she couldn't make his face, the gun in his hand was making her see the end.

Joseph was quick to gesture for the light and someone lighted the torch to make her body visible. And, now Joseph noticed the sheer absence of any facial hair on her face. The girl was gasping and had her mouth destroyed. "Get him down," Joseph ordered now fully realizing what the matter was.

"Him?" Damon asked while Joseph tried to make some words with his throat dry but couldn't.

Nancy started heaving when her back touched the land. One of the men had his hold on her shoulder to make her land safely.

Nancy couldn't feel her head and was disoriented. She tried to touch her arm which was bleeding. Her head felt like a heavy stone. She no longer knew where to look and kept her face down. She now knew why he tortured her employer in the morning.

She tried to get on her feet herself but couldn't. The fear had frozen her limbs. Sobbing hard she could only drag her back to the tree. And, the man who had his hold on her shoulder let her go. She whimpered feeling the pain from a gunshot that had rendered her arm. She wonders if she will be given a chance to explain herself. But the rumours she had heard about him weren't positive. Her feet were still bound. She held her right arm with her left and sobbed. "Is Ken your brother?" Joseph asked and Damon was this close to losing it. Did they get the wrong person and he had to drive all the way for nothing?

"I don't know why did he do this. I don't know, really I don't..." She was tasting her own blood while gulping.

Damon started walking to her and two men got ahead to hold Nancy's shoulder and made her stand up. But the man standing to her right squeezed her wound making her gasp and her body lose its balance. "Please...no...please..." Nancy couldn't tell who was holding her. Or how many people were there? She just wanted to die at this point.

"Where is he?" Damon asked but before she could answer he held her face up. Her pink lips puckered out but she writhed in pain. She was cold as ice. And, his hands felt a lot feverish.

"I don't...he...I don't know. Please, let me go." The brother she had pulled the long shifts for left her in a blink. She wonders when he ever came to know about Aria. Didn't he know how much his sister had sacrificed for him?

The man to her right squeezed her arm more and she gasped. "Please, oh! Ahh...Ahh..."

Damon smiled before punching the man at her right. "Let the woman talk!" But then held Nancy's neck and hit her into the tree. "Ahh..." Leaning to her hair he whispered, "I will give you a painless death. Tell me where is he? We..." He moved her jaw and fixed it for her before telling her. "...can keep it nice." But Nancy only shook her head. "Ahhh!" She looked at the man who was telling her he could break her neck in the next second. Her lip trembled badly before she managed to get her eyes lowered. "I really...don't."

"The other way you want. Don't you..." Nancy who was left with no strength only shook her head but gasped when he held her wound with all strength. "No!" A voiceless gasp mirrored her pain.

She had her left eye swollen shut and Damon extended his hand to the man who was holding the torch. He put the light on her face and made Nancy shut her eyes. But not before he noticed those long lashes hiding that beautiful eye of hers.

"I have twenty men here? The wolves won't find a bone of yours." Nancy moved her face to the left and tried to resist his mouth coming to her. She didn't seem to listening to him and his patience was thinning.

He leaned down. So close that she could feel his warm breath on her face. Damon held her shirt and in only one jerk all the buttons flew away.

"I don't know. Please let me go,...please..." The act was enough to get her to react. She pleaded now with her eyes half open while her lip shivered giving into the freezing night of Alaska. She didn't want to be eaten by these men. Her pleading eyes had a tear escaping. This is not how she wanted to see her end.

"You!..." Damon growled and Nancy whimpered feeling a hand at her chin and yanking her face up. Her whole body was sore giving into the torture she had been through. Her back was hurting and she was sure her guts were bleeding internally at this point.

Damon stared at her pink lips before completing. "...are beautiful,..." Leaning to her ear he breathed into her ear and the realization of who was talking to her had her shivering.

Damon knew beautiful women only know how to deceive. And, this one? Sure was laughing when her brother was telling her about fucking his fiancé. "...who tied her up?" Damon tilted his head a little to the back and demanded from Joseph. Even touching her was enough to know how weak she was to be a man. He wonders what stupid didn't realize she was not a man.

Nancy broke into the sobs looking up. "Please, I really don't know anything about Ken...he..." Her voice gave up when he rubbed his thumb on her mouth. He chuckled nodding his head. "I trust you, sweetie. But it seems he has left something for us to collect." Nancy didn't know what he meant but felt a hand on her waist the next moment before he loaded her on his shoulder. Joseph tried to say something but then knew his anger better and cleared his way even before he turned around.

"Ah," Nancy could tell nothing good was coming. Her functional hand grabbed Damon's jacket with full force while her wounded arm was no better than wasted at the moment. No matter what move it was writhing in excruciating pain.

"I don't know anything." She barely managed. Her throat was parched and her voice came trembling. "Please..." Everything was moving in front of her eyes. How much she wishes it was death coming for her when Damon, the infamous monster had her on his shoulder. Like a prey, he had shot in the jungle. And, she indeed was shot.

Joseph wonders why he was tackling her himself. Her arm soaking in blood was ruining his expensive jacket. And, usually, he let his men handle people with blood but then Joseph shook his head. Of course, it wasn't every day he gets to torture a woman.

Joseph heard the woman whimper in pain when he threw her in the passenger seat. Damon got behind the driver's seat and pulled out his car. And, the moment Joseph noticed the jeep leaving he told one of his men. "What are waiting for? Get your cars following him."

"I want you to figure out where she worked, and her boyfriend if she has any. Any friends she has." Joseph told his driver wondering how nobody knew it was a slut and not a lad. Was this woman hiding her identity to live here? He knew he had to get info to let Damon know he was of any use to keep his position as the second in command for the family.
