I screamed but my voice strangled by the belt wrapped around my neck. The sharp side of his knife touched my skin, nearly cutting me.

The frigid steel against my skin sent a shiver through my entire body and I wasn't able to open my eyes, to see what he was about to do with my body. I could only feel the steel slowly crossing my skin, between legs, he was trying to tease my body with it.

"Don't do it!" I heard Ria scream, sobbing along with it. I forced my eyes open, meeting her horrified gaze.

"Don't fucking touch her you mother fucker!" She continued screaming, trying to release herself.

Frank rolled his head annoyed, clenching his jaw before pushing himself up to his knees. I felt a sight of relief washed over me as his knife was no where near me. But it swiftly vanished away and turned into panic once again as he walked towards Ria, tightening his fist around his knife.

"Uh you shut up for god sake, you want to be first then huh?" Frank groaned as he knelt down beside her, grabbing her face tightly onto his other hand.

She struggled with Frank, kicking him with her legs as well as trying to release her wrists out of the chain, screaming. She was fighting for herself, for me. And at that moment I actually felt that someone was there, even if we both die right here and right now.

Frank soon managed to hold her down in a place before kicking her himself a few times in the stomach, causing me to wince at every kick. I cried out as she went breathless, trying to catch a breath.

Eventually Frank got down on top of her, straddling her as she struggled beneath him. He then placed his knife against her throat, causing her to stop the squirming "I did want to take my time with the both of you, I was going to make it easy on you as well, Ria" He shouted to her face.

He forced the knife a bit and a few drops of blood rushed down her neck, "No!" I tried to scream.

She squeezed her eyes out of pain, breathless and unable to move. Frank grinned, ignoring my cries and hers, "But I am going to make you both bleed tonight," He chucked.

Frank pulled his hand away from her throat while Ria was trembling beneath him. Then in a sudden move, he forced the knife into her stomach. I screamed along with Ria, gasping as I saw blood pouring down her body.

Ria!

I was witnessing my best friend getting stabbed by a fucker, witnessing her death. No, This is not the end, it can't be. I straggled to break the chain by smashing it hard into the wall. "Don't!" I screamed once more.

Blood was dripping down my wrists, But I couldn't stop, I was too frustrated to care about the pain. Finally after a lot of tries, it broke and I swiftly got up to my knees before opening the belt around my neck. It was hard to balance myself at the first moment but I carelessly ran towards them with the cuffs still around my wrists.

I pushed Frank hard onto the floor with my body. But he was bigger, more masculine and had more power than me and Ria could possibly have. He pushed me off of him before setting on me, my cuffed hands behind my back. "You really thought you can win this? There's no way out just fucking except it" He yelled, at least I had managed to put a few painful kicks on him. and at least I managed to save her from another deep and painful wound.

At least I tried.

Frank placed his bloody hand on my stomach, trying to figure where to force his knife to make himself more satisfied. Then suddenly something caught his attention and his smirk faded away.

squeezing my belly more with his hand, "Why is it so hard and firm," He asked looking down at me.

I swallowed as he lifted my shirt up, now squeezing it with his bare hands. I tried to move but he pushed his hand more onto my stomach and I gasped by the pain.

He laughed suddenly, his gaze back to my horrified face, "You're fucking pregnant!"

His words repeated in my head, turning into an echo. I felt the world stopped spinning for a moment as a single warm tear fall down from my eyes. No, No, No...this can't be, please. I can't die knowing that I have a baby, a life!

"No-" I gasped.

He ripped my shirt off to take a better look, placing both of his dirty hands around my belly, "Tom's baby!" He chuckled in a sick way and my head was spinning around, speechless.

I shook my head, tears all over my face. "No,No,No,No" I mumbled beneath my breaths.

Frank looked up at me again and moved my hair out of my face with his blood soaked knife, causing Ria'a warm blood to smudge a trail along my face. "But besides that, did you know that there are places in the body in which you can stab without dying?" He hushed, his knife passed through my lips and slowly went down.

Making its way towards my stomach, "Let's see how long you and your little dog can survive," He then pointed at Ria with his eyes. I slowly followed his gaze, spotting Ria staring at me, her mouth open and tears all over her face and her body covered with her blood.

I locked my gaze into her eyes, trying to find something to hold onto. Frank dug his knife somewhere along my stomach and I let out a whine as the knife tore at my flesh. The sharp pain ran throughout my whole body and I found myself gasping for air.

He dragged the knife out and slid in again, somewhere close to the first, and then the second...the third. I couldn't even scream anymore. I was just watching Ria's eyes as the blood was flowing out of my body. I watched in her eyes as our life's were fading away. Is this the end?

Frank removed the knife buried in my flesh and looked at the wound he had caused, sexually satisfied. He slid the knife around my body, trying to think where he could stab me next. I groaned and moaned on the cold floor, as well as gurgling on my blood, he was going to play with me for as long as he could. He didn't want me to die; he wanted me to feel every bit of this.

But suddenly a loud bang filled my ears and my eyes swiftly shifted to the door, shocked as well as Frank.

And there he was, in the doorway and with the most terrified look I had ever seen. He met my gaze and his breath stopped in his chest, his eyes wide open as he saw the blood all over my body.

"Get off of her!!" His voice boomed the room before he attacked Frank in a swift move, grabbing him by his neck violently, trying to snap his head off. Tom grabbed the knife out of his hand before stabbing it hard into Frank's horrified green eyes. Cursing him as He dragged the bloody knife out and stabbed him again and again and again but Frank was way past dead.

Tom was too much of a madman to let go, but once his eyes met mine, he swiftly pushed Frank's ripped body aside and reached for me. Just then, Bill burst into the room and rushed to Ria's side, cradling her numb form in his arms as Tom did for me.

His hand pressed against my stomach, desperately attempting to stem the bleeding. "Stay with me!" His voice trembled. With great effort, I lowered my own hand onto his, feeling the warmth of the liquid seeping onto my fingers.

I gazed up at him, my dry lips moving, struggling to tell him that I loved him, that I had his baby. But nothing came out, all that emerged were breathless gasps.

Tom's words reached me, but my senses were numbed, and I could only see the terror in his dark beautiful eyes and the sweat glistening on his face.

Everything was slow, I could no longer feel pain. But I was glad that I was in his arms feeling... safe in this chaos.

Suddenly, I sensed him lifting me, and he hurriedly turned towards the door. My gaze fell on Ria and Bill one last time. Bill was holding her, trying to lift her too to get her out of the room. His eyes were filled with madness, regret and fear and I couldn't tell if Ria was alive or...dead.

♡ ♡ ♡

"If she has to die, all of you have to die!" Tom screamed as he held his gun out towards all the people in the hospital with his shaky hands.

"She's alive, please they are alive," A doctor begged for a mercy, trying to calm the madman down in front of him.

"Both The girl and her baby are alive, please don't shoot,"

Tom swallowed hard, disbelief washing over him as he kept his gun trained on the doctors in the hallway. Then, tears welled up in his eyes, his heart aching for it to be true.

Bill rushed toward him, wresting the gun from his grip. "Tom, they're alive," he reassured, trying to calm him. But Tom was already crumbling, overcome by shock and disbelief, realizing that Lisa had been holding their child all along.

•••

Tom knelt down beside Lisa's bed, staring at her unconscious face. His hand gently resting on her stomach as he turned to Bill, his voice choked with emotion. "A monster like me should've never fall in love with a girl like her" He blurted out, his gaze full of regret.

"I wasn't there when she needed me, I wasn't there to hold her, to take care of her when she was holding my baby," Tom's tears welled up again and Bill put his hand on his shoulder, attempting to keep him calm but he was no use. Tom was already in so much pain. Seeing Lisa almost getting killed along with the baby he never knew existed, it was all like a sharp knife into his heart.

The heart he never knew he had.

•••

Tom clasped Lisa's hand in his as she slowly blinked her eyes open, wondering where she was and what was happening.

"T-Tom?" She mumbled, her voice weak, and her vision still blurry.

"yes, I'm here, I'm here Lisa, my baby. Just hold on a bit longer. The doctors are on their way." He did his best to reassure her, his grip on her hand firm, hoping to keep her from panicking.

•••

"You still need to rest," Tom said concern as he gently guided Lisa to his bed, keeping a firm hold on her arm as she slowly sat down.

"Where's Bill and Ria?" She asked.

"They'll be here soon, just rest for now," Tom reassured Lisa, gently tucking her long black hair behind her ear as he spoke.

"You're room..." Lisa mumbled as she gazed around his messy room, it was never like this before, what was he doing when she wasn't here? she questioned herself.

"My room?"

"Why is everything... broken? "What happened in here?"

Tom hesitated, "I...I've had a few rough days,"

•••

"So, spaghetti with a special bread, huh? Any other orders?" Tom teased, a mock surprise in his expression as he arched an eyebrow.

"Yeah, and I want you after my meal,"Lisa replied playfully as she fixed her seat on the counter.

"But I want my desert before the meal, may I?" Tom asked, a playful grin forming on his lips as his hands gently held her waist, placing himself between her legs.

"Sorry no can do, I'm hungry,"

"I can wait," Tom mumbled, his warm fingers tracing her cheek with love. He then leaned in, his warm lips gently meeting hers.

•••

"Why Luna?" Lisa chuckled, her eyes locked with Tom's deep gaze.

Tom moved closer, his hands resting gently on Lisa's belly. "Because she'll be the moon you created to light up my darkest nights," he whispered, then knelt down to plant a tender kiss on her belly.

"I promised you're mummy that i'm going to be the best daddy in the world, Little princess" Tom whispered into Lisa's belly before planting another kiss.

"I love her"
