She watched the bullets fall to the ground, clanging against the concrete. Her breathing was harsh, her eyes wet with tears and anger. She wished she had more power than him, just enough to defeat him. As he talked more and more the more pissed off she got. She refused to be his, she would rather be dead.<br/>'My parents loved me, they would have never traded me away for this gift that Drake gave,' she thought to herself growing more and more saddened by this new found truth. She looked at Drake as she cradled her mother's journal close. Her body becoming less rigid.<br/><br/>"My parents were innocent people..." She said softly, "Just two people that wanted something so bad that they would do anything for it, even be blinded to the point of giving the first born away. Just so they could have their dream come true." She watched Drake closely as she spoke, "They hid me, because they loved me! You were bent on taking me away and breaking their hearts when their hearts could not break any more without killing them! They guarded me with their lives, and a monster tore them down! WHO IS INNOCENT HERE?!" Her voice echoed as she screamed at him. For a moment everything was silent and she let out a deep breath.<br/><br/>"I swear for as long as I live I will never succumb to you, you may think I belong to you, but my heart tells me different. I am free from everything, even you. My life is mine and mine only." She stared at him a small defiance on her face, "And I will never be your mate..."<br/>She got up slowly as she put her guns back on her hips as she still held her mother's book. She soon stood tall again and faced toward Drake as he turned to walk away. Had he just said her siblings were alive? She edged toward him, and she saw him turn back to face her. She stopped, a slight confusion taking her over.<br/><br/>"Victoria...Ricky..." She said breathlessly as she looked down, "I thought they were dead..." She looks at him in with a slight shock to her eyes, wondering if she should believe him. "Please...take me to them..." She said wanting more than anything to be reunited with a part of her family.
