Author's note: Well, hello there everyone! This is the first new story I've written in a while and to make matters more interesting, this is my first Shugo Chara story I'm writing. For quite some time now I've been itching to write a story with an Amuto pairing but I never got around to it. Then I read a wonderful story by Jackthepumpkin 777. Please check out her story 'Before the Storm'. It's one of the best Amuto stories I've read in awhile. So because of this inspiration, I decided to dedicate this story to her. I hope like crazy that I do a good job with this story. Wish me luck! =D

Dedicated to: Jackthepumpkin 777

Thanks to: Jackthepumpkin 777 and my mom for giving me some good ideas to go by when I was having a horrible writer's block!

Warning!: Reminder, this is my first shugo chara story. I've seen the anime and read the manga and I love this parring to death. I may or may not write them OC. Also, please keep in mind that the topic of this story may be disturbing to some readers, so if you don't like the topic of domestic abuse, do not read this story.

Disclaimer: Don't own Shugo Chara, so don't sue me!

Chapter one

"Please! Don't!" a teenaged girl cried out as she ran for her life down an alley way. Behind her, a young man about a year or two older chased after her with something shiny in his hand. She briefly looked back as tears upon tears rolled down from her golden eyes. But he didn't give a damn. Only cold eyes locked on to her...his prey. She turned her attention back to what was in front of her, knocking down what ever was in her way to slow him down. She didn't know how much further she could run, didn't know how long she was running for. All she knew was that her lungs were at it's limit and her heart was pounding faster as it tried to feed her body with the oxygen it needed.

"I'm sorry Ren!"She screamed out as as continued to run for what she knew was for her life. "Please...please don't..."She cried in vain as she knew her request was only falling on deaf ears.

She looked around helplessly, hoping that someone, anyone, would be around to save her. However, since she escaped from his car in the back streets area he had driven to, it was only expected that no one would be around, especially in an alley way. She closed her eyes as she continued to run, thinking back to earlier that night. How could she not see it? How could she not notice that this time would be the last time? All those years...it's finally become a pattern. She did everything she could to be on his good side. But to no avil, she knew all too late that NOTHING she would do would get on his good side.

Before her thoughts could continue, she tripped, fell over and hit the ground hard. Out of her exhaustion from running, she simply didn't have the strength to get up and that was all he need to close the gap between them. He pinned her down by placing his knee on her back and grasped her pink shoulder length hair, yanking her head back. He slowly lowered his head down breathing heavily as his lips barely touched her ear. Her face twisted in pain as he held a tight grip on her hair.

"You think he's gonna come and save your ass?" He scoffed as he slammed her head to the pavement then yanked it back up again. "So what were you doing with him? Where you sleeping with him? Giving him some sort of pleasure?" He then flipped her over and punched her hard in the face. "WHAT WERE YOU DOING AMU?" He yelled in her face.

Her lips quivered as she could barely look up at him since her eyelids were starting to swell. She broke down in more tears feeling helpless. "N..No...h...he just..." She whimpered, "He just dropped me...home after p...practice!"

"LIER!" He screamed as he punched her hard in the stomach. Her eyes widen as her breath left her. She opened her mouth to speak, but no words could escape. She was finding it harder to breath. She screamed out in pain as he continued to beat on her and eventually went as far as violating her. He continued this for who knows how long and by the time he had finished with her, she felt like an empty shell.

There were no more tears and as he kept kicking and beating and screaming at her...she felt nor heard anything. She was fading in and out of contentiousness. For 17 years she's lived and what kinda life did she live? She remembered that just 2 years prior to this, she was a normal girl with lots of friends and a happy home life. Ren was the most popular guy in school and just about every girl wanted him. Typical. It was so typical. She's heard stories of this so many times, but when it finally happens to her how is that she couldn't see the signs? How couldn't she have stopped it from the start? Was she really that weak?

She looked up at the midnight sky unable to move, probably due to broken bones or just the lost of will power. Tears started up again as she saw ice cold hazel eyes staring down at her. She opened her mouth in hopes to say something...anything. She needed him to understand that nothing had happened. Taking the chance, she opened her mouth to speak in a very weak voice. "I..I had practice after school. Y...you weren't there...an...and I needed to get home. He only offered to take me home. T..that's all he did."

His eyes narrowed as he looked down at her and she almost regretted saying anything more. "Oh? So it's my fault that I wasn't able to pick up the princess? Like I don't have things that I have to do?" He reply with sarcasm. "You know our arrangement. I don't give a damn how long you have to wait, just wait for me at that damn school for me to pick u you up. But you decided to have your little fun with him and leave early huh? Probably did it with him in your house right?" He scoffed again.

He knelled down to look her face to face. He had an emotionless look on his face as he continued in an eerily cool voice. "You should be lucky I choose someone as ugly and worthless as you. I made you into something you never were and never could be. But if you think you could open your legs up to any guy who comes along, you're dead wrong." And without another word, The shiny object she saw not so long ago was held high over his head. She looked up in horror as it came slamming down towards her and all that could be heard in the darkness was a blood curtailing scream.

Meanwhile not too far in the distance...

"You must be kidding me! How could you think that was the best part of the movie?" Laughed a young woman with long auburn hair and green eyes. She was walking down the street with a male friend of her's as they were heading back to her place from the movie theater.

He looked back at her with a smirk on his face. His sapphire blue eyes seemed to hold a hint of playfulness in them as he looked away and continued to look straight ahead. "To each their own Lilia...to each their own."

"Ikuto, you really do have a warp sense of humor." She pouted playfully as she to continued to look forward as they walked. They were silent for a moment longer, but before either could utter another word, they heard a sound that they thought could only be heard in the movies like the one they had just watched.

The young woman stopped dead in her tracks as an alarmed look crossed her face. She slowly turned to look at her friend and noticed that he too had the same expression on his face. Her heart pounded against her chest as she now knew that it was not her imagination...she heard a blood curtailing scream. Like something out of a horror movie. As if someone was ripping out the insides of another human being. A frighten look crossed her face now as she moved closer to her friend, grabbing his arm and holding on tightly to him.

"I...Ikuto...w...what was that?" She whispered as she look up at him. He was silent for a moment, as if trying to figure out where the scream came from. The look on his face was a mixture of fear and confusion and a hint of curiosity. He looked down at his friend and gave her an assuring look.

"I"m not sure, but it sounded like it came from that alley up ahead. I'm going to go check to see what it was." With that he started to pull away from his friend, however she wasn't about to easily let him go. In her book when you hear a deadly scream you don't go anywhere near the source of it.

"Are you crazy? Who in there right mind goes to where they hear a deadly scream? What if it's a crazed killer and he just attacked his 10th victim? We should just call the police and let them handle it." She cried out as she kept her tight grip on his arm.

"True, so call the police and let them know what happened and where we are. If someone is hurt I think it would be the right to do something to help them." He said in a matter of fact tone as he pulled his arm away from her. He then turned to face her and placed both hands on her shoulders, a serious look crossed his face as he looked down at her. " Maybe it's not a good idea to leave you alone anyway, the streets around here are dark and who knows where the attacker is. Come with me, and call the police as we check to see what is going on."

She took in a deep breath as she looked around at her surroundings. He was right, the streets were bare and dark. They had decided to take the back streets to her house which was unsual. Also, she knew how stubborn he was so if he wanted to see what was going on, he would go and see it. The last thing either of them wanted was for her to stand alone when there's a potential attacker out on the streets. A pout crossed her face as she looked at him scared out of her mind. She nodded as she took his hand and together they headed towards the darkened alley.

There was hardly any light at all, so it made it really hard to see much of anything in front of them. As they continued though, nothing could be heard except for their footsteps and breathing. Her grip on his hand tighten when she noticed something odd on the ground a few feet in front of them. She stopped thus causing him to stop as well.

"Ikuto..." She whispered as she continued to look in front of her. Despite the dark, he could almost see that her face had gone pale due to what ever it was that caught her attention. He followed her gaze and soon his eyes stopped on what she was looking at.

He released her hand as he continued to move forward to examine what he saw. Without looking back he spoke just above a whisper. "Lilia, call the police now."

"Ikuto...w..what is it?" She asked in a panic as she pulled out her cell phone and stared to dial the number for the police.

As he inched closer, what he saw next drained the blood from his face and his eyes widen in pure horror. He screamed as he jumped back. Looking up at him with blank, lifeless eyes was a young girl with pink hair and golden eyes.
