Emily walked down the empty hallway, everyone was already in her first period class and she was already twenty minutes late. "No use going to class now." She thought to herself.  The further she walked the more awkward she felt, almost like someone was watching her. Wham! Her body was forced into the brick wall of the hallway and an uncomfortable weight was forced on her keeping her against the wall.

"What? Not happy to see me Darin'?" It was Will, his forearm was up pressed against the raven hairs throat hard enough to keep her in place but weak enough to let her breath.

"Get off me!" She hissed attempting to pull his arm away.

Will hardened the pressure on her throat causing Emily to gasp. His free hand moved its way up to her hip and rest there. "We need to talk first."

"What do you want?!" She harshly whispered.

"For your boyfriend to stay away from JJ." He laughed.

"He's not my boyfriend!" She shot back attempting again to push her step brother off of her.

Will just chuckled at her failed attempts. "No use fighting back I always win." The hand that rested in her hip slowly started trailing it's way down to her thigh stopping to give it a seductive squeeze causing Emily to completely stop moving. "You know how this works Darlin', as long as I have JJ you have nothing to worry about. Just keep the pathetic kid away from she and I and you will have no problems. Got it?"
Emily nodded her head vigorously not trusting her mouth to speak.

"Good, I'll see you at home." He let go and hurried down the hallway disappearing around the corner.

Emily didn't bother going to class after that instead she drove home and locked her self away in her room. God! She hated that room it was so light and happy! She wasn't Goth or Emo or any of the other stereotypes people (like her mother) liked to place her in. It was just her insides were all screwed up. Not her organs or blood but her soul and emotions. When she was five her father had been mugged at killed on his way home from work. He had stopped at a connivence store to pick up Emily her favourite chocolate bar because he had been so late getting home and wanted to apologize for missing her dance lesson. Her mother barley gave herself time to grieve before remarrying three months later... Which quickly ended. Elizabeth Prentiss had been married four times over before meeting William Lamontange senior, with their marriage going on three years made him the longest lasting man since Emily's father. Emily didn't mind William he was nice, and he even tried to bond with her when they first met but it's not easy dealing with a messed up fourteen year old... At least this one had actually learned her name. The third one referred to her as "girl".

Their first family vacation together ended in tragedy, Elizabeth had brought them all to Rome for a vacation while she worked. Emily had met some really interesting people while she was out there... And fell pregnant... Scared and alone she felt like she had no other option and went to her step brother and his friend Matthew for help... Will looked down on her making her feel worthless and pathetic while Matthew had felt compassion for the poor teen and offered to help her.  She had no idea where he was now after their adventure together Matthew lost all faith in his religion and was taking quite a tumble with life. Every once in a while she receives a vague letter from him insisting he's alive and well.

Once they returned home things only got more screwed up then they already were Will had turned Emily into a bizarre sexual fantasy. Maybe it was because he was aware she was sexually active or maybe it was because she would never possibly want him but either way he liked it.

Emily spend countless times trying to confide in her mother what was going on but Elizabeth never had time to listen and William would never believe something like that about his son... He barley believes what went on that night in the basement...

And that was another thing... Emily knew exactly what went on that night... She didn't have to be there she just knew... Cause she was one... The girl in the basement... She was the first... And as long as there are others she would be safe...
