Fiery rescue

Calvin's pov

I tried calling Chelsea back but she didn't answer, I figured she was pretty mad. After the second attempt I decided I should go talk to her in person.

 "I told you Calvin you handled it poorly.", said Jin looking slightly perturbed with me. "I know but if Laval has located her I have to move her for her own safety.", I said.

"But here's where she's made the most progress towards healing, she doesn't en cringe when that cowboy touches her." Said Jin "Her mental health is getting better and I don't want to her moved where she'll regress." We both bundled up and headed into the snow and began to trudge our way to the animal shop. We continued to argue about it until we reached the animal shop where we walked in.

"What brings you here?", came the gruff voice of the silver-haired cowboy that Chelsea had exposed herself to save yesterday.

 "I needed to talk to Chelsea in person, she's ignoring my calls.", I said.

"I'll go get her from upstairs," said the blond girl with a pony tail sitting on the couch.

"Well Calvin and Jin while we wait how about the two of you take a seat", said the shorter blond.

 "How come you needed to talk to her in person.", said the cowboy eyeing me his face a mask.

"We had some important matters to discuss," I began.

"And Calvin was being an insensitive jerk so Chelsea hung up on him." finished Jin giving me the evil eye.

"Like your any better at talking to women.", I said looking over at Jin feeling annoyed, while the cowboy continued to scrutinize us.

 "She was probably upset enough that she's ignoring you calls so she doesn't march over to kick your but." Jin said

Vaughn's P.O.V

I watched the two men argue over a reaction Chelsea had to a phone call which meant the reason Chelsea hadn't come down yet is whatever the call was about she was upset enough to need sometime alone. I wondered what it could be.My cousin rushed down the stairs and off into the back rooms frantic looking. I was surprised Chelsea hadn't come down yet, after a few more minutes my cousin came back in the room looking a little distressed.

 "Chelsea's not here.", she said with wet eyes.

"How did she get out with nobody seeing her?", said my aunt looking distressed.

"What's she thinking running out in this?", I said getting up and throwing my gear on to go out in the weather.

"Where do you think your going?", said Calvin as he grabbed my arm when I reached the door. "To find Chelsea, whatever you did made her upset enough that she's out in this storm by herself , some where. I heard a beep as he lifted his phone.

"Wait it shows a missed call from Chelsea and a voicemail, maybe I can find out where she is." he said.He picks up and dials his voicemail listening before going white while listening some more.He hangs up and looks at Jin.

"Jin your going to have to stay here and Vaughn I'm gonna have to ask you to stay as well.", he said as he pulled a pistol out and popped a clip into it.

"No way, I'm going to look for Chelsea.", I said growling.

"I got from the voicemail that she's at her house but from the background noise she's not alone.", he said looking like he was going to attempt to stare me down. "So wait here I'll get her back I promise."

"No I'm not gonna stay here, now you better tell me what's going on!" I said growling.

"The man who held her has a price on her head.", said Jin irritated."We came here to warn her that he found her thanks to that jerk Mark " continued the irritated Doctor.

"Jin!", said Calvin. "Anyways I've got to go!" said Calvin as he got his coat back on while a number of things were going through my head.But the thought of Chelsea, filled all my thoughts, and I knew at this moment that she needed me, and I couldn't bare the thought of loosing her again.

Wait Calvin let me grab my pistol, I'm coming!" I said. I grabbed my pistol and a bag of extra ammo.

"Are you sure about this?", said the blond-haired man.

 "I lost her once and I'm not about to let those savages have her.", I said as I grabbed my coat and threw it on.

"Come on I know my way around the island better than you anyway." I began to stalk out as he followed me.We trudged toward Chelsea's place and I noticed there was smoke coming from the chimney, I then noticed there was more smoke coming and I could her the sound of frightened livestock and cattle, That's when I realized that Chelsea's outbuildings were burning and there was a smoking curtain.

Chelsea's Pov.

When I awoke my vision was blurry at first, I figured I must have a concussion, when I heard a noise I will never forget from outside. The sound of my animals as they made pained noises I realized I was tied to a bed rail, but I still had my clothes. I looked out the window as my buildings began to catch fire.I needed to get out of here, I started to pull against the ropes holding me to the bed hoping to break the rail. I needed to save my babies.

 Then I heard a chuckle from the door, I looked to see Mark staring at me, a look of pure lust in his eyes."I've been waiting for this moment ever since I saw the videos of you.", he said with the creepiest grin I've ever seen as his buddy peeked in pouring gas on my floor before going to the other rooms I assumed.

 "Get away from me you freak!", I said staring daggers into him.He pulled a knife out and came up to me holding it to my face.

 "No first me and my buddy are gonna make every single one of our fantasies come true, with you", he said as he cut the remaining shirt I had on. He then leaned in to put his tongue down my throat I bit down on it making it bleed to be rewarded with a fist to my face.

"Stupid whore!" he shouted slapping me. I noticed a candle at the edge of the bed where I could kick it and knocked it on the floor where some of the gas began to catch, while I struggled against Mark. The other guy let out every swear word in the book as the flames started to grow.

 "Hey dude we got to get out of here no piece of tail is worth this.", yelled the other guy. I kept kicking at Mark and biting while he remained determined. I heard what sounded like fighting in the other room, while I struggled.As Mark fought with me and my clothes kicked at him as hard as I could as I struggled to free my hands.

"Stupid slut!", he yelled back handing me as I heard someone call my name, but apparently Mark was obsessed with what he was after. I didn't have a chance to look when another backhand came across, and as the blood came across my eye heard a growl that temporarily caught my attention as Mark was yanked off me and landed on the hot floor.

"Vaughn!", I shouted startled, as mixed emotions filled me as he began to fight with Mark. His eyes were full of fury as he and struggled with Mark

Vaughn's P.O.V.

When we got to the house smoke was beginning to come out the windows and I could see one of the creeps I'd ran into with Chelsea inside yelling something as he threw more stuff from Chelsea's burning house on the fire. Her out buildings were blazing and I could hear the suffering of her animals, Chelsea would be devastated but so help me I could care less if Chelsea was alright. Calvin signaled me to go around the back as he opened the front door so I did.I pulled out my piece and the scumbag turned around, while I had his attention Calvin came behind him and tackled him down and they began to tousle a little. I could hear a struggle coming from the next room.

"I got this punk you find the girl!", shouted Calvin as he put a long zip tie in his mouth while trying to keep the man on the ground."

"Chelsea!" I called as I opened the door to the room where the struggling noises were coming from. Now I've been mad before but never this angry.

I entered the room and there was Chelsea, her face covered in blood and bruises as she fought Mark, he back-handed her and I lost all control and let out a growl and ripped him of her throwing him onto the burning floor.I was going to see to it that this was one creep that never bothered her again. I heard her say my name at one point, as I fought Mark. The coward picked up a pistol and I drew mine putting myself between him and Chelsea. He pulled his trigger and I pulled mine, but his never came out, and mine landed in between the jerks eyes as he fell to the floor.I ran to Chelsea who was still struggling to get loose from her bonds in a burning house. I pulled out my knife and cut her bonds off, then I took my coat off throwing it over her before I lifted her up bridal style as I knocked out the big bay window in her bedroom so I could get us out it.

I held onto Chelsea and carried her as Calvin came up behind me dragging the second creep until we were a safer distance from Chelsea's farm, the animals screams had died down during the fighting and Chelsea's small frame was clinging to me as she buried her head in to my shirt. The snow continued to fall as I held my Chelsea tight, while Calvin made a phone call.After a little while some of the other guys on the boat came to take the surviving creep and clean up the carnage at Chelsea's farm. She shivered a little, against me and I realized she must be cold.

"Hey Calvin I'm going to take Chelsea back to the animal shop before she gets sick!", I shouted and Calvin gave me a nod showing that he understood. Like the night before I carried her all the way home where my aunt opened the door and quickly ushered us in.Jin rushed over to me and the clinging farmer and wanted me to set her down but she wouldn't let go of me so I sat down on the couch while holder her so Jin could look over her while she calmed down.

 Julia looked like she was about to give Chelsea a lecture about running off but I glared at her. Chelsea's had enough stress for one night.Jin began cleaning her face up first, cleaning the cuts and looking over the bruising, and then he prodded a lump on the back of her head where there was a little bit of matted blood, like someone had struck her from behind. He looked over her wrists which had a bad case of rope burn, eventually I eased her off my lap but let her have my hand while he continued to look over her, when I remembered her shirt was ruined, luckily Julia came in with a fresh shirt while he continued to go over other marks.I focused on Chelsea's face as her eyes swirled with a mix of emotions, but her eyes were still moist from tears so I reached up and wiped one away from her eyes and our eyes locked.

 The doc then looked me over, but luckily all I had were a few minor burns and bruises. But her eyes stayed locked on me.I was so afraid when I saw the flames that I'd lose her for good, when Jin was done fussing over us he sat down to make some notes but my eyes stayed locked with Chelsea's. I was so focused on her presence I'd forgotten anyone else was here.I took my free hand and put it around her as I gathered her back into my lap, still looking deep into my eyes.I was afraid of what she might be feeling about herself, but she didn't deserve any of this today, or any of the bad stuff from the past.

 I cupped the back of her head gently as her arms wrapped around my neck, while I leaned in kissing her. I was rewarded as she kissed back while I had my other arm around her waist. It was nothing like kissing young Chelsea, but it was better and I knew that despite everything I still loved the crazy girl.And almost loosing her reminded me know that without her I'd loose the one person that still truly understands me.

Chelsea's P.O.V.

I didn't want to let go of Vaughn, I was so relieved he'd come for me. And now he was kissing me, in front of everyone and I feel my insides warm up, as my heart leaps, while he pulls me close. When the kiss finally ends I gaze into his beautiful violet eyes swirling with emotions. Both of our faces were pink when we remembered that there were others in the room, and eventually Julia handed me a change of clothes and I went into the bathroom to take a shower and change.I let the hot water run over me as it massaged out the stresses from today, and I grabbed my puff and gave my body a hard scrubbing.

I was so thankful that I was ok, and even better all I had was a few bruises and scrapes, and I could handle that. After being imprisoned for so long earlier today wasn't so bad.I said a silent prayer, that things would work out and I could be with Vaughn. As I exited the bathroom in Julia's pajama's I found Vaughn's eyes following me as I sat back down on the couch next to him cuddling up while he put an arm around me and began to stroke my hair. I wished this moment wouldn't end, Mirabella had shooed Julia into the kitchen to help her and Jin was on his I pad.

As bad as things had been earlier, something about Vaughn being here I felt completely safe curled up against him as my eyelids felt a little droopy. Before I knew it I was off to dream land, and maybe it was just because Vaughn was here the nightmares stayed at bay...

Calvin's P.O.V.

As soon as I was finished with the surviving assailant I returned to the animal shop to find the sleeping farmer curled up against the cowboy. What a time for one of Angela's prayers to pick to try to come true, after talking to the surviving creep as soon as the storm was done I was going to have to have Chelsea pack whatever she had left because Laval knows she's here and alive so I need to move her somewhere he won't think to look.

I sat down on a chair across from where Jin sat, while the cowboy watched the TV on the couch his face expressionless, and his arm protectively around the content looking brunette. In the entire two years I've known the girl this is the most peaceful she's looked while sleeping, like she trusted that as long as he was there she'd be fine.

It's surprising that after a day like today the ptsd wasn't triggered, but apparently this strange man that she had risked her life for the other day, whom just today did the same for her was the balm she needed right now. I know he's only on the island 2 days a week though, so he can't be here all the time, to watch over her which makes moving her even more important.Thanks to that little creep Mark and his buddy she was no longer safe here alone.
