Author's note: Still trying to find the best fandom for this story. Thanks for all the visitors/views, it's exciting and more importantly, encouraging to see other people enjoying my story! Still looking for more feedback from all of you. Thanks again, BD

Warning: The last chapter and this one are the most intense/graphic in the Prequel. They were very difficult to write, due to the subject matter of human sex trafficking, a horror that is all too prevalent in our real world. Those who have read the book, Shadows of the Night, will understand that it is important in the 'backstory' to explain the mindset of Quinn and his family, and how their mysterious Island, and their 'guests' came to be… if not for this dark night in Evie's life, Quinn and Brenna would have never met, and Brenna would not be alive…(I've always appreciated a story with a message, as long as it's not too 'preachy'. I hope you do as well.)

As Evie's mind raced to think of a suitable reason to leave the warehouse 'dungeon', she watched as the beautiful yet sadistic woman turned her attention to the 'toy table' beside her. She ran her hand over several of the items, vibrators, floggers, anal beads, the crowd encouraging her on. As her hand hovered over a shiny black strap on vibrating dildo, with a normal 7 inch end, and an extra-thick, 12 inch end, the crowd's cheers escalated, and she laughed. Picking up the strap-on, she turned to the crowd, holding it high for them to see, then slowly licking the extra-large end.

Evie was sick at the thought of the woman using that end on the bound victim. The girl was obviously not that experienced, and would never be able to tolerate a dildo that size, not many people could. The woman applied a liberal amount of lube to the normal end, rubbing it seductively, to the delight of the crowd. She wiggled out of her micro mini skirt and spread her legs wide for the crowd to watch as she inserted the dildo slowly into her vagina, then attached the leather straps around her waist and thighs. Once her new 'ensemble' was secured, she strutted around in her spiked heels, rubbing several members of the audience with the extra-large end, as if wanting them to realize just how big it was.

The crowd was pumped up, cheering and chanting 'fuck the little bitch', and finally the woman smiled and returned to the girl, who had no idea what was about to happen to her. The woman bent and licked, then bit the girl's vagina several times, before standing up straight and positioning herself directly behind her victim.

The music, which had been blaring, was turned down, and original red leather clad 'Mistress' pulled the ball gag from the girl's mouth. Evie's stomach lurched as she realized it was so that the crowd could hear the girl's coming cries. Evie had to fight with all her might not to run up to the woman and beat her with the dildo, then grab the girl and run. But, even with her superhuman strength, she knew she could not take on all of the guards, plus the crowd. Therefore, she had no choice but to watch helplessly as the woman thrust the non-lubricated, sadistic dildo violently into the girl.

The girl's head jerked up, and she let out a high pitched scream, causing her rapist to thrust even harder. As the girl continued to scream, Evie felt Helene licking behind her earlobe, then her now 'former lover' whispered into her ear, "My beautiful Evie, can we buy that one when she is done, so that you and I can play with it later?"

That was the final straw for Evie, she had to leave, immediately, before she vomited, or started killing people…

She yearned for her family, so far away, even wishing Quinn was near, so that she could curl up in his strong arms and cry. He hated when she cried, but he tolerated it, for her sake. At the thought of her family, an idea came to her, and with the hand that Helene wasn't holding and stroking, Evie was able to reach into her pocket and find her cell phone. She pulled it out, keeping it down at her side, yet not really worried about Helene noticing, she was fixated on the rape occurring in front of them.

Evie managed to send her sister Marci a text, Marci, need your help, please call me, now!

She slid her phone back into her pocket, and waited. Due to the time difference, it would be early afternoon where Marci was, and Evie prayed that Marci saw her text quickly. Thirty seconds later, her phone rang, and she made a show of frustration to Helene, who nodded in understanding, as Evie fished it from her pocket and stepped away from the boisterous crowd, and screaming girl.

She tried to keep her voice steady as she answered, "Marci, thanks for calling, I'm so sorry to bother you."

Her sister's voice was full of concern, and love, "It's okay kiddo, you never bother me. What's up? Your text worried me."

At the sound of her sister's voice, Evie could no longer contain her horror, and started to cry.

Marci's worry grew to panic. Her free-spirited sister was several thousand miles away, and crying, and there was nothing she could do.

"Evie, my god, what's wrong? Please calm down and talk to me. Are you hurt? God, what's wrong, and what's all that noise? It sounds like… oh god Evie, where are you? Tell me now!"

Evie choked down her sobs, feeling terrible for upsetting her sister. Her plan had been to make small talk with Marci, then hang up, and tell Helene that a family matter had come up, and she had to leave. But, even though she had moved away from the horrific scene, thanks to her family's enhanced senses, Marci could still hear the girl's screams, and the crowd…

Evie took a deep breath, "Marci, listen to me. I'm fine, really. But, um, I'm in a bad place, and I need to leave. Please don't make me explain now, I will later, I promise. But, I need a good reason to leave, so that's why I called you. I'm going to tell my friend, well, my former friend, that I have a family emergency, and I have to leave. I'll call you later, I swear."

Marci's voice was desperate, "Evie, please don't hang up. I need to know you are safe."

"Oh Marci, you know I'm safe, I can take care of myself. Please trust me, I know what I'm doing. I'll call you back in a couple of hours at the most, I swear."

Marci took a deep breath to control her own tears, "Ok sis, I trust you. But, I'm scared. I can tell you are someplace really bad, so just get the hell out of there. And for god sakes, at least text me when you're in the clear, then call me in no more than two hours, okay?"

"Yes, Marci."

"Evie, I mean it. Text me, and then you better call me in two hours. If I don't hear from you, I'm coming there, got it?"

Evie rolled her eyes at her overprotective sister's demands, but knew she was doing it because she was frightened. "Yes Marci, I said I would call you, and I will. And trust me, you can expect my text in a few minutes, 'cause I'm out of this hell hole."

Marci sighed, "Alright. Evie, I love you, just be careful."

"Love you too, sis. And don't worry, 'careful' is my middle name, gotta go, bye."

She hung up the phone, but not before hearing her sister's snort, and knew that Marci was now rolling her eyes at her.

Evie walked back to Helene, affecting her best worried/sad look. "I'm so sorry Helene, that was my sister calling. I have to go home immediately, family medical emergency."

Helene looked genuinely sad, "Oh no, will you be back soon?"

"I'm not sure, it depends on how the surgery goes…"

Helene's plump red lips formed into a pout, "Will you be checking out of the hotel tonight?"

Evie fought a frown as she realized that her now ex-lover didn't seem the least bit concerned about her family emergency. She was only concerned about when/if her rich American girlfriend was returning, and whether she was being kicked out of their five star hotel.

"Yes, I need to catch the soonest flight possible. But, when I settle the hotel bill, I'll pay for an additional night. That should give you enough time to pack, and return to your place."

Helene wrinkled her nose at the thought of having to return to the cramped two bedroom apartment that she shared with three other girls.

"Ok, thanks Evie. You have my number, call me when you come back to Amsterdam. You were a lot of fun, and I was looking forward to taking our relationship to the next level."

She glanced at the 'show' that was continuing, and Evie shuddered, more so because, with her dominant sexual tendencies, she knew that Helene was offering to be her extreme BDSM sub…

Again, Evie choked back the bile in her throat and smiled at Helene, standing on her tip toes and giving her a quick kiss.

"I'll be sure to call you as soon as I return." She lied. Then, not waiting for Helene's response, Evie turned and forced herself to walk calmly out of the hideous warehouse and into the dark night.

Until now, Evie had never been a 'hero', and like the rest of her family, she never understood why they were cursed with their monstrous condition. But, after what she saw tonight, she now knew that there were far worse monsters in the world than she, and her family. She also knew that she would be returning to the warehouse very soon, and thanks to her monstrous condition, it would be under far different circumstances…
