"Is there anything you want to say?"
He drops his hand from my mouth as tears start to fall from my eyes.
"Oi bitch why are you crying? Are you scared or something?"
He looks into my eyes as I weakly nod, letting my head drop down and away from his stares.
"I'm horrified.."
I whisper, my voice becoming dry as more tears drop onto the wooden floor.
I feel a hand grip my chin hard and harshly lift it up.
"What was that?"
I take in a shaky breath as I repeat my words to him.
"I'm horrified of you Calem.."

--------------------------------

He sighs and lets go of my chin, his eyes calming.
"This is all your fault you know. You're the reason you're making me do this. I have to do this for my parents. This is what they wanted. And now that they can't do it themselves, I have to do it for them." "W-what did I do?" "You know what you did Serena! You were
idiotic, arrogant and a snotty bitch! My parents want you dead and I'm going to do it for them!!"
My eyes widen as his fist makes contact with my stomach, blood flying out my mouth and running down my chin.
He wiped a bit of blood off his face and stared into my eyes, his grin returning.
"Are you ready to be punished Serena?"
Before I could even attempt to reply he throws another hit into my jaw, banging my head against the door on every hit.
"Let's leave as many bruises as possible!!"
He throws more punches at me, breaking my body even more.

I can't even feel the pain anymore..
My body's gone numb..

"Oi! Look at me!"
I leave my head hanging down, too weak to lift it.
"I said look at me!!"
He slaps me on the cheek, a searing pain running up the side of my face.
He grabs my jaw harshly, a growl leaving his lips as he looks dead into my eyes.
"What the hell is wrong with you bitch! Don't you understand me you stupid thing!!"
He grabs my wrists tightly and throws me across the room, my back hitting a table as the sound of items falling to the floor echo around me.

I need Ash.
I need his warm arms to wrap around me and keep me safe.
I need him to save me from this monster.

Because I can't beat it on my own..

He walks over and stamps on my stomach, winding me and leaving me struggling for air.
"How does it feel Serena?! How does it feel to be beaten up?!"
He kicks side till a whimper leaves my lips, making his grin widen even more.
"It's great when you show me that you're in pain, because then I know I'm doing my job right."

He stares down at me, moving himself closer as he places his finger on my lip, tracing the outline.

Please don't..
Please not now..
Please..

Another whimper leaves my body as a tear runs down my face.

I can't do this..
I don't want to be here..

Ash..
Save me.. please..

He grins at me before his lifts my body and smashes his lips roughly against mine.
I whimper into his mouth as his hands run over my body.

Please stop..
I can't handle this..

His pulls away, his eyes staring down at me.
"I need more of you."
As soon as those words leave his mouth I feel my back slam against the wall as his lips touch my neck.
My breath hitches as he bites down, leaving teeth marks in my pale skin.

He won..
He beat me..

I bite down on my lip as he starts to suck on my neck, his lips leaving marks along it.
I let out as whimper as he makes his way down to my collar bone, leaving more horrible marks.

I'm too weak to fight him..
I'm too weak to beat him..

He pulls back and looks into my eyes, hunger clearly showing in his.
"I would love to kill you know but I want to use your body before that. It's sounds like fun, doesn't it?"
He whispers into my ear, gripping my thigh roughly and making my breath hitch.
"It was bad of Ash for making you wear such showing clothing wasn't it? It's a shame that I may have to ruin it to get it off."

He will always win..

He pulls me into another rough kiss, his teeth biting down on my already sore lip.
His hands make their way down to my hips, pushing me forcefully against the wall.

Calem doesn't love me..
He doesn't care about me..
He just uses me for his own purposes and nothing else..

His hand snaked around my back as he lightly pulls on the zip.
"Are yo-"
He's cut off by the sound of his phone buzzing.

Thank god..

He pulls away, scowling at his phone as he picks it up.
"What the hell do you want?!"
I hear him scream into the phone.

This is my chance to escape..

I glance up at the door.
No. That's locked.

I could try that window but it's a bit small.
I didn't even realise it was alright night time either.

Suddenly I see a shadow in the window.

Dark eyes..
Spiky dark hair..

It's Ash..

I sigh in relief.
He's come to save me..

The door flies open, small chips of wood flying everywhere.

I hear a laugh as someone is suddenly thrown at me, a cough leaving their lips.

"A-Ash!"
I scramble over to his body, seeing blood drip down his face from a gash by his eye.
"Get the hell away from him!!"
I feel a hand cover my mouth as I'm thrown away and hit against the wall again, a loud whimper leaving me.

I see Ash weakly get up, his eyes covered by his hair.
"Don't you fucking touch her like that.." "Oh yeah? You gonna stop me 'knight' and save your 'beloved princess'." "Yeah, I am." "Sure."
Calem's grin widen as he catches Ash's fist, punching him hard in the stomach and sending him to the floor.

I rush over to Ash, blocking the kick Calem sent with my back.
"S-Serena.." "Y-you can beat him Ash.. I-I'll protect you.. like you protect me.."
I smile weakly at him as I block another kick, a tear running down my cheek.

I don't care if it hurts.
Ash does so much for me.
And now I have to return the favour.

Ash gets up, wiping a bit of blood trickling down his cheek.
"You hurt something precious to me, so now I'm gonna hurt you."
He dodges the punch from Calem, kicking him hard in the shin and making him fall to the floor.
"You don't ever touch Serena like that. She doesn't belong to you, she never will. Got it?" "N-no she's min-"
He cut off by a punch to the jaw, making him stumble to the side and fall over.
"Don't touch her ever again."

He bends down to me, holding my cheek gently.
"Oh Serena.."
I grin weakly at him and he smiles back.
"Thankyo- Ash!"

I jump in front of Ash, using the last of my strength as the burning metal touches me, searing my skin.

It hit 20k!!
