Elisabeth's head slams into the door for the fifth time today by the strong man.

"Who said you could go outside? You all up and about, willy nilly with god knows who!" Elisabeth's boyfriend yells as he tightly grips her wrist. "Are you cheating on me? Is there another guy?" He tosses her on the bed.

She balls up under the sheets silently crying to herself. She has been dealing with this relationship for the past six years. Everyone tells her to leave, but she always finds a way back to the strong man. She has to remind her friends and family that 'he's not always like that'.

The strong man grabs her feet and drags her off the bed onto the ground.
"You aren't going anywhere anymore! You don't have a job so you have no reason to be out!"

"I was with my mom. She's sick, Greg, I have to go see her!" She cries on the ground near the bottom of the bed.

"You are a liar! I know you're lying!" The big and tall tan man screams. He grabs the thickest pillow and wraps it around his fist. He punches her in her thighs with his cushioned gloves as she screams louder. "That doesn't hurt so stop screaming. Now go downstairs, I'm hungry." He grips her wrist with force to get her to stand up.

"I'm tired of this Greg. If you hit me one more time I'm leaving you."

"Come on Lizzie. You won't leave me. You have no one else to go to." He slaps her butt as she walks out the room.

"And bring a beer too." He yells from a distance. She stays wordless as she waddles down the stairs.

If only her mom was well enough to help her. She was a former FBI agent of the government until she became too unwell to do her job. She suffers from a virus she's had for a couple of months. She would have gotten all the high tech gadgets to end the abuse of Greg without any trace of anyone knowing it was her. Back when Elisabeth was in high school, she was getting bullied by two girl because of her short stature and voice so her mom sent agents to scare them from their windows. They would stand outside and stare at them and knock occasionally, but if someone else was in the room they would disappear. This is how strong and mandatory her mom was before she got sick.

Instead of making food for her boyfriend, she calls her mother.

"Mom, I'm done with him. How can I make this stop?"

"I could get some people to handle him, but you are my daughter. You know what to do." She replies with a weak croaky voice.

"Mom. You know I can't do that, I don't want to go to jail tonight."

"Elisa, You are my daughter, No daughter of mine is ever going to jail for defending themselves. I will be sending people to silently get him away from you. No harm will be done to him, but he could wake up in the middle of Mexico. So don't be alarmed if you see men in black sneaking inside your house. Just act normal for right now." She hangs up.

Elisa doesn't know what her mother can do with her powers. It's almost scary at times because you could have a normal day, and wake up in an unfamiliar place if you lied to her.

She is a very powerful woman and Elisabeth is waiting for her chance to be like her.

"Lizzie! Hurry up with the food or I'll come down there!" He yells from the top floor of the house.

Maybe the chance now is to be strong. Maybe her mother is right; this is his last time demeaning Elisabeth. She grabs a lighter and puts it directly over the fire detector until it starts to beep loudly.

"Greg there's a fire! Help me Greg!" She yells and he instantly runs down the stairs. Elisabeth holds a fire extinguisher as if there is a real fire. He sees a lone Elisabeth with her arms folded together with no fire at all.

"Help. There's a fire." She says in a low, mocking voice.

"So you made me come all the way down those stairs for no reason? You just don't learn do you?" He pushes her tiny body into the sink. She tries to hit back but is too weak from the previous beatings to do anything.

"Get a good look at me. This is the last time you'll see me." She calmly says, still in his grasp. She pushes him away from her and stands motionless a couple feet away.

"Shut up little girl, you can't leave me, you've got nothing going on with your life. You're broke. You're ugly. You're lucky you got me. All you have outside of me is the debt of keeping your mom alive. Come on, do you really think she's going to live? Give up and go make something to eat-"

"The only thing I'm making is an ambulance call, because I don't know if you're going to make it through me." She ends his talking.

"What are you going to do? You're lit-"

In one swift movement, she slams the fire extinguisher into this skull. He quickly falls onto the kitchen floor while blood pours from his head. She steps over him to get to her phone to call back her mother.

"Mom." She exhales loudly. "I did it."

"Oh no Elisa. I called work to get him away from you. What are they going to do if they see a dead body. Is he even dead?"

"I don't know. I hit him on the head with a fire extinguisher."

"If you were going to do something like this you should have called me. He deserved it, but I can't protect you if they see you murdered someone."

"This is your job, you can't help me mommy?" She sniffs.

"It's still our job to catch criminals and he is the biggest criminal. I can protect you right now. Come to my house and we can try to figure it out. Just stay calm and relax." She coughs vigorously.

"Ok. Bye mom, I will talk to you later tonight, I love you." She hangs up and runs to open the door. On cue as she opens her door, two men in all black suits snatch her and drug her with chloroform. She is thrown into the back of a truck.

"She's the sick boss's daughter. We are going to be millionaires if we turn her in to the games. That's what you get if you abuse your powers as an agent; traitor!"

The last thing she hears before completely blacking out.
