Daine smiled as she watched Daniel do the dishes. He looked so beautiful, his legs had healed pretty well after the accident. She'd lived without him for three months while he struggled to get back on his feet. It had been a painful process, one both of them would never ever forget. She was thankful it was all over now, even if Daniel might never play football again.
"What are you grinning at my little birdie", he turned to face her and his perfectly built chest shone like an armor of gold and his brown hair fell perfectly in front of his face almost covering his hazel eyes. "What? am I not allowed to admire God's wonderful creation?", the moment she said it she'd almost regretted.
"Don't you mention God Daine, where was this God when I was almost turned into sushi by a crazy ass Maniac, where was he huh!, she could see the rage in his eyes and the hate all over his person. He'd never been like this, he'd always been so loving and happy untill that accident where someone had tried to kill him, to burn him alive, it had been a nightmare and what was worse was that the culprit still hasn't been caught.
Daine walked up to him and kissed him slightly on the lips, then she pulled him close to her embrace whispering " It's going to be alright baby, it is". She could feel his breathing steady, she looked directly in his eyes with one hand on his cheek. She loved the man so much and couldn't bear to let anything happen to him. Whether God was real or not she'd begged him to always protect Daniel no matter what.
Quiet footsteps hurried down the corridor and hands covered with black gloves open the kitchen door slightly. Ah, there they were, the two of them looking as happy as ever. He was lucky to have escaped the first time, there was no way he was going to escape again this time.
Everything had been going perfectly as planned only for her to show up and ruin everything, call it luck or whatever, how she'd discover where he had been held was a mystery that this head couldn't easily wrap around and to think she came right on time when the deed had almost been done.
There was going to be no escape this time, no way, the deed was going to be done and he'll finally pay for all the pain he had caused, Daniel deserved to die.
"Why are you doing this to us!", Daine screamed at the top of her lungs with an anger that surprised her. It all happened so fast, they had been about to have dinner when suddenly the powered went out and something hard hit her on the forehead. She'd passed out only to wake up being tied to a chair with Daniel knocked out cold by her side. She couldn't touch him, he looked so helpless with blood running down his beautiful face, she couldn't tell if he was still alive and this made her so angry.
She hated feeling helpless, not being able to help the ones she loved. Her mother had died of a heart disease after her dad had died few months after she was born and her little baby too had died of cold few months after having her, Daniel was all she had and there was no way she was loosing him to this, killer for whatever reason, no way.
The killer didn't even pay her any attention, dressed in black from head to toe, he just stood facing the kitchen counter with a knife on the table carving something she couldn't see. Wait, it wasn't a he at all, she could see something that looked like breasts for as she turned to face her. What in the world did this woman want with her family and how the hell did she get past all the security.
"Hush darling hush, you don't want us disturbing the neighbors", She finally said with a voice that sounded like Daine grandma's, there was no mistaking it, this right here was an elderly woman. "Please, don't hurt us, we're willing to pay whatever you want, please just name your price, Daine said as tears ran down her eyes. At that same moment, Daniel wakes up and she could see the shock written all over his face.
He stared at her to be sure she was ok, she nodded to give him assurance. Then he faced the killer, "who are you and what do you want with us?", She was surprised to hear the calmness in his voice, he didn't look the least bit shaken, maybe something had indeed changed inside him. Weird laughter filled up the whole room, it sounded like a broken engine and it had an air of mischief around it.
"You sound every bit as arrogant as your father", the killer said bringing the knife close to his temples. "Of course you wouldn't know who I am, how would you? People like you don't know others all you know is to inflict pain on them and move on like nothing happened", there was no mistaking it this time there was pain in this voice. "Tell me what we've done to deserve such monstrosity!", Daniel yelled this time struggling with every ounce of strength he had left to get himself loose but the ropes were well tied, it was the work of an expert.
"Your father killed my little boy, he ran over him while he was outside the house playing football, he was just five. How the hell did his car miss the road and find itself all the way to my yard? Of course he was drunk, he was fucking drunk! and he killed my baby, now he's raised his own son to become a successful football player", she laughed again. "If not for your father my son would have still been alive and who knows, maybe he would have been in the same league as you", the killer said and walked towards the kitchen counter again and stood there trying to catch her breath.
Daniel couldn't say a thing, he'd been as shocked as she was. Whatever reason, it didn't warrant killing anybody, they'd have to escape somehow. Daine said a silent prayer, and hoped this time that he'll come to her rescue. "I could have killed him but no, where's the fun in that , he's already lived his life, instead I'll take that which he loves the most, his child", the killer said and took out a keg walked up to Daniel and poured it over him. Then she turned to face Daine, "you were lucky last time, this time, you're going to watch him burn to death".
She took out a lighter from her pocket, clicked it once and the fire came out majestically in full view then she removed her finger. Took of her mask revealing a face that was still beautiful except for the wrinkles of old age. She smiled broadly then walked slowly towards where Daniel sat tied up, you could see the horror in her eyes. Daniel screamed too, Daine couldn't hear what he was saying because she'd blacked out for a second.
The killer was now in front of them both lighter in hand, she clicked again but this time Daine came charging at her with a spear. Apparently, there was a sharp edge, a broken piece of the chair she was tied too that he yanked at till she was able to cut the rope lose. She took the killer all the way to the ground knocking the lighter off her hand. An heavy slap rocked Diane's face and then the killer was on top her in seconds, more slaps and punches landed on her face. She struggled hard and then kicked her off her body and then she raced towards the knife that laid some inches away from her but her hair got pulled back.
Then another punch hit her face, she was sure she was going to be knocked out cold but she still hanged on for her dear life and for Daniel. Both ladies struggled screaming hard and then Daine finally landed a punch that took the killer flying until she landed face first at the edge of the counter, knocked out cold. Panting and limping Daine picked up the knife and walked over to the love of her life sat wide eyed and shaken. Then she cut the ropes lose, immediately he came out free, he hugged her tightly and uttered the words I love you so much.

Daine sonri贸 mientras observaba a Daniel lavar los platos. Estaba muy guapo, sus piernas se hab铆an curado bastante bien despu茅s del accidente. Ella hab铆a vivido sin 茅l durante tres meses mientras 茅l luchaba por recuperarse. Hab铆a sido un proceso doloroso, que ambos nunca olvidar铆an. Estaba agradecida de que todo hubiera terminado, aunque Daniel no volviera a jugar al f煤tbol.
"驴De qu茅 te r铆es mi pajarito?", se volvi贸 para mirarla y su pecho perfectamente construido brillaba como una armadura de oro y su pelo casta帽o ca铆a perfectamente delante de su cara casi cubriendo sus ojos avellana. "驴Qu茅? 驴No se me permite admirar la maravillosa creaci贸n de Dios?", en el momento en que lo dijo casi se arrepinti贸.
"No menciones a Dios Daine, 驴d贸nde estaba ese Dios cuando casi me convierte en sushi un Man铆aco loco del culo, d贸nde estaba eh?", pudo ver la rabia en sus ojos y el odio por toda su persona. Nunca hab铆a sido as铆, siempre hab铆a sido tan cari帽oso y feliz hasta aquel accidente en el que alguien hab铆a intentado matarlo, quemarlo vivo, hab铆a sido una pesadilla y lo peor era que el culpable a煤n no hab铆a sido atrapado.
Daine se acerc贸 a 茅l y lo bes贸 levemente en los labios, luego lo acerc贸 a su abrazo susurr谩ndole "Todo va a estar bien beb茅, as铆 es". Pod铆a sentir su respiraci贸n tranquila, lo mir贸 directamente a los ojos con una mano en la mejilla. Ella amaba tanto al hombre y no pod铆a soportar que le pasara nada. Tanto si Dios era real como si no, ella le hab铆a rogado que siempre protegiera a Daniel pasara lo que pasara.
Unos silenciosos pasos se precipitaron por el pasillo y unas manos cubiertas con guantes negros abrieron ligeramente la puerta de la cocina. Ah, all铆 estaban, los dos parec铆an tan felices como siempre. Tuvo suerte de haber escapado la primera vez, no hab铆a manera de que volviera a escapar esta vez.
Todo hab铆a ido perfectamente seg煤n lo planeado s贸lo para que ella apareciera y lo arruinara todo, ll谩malo suerte o lo que sea, c贸mo hab铆a descubierto d贸nde lo hab铆an retenido era un misterio que esta cabeza no pod铆a envolver f谩cilmente y pensar que ella lleg贸 justo a tiempo cuando el acto estaba casi hecho.
Esta vez no iba a haber escapatoria, de ninguna manera, el acto iba a estar hecho y finalmente pagar铆a por todo el dolor que hab铆a causado, Daniel merec铆a morir.
"隆Por qu茅 nos hac茅is esto!", grit贸 Daine a pleno pulm贸n con una rabia que la sorprendi贸. Todo sucedi贸 muy r谩pido, hab铆an estado a punto de cenar cuando de repente se apag贸 la luz y algo duro la golpe贸 en la frente. Se desmay贸 y se despert贸 atada a una silla con Daniel desmayado a su lado. No pod铆a tocarlo, parec铆a tan indefenso con la sangre corriendo por su hermoso rostro, no pod铆a saber si segu铆a vivo y eso la enfurec铆a.
Odiaba sentirse impotente, no poder ayudar a sus seres queridos. Su madre hab铆a muerto de una enfermedad del coraz贸n despu茅s de que su padre muriera pocos meses despu茅s de que ella naciera y su peque帽o beb茅 tambi茅n hab铆a muerto de fr铆o pocos meses despu茅s de tenerla, Daniel era todo lo que ten铆a y no hab铆a manera de que lo perdiera por este, asesino por cualquier raz贸n, de ninguna manera.
El asesino ni siquiera le prest贸 atenci贸n, vestido de negro de pies a cabeza, se limit贸 a estar de pie frente a la encimera de la cocina con un cuchillo sobre la mesa tallando algo que ella no pod铆a ver. Espera, no era un "茅l" en absoluto, pudo ver algo que parec铆an pechos para cuando se gir贸 hacia ella. Qu茅 demonios quer铆a esta mujer con su familia y c贸mo demonios hab铆a pasado toda la seguridad.
"Calla, cari帽o, calla, no querr谩s que molestemos a los vecinos", dijo finalmente con una voz que parec铆a la de la abuela de Daine, no hab铆a duda, esta mujer era una anciana. "Por favor, no nos haga da帽o, estamos dispuestos a pagar lo que quiera, por favor, s贸lo diga su precio", dijo Daine mientras las l谩grimas corr铆an por sus ojos. En ese mismo momento, Daniel se despierta y ella pudo ver el shock escrito en su cara.
La mir贸 fijamente para asegurarse de que estaba bien, ella asinti贸 para darle seguridad. Entonces se enfrent贸 al asesino, "驴qui茅n eres y qu茅 quieres de nosotros?", Ella se sorprendi贸 al escuchar la calma en su voz, no parec铆a ni un poco conmocionado, tal vez algo s铆 hab铆a cambiado en su interior. Una risa extra帽a llen贸 toda la habitaci贸n, sonaba como un motor roto y ten铆a un aire de picard铆a.
"Suenas tan arrogante como tu padre", dijo el asesino acercando el cuchillo a su sien. "Por supuesto que no sabr铆as qui茅n soy, 驴c贸mo lo har铆as? La gente como t煤 no conoce a los dem谩s lo 煤nico que sabe es infligirles dolor y seguir adelante como si nada hubiera pasado", esta vez no hab铆a duda de que hab铆a dolor en esa voz. "隆Dime qu茅 hemos hecho para merecer semejante monstruosidad!", grit贸 esta vez Daniel luchando con cada gramo de fuerza que le quedaba para soltarse pero las cuerdas estaban bien atadas, era el trabajo de un experto.
"Tu padre mat贸 a mi hijo peque帽o, lo atropell贸 mientras estaba fuera de casa jugando al f煤tbol, s贸lo ten铆a cinco a帽os. 驴C贸mo demonios su coche se salt贸 la carretera y lleg贸 hasta mi patio? Por supuesto que estaba borracho, 隆estaba jodidamente borracho! y mat贸 a mi beb茅, ahora ha criado a su propio hijo para que se convierta en un exitoso jugador de f煤tbol", volvi贸 a re铆r. "Si no fuera por tu padre, mi hijo seguir铆a vivo y, qui茅n sabe, tal vez estar铆a en la misma liga que t煤", dijo la asesina y se dirigi贸 de nuevo hacia la encimera de la cocina y se qued贸 all铆 intentando recuperar el aliento.
Daniel no pudo decir nada, se hab铆a quedado tan sorprendido como ella. Cualquiera que fuera la raz贸n, no justificaba matar a nadie, tendr铆an que escapar de alguna manera. Daine rez贸 una oraci贸n silenciosa, y esper贸 que esta vez 茅l viniera a rescatarla. "Podr铆a haberlo matado, pero no, d贸nde est谩 la diversi贸n en eso, ya ha vivido su vida, en su lugar tomar茅 lo que m谩s ama, su hijo", dijo el asesino y sac贸 un barril se acerc贸 a Daniel y lo verti贸 sobre 茅l. Luego se gir贸 para mirar a Daine, "tuviste suerte la 煤ltima vez, esta vez, vas a ver c贸mo muere quemado".
Sac贸 un mechero de su bolsillo, lo encendi贸 una vez y el fuego sali贸 majestuosamente a la vista, luego retir贸 el dedo. Se quit贸 la m谩scara revelando un rostro que segu铆a siendo hermoso excepto por las arrugas de la vejez. Sonri贸 ampliamente y luego camin贸 lentamente hacia donde estaba sentado Daniel atado, se pod铆a ver el horror en sus ojos. Daniel tambi茅n grit贸, Daine no pudo escuchar lo que dec铆a porque se hab铆a desmayado por un segundo.
El asesino estaba ahora frente a ellos, ambos con un encendedor en la mano, ella chasque贸 de nuevo pero esta vez Daine se abalanz贸 sobre ella con una lanza. Al parecer, hab铆a un borde afilado, un trozo roto de la silla a la que estaba atada, del que tir贸 hasta que pudo cortar la cuerda. Llev贸 al asesino hasta el suelo y le quit贸 el mechero de la mano. Una fuerte bofetada sacudi贸 la cara de Diane y luego el asesino estaba encima de ella en segundos, m谩s bofetadas y pu帽etazos aterrizaron en su cara. Ella forceje贸 fuertemente y luego le dio una patada para sacarla de su cuerpo y luego corri贸 hacia el cuchillo que estaba a unos cent铆metros de ella, pero su pelo se ech贸 hacia atr谩s.
Luego otro golpe le dio en la cara, estaba segura de que la iban a dejar inconsciente pero aun as铆 se aferr贸 por su vida y por Daniel. Ambas damas lucharon gritando con fuerza y entonces Daine finalmente dio un pu帽etazo que hizo volar a la asesina hasta que aterriz贸 de cara al borde del mostrador, noqueada. Jadeando y cojeando, Daine recogi贸 el cuchillo y se acerc贸 al amor de su vida, sentada con los ojos muy abiertos y conmocionada. Entonces cort贸 las cuerdas, inmediatamente sali贸 libre, la abraz贸 con fuerza y pronunci贸 las palabras Te quiero tanto.
