Chapter 1: The Departure

"Look I'm going to straighten this all out" Sebastian assured his two companions as they all arrived at the Valmont home. "You better Valmont, because if your right about Kathryn, she has a lot of explaining to do"  Ronald sneered.

This should be interesting. Kathryn would finally have to atone for her crimes and he would happily watch her squirm. It wasn't bad enough that she almost ruined his relationship with Annette but she also almost got him killed by sending Ronald after him telling him about Cecil and god knows what else. Yes he was looking forward to this.

After Sebastian had calmed down Ronald, he and Annette had talked some. She forgave him for what he had done, but Kathryn was another story. Annette hadn't said much on the way home. In the short time that he had known her he had never seen her as angry as she was now. "Yes I have a few things I would like to say to your dear sister too". Sebastian nodded in agreement as they entered the house.

His father and step mother were sitting in the living room laughing about something. "Dad, Tiffani your back. I wasn't expecting you so soon" Sebastian asked startled. He hadn't expected this, but quickly realized it could work in his favor. Kathryn would now have to answer to her bitch mother as well as everyone else. He knew this would only heighten the delight of Kathryn's down fall.

"Yes we left a message with your sister last week. Didn't he tell you? Oh well at least we got to see her before she left" Tiffani smiled.

"Left? Where did she go?" he asked trying to keep his voice calm.

"She left for Paris on that student exchange program. She'll finish most of senior year over their. I'm surprised she didn't tell you Sebastian, what with you two being so close and all. She's been planning this all summer". Sebastian took all this information in. All summer. That little bitch. She thought that he couldn't hurt her if she wasn't their. Wrong.

He looked over at Annette who just shook her head. Sebastian sighed "No she didn't tell me it must have slipped her mind".

"Oh well I'm sure she'll be in touch. She left you something but she wouldn't tell me what it was" Tiffani laughed. "It's waiting in your room".

"Alright. I'll go take a look" he gestured to Annette "Anyways, I'm glad you guys are home. I wanted to introduce you to my girlfriend Annette Hardgrove".

His parents exchanged somewhat startled glances. Girlfriend. This was new. His father smiled warmly over at her "Well this is unexpected. It's nice to meet you Annette". "It's nice to meet you too" she said.

"I'll be right back I have to check on something. Oh and this is Ronald" he said gesturing back at him as he left the room.

Sebastian walked into his room and noticed a vanilla envelop sitting on his desk with a note attached to it. He opened the note and inside it said

 "My dearest brother, Roses are red Violet are blue if you rat me out, I'll destroy you" -Love Kathryn.

He smirked somewhat at her confidence. She thought that by running away she could avoid what he had in store for her. She was wrong. After what she put him through he would happily destroy her. He opened the vanilla envelop and took out the video tape sitting inside. He stared at it for a second wondering what could be on it before sticking it in the VCR.

At first nothing appeared but his room with no one in it then soon he and Annette wandered into the frame. They were talking softly then kissing before they moved over to the bed. Oh no she didn't. He realized what she had done. The videotape showed him and Annette's first time together. He wanted to scream. How could she do this? His stomach suddenly turned when he thought about Kathryn probably viewing this tape over and over again most likely laughing her head off.

He realized what she meant in the note. It was highly probable that she had made copies and their wasn't a doubt in his mind that she would use this to hurt Annette. He stared at the frozen image on the screen debating what to do. I can't tell Annette. It would kill her if she realized that her first time had been viewed by Kathryn and go knows who else.

Annette came into his room suddenly. He quickly shut off the video. "So is it that bad?" she asked a smile of her lips.

"What?" he asked trying to sound normal.

"What ever your witch of a step-sister left for you" she started walking towards the desk and reached for the envelop. He quickly snapped it back up.

"It's nothing. Just her usual threats" he picked up the note and handed it to her. She studied it for a second and shook her head "Does she really think this is going to stop us from exposing her. I mean after everything she's done".

Sebastian sighed "Annette I don't think I thourghly explained how dangerous Kathryn is when crossed. I think we should just leave it alone"

Her mouth dropped open a little "Are you serious? You just want to let her get away with it?" He walked over to is bed "No I just don't want you to get hurt, and trust me if we try to hurt Kathryn she'll just do something ten times worse in retaliation. I think we should just let her be. I mean she's thousands of miles away for Christ sakes. We're free of her for the time being"

Annette walked over and sat next to him. She leaned her head on his shoulder "I suppose your right. It will just bother her more to know that we are happy and she didn't win"

Sebastian sighed relieved that she agreed to drop this for now. He would just have to wait to get his revenge on Kathryn.

Ronald walked into Sebastian's room. "So are you going to explain what's going on" he demanded. Sebastian raked his brain trying to think of something that would keep Kathryn out of trouble and him from getting his ass kicked. "Ronald I made a mistake. Kathryn wasn't to blame. It was me. I slept with Cecil. But I didn't hit Kathryn I don't know why she told you that. She must have been just pissed that I was with Annette."

Ronald stared at him hard for a second before nodding "Oh.ok" he then walked up to Sebastian and punched him across the face sending him crashing on the bed. "You tell me you fucked my girlfriend and I'm suppose to be ok with that. No I don't think so. If I were you I'd watch my back" He then left the room slamming the door behind him.

Annette leaned over Sebastian concerned. "Are you ok?"

"I'll be fine. Ronald is not as tough as he thinks he is."

"Let me get you some ice" she gets off the bed and leaves the room.

Sebastian looks up at the ceiling. He lit a cigarette and inhales deeply wondering what Kathryn was doing now. A small smile creeps over his face. He would get her back one way or another.
