I felt for the ropes wrapped tightly around my hands, i couldn't see a thing. It was pitch black in the boot of the truck. I tried to scream but the noise muffled by the gag on my mouth. The car swerved right and i rolled along the floor helplessly, bashing into the side of the boot bruising my ribs. I cried out in pain, but no-one heard me. The engine groaned loudly and the car came to a halt. I opened my eyes wide and listened to the sound of keys coming from the lid of the boot. The lid lifted up and there stood a man who had once been my friend, but had now betrayed me, because of his hatred of my success.
I could see the malice in his eyes. His long ginger hair blew about in the soft breeze. He smiled menacingly.
"Lets take a stroll shall we?" He said evily.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two hours before...
"James, glad to see you actually turned up!" said Lara softly as she flung her arms around me. The year was 1987 and the party had just started. I swayed a bit, struggling to stand.
"Are you pissed again?" She demanded.
I nodded and kissed her cheek. I put my mouth to her ear and whispered, "That isn't such a bad thing, it'll make tonight more enjoyable..."
She smiled naughtily and put her hand up the back of my misfits t-shirt. I giggled pathetically, Lars saw me. Oh no, i thought. He walked up to me and shook his head. Lara let go of me hastilly.
"Hey baby, whats with you getting all kinky with Jamesy boy?"
She shook her head and laughed.
"Its called a greeting! I havent seen him in ages, dickhead."
Lars kissed her lips softly and ran his fingers through her long brown hair. I could feel the envy and hatred building up inside me but I kept my cool. Lars couldn't keep her away from me forever.
I grabbed a drink and sat down next to kirk.
"That was a bit risky James, you know if Lars finds out that you and her are planning to..."
"Shut up Kirk, coz if I find out you've told lars..."
He shook his head.
"The only reason I ain't telling Lars is because I care about Lara, she hates being with him. The only reason she's with him is because of this stupid arranged marriage! Her parents aren't even religious and they're making her marry..."
"Okay stop ranting, Lars might hear."
"You've got an hour James, Lars is leaving for Dave's place now."
I saw lars waving goodbye to lara. Once he was out the door she grabbed my hand and led me into her bedroom without anybody noticing. She pushed me onto the bed and was about to jump ontop of me when she suddenly stopped. She sat next to me and started to cry, I didn't know what to do.
"James...I don't wanna marry lars...Stupid bitch of a mother! Why did she have to agree to an arranged marriage?"
I put my arm around her and kissed her forehead. I could feel her warm tears soaking into my t-shirt. I felt so sorry for her, I wanted to help her but I didn't know how.
"Lara, just tell me what you want me to do, I want to help you. I really do..."
She kissed my lips softly and rolled ontop of me. I felt a shiver run down my spine, something wasn't right. She could feel it too, she stopped kissing me and looked around. I heard a noise behind the door, we both got up and walked to the door. It slowly creeped open. There was Dave mustaine standing there with about 12 gang members. I had no idea what was going on, nor did Lara.
The gang members rushed into the room, I could hear screaming downstairs, they had attacked the party. Two people grabbed me by the arms. I struggled and struggled but they were too powerful, the others had tried to grab Lara but shw was a good fighter and three of them were now lying on the ground unconscious. She tried to fight them all off, but they overcame her and attached her to the bed with handcuffs.
"Well James looks like I finnaly found you. And your trying to get it on with Lars' fiancee(cant spell), that's typical. Put him in the truck boys!"
"What about he girl?"
"Leave her. Good little Lars will come and rescue her when he realises I'm not home!"
They tied me up and shoved me in the boot of the truck. Dave and the gang took a while coming out from the building, I hoped that the guests were alright and I prayed that Dave hadn't touched lara. 1 1/2 hours of driving slowly passed by....

End of Part 1
:D you like? :D

well i like so far but saying that i love all your stories!!!! nice going keep it up hon! :tu: :P

Thanx claire! :P

Part 2

The gang members lifted me from the boot and held me infront of Dave. He looked into my eyes and laughed when he saw the tears on my cheek.
"Pussy." He spat.
The men untied my legs and two of them escorted me to the edge of a lake. The moon was shining brightly in the sky, causing eerie lights to dance across the dark water. They took me to the edge of a pier and placed my feet right on the very edge so i was overlooking the deep water. I tried to scream but I couldn't, i pushed and pushed but i couldn't break free. I closed my eyes and swallowed hard. I felt Dave's hand on my shoulder. He looked into my eyes and laughed softly.
"I guess you're wondering why you're here." He started, I nodded slowly.
"James, you always were an idiot. I hate you James. So much. You ruined my life! I had nothing James, NOTHING! And what I did have, you took away from me! You gave me no second chance! And I'm not gonna give you one!"
I gasped, the men holding me slowly leant me forward until they were the only things stopping me from falling. My only lifeline.
"And now you're trying to ruin Lars' life by forcing his fiancee to cheat on him! James, you ARE scum. Filthy little scum, i was going nto save your life but now...I dont think its worth saving..."
He made a motion to his heinchmen. They pushed me further towards the water and held me so that the waves were lapping against my nose. They removed the gag from my mouth. I yelled and screamed, but there was no answer, the place was deserted.
"Give me one good reason why I should let you live!" Dave yelled.
"I..never meant to hurt you...can't we forget about all this?" I begged. Dave smirked.
"Beg James. I wanna hear you PLEAD."
"Dave, i never meant for this..please don't...."
"Shut up Hetfield. I've got a better idea of how to torture you!"
The heinchmen picked me up and dragged me inot a nearby barn. They threw me on a pile of hay and pointed their guns at me. I stayed still. I tried desperately not to cry.
5 men stood around me, obscuring my view until Dave and the others had retrieved something from the other side of the room. I heard a familiar voice cry for help, then a man was thrust at me from behind the men. He fell on the hay next to me, It was kirk.
I looked into his eyes. Tears were running down his face, he was terrified.
"James..I'm sorry..they got into the party and..." He began to sob.
"What are you gonna do to us Dave? What do you want?" I demanded.
"I want to make you pay."
"I don't understand! It's just a band! Why...?"
He raised his rifle and aimed it at kirk. I squirmed infront of kirk. Hands still tied.
"No, leave him be. What has he ever done to you?"
"He replaced me."
Dave fired at the pile of hay, Kirk cried out in pain. He'd shot his leg.
"NO!" I cried, "Please Dave, he's nothing to do with this!"
Kirk screamed out in agony, blood pouring from his leg.
A siren sounded from outside the barn. The gang ran outside to the truck, just as Dave was about to leave he yelled.
"I HAVEN'T FINNISHED YET, HETFIELD!"
The gang made their escape, the police were too late.
I struggled with my ropes and managed to break free. I crawled ontop of kirk and began to untie him.
"James..." He gasped, " james, it hurts..."
He cried out in pain, i heard footsteps coming from beind me.
"HELP! HELP ME!" I yelled.
Lara was there, she'd come in the police car.
"Over here!" She yelled as she rushed towards us.
"Kirk!" She gasped.
She pushed me off him and rolled him onto his back. She saw what had happened to his leg. The police ran into the barn carrying blankets for me and kirk. They called an ambulance and me and lara sat on the pile of hay waiting for it to arive.
"Where the hell are we?" I asked her nervously.
"Just outside of SF, I think." She said as she wrapped a bandage around kirks wound. He sobbed frantically.
"Kirk, its okay..." Said Lara as she hugged him tightly.
Not for long, I thought.

Part 3

A week dragged by. Me, Lara, Lars and Jason visited kirk in hospital everyday. The doctors said that he was very lucky that the bullet didn't hit a nerve, otherwise it would have paralysed his leg. Today was the day that kirk was coming out of hospital.
I had been staying at Jason's place for the week because Dave didn't know where he lived. I had been sleeping on the couch, well. I say sleeping, but it has been hard to fall asleep with the image of Dave's cackling face appearing in my dreams, the sound of the bullet, the sound of kirk screaming. I awoke at 3am every morning, sweating like crazy. Last night had been no different.
They still hadn't caught Dave and i was petrified that he would come and get me.
The doorbell rang loudly, i heard Jason scream at me to answer it. I slowly got up of the couch and yawned. I opened the door expecting kirk, but it wasn't. Lara was stood infront of me.
"Morning James...erm..i see you just got up."
I realised that i was still in my underpants. I laughed pathetically.
"Kirk here yet?"
"Nope. He should be here soon though, come in."
She walked through the door and screwed up her face in disgust at the smell in the living room.
"Yeah..about that.." i stammered, "jason doesn't own a hoover and he's never cleaned up after himself in his life!"
She smiled softly and laughed. I sat down on the couch and threw the blankets to one side. She sat down next to me and rested her head on my shoulder. I shivered, not knowing what to do.
"Jason's in the other room." I mumbled.
"I know..."
"Why did you come?" I asked nervously.
"I needed to talk to you and kirk. I think Dave's back in town."
She lifted her head off my shoulder and looked into my eyes.
"What...?"
"A friend of mine has this friend who's involved in all this gang stuff. According to her Dave's gang has returned to SF and they are hiding out in an abandoned sewer. Apparently they are planning on kidnapping someone close to you and luring you to the sewer where they can finnish what they started."
I said nothing, I rested my head on her shoulder and sighed deeply.
"Shit." I said finally. She slowly ran her hand through my hair and kissed my forehead. I suddenly remembered something.
"Lara, what's happening on the aranged marriage front? When is this supposed to be happening?"
"Sometime next week...I'm supposed to be buying a dress sometime aswell. This whole thing is stupid. I'm just gonna divorce him as soon as i can!"
"But he wants to marry you, what if he doesn't want to divorce?"
"Then I'll make him. I'll do whatever it takes..."
"You know you can't. He won't divorce you."
She sighed and put her arm around my waist, i lifted my head up and kissed her lips.
"Maybe he will..." She murmered. I kissed her harder and rolled ontop of her. She put her cold hand up my back, i giggled pathetically. I heard footsteps behind me, i sat up quickly and got off Lara. Jason was stood there looking at us. Lara brushed her hair out of her eyes and sat up.
"Awwwww, I was enjoying that!" Said Jason.
I frowned. Lara said nothing.
"Well, well, James. I guess i owe you 10 bucks, you were right."
"Shut up Jason." I said.
"Wait, a minute. You bet money on this?" Said Lara angrily.
"No, When I told kirk, Jason was evesdropping. He said i was lying and he bet me 10 bucks that i was talking shit."
Lara nodded her head. I could see the worry in her eyes. I put my arms around her. Jason shook his head in disbelief.
The doorbell rang I got up to answer it. When i opened the door i found kirk there, in tears.
"Kirk what's happened?" I demanded. He ran inside and sat down on the couch next to Lara.
"Kirk..?"
"Lara, Lars has been kidnapped. He was taking me home from the hospital and Dave's gang shot at the car and made us stop. Then he took lars out of the car and they took him away in their truck. He told m-me to tell you and james to come to the bay bridge at sunset if you want him back. No police."
"It's a trap." Said lara, " I shouldn't have let him leave the house this morning. Shit, shit, shit, shit ,shit!"
I sat down next to her and kissed her cheek. She pushed me away.
"James. This is serious, my friend told me what Dave would do to anybody he caught. James if we don't go...Lars is dead."
I said nothing. The room was silent. Eventually Jason spoke.
"What are we gonna do then?"
"I'm going to the bridge, alone." i said. Lara shook her head.
"I'm coming too!"
"No. You stay here, you'll be safer here. I'll get lars back!"
"How?" Said Kirk, "you can't fight all those heinchmen off!"
"I'll bring my gun." I said sternly.
"Stop talking shit James!" Lara yelled.
"What am i supposed to do then?" I said hoarsely.
"We're all coming too." Said kirk. Lara and Jason nodded. I felt a shiver run down my spine.

End Of Part 3
:o :o :o :o :o :o

oooo the plot thinkens!!!! by the way holy bahjeebus!!!! i can't wait for the next update on this tense or what!!!! i love this story too just so you know!!!

*Nods* I agree with Claire...Its great!!

Thanx gals!

Part 4

It was nearly sunset. The wind blew gently through my hair as i walked along the bridge. The tall metal structure glistened in the sunlight. Kirk and Jason were behind me and lara was next to me, holding my hand because i couldn't stop shaking. I felt for the gun in my pocket, i caressed the smooth sides of the barrel and it lured me into a false sense of security. We reached the centre of the bridge. Lara let go of my hand, i sighed with dissapointment. Jason rubbed my shoulder reasurringly and leaned against the railings on the edge of the bridge. Kirk looked at his watch. 6 o' clock. He looked at me nervously.
Lara stood beside me rubbing her bare arms to keep warm.
We heard footsteps behind us, we all veered round simultaneously. Lars was standing there, alone.
"Where's dave?" I demanded, "Is this a trap?"
He shook his head.
"Dave's gone..He left me here 5 minutes ago..." He croaked. We looked around in disbelief. Lars' knee buckled, he fell to the floor. Lara rushed to his side.
"Lars! What happened, what did they do to you?"
He lifted his t-shirt up to reveal several large purple bruises on his ribs. I looked at them horrified, then lars removed his t-shirt to reveal loads of red slashes on his back where he had been whipped with something, blood was trickling down his back. Lara got out a tissue and began to mop it up. The rest of us were too shocked to say anything.
"I thought dave was my friend..." Croaked lars.
"Don't speak lars, save your voice." Said lara softly. Lars shook his head.
"It's important. Dave took me into an abandoned sewer and the guards held me up against the wall. He approached me and asked me when i was getting married. I didn't trust him so i wouldn't tell him. He hit me hard in the stomach 'til i cried out in pain. He asked me again when i was getting married. I asked him why he wanted to know and he hit me. I asked him why i was here and he said 'so James can feel the pain that i do' and the guards threw me on the ground. they pointed their guns at me and said 'stay still' so i did. Then Dave took off his belt and whipped me with it until i couldn't move through pain. Then he poured vinegar into the open wound just to hear me scream. Then he kicked me across the floor and called me a traitor. Later on he brought me here and made me walk the bridge by myself even though i could barely walk. His car has left now. I didn't tell him anything babe, he's not gonna spoil our wedding."
Lara said nothing. She sat down next to lars and hugged him tightly. She kissed his forehead and muttered, "lets go home."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When we were at Lara's apartment me, kirk and Jason sat nervously on the settee waiting for Lara to finnish fixing lars up in the bathroom. I could hear him moan in pain as the anti-septic was placed on his wounds. I could feel the guilt bubbling up inside me, i couldn't even imagine how lara was feeling now.
The guys sat in silence for a while until kirk spoke.
"Why do you think he wanted to know when the wedding was?"
"I don't know..." mumbled Jason. Kirk looked at me, i could read the expression on his face, it was pity. He understood what i was feeling at that moment.
We heard a sigh coming from the doorway. Lara was there, tears in her eyes.
"How is he?" said kirk.
"Sleeping. His wounds are pretty deep, he suffered a lot of pain."
I closed my eyes, this was not what i wanted to hear. Lara sat next to me, i rested my head on her shoulder. She flinched and pushed me away. I looked at her sadly.
"Lara don't cry, please...."
"No james." She pushed my hand away from her cheek. Jason and kirk said nothing.
"James. This never happened okay?"
"What never happened?" I said dreading the answer.
"Us. We never happened, understand? Lars was nearly beaten to death for me. The least i could do is not cheat on him!"
"Lara, please. It wasn't your fault..."
She pushed me away yet again. I sighed deeply.
"You're not the only person who feels guilty. But we can't go back on it now..."
"Yes we can." She said abruptly.
I looked at kirk for comfort but all i found was a cold stare.
"Lara's right James. You can't have a relationship now. It's too late. Give lars some credit, he got beat up for us. I'm sorry Lara but you have to decide now. Before it's too late!"
"decide? What do you mean!" I demanded.
"Between you and lars...." Lara muttered.
I shook my head in disbelief, "No, No Lara i love you!"

End of part 4

Thanx 4 the comments gals! I really appreciate it!

Part 5

I stared into her deep brown eyes. A tear ran down my cheek she turned her head away and walked into the other room to check on Lars. Kirk gave me a hug and told me it was nothing and that i shouldn't worry about Lara until this whole ordeal was over. Jason rubbed my shoulder.
"It's O.K man, don't cry. You never cry..."
I wiped the tears from my eyes and stood up. Jason looked up at me miserably. I could tell he wanted to hug me but he couldn't. I walked to the door, wiped my eyes yet again, opened it and rested my back on the doorframe. It was lara's doorframe, her favorite perch. I felt for where the brittle timber frame had bent slightly under her weight. I closed my eyes and imagined that she was married to me and we both lived in her house. Nobody cared about the arranged marrige, they had all forgotten, even Lars. And dave didn't exist, he could never cause them trouble. He saw Lara infront of his eyes he smiled and reached for the bottom of her dress...
"JAMES!" Kirk was staring at him angrily, " What are you doing, we're in a woman's house!"
I looked down, my hand was resting on my crotch. That had been one hell of a daydream. It felt so real. I sat down on the sofa and put my head in my hands. Kirk rubbed my back reasurringly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was the day of the wedding. The big day. Dave had not done anything for a week and i was seriously nervous that he would. I was sitting in the church, anxiously twiddling my thumbs. Lara had not talked to me properly for a week, i didn't want her to hate me.
I looked at Lars jealously. He looked so happy, in his crappy little black suit. He had recovered from his injuries in time for the wedding. His hair was down, flowing neatly past his shoulders. He ran a hand through his clean shiny fringe and kirk(best man) tapped him on the back supportively. Traitor, i knew he'd changed his mind about the wedding and i was pissed off about it. He seemed to have the idea that Lara was safer with lars and that she'd be happier with him. He didn't know her as well as i did.
Bridal music started playing, i gulped and anxiously turned my head to the back of the room. There she was, long wavy brown hair flowing down to her waist, deep brown eyes glistening in the sunlight.
She had a cream hat on with cream flowers on the top. A tasteful cream dress and a smart cream jacket. Cream shoes and white tights and gold cufflinks. I loved the way the top half of the dress twisted around her body like a big cream snake. I was transfixed by her. She ran her hand through her shiny soft brown hair and sighed deeply. She saw Lars at the front and started walking. I couldn't help but giggle at her choice of bridesmaid. A goth girl with long black hair, tonnes of eyeliner, tatoo's and loads of piercings dressed in a bright white frilly dress. Jason shook his head and muttered, "nice one lara."
The ceremony began. I could see Lara's displeasure in being forced to marry, but she did her best to look happy for lars. I clenched my fist when Lars placed the ring on her finger and kissed her hand. She didn't look too pleased about it either.
They said their vows and when the reverand began to speak a reving sound could be heard outside. i felt a lump grow in my throat. The guests looked around nervously. The door swung open and bashed against the walls violently causing the plaster to crack. In the centre of the doorway was a large black motorbike. The owner of the bike took his helmet off and smiled at me menacingly. He pointed his finger at me and laughed. Then twenty or so heinchmen sprung through the doors with loaded guns.
"GET OUT!" Cried the reverand, "This is the lord's house! You cannot come in here with those things!"
Dave mustaine laughed evily and flicked his long ginger hair back.
"Sure, we'll put the guns down. But there's one little thing we want..."
Everyone looked around, concerned.
"Her." He finnished, and pointed at lara.
"NO!"I cried.
"SHUT UP HETFIELD! If she doesn't come with us right now then we'll gun down the lot of ya! lord's house or not!"
The room was silent. Lars hugged Lara tightly. "You're not leaving here with her." He said boldly.
A gun was fired at the ceiling. The chandelier came crashing to the ground causing shards of glass to shatter on the floor. Lara pushed Lars of him and began to walk along the floor. Carefully trying not to tread on the glass. She looked at me. Her eyes were dry.
"Lara." I said. She shook her head and smiled.
"I'll be alright." She promised. Lars didn't believe her. He ran after her but Dave shot at him causing him to duck behind the seats. Dave took lara's hand and kissed it. She winced. Then her slid the ring off her finger and threw it on the floor. She gritted her teeth as Dave grabbed her hand and led her out of the building. His riffle was pointed at her head.
"I get the message Dave. Now lets get this over with."
He smiled and chained her to the back of the bike. He made her sit down in a way so she couldn't move and started the engine.
"Drop the guns boys!" He yelled. The heinchmen walked out of the church and got on their bikes.
I looked at Lars, he was crying. I clenched my fists and hit the bench. I knew that he was doing this to hurt me. And this time he wasn't going to get away with it!

Part 6

I stroked the riffle longingly. Lars burst through the door. I was in Jason's apartment, the wedding had just finnished and i had left in a hurry. Lars gasped when he saw the riffle.
"James...what the fock is going on? We've called the police."
"What's that gonna do Lars?" I said monotonously.
"What do you mean?"
"Yeah, big brave husband. Calls the police to save his girlfriend when he can do it himself!"
"fioncee. And how the hell can i save her? You know what happened last week."
"I'd help you."
"what do you care about her safety?"
"Everything..." I muttered. He looked at me, puzzled. I loaded the gun and put on my jacket. I pushed him out of the way and marched to the door. A palm hit the doorframe infront of me. I stopped.
"What the hell are you doing?" Said a very angry kirk. I frowned at him.
"I know where that sewer is kirk. I'm going to rescue her."
He shook is head.
"One gun is not going to stand up well against about 50 is it?"
"I'm just gonna bust her out of there...."
"and i'm coming with you."
He lifted a black handgun from his pocket. I smiled and tapped his shoulder.
"Nice one kirk."
"You two? Against 50 heinchmen and dave mustaine?" Jason's voice sounded loudly behind kirk. He emerged from behind a corner with a fully loaded tommy gun and smiled broadly.
"You guys are crazy...." said lars.
"At least we're doing something about it!"
"I got beat up by him, i can't go back...."
"I GOT SHOT IN THE LEG BY HIM!" Kirk exclaimed.
Lars nodded. "Then i'm coming too." He grabbed his riffle from the cupboard, slung his ammo belt around his waist and nodded. Kirk pulled up his shirt to reveal a bullet-proof vest. The other guys laughed.
"I wish i had one of them." I said nervously as we exited the building.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We arrived at the dried out mouth of the sewer within 10 minutes. We could see the tyre marks on the inside of the entrance. We tiptoed inside and gritted our teeth, waiting to be hit by the smell. But we weren't, there was no smell. There hadn't been water here for years. We tiptoed further into the dimly lit sewer. The only light was coming from further down the pipe. We walked further until we heard voices. We all crouched behind a large pipe that led inot the main sewer and held our breath. We realised that the light had been coming from a torch held by one of the heinchmen patrolling the sewer. He marched right past us and turned around he ran the light along the pipe but we stayed very still and it moved on. We heard voices behind us, and a young man dressed in a black suit ran towards the guard.
"Dennis! Dennis! There's trouble in the control room! We need all the guards to hurry up and get there now!"
"Why?"
"Miss chang (lara) has escaped and knocked 6 guards unconcious! We believe she may be hiding in the control room!"
Lars gasped. Maybe a bit too loud. The light shone into our eyes. Kirk flinched.
"Looks like we have company Dennis."
"i have an idea..."
I raised my riffle. Dennis smiled and raised his fist, i could see he was holding something small and green. It was a grenade! Our guns couldn't save us now.
"If you fire at me, i'll drop the greenade and blow us all to hell! Now lower your weapons. I've got a job for you..."
We looked at each other nervously.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Swtching to Lara's point of view.
I sat quietly hiding in the control room. It was hardly a room. More like a hole in the sewer wall. I clutched the riffle tifhtly to my chest. I had managed to escape from Dave, but the guards were coming for me. I held the riffle tigher to my chest as i sat curled up under the desk. I didn't know why Dave needed all this paperwork. What exactly did he do? Was he now a fully time mobster? And what did he want me for? Was he gonna kill me? I shuddered.
I heard the door creep open and i froze. The riffle was loaded i pointed it towards the light streaming in from the door. To my surprise, it was not a heinchman standing there. It was Kirk.
He walked slowly inside, he hadn't seen me. I heard a gun being loaded behind him.
"Keep walking Hammett." A voice ordered. He gritted his teeth and twitched his leg. He didn't want it to be shot at again. He picked up a piece of paper from the desk and raised it up. The voice form the door cackled.
"It's good to have a second set of prints on a document. Now come on hammett, finger that document with your sweaty little filipino(sp?) hands. Kirk gritted his teeth and began placing his prints all over the piece of paper. I hesistantly touched his leg, he jumped a little. I squeezed harder, he realised it was me. I let go. He dropped the piece of paper to the floor and bent over to pick it up. He saw my hand resting on the ground. He fumbled with the paper and deliberately touched my hand. He picked up the paper and stood up. I heard the guard bekon him and he left the room. He glanced back at the table and mouthed the word, 'sorry'.
The door swung shut behind him. I suddely felt a cold pair of hand on the back of my neck. I gulped.
"Playing hide and seek are we?" Said a cold voice. I turned around and aimed my riffle at Dave. It was too late, he already had a grenade in his hand. I dropped the riffle and slowly stood up. He walked towards me slowly until our noses were touching. I shivered and walked backwards, he grabbed my waist with both hands.
"Lara...Lets not play games..."
I pushed him away feebly. He laughed. There was something about him that stopped me from fighting him off. I then realised that he had injected something into me when he touched my waist. I rubbed my hip slowly.
"Bastard.." I muttered.
He kissed my lips slowly, i couldn't pull away. He smiled at my displeasure. His cold hand reached up the back of my dress. I hit his stomach hard. He cried out in pain.
"Fighting the drug are we? Don't worry, it won't last long."
I grimaced and kicked him in the balls hard. He fell to the floor in pain. I ran to the door but it was too late. some guards were stood there holding Kirk, James, Lars and Jason. Guns were pointed at their heads.
"You will give Dave what he wants or these will pay with their lives." Demanded a guard.
"Lara...I'm so sorry..." Mumbled James. I could see the tears in his eyes. All i wanted to do was kiss him. I walked up to him slowly. I raised my hands to show that i wasn't trying to escape. He smiled hopelessly. I touched his cheek slowly.
"Lara we came here to rescue you...I failed...."
I put a finger too his lips then slowly removed it. I kissed him slowly, i could feel the tears running down his cheeks. I ran my fingers through my hair.
"I'll be alright James."
"No!" He cried. I walked to the door and looked back on them. They were all shaking their heads.
"No..." Mumbled James, as i closed the door behind me.

Part 7
Back to james' point of view

I struggled against the guards, but they were too stong. I cried out for Lara after the door was shut but she didn't come back out. Tears began to form in my eyes. Kirk struggled against the guards to help me but couldn't get loose. Lars looked confused.
"Okay, What the fock just happened?"
Kirk snarled at lars. The guards dragged us into another dead-end passage blocked off by steel bars. They locked us in there and left us to sit in our misery. I slumped to the floor and put my head in my hands. Kirk sniffed and wiped his eyes and Jason hung his head. Lars stood there looking at us, tears forming in his eyes. He wiped them away and yelled at me.
"WHY THE FOCK DID SHE SNOG YOU! WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON!"
I looked at him in vain. Kirk sank down next to me and rubbed my shoulder.
"You'd better tell him."
"Lars..." I stuttered, "There's been something going on between lara and i for a while now...you have to understand that she didn't want to get married to you. She likes you as a friend..."
"Why didn't she tell me..." He sobbed.
"She knew you loved her a lot, She was getting married to you anyway so she gave up on me. She left me on the day that you got beat up. She ended it..but we still care about each other. And now the wedding's cocked up..I dunno. I just really don't want her to get hurt...I can't bear the thought of Dave..." I sobbed pathetically and got angry at myself for crying. I hit the sewer wall hard and cried out angrily. But i was not as angry as lars.
"You bastard! WHY DIDIN'T ANYONE TELL ME!" He looked at kirk, kirk shook his head.
"I'm sorry..." He mumbled.
"Fock you kirk! And James you...."
"SHUT UP!" Cried kirk, unexpectedly. "WE CAN'T THINK ABOUT THAT NOW! DAVE'S IN THERE DOING GOD KNOWS WHAT TO HER AND ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS YOUR PERFECT LITTLE WEDDING! WE HAVE TO HELP HER BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!"
Lars said nothing. He stared at the ground.
"We gotta help her..." Moaned kirk.
"It's too late." said a voice from the other side of the bars. There stood lara, held by three guards with guns. They pushed her into the cell and she fell to the floor. Not wanting to get up. Her legs were badly bruised and her face was white. She saw us looking at the bruises.
"I fought him. He kicked me a bit. I hurt him pretty bad too, he came off worse than me. I beat him to the floor but it was too late. The drug was taking ovre and i had to give in..."
"No, Lara..." Kirk moaned.
I rushed to her side and sat her up. She could see i'd been crying and wiped my eyes. I held her tightly in my arms, she seemed frail. I rested her head on my shoulder and ran my hand through her glossy brown hair. She pulled away and touched my cheek.
"Lara..." I moaned softly, not caring that the guys were staring.
A tear ran down her cheek, i wiped it away. We sat there for at least an hour in each others arms. Kirk tended to her bruises and cuts with the tissues in his pocket and Lars sat next to her holding her hand. Jason sat by the bars keeping an eye on the guards. He pretended not to care for Lara's benefit but i could see the tears running down his cheek.
We heard footsteps echoing through the hall. It was Dave. He smiled menacingly at us, even though his teeth were broken and his arm was bust. He saw Lara hug me tightly and looked down in dissapointment.
"I hate you James. I really do." He said as he grabbed his riffle and aimed it at my head. We all looked at him, shocked.
"I'll fucking kill you james. HEAR ME! I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU!"

End of Part 7
:o :o :o :o :o

Oooo, i love this story it's so exciting! Can't wait for more :dance

OMG, that update was awesome. You left us with another cliffhanger :P, please post more of it soon, I really want to find out what happens next. Does Dave kill James?? Post more soon :biggrin

"Life it seems to fade away,
Drifting further everyday,
getting lost within myself,
nothing matters, no-one else."

The song played over and over again in my mind. I stared at James, he was scrared. He clutched onto Lara tightly, afraid i would pull the trigger. I looked at Lara, all i could see in her eyes was hate and malice. She hated me for what i'd done. I sniffed and lowered the gun. They all looked surprised. Tears came fast and thick, i cried and cried, but it didn't ease my pain. I felt evil, i felt like scum for what i had done. I dropped the gun on the floor, the sound echoed through the sewer. I looked up to the ceiling and back down to meet James' eyes. I hastily wiped my tears away and looked around, the guards looked dissapointed. I put my head in my hands and fell to the floor.
I closed my eyes and ran my fingers along the cold floor. My fingers felt something cold and hard. It was the gun. I opened my eyes and stared at it briefly.
I turned to face Lara.
"Lara...I know i hurt you.." I mumbled, " I'm sorry i did that..i'm scum..i'm nothing..."
She looked at me and realised what i was about to do.
"Dave! Dave no..don't there's no need..you can get help...the police will help you dave..."
I picked up the gun and pointed it at my head, tears running down my cheek. I sniffed and shivered but no-one came to help me.
"DAVE!" Lara cried, "Don't do it, you obviously need help. You can get that, people will help you..." She pushed James away from her and ran to the bars.
"OPEN THIS GATE, NOW!" She bellowed at the awestruck guards. James was still in shock that she actually cared about me even though i'd hurt her. The guards looked around helplessly, one of them bravely opened the gate.
She rushed towards me and snatched the gun out of my hands. She threw it to the other side of the sewer and held me against the wall. I broke down in her comforting arms. I'd never cried so much in my life. She hugged me tightly and massaged my back. It made me want to kill myself even more. But why? I thought for a moment. I wouldn't be like this if not for James, i wouldn't have hurt her if not for James. I pushed Lara away from me.
"Lara, i'm sorry..." I walked towards the gun. She stood there helpless, not knowing what to do. I picked up the gun and stroked it, then i turned around to see James hugging Lara to comfort her. I couldn't kill him...for her sake. I pointed the gun at my own head.
"Dave...please..." James begged.
"NO DAVE!" Cried Lars as i put my finger on the trigger.
"Goodbye..." I murmered softly, and before i pulled the trigger i smiled at Lara softly and saw her smile back through tears. But it was too late to go back now. I pulled the trigger, the last thing i heard was Lars scream.

The next day. from Lara's point of view...

I lay on the bed clutching the blankets tightly. I heard voices from outside. i recognised them as James' and Lars'.
Lars was yelling at James whilst bursting into tears at every oppurtunity and James was trying to calm him down. I could hear James plead with Lars to be reasonable but soon i could hear the door-knob turning. Lars stood there, he was red faced from crying and he looked thoroughly miserable. I sat up and bit my nail.
"That's a bad habit..." He said softly before sitting down beside me.
He looked into my eyes and stroked my cheek. I hated it when he did this, but i was too tired to protest.
"Lara, I gonna leave in a minute and i doubt i'll see you for another week...I just came to say goodbye and sorry i made you miserable."
"It's not your fault...." I started.
"No, it is. Goodbye baby...I'll miss being with you, but you deserve someone better than me..."
"He isn't better than you..."
"Lara, you're tired. Just go to sleep, and when you wake up you'll be lying next to James, and not me. It's the way it should be..."
I closed my eyes and heard him leave the room. I fell into a deep dreamless sleep, when i woke up i found James lying next to me. His head resting against my shoulder.
"Hey baby..." He mumbled softly, my heart melted.
"Don't call me baby." I said defiantly.
