Chapter One
Tessa's p.o.v.
It's been two year's since I've seen Stefano. The last time I saw him was the day he moved out of state to go to College. Even though we keep in touch I still miss being able to see him. That's why I'm here in Volterra. Stefano and I agreed we would both drive here to meet instead of one of us driving all the way to see the other. As I drove through town looking for our meeting place I began to wonder.
It's been awhile since I've seen him. What if I can't recognize him when I get to the cafe. Oh, that would be so embarrasing. Suddenly I spotted the cafe and turned to enter into the parking lot. I found a vacent spot on the far left side of the packed lot. I guess this is a popular cafe for there to be so many people eating here. They must serve outstanding coffee and food. I turned off the engine and opened my car door to get out. After locking the door I started walking towards the Coffee Shop/Cafe. When I got there I opened the metal and glass door and walked inside. My senses were immediately assaulted by the wonderful smells of Coffee, pastries, soups and baking bread; which I assumed were for the sandwiches I saw an elderly business man to my left happily enjoying.
As I glanced around the shop I noticed a lean handsome man with short light brown hair sitting in the corner. It was Stefano and he had a gote. This surprised me as he had never liked facial hair before. His beautiful Hazel eyes seemed to shine brightly as he spotted me walking towards him. When I arrived at the table he stood up and embraced me in a warm and friendly hug that I had sorely missed these past two years.
"Ah, Tessa, my little Tessa it's so good to see you" Stefano said ernestly as he put me down.
"Yes, " I agreed " it's been far to long since we last saw each other."
"I know and I'm sorry about that but I have been so busy with school and work." he sighed tiredly. "I should have contacted you long ago to schedule this get together. Can you forgive me?"
"Don't be silly, Of course I forgive you. It's not all your fault. It's mine as well" I said.
Yes, I had missed this. Being with Stefano was so easy. We could talk about any thing or nothing at all and still enjoy each other's company. That was the mark of true friendship. Well, along with always being there when needed. "So, Stefano tell me how College life is treating you ?"
"I'm really enjoying it. It is much better than High School ever was. I don't have my first class until 9:00 am which I really like. I always hated getting up early to make it to school on time."
"Yeah, I know what you mean. Do you remember how much I hated High School?" I questioned.
"You hated all the drama and how the kids were clumped together into different groups, (Preps, Nerds, Freaks, jocks, etc.) and you really disliked the Popular kids when they picked on the others simply because they felt by doing so it made them look cool." he stated.
" The great thing about College is that the people are more accepting of each others differences. Plus, the classes are a lot more interesting, don't you think?"
"Um, not all of them. Some are to hard while others are boring. So Tessa tell me are you still working as a Bartender?"
"Of course, I make really good money. I certainly wouldn't quit. What about you, are you still a waiter?"
"Unfortunately, yes."
"Why unfortunately; I thought you were making good tips?"
"I am but I hate waiting tables. I want to do some thing more with my life. That's why I can't wait until I'm a Dentist."
As I looked at him sitting there with that morose expression on his face I felt bad for him. I wished he could be content knowing that one day he would be doing some thing better with his life. Of course he'd always been this way. If he decided he wanted to do some thing and was then unable to complete it, he would act sad and sulk for a while until he found a way to get what he wanted. This usually was accomplished with my help.
"So, Stefano what are we going to do today?"
"I was thinking we could go to the movies. There is one I've been wanting to see."
"Sure, sounds good to me" I agreed.
We left the Coffee Shop and drove to the Movie Theater. He bought the tickets, drinks and popcorn. Then we walked into the theater room that would be playing our movie.

When the movie was over we exited the noisy theater room and threw our trash in the large plastic garbage can.
" That was a really good movie. I was surprised that Hellboy and the other three quit. I hope they make a Hell boy 3. So what did you think of it ?'
" Well, to be honest I thought it was only ok. I found I was able to predict what was going to happen next through out most of it. I did however enjoy the creature's that were in it." I replied frankly.
We walked out of the movie theater and talked all the way to the parking lot. When we got to our cars, which were parked side by side, I saw Stefano look at his watch. I began to feel a little sad knowing I probably only had an hour or two left with him before he and I would have to start heading back to our homes.
"Say, Tessa it's about five what do you say we go and get something to eat ?"
"Sure that sounds great."
"Do you want to eat anywhere in particular ?"
" I don't really know, since you've been here before why don't you pick someplace you like." I vocalized happily.
We each got in our cars and drove to a very nice steak restaurant. We tried to find parking spaces next to each other again but the lot was so full we had to park at opposite ends of the restaurant. We meet at the entrance to the restaurant and went in. It took twenty five minutes before we were shown to our table.

Two and one half hours later we left the restaurant completely satiated. Once outside I turned to look at Stefano.
"Stefano, promise me that from now on we will meet up every once in awhile ok?"
" I promise and we'll have to be better about keeping in touch. A dozen e-mails and a few phone calls is not enough communication for us."
" Alright, from now on we'll call and e-mail each other more, I got it."
I gave Stefano a long Bear hug. Of course I had to stand on my tiptoes because he is 6'1'' and I'm only 5' 3'' . When we let go of each other we said our farewell's and I started walking to my car. The cool night air was starting to give me goosebumps. As I was on my way to my car I thought I heard something so I looked around. I didn't see anything.
"Must be my imagination."
Just in case I was wrong I started to walk a little faster. When I got to my vehicle I began to dig in my purse for my keys. Once I retrieved them I was about to press the unlock button when I heard a mans voice.
" My, my aren't you a pretty little thing."
I looked up to see a man standing by the hood of my car. He was tall and muscular with a shaved head and he was smiling down at me. He was very intimidating.
" Who are you?" I stammered.
" Honey, you don't need to know who we are. You just need to do everything we tell you."
I looked behind me to see another man. This one was standing by my trunk. The one who had just spoken was shorter then the other by about two inches and was a bit on the hefty side. I knew I was in trouble. I wouldn't be able to get away or fight in this cramped little space between my car and the silver sedan next to me. So, I did the only thing I thought would help me. I screamed. The second I started though the men were on me, the taller one had clamped his large hand over my mouth while looking me in the eyes.
" Now darlin, don't do that you'll only make things harder for yourself. "
Then the other man started to laugh which sent chills up my body.
" Yeah, Honey you wouldn't want us to hurt you now would you ? " asked the shorter man.
I shook my head no, knowing full well these men intended to rape me and they might even kill me afterwards.
" That's a good girl. Now if you do exactly as we say we'll let you go when were through, with no harm done. " voiced the taller one.
The men roughly dragged me to their parked KIA and opened the trunk to get a rope and bandanna. They used the rope to bind my hands behind my back and my ankles together. The bandanna was used as a gag. When they were finished they unceremoniously threw me in the backseat. Once the men were both inside the vehicle they started the engine and took off.

As they drove I kept hoping a policeman would pull them over and come to my rescue, but to no avail. I had decided I was going to do my damnedest to get away from these two men. No they weren't men, real men didn't do things like this. These guys were monsters, yes monsters were the ones who did despicable things such as this. I would continue to fight them with every thing I had, because I'd rather die then have those two touching me . Suddenly the car stopped, we were deep in the woods by now. The trunk was popped open and the two monsters got out of the car. I could hear them getting things out of the trunk when it was suddenly slammed shut. Then the backseat door was jerked open and the shorter guy began to pull me out of the car. I scooted back as far into the seat as I could so as to break his hold on me but it didn't work. He eventually pulled me out of the backseat.
" Honey your a real fighter, I like that in a women. " he drawled.
The tall one just laughed, God how I hated these guys for finding my feeble attempt at fighting both humorous and a turn-on. They dragged me deeper into the woods which was slow going considering how much of a fight I put up along the way and with all the branches I tripped over. The men didn't seem to mind one bit; on the contrary, they enjoyed my struggles to get away.
" This is far enough, I'll set up the stakes. " stated the tall one.
Stakes, what do they need stakes for? Are they going to use them to torture me once their done raping me ? If their going to kill me why bother with the other things, why not just get it over with?
" All done, bring her over here."
I fought uselessly as the short man dragged me to his partner. I'd used all my strength up and now the best I could do was trip purposely in hopes of stalling the inevitable. I saw that three stakes had been driven into the ground forming a large triangle. I didn't have time to make sense of this as both men suddenly pushed me to the ground and began tieing me to the stakes with my hands at one stake and one foot at each of the other two.
" Let's get started." the men said to each other.

When the bastards were done and had zipped up there pants they both looked down at me with a sickening grin.
"Bye Honey it's been fun. " the short one stated sweetly.
Then he pulled out a handgun and proceeded to shoot me. I felt a hot searing pain rip through my body. I was surprised when I realized I was still alive. I looked down to see the reason for this. He had shot me in the stomach and not the head which would have killed me instantly. I was in excruciating pain and felt like I was going to pass out from the intensity of it.
" You've got about fifteen minutes until you die , they'll be painful but you should make the most of them and thank us for giving it to you. " the tall one informed me.
The two monsters turned and left leaving me to remember one of my mother's greatest fears. She had been afraid she might have to suffer the pain of outliving one of her children. At the time I'd told her not to worry, my sister and I were both strong and healthy. As I thought of my Mom and little sister I couldn't help but cry harder. I'd never see them again, never see my sister graduate High School or College. I'd never see her fall in love, get married or have kids. Then I realized the same was true for Stefano and all my other friends and family. That I too would never get married, have kids and live happily ever after. Then I heard a noise.
" I wonder if those basterds have come back to finish the job? " I contemplated.
I suddenly saw someone standing above me wearing a dark gray hooded cloak. They slowly lifted the hood to revel one of the most handsomest men I had ever seen. He had ghostly pale skin, golden curls and black reddish eyes that seemed to penetrate into my very core.
