“Where are you girls?  I know you’re in here.”  The two attempted to slow their breathing in hopes he wouldn’t hear them.  A large shadow stood over the two, as Ashley looked up he saw the man standing right above the counter staring down at them.

“Well there you are!”  He reached down and pulled Spencer by the hair, Spencer screamed and Ashley heard her knife clatter on the floor.  Ashley jumped after him, “HEY ASSHOLE!”  She didn’t think anymore she just felt herself lunge at the large form.  Tackling the large man, Spencer fell to the ground.  I will not let him hurt her.  I promised myself I would keep her safe.  “YOU DON’T TOUCH HER!”  Ashley yelled at the man as she pulled Spencer up from the floor once again putting distance between him and her girl.  As if he didn’t hear her he swung his large fist at Ashley and his other hand grabbed at Spencer again.  Ashley felt the hand make contact with her face as she fell into unconsciousness, the last thing she heard was Spencer screaming her name.  The voice of her beautiful blue eyed angel, voice filled with fear and panic.

Ashley’s mind was yelling at her, get up you idiot that guy just took your girl.  You’ll never live knowing anything happened to her.  Ashley’s eyes opened slowly just as she heard a car door closing.  Immediately aware of her situation again she sprinted towards the door, making it to the man’s car just before he closed his door.  Lunging at the man she clawed him across the cheek with her nails, all she saw was red, the man that touched her Spencer.  She felt her fists falling repeatedly down on his face. 

“I” punch, “SAID,” punch, “YOU,” punch, “DON’T” punch, “TOUCH,” punch, “HER!” punch.  The man was bleeding heavily when Ashley finally got up, still chuckling at God knows what.  Ashley checked all the seats in the car not seeing Spencer, she opened  the trunk to find her girl sobbing uncontrollably inside with cut on her forehead as the blood rolled down, Ashley was guessing she got it when the man slammed the car trunk door down. 

“Its okay I’m here, I’m sorry baby, I’m so sorry.”
