I woke up to an unfamiliar room. My neck was aching. Bruises covered my wrists. I went to get up when arms crawled around my waist pulling me to someone's chest.

"Where do you think you're going Cherie?" It was Ty. When he nuzzled his face on my neck I whimpered. I felt his breath when he chuckled.

Suddenly my eyes felt heavy. No, no, no, no. I was frightened to go to sleep. Soon my eyes gave out.

Running water woke me up. I was alone on the bed. I think Ty was in the shower. I went to swing my legs over the bed, but my left ankle was tied to something. Rope was tied around my ankle trapping me to the bed. My hands struggled to get the rope loose. Finally, I was successful.

I just noticed I had a crimson night gown on. Goosebumps covered my arms and legs. I saw a jacket and put it on. I looked around the room to find three doors. One lead to the bathroom, the other was a closet, and the last lead to the hallway. The one that lead to the hall was unlocked. I opened it and walked out.

I quietly snuck my way downstairs. When I turned left to the kitchen I saw someone there. The guy had his back towards me and was standing up. It looked like he was fixing something. I wasn't sure what it was. He sort of looked like Ty from the back. I could still hear the shower running, so it definitely wasn't him. Ty never mentioned he had a brother. I turn around for a moment to look for a way out. When I turned back around he was gone.

I walked in the kitchen to look for him, but it was empty. Backing up I bumped into something or someone. I jumped. Someone twirled me around. I was facing the guy that was in the kitchen.

"My, my, my. I think my little brother lost his pet."

"I don't belong to anyone." I took steps back.

Ty's brother brought his hand to my neck moving my hair back. "It looks like he hasn't marked you his yet."

I couldn't hear the shower anymore. Out of nowhere Ty knocked his brother's hand away standing between us. "Don't touch her," Ty growled. I slowly took steps back.

"I was only looking."

"Stay away from her. She's mine."

"You haven't marked her yet. She doesn't belong to anyone."

"I'm going to."

I quietly took steps back. I was at the door.

"You should watch your little pet. She might try to run away."

Ty was suddenly at my side keeping a good grip on my upper arm. They were both glaring at each other. Ty yanked me up the stairs and back in the room. He locked the door.

"You shouldn't have gone out of the room. I haven't marked you yet, so it's dangerous to be walking around here."

"I'm not going to belong to anyone."

"Why must you always be so difficult?"

"To make everything easier why don't you let me go?"

Ty shook his head. He was pacing around the room thinking. "The sooner I mark you the better, but I have to wait till mother and father get back," He murmured to himself.

He seemed to be lost in his thinking, so I headed towards the window. When I got there I saw a lamp on the dresser next to the window and threw it at him. It hit him on the head knocking him on the floor. This was my chance. I was two-stories up and took my chance and jumped.

I landed on my ankle wrong and twisted it. When I tried getting up I cried out in pain. It was painful to walk on.

"Looks like I was right." It was Ty's brother.

"You stay back."

"You're very stubborn, aren't you?" He started walking towards me.

"Stop. Don't come any closer."

"We're going to have to fix that." He picked me up bridal style and walked towards the house.

"Let me go!" I banged my fists on his chest and kicked him. I slap him across that face leaving scratches on his checks. They were bleeding. Something was odd. They started healing. I looked at him awestruck. He started laughing.

"You are such a silly girl."

When we got back in the house he sat down on the couch positioning me siting on his lap. I tried to get up, but one of hands grabbed both of my wrists, while the other wrapped around my waist pulling my back to his chest. I kicked my legs against his and squirmed when he trapped my legs under his. His grip tightened. Soon I stopped, no longer being able to stand the pain.

"What do you think you're doing?!" Ty yelled. He grabbed my arm pulling me away from his brother. Pain spread through my leg when weight was put on my ankle.

"She was trying to run away. Luckily I caught her before she could get away." He leaned back stretching.

Ty walked away pulling me along. I gasped. It was painful to walk. "What's wrong?" Ty glared at his brother.

"She sprained her ankle on the fall down from upstairs," He said inoccently.

"Mom and Dad will hear about this when they get home."

Ty picked me up and carried me upstairs. He set me on the bed and went to the bathroom to get bandages. He picked my foot up carefully to examine it. I winced. "Does it hurt?"

I nodded. Ty wrapped the bandage around my ankle.

"Why did you throw a lamp at me?" He asked of all a sudden. He seemed hurt.

"First of all you kidnapped me and expect me to marry you!" I shouted.

"It was the only way I could get you to listen to me. I thought you were still upset about before, so I left you alone for awhile, so you could get over it and forgive me."

"So, you just expect me to forgive you and marry you! Besides, you're a-a vampire."

"You won't forgive me because I'm a vampire? Is that it?"

"You-you kidnapped me. What's my brother going to think? I'm the only family he has left."

"Who cares about some stupid mutt," He muttered under his breath.

"What? What do you mean by that? He's not a stupid mutt!" I yelled.

"I didn't say anything."

"Yes, you did."

"Forget it."

I stood up even though it hurt. "I won't forget about it. You did say something."

"You're imagining things."

"I'm not." I was getting upset. He knows I heard him.

"I'm not dealing with this right now!" Ty walked over to the window and locked it.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

He ignored me and walked out of the room. I limped my way over to the door to find it locked from the outside. I banged on the door and shouted til I gave out.
