Nous les filles nous nous défendons

Third Pov

" Kathy when are you coming home?" Kathy's mother asked her over the phone annoyed at her daughter's obsession with the french man.

" Mom I told you I don't know.....I - I'm not ready to come home. Chase is finally-" She said before she was interrupted by her mother.

" Oh my fucking God, if I have to hear about this Chase again I swear I will jump off a fucking cliff!" Her mother stressed out.

" Jeesh mom, I'm in love!" Kathy yelled. " Can't you see .... Im in love with him. You said I should never give up on love...you said that, don't you remember?"

Kathy's mother sighed over the phone and place her hand on her forehead. The truth was Kathy was a very naive girl and not to mention a very " hopeless romantic" at that. The way Kathy had describe her relationship with Chase to her mom, her mom immediately knew that Chase only wanted sex but in Kathy's silly head he was madly in love with her but use sex as a way to cover it. This wasn't the first time Kathy has been used for her body and her mother had to witness the aftermath of that. She believe that Kathy was too innocent for this world, it break her heart that people constantly use her daughter for money, sex and other things and after they do the soft hearted girl would always forgive them.

" Kathy.... please just come home. This man clearly doesn't love you....I don't want you to be hurt again Kathy...just come home." Her mother said, trying her best to hide her tears.

" Mom you don't understand Chase. He's just pretending to be cold hearted because he doesn't want me to know that he loves me. He's probably used to getting his heart hurt and as a coping mechanism he pretends that he only wants sex or friendship from girls but I think I can fix him...I think I can help him..."

" God! " Kathy's mom yelled out. " You can't fix shit! Just come home please I miss you. It's not safe for a young girl like you to be in a foreign country all by yourself. I don't want you to end up missing like Zuri Jefferson....I heard that they are trafficking girls!"

" I'll be safe mom...." A part of Kathy knew that her mother was right but for some reason she just didn't wanted to believe it.

" Kathy if you don't come home, I will personally send someone to get you! " Her mother yelled and Kathy finally gave up.

"Fine..." She said before rolling her eyes. The only thing that was keeping her in France was Chase and at the moment he was pushing her away and she missed home.

" Good girl..." Her mother said after she sighed in relief.

................

Kathy smile gently as she drove to Chase's manor, she had a plan. She was going to tell him she was leaving for good and then when he realize he can't live without her, he will confess his love for her.

"He loves me..." She whispered to herself again trying to convince herself with the lie. " He just doesn't know it yet or at least he knows but just don't want to admit it."

She then enter the lonely road leading to Chase's house. She think maybe when they get together he can sell the mansion, so they can move to a smaller nice house that feels like a house and not some huge asylum that is fill with endless halls and doors. She remembered the first time she saw the mansion, her mouth opened in awe but as she get used to it she realize it's just a big space fill with sorrow and bad memories. She drove up the manor and stopped when she reach the large white gates and got out of her car and placed in the code that she summarized, she then watches as the gates open. She stand still while looking at the mansion with her eyebrows frowned, something didn't felt right to her, she shrugged it off and got into her vehicle and drove through the gates, she then parked behind one of Chase's car. After that she got out and watches as the gates slowly close, her ginger hair was flowing through wind. She then looked into the car window to make sure she looked good, she was wearing a short sundress and a leather jacket on. She then took her underwear off as she remembered Chase would joke about them not being allowed in his house. She smiled as she felt the wind blew up her skirt revealing her butt, she then ran her hands through her hair and then puckered her red lipstick covered lips, thinking she look irresistible.

" Okay so after we have sex, I will tell him I'm leaving for good. " She reminded herself. She then walked up the front door and opened it with the key she copied from his without his knowledge. She then push the doors open and enter slowly with a smile and her face.

" Chase!" She called out once before she closed back the doors and headed towards the staircase.

" Ugh, these stairs.....why can't you just get an elevator!" She yelled out jokingly. The closer she reached to the top, the more she could hear what seems to be a television. It was strange to her because for the time she knew Chase he had never watched television.

"Chase?" She called out as she push open his door which was empty. She then frowned in confusion, wondering where the TV noise was coming from.

.................

Zuri sat in the bed covered in multiple blankets with a large bowl of popcorn on her lap, she was watching one of her favourite Tv show "Martin" .She didn't saw Chase since morning, so she assumed he left and decided to make herself a snack and watch tv. While watching the show, she heard a woman voice calling out Chase's name. She stopped chewing and froze in shock wondering who could that be. She slowly removed the bowl off of her and felt her heart began to race as she heard the woman voice coming closer to the room.

"Chase-" Kathy called out as she pulled the door but stopped dead in her tracks when she saw the strange woman sitting on Chase's bed. The woman was in a white t shirt and white sweatpants, her messy hair was in a ponytail, her skin looked pale and her eyes had dark circles. " Wh- who are you?" Kathy asked as she felt her heart shattered into million pieces. To her believe, Chase had another lover or a girlfriend even.

"I-" Zuri looked at the woman in shock, unable to speak. Was this it? Would she be save? Who is this girl? Was she one of Chase's sex partner? Would she help her?. So many questions flooding through Zuri's mind.

" Who- who are you?" Kathy asked again, as tears began to stream down her face. Her lover has fallen for another.

" Help..." Zuri muttered. Unsure about the outcome if she confess to the woman about her predicament " help..." She said again, this time louder and audible. The woman then looked at her confusingly.

"What?" Kathy question as she stepped closer to Zuri.

" Help me!" Zuri said a bit louder now." You have to help me!"

" W-what... Why?" Kathy then began to wipe her tears. This woman was asking for her help, Kathy didn't know why.

" Chase.... Chase, he kidnapped me,I'm Zuri Jefferson...I'm American and Chase kidnapped me!" Zuri cried out as she began to cry now. She was scared, she didn't know what telling the girl would bring. Who knows, the woman could probably help her. Kathy then froze, her eyes widen as she began to realize that the woman standing in front of her was indeed the missing woman. Her heart shattered into more little pieces as she just process what Zuri had told her.

"N-no....it can't be." She said shakily. She then began to shook her head profusely as she began to cry her eyes out at the discovery. " It can't be!" The man she loved was a psychopath. She then stopped and looked at Zuri, she had a question and this question would forever change the way she looked at Chase as if this didn't already.

" Di-did he...did Chase killed those people?" She question.

" Yes...yes...he killed them!" Zuri yelled out. Her start heart racing, wondering if this woman would help her or would just abandoned her.

"Oh god!" Kathy cried out as she held her stomach, she was going to be sick. " Oh my God....I - I ..." She then looked at the girl and hated the fact that she felt a bit jealous that he did all of that for her. " We- we have to get out of here before that fucking bastard comes back!" She cried out. She felt so ashamed and guilty that she was fucking him while he held a innocent woman captive and murders innocent people. She felt so sick with herself, she felt like she wanted to vomit, she felt like she wanted to scrub her skin off.

" Thank you, thank you...thank you for not being blinded by your love for him." Zuri said.

" What makes you think I loved him?" Kathy questioned.

" You started crying when you saw me, I guess you assume I was his side piece or something." Zuri replied, as she wiped her tears off of her face.

" Turns out I'm actually the side piece...because I was just his pocket pussy. " Kathy then wiped her tears. " We- we need to leave now." She then push open the door and then Zuri began to follow her. Both girls began to ran down the stairs, both girls felt like their heart will burst through their chest.

" Hurry, I left my phone in my car!" Kathy yelled out as she ran towards the front door and instantly pushed it open. Everything was happening so fast, so fast that the girls didn't saw Chase standing beside his car while they ran to Kathy's. His black range Rover was parked behind Kathy's red Nissan. They both didn't notice him, he watch as Kathy took her car keys from her jacket and opened her car door after pressing the unlock button on the key.

"Où vas-tu?" He asked nonchalantly as he leaned on his car. ( Where are you going?" The girls gasped in fright as they both looked at him. Zuri began to hyperventilate, he's going to punish her again she thought. Kathy then raise her hand and cover Zuri in a protective stance.

" Kathy my love, are you really chosing her over me?" He questioned. He didn't look angry or anything, infact he had a smirk on his face. " This upsets me so much, my woman is having an affair with my other woman." He said before chuckling to himself.

"Ch-Chase ....let us go." Kathy said.

" So you guys fall in love and decided to runaway together into the sunset to live happily ever after?" He questioned. He then walked up a bit closer and the girls immediately backed away. " Who would've of thought my wife and my mistress would plot together to deceive me in such a way. "

Zuri then looked at Kathy in shocked when she heard the words "my wife" while Kathy looked at Zuri in shocked as well.

" Ha! I'm playing....I'm kidding." He said. " But fuck, this is disappointing. I have to dispose of you Kathy and I actually really enjoyed your company, I really liked you. I always wondered if I could really spend the rest of my life with you and I even consider it but I just never really found you that interesting." He said as he stepped a bit closer to them.

"Chase... please just let us go." Kathy plead. " Th-the cops...everyone is looking for her. It won't take long for them to know.."

" They won't..they won't have her. " He then chuckled. " You'd be so surprised how easy it is to get away with crime here."

Kathy just looked at him with her mouth open, she felt so hurt and confuse. He looked so different to her now, he didn't look like the handsome prince charming she thought he was, he wasn't the same man she fell in love with. She felt so humiliated and embarrassed, he was ready to just dispose of her like she was trash while she was willing to give up her whole life just to be with him. Zuri was scared, all she could think about was the torture he has in-store for her, she need a plan and she need to think of it now.

"Ch- Chase.". She called out.

" Shut the fuck up Zuri!" He yelled angrily. " Aren't you tired of killing people?" He questioned " look how many people I've killed because of you. Aren't you tired?"

" I've killed no one!" She yelled, she was deeply offended at what he said. " You're the psycho who kill people for your own satisfaction. No one forced you to kidnapped me, no one fucking did Chase!"

" Everyone who goes near you dies. Just like your mother." He said. Zuri then notice Kathy's phone screen turn on after she got a notification. She had a plan, she was going to distract Chase while Kathy take her phone and try to get help but she would have to run back into the house and hide until help comes. It was the only plan she had and she had to be the one to distract Chase because it seems like he would be more hesitant to kill her than Kathy.

Chase was still rambling on a out how she's a murderer and it's her fault and whatever. Kathy was still in front of Zuri when Zuri step behind her head, trying to hide her face from Chase, luckily Kathy was a inch taller than Zuri.

"When I attack him, I want you to take your phone, call for help and run into the house and hide somewhere and don't come out until help is here." Zuri whispered,making sure that only Kathy heard what she was saying. Kathy then shook her head gently, agreeing with the plan even though she felt guilty that she would be leaving Zuri to take on this monster by herself.

" I mean sure yeah I don't truly know what happened to your parents but I assume they die, more than likely your the fucking cause." He said before chuckling and then anger overcome Zuri as she ran towards him with rage and immediately after she ran, Kathy open her car door and take up her phone and ran towards the mansion.

Zuri then began to claw at Chase with her nails, spitting and yelling curse words at the man. Chase was genuinely shocked at this, he just stand there with both hands up as defense. She then began to slap on his face and head, jumping up to reach it. She was fighting with all her strength and might, putting out all the anger she had kept in ever since he had capture her .

Kathy ran through the mansion looking for a place to hide, she then ran upstairs and went into the furthest room which when she opened a wind of dust hit her face, she then cough and use her hand to fan away the dirt from her face and when she did, she looked into the room. It was fill with dust covered pink furnitures, it looked like a room that would belong to an teenage girl. Unfortunately curiosity took over her and she began to observe the room which had posters of singers, bands and posters of models. The room clearly belong to an teenager. She then walked towards the vanity set which had a photo of girl who had a strong resemblance to Chase, it must've been a sibling or so, she then realize she knew nothing of the man she was supposedly in love with.

...............

Chase then finally realize what was happening, he then looked at Zuri who was hitting him and scratching him. He then used his arm and block one of her hits then used his other hand to wrap around her neck. His head and shoulder was pounding after receiving so much hits from her and he knew he had some scratches on his face and arm. The only reason why he froze was because he was shock that she had the courage to attack him like that, he honestly don't remember when last someone had ever hit him like this before. He honestly didn't know if he should be angry or sexually aroused but for now he was pissed because Kathy was in there with her phone.

" You have done too much." He said as he began to squeeze her neck." But I'll deal with you soon." He then threw her on the ground and ran after Kathy.

............

She then looked around the room for a place to hide and that's when she saw the light pink wardrobe, she then ran towards it and when she opened it a wind of dust hit her face again. She then went inside and close it. The closet was big so she step deep inside, covering her nose and mouth as she walk through the dust covered clothes. She then sat in the corner of the dark closet, using her phone light as guide. Immediately she took out her phone and dial 112 which was the emergency number for English users in European countries.

" Hello this is 112, what's your emergency?" The feminine voice asked.

" Hello my name is Katherine Baily and me and Zuri Jefferson are being held captive by-" she rushed out before being interrupted.

" Ma'am you need to relax. Okay, so you said you and who are being held captive?" The woman asked.

" Zuri Jefferson...." She cried out. " We are at..."

" Zuri Jefferson? " The lady questioned again. Kathy was getting beyond frustrated with this woman and her interruptions.

" What the fuck?, Can you let me finish, someone is going to fucking kill me!. I need the police, I need help now!" She yelled out.

" Okay.. Katherine, where are you now?" The operator asked.

" Um....I ....uhh.....ummm..." Kathy didn't knew exactly where she was since normally Chase would pick her up and brought her here and eventually she would just study the path but she didn't knew exactly where she was going and she didn't studying her surrounding. " Umm...I- I know I pass saint affrique...-I"

" Kathy!" She then froze when she heard Chase called her name. He wasn't in the room but rather the passage way. She wonder why he would assume she came up here rather than downstairs.

" Fuck.... I don't know-" she said before she cover her mouth when she heard his voice coming closer.

" Kathrine, don't worry I will track your location and send a group of officers immediately. Where are you hiding?" The operator asked.

" Uhhhh...um im hiding in a closet. "

" Okay, where is Zuri Jefferson?" The operator question.

" Oh god...I- I don't know...." Kathy was so scared. She didn't wanted to die. " I don't want to die....I'm only 24. I have so much to live for ... I have a mother I want to make proud and a sister.... Please, please hurry."

" You won't die, I promise."

" What the- you stupid bitch, you left the door opened. Now I know you're in here." He chuckled.

Kathy then covered her mouth and froze when she heard his voice in the room.
