"..Help me.."
She hummed a soft tune into Riley's ear, trying to sooth her down. "If you want to, I can take you away from here. So busy inside, so worried out there. And all you wanted was somebody who cared?"Achira whispered softly, leaning her head against Riley's.
"Thank you.. I knew I could always trust you..."Riley's voice trailed off, she stopped and starred out of her window. "Im scared.. He always threatens me.. And when he does I feel im helpless!"
"Don't worry.. I'll protect you.. If he lays one finger on you.. HE'S DEAD!"Achira snapped, emphasizing the word dead.
"You better go! My parents usually do a check-up by now. If they found out you were here, they'd ground me!"She replied sheepishly.
Achira nodded her head in understanding and edged towards the window. "Hopefully I'll see you on the winter break! Bye."She smiled weakly and exited the room in dismay.
"If only you knew my pain.."Riley mumbled, leaning against her back wall and cupping her own tears.

She had tried so hard to figure out who this mysterious no-name guy who kept beating on Riley, but so far she had found out squat. She knew deep inside Riley was hurting, I mean who wouldn't be? Right now, all she knew was that he had messy blonde hair and the last time she saw him he wore a baggy red shirt and ripped jeans. "Stupid bastard, well I can't just spend my whole time on looking for him! I got other stuff to do.. It's the Christmas holidays after all.."
Her parents had decided to have Christmas at their house for this year on both sides. Yes and Claire was accompanying my aunts and uncles Saturday, along with a few younger cousins and Sage. Sage was 18.. The oldest of her cousins on both sides. He was fun to hang around with except when he brought his girlfriend over.. Uhh? Why was she even allowed to come to this reunions type things. She's not even a family member! All she did was complain about the lack of decoration in the house and once tried to rearrange my room.
In the end it turned out to be a bright pink with pictures of hot celebrities hanging everywhere. She said it was what us younger teens were into? Younger teen, she's only one year older than me? How weird?
Stupid wench.. She annoys the hell out of me! She thought to herself.
She yelled down the stairs asking if Sage was bringing Sarah along, she hoped not! The reply she got was less than pleasing. "Yeah! But she and Sage are only staying until dinner and then going to some high school party. I believe some fellow named .. What was it oh yeah at the Hiwatari mansion."
What! The Hiwatari mansion, that's Kai's place. How could Kai like Sage and not her? Sage and her were related after all!
"Thanks mom!"She responded, wanting to sound cheery. "I better get to bed.. Tomorrow is a big day! I have to help clean up for the cousins.. Uhh!"
Achira managed to get up halfway up the stairs before the irritating sound of her father's hammering against a wall annoyed her. She covered her ears in complete disgust and edged her way into her room, shutting the door behind her.
"Why can't all the FREAKING noise stop!"She mentally slapped herself in the face for screaming that out loud.
"What was that!"Her dad yelled over the hammering. "You want me to make more noise! Okay I'll do anything for my little pumpkin-poo!"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"She yelled full throttle, diving into her many layers of pillow positioned at the top of her own bed.
What was one thing that could get her mind of all the crap going on right now? Maybe the thing with Riley! Her conscious kept reminding her to keep a straight face and try to stay calm. She had dealt with this kind of situation before. Where someone was hurting her? But it wasn't someone it was he!
Flash-Back
Before she moved to Bakuten she payed a visit to her Uncle Terry and Aunt Maud. Her parents had to go way for the weekend on a small business trip to Brooklyn to register themselves up for new jobs.
Little did they know, Achira was only 12 years old at the time and caused tons of mischief. Most of the day her aunt would be in her room knitting new socks or hats for her or watching wheel fortune. Her uncle would spend most of his time in the basement. One day curiosity getting the better of her, she snuck into the basement chasing after her orange ball she played catch with against the wall. It suddenly bounced into the cracked open basement so she slid down to go after it.
Her uncle valued his privacy as much as rich man valued gold. He never came out of the basement except to eat and sleep. That was it! After she entered the gloomy looking basement steps, her gut feeling was flaring.
You shouldn't be down here, you can get your ball later when he goes to bed, but no! She had to come and get it!
It was darker than usual, the lights were dimmed except for a small table lamp revealing the back of her pot-bellied uncle. She could smell the alcohol from his breath, knowing he had a lot of drink that morning and tonight perhaps?
He didn't notice her until she made a small creaking noise whilst getting her orange ball. Without hesitation, Achira's eyes glinted fear as her drunker uncle approached her in a menacingly way.
"..Who..th..e..he..ll..are..you..?"He said, slurring his words out.
"Its your niece.. Achira.."She replied, whimpering in the corner.
"Achira.. Who..?"
She snapped in astonishment, was this really her uncle? Or did someone replace him...
He snatched a hammer from his tool desk and marched in a soldier like manner toward her. "Don't.. Come .. Near me.."He snapped.
"I didn't do anything.. Please let me go!"
Uncle Terry furrowed his brow and threw the hammer at her, only just missing the top of her head, cutting away a few pieces which chose to stick up!
"Are you crazy?"Achira snarled, making her way toward the stairs.
He just smirked at her and lunged forward. Was he really drunk or just faking it all out?
His weight was crushing her against the ground, she could barely hold her breath long enough to even breath. Was he doing this on purpose, revenge perhaps or just pure hatred...
His fingers worked there way down to the bottom of her jeans, unbuttoning them slowly. "I've waited along time for this! To get rid of the competition."
She tried to heave him off, but he was just to heavy!
She screamed loudly, but he covered her mouth with his dirty, oily hands. "Let me go!"
All she could remember the following day, was she had lost all dignity she came here in the first place with!
End of Flashback
The thought still brought shivers to her mind. All she could think about was her uncle that night, until her fears cradled her to sleep.

It was the night of Christmas when all her cousins piled through the doors of her itty bitty house. Sage was the first to enter, he was wearing an entirely new look from the last time she saw him.
Instead of his usually spiked black hair with the tips dyed red, his whole head was blue with gold streaks in the back. A navy-blue jacket hung over his strong broad shoulders and he wore baggy blue jeans with red and white tennis shoes underneath them.
"Sup Ash!"Sage smiled, hanging one hand over Sarah in the process. (Ash was her nickname with Sage for some reason.)
"Not much Sage, oh... hi Sarah!"She vaguely remembered her name but did get it right.
"..Achira right? Yeah that's it. Nice to meet you. Where's your bathroom?"She asked in her sweet little tone.
Before she went any further, she might wanna yeah tell you what Sarah wore! Her red streaked blonde hair gave away she didn't value what color it was! She wore a green tank top that went fairly low about past her shoulders and a small orange jacket only covering the tip of her shoulders. A short blue skirt completed the slut assembly, oh! And black sandals and she did have some jewelry on but who cared anyway!
"Its up the stairs and take a right!"Achira pointed up the stairs and sighed.
"Thanks and by the way you should change your outfit, you look like a boy!"Sarah pointed out and slowly made her up the stairs.
Sage chuckled evilly and extended an arm out to her, but then engulfed her into a nuggie messing up her hair. Maybe what Achira wore was a bit boyish? A bright orange sweater that had in silver letters across "Old Navy" and baggy blue jeans similar to the ones Sage wore. Torn up running shoes instead of any dress shoes or at least sandals. Should she change for Sarah's sake?
"Sage let me go!"Achira laughed, trying to shove her way out of his way.
"Nope touch like Ash. Your not getting past me."He smirked, finally releasing his grasp and darting into the kitchen.
Boredom got the better of her so she lazily scurried up the stairs and into her equally boring room. Sarah had rudely entered her room without permission and immediately ran her fingers through her wardrobe. "Oh Achira hi! Sorry for being so rude but is this all you own, sweatshirts and jeans.. Nothing more.."
"Yeah. Is that a problem?"She retorted quicky, crossing her arms.
"Kinda. You're a girl man, live a little and go shopping to get some new stuff..I'll help. Actually I can lend you some of my clothes for the party?"
"What party?"
"At Kai's place.. You know when me and Sage are going for dinner, aren't you going?"
She thought a moment, "Umm.. Who's going to the party?"
"Oh lots of people, Kai's friends Tala and Bryan will be there and all of my friends."She smirked, folding more pieces of clothing.
"TALA! OMG TALA IS MY GOD!"She quickly covered her mouth in doing so!
"Tala eh? Yeah he is a hot one, isn't he? Anyways, I'll talk your mom I'm sure she'll let you go, your 17 after all!"Sarah chirped.
Having thought about it Achira finally came to a decision, "Um.. Okay why not!"
"That's what I like to hear! Come down stairs, I think I brought some spare clothes for the party, you can wear what I am now!"Sarah smiled, rushing down the stairs.
If she went to the party all dressed up, Tala may notice her. What if Kai actually liked what he saw? Eww.. Thats just so meh.. Gross.. But if she thought about it Kai was hot! WHAT! No he was NOT HOT.. Wait yeah those sexy.. Eww... did she just .. Aww man. She actually thought of Kai being good-looking, but man he is.. His hair is so ruffled and soft and.. OH MY GAWD! Okay no more thinking, not more thought of that sexy blunette naked...
She was completely losing it, there was nothing worse than calling your enemy sexy, but he was! Okay yes he was and smart and hot and hot and hot.. She just repeated herself over and over. Okay less thinking more action.
After having her little calling Kai sexy moment (She did it again) she slowly went down the stairs and gulfed down dinner like a horse did with oats. Sage prepared himself for the party, whilst herself and Sarah changed in separate bathrooms around the house. When she had fully changed she looked back at herself in the mirror, she had to admit she looked GOOD!
Did guys really like a slutty girl? Oh yeah less to go through...
Sage swung his cars keys around his index finger, before opening the door and hopping into the car, me and Sarah followed closely after. The car drive was about twenty minutes and they came into view of the Hiwatari mansion. Kai awaited outside looking very impatient. "Finally, you guys are like the last ones here!"Kai snapped, tapping his watch.
They all exited out of the car, when Kai spotted Achira but he didn't no it was her. "And you are you?"Kai asked smugly, trying to act all sexy on her.
"Don't you recognize me nimwod? Achira.."She smirked, placing her hands on her hips.
His eyes bulged open wider than ever and he made a gagging sound. "Aww.. Gross. I actually was trying to hit on you! NASTY!"He snapped, making more noises.
"HA! Laugh it up Hiwatari. But you have to admit it, for a moment there I did have you attracted to me!"She smirked, swaggering over to him and brushing up against him. "See yeah on the dance floor.."
Kai's eyes followed her body until she entered the house, "What happened to the wench? She actually looks good!"
Sarah smiled in satisfactory at her work. "I did a good job if I do say so myself, don't you agree Hiwatari!"
He didn't respond, instead he followed her onto the dance floor and approached Achira in an awkward manner. "I have to admit, you do look rather appealing tonight."He smirked moving in for the kill.
"Oh you think so. But im not hoping to impress the likes of you!"She smiled weakly, trying to find that sexy red headed teenager.
"Looking for Tala huh? Well can't you spend some of your time with moi? Voulez vou avez avec moi, cest soi?"He smirked, almost an inch away from her.
Achira looked at Kai innocently, then kissed him lightly on the lips. Oh my is she actually kissing her enemy. Was he enjoying to? What was happening to her!
