Wow, I'm sorry this took me a month to update, fanfiction acted up and then I got too busy to do so. Either way, here's the next chapter. Angst ahead.

Kate was alone again, sitting on the bed as a small ball. No matter how badly things had hurt before, it was beyond worse now. She had already been powerless to begin with so fighting back hadn't been easy and that guy knew how to fight, or rather just beat her up. He was better than her even if she would have been fit.

Not that it would change her mind, though. She was not going to betray the Sanctuary. Ever.

Her head was hurting and so was her side. He hadn't missed her. She knew she had been bleeding before, her lip open and her temple having more than a scratch but she didn't really care. Breathing hurt too and her guess was that he had at least cracked a rib or two.

The door opened again and she flinched, forcing herself not to look as weak as she felt.

"Looks like they're looking for you, dear. Not that they will be successful ... Or should we invite her over?"

"Doc..."

"What do you say? Should we get her here? I'm sure she'd love to."

"She'll kick your ass." She hissed.

"I'd love to see her try. Well, you seem to be missing her. I can't blame you for that, really. Perhaps next time she's around to look for you, I'll just help her out a little. What do you think?"

Kate panicked a bit but tried not to let it show. Magnus would find her without that guy's help and get her out of this mess.

"I see. Interesting." The man grinned, walking closer the couple of feet.

She remained where she was, not making a sound or shifting from her spot when he touched her face, running his finger over the bruises before slapping her; her head snapping to the side.

"Be glad this is only me you have to deal with. Any of the others and you wouldn't have that will of yours anymore. They are quite eager to have their ways with you."

She actually froze at the implication of his words. In her mind, there was no doubt about what he really meant. She needed to get out of there. Now. But she could hardly even move.

"Maybe I will have one of them try their luck with you. They can be rather convincing and I tend to play too nice."

"Leave the Doc. out of this..." Kate said quietly, out of strength again and trying to ignore the whole rest of his speech.

"But why would I do that? Don't think your sacrifice would change anything in the slightest. We'd just take another one until someone talks or she comes on her own. Either way, we will get what we want." He explained rather calmly, creeping her out.

It seriously freaked her out. This was getting worse and worse. It still wouldn't change her mind about this. She wouldn't talk no matter what they'd do to her.

"I won't talk." She exclaimed again quietly.

"All the more fun for me then, dear. I will make you regret that decision and if I have to share you."

Kate stared at him, her weakened state leaving her intimidated and scared, an easy target. It wasn't difficult anymore to get to her in any way and she hated it. She needed the others to find her. Sooner would be better. She doubted she could attempt an escape herself.

"You're starting to realize, aren't you? You will die here. Magnus can't help you. You should start talking before you die for nothing."

The man scooted closer again, looming over her and she pressed herself back into the wall.

"I don't even know your name."

"It's not important. My name doesn't matter and it wouldn't help you anyway. You know, if Magnus tries again, I might seriously help her find you. I'd keep you alive until you'd see her again. Sounds good?"

"Why ... would you do that?"

"Why not? Now, how about we have some fun instead of talking business?" He smirked, sitting up straight enough to work on his pant's zipper.

Kate's eyes widened in horror and she tried to get him away from her as well as she could but she was hardly in any condition to fight him off. She was crying after he touched her the first time, too exhausted and drained to care or help it anymore.
