Chapter 11- Don't tell!
Eve's POV.
In the previous chapter if you couldn't be bothered to read it:
About 6 vampires come out of the shadows. ''you're going to do as I say aren't you?'' he sneers and I shake my head. He hits me across the face and my vision goes blurry with tears.
Please don't let this happen. Please.
Back to chapter 11...
''You never let me finish what I started 5 years ago Evie. '' Ethan has me pressed against the wall with his mouth against my ear.
''Please! Please don't do this!'' I sob.
He laughs and it makes my stomach churn. Crap what am I going to tell Michael?
''You know you want me to honey. Come on...'' He rips my jumper and it falls to the floor by my feet.
''No! Stop it! Please don't do this!'' I snivel.
''Do what?'' He sneers and pushes me to the ground, I close my eyes and give up, there's no use fighting.
(Okay, I SERIOUSLY cannot go on, she gets raped yeah? I'm not going into details, please don't be mad, as I have said before... I'm only 13. )
A while after... Ethan and his gang have left.
I feel sick. I have bite marks all across my stomach from those vampires, my clothes are ripped but I pull them back on anyway, its better than walking around town naked isn't it? The sun is beginning to set so I better get home quickly or Michael will be out searching for me. I pat my pockets for my phone and I find it where I left it. I pull it out and tap Shane's name on the screen, I really hope he answers, and I don't care if he hates me. After five long and painful rings he answers and his rough voice rustles down the line.
''What do you want Eve?'' He groans.
''Shane. '' I try to say but it comes out as a squeak and then the tears come.
''Eve?'' He sounds softer and more concerned.
''Shane, I'm by the old hospital. Can you bring me some clothes and pick me up? My house keys are hanging in the hook. '' I sob down the line. I just want to be home.
''Why? What happened?'' I can hear him running down the stairs and Claire is following.
''don't tell Michael. '' I whisper.
''Eve! What happened?'' He growls and the car engine starts.
''I-I- Just hurry up. '' I whisper and sit on the kerb, hugging my legs.
Suddenly a car screeches to a stop in front of me and Shane is out of the car pulling me up.
''What happened? Are you bleeding? Why are your clothes like that?'' He bombards me with questions which make my head spin.
''I was raped!'' I blurt out and watch his face go pale.
''let's get you home. '' He whispers and pulls me into the car. ''Get changed. ''
I scramble in and find my favourite clothes laid out on the back seat but I don't feel like being a Goth at the moment, I don't want to wear them. But I pull them on anyway.
''Honey, are you alright?'' I didn't realise Claire was sitting in shot gun until she spoke.
I shake my head and break down. ''It hurts. '' I whimper.
She un-straps and climbs into the back pulling me into her arms. ''Shane. Drive.''
''don't tell Michael! Please don't tell Michael. '' I weep against her shoulder.
The drive home goes by in a blur and before I know it I'm inside the house after Claire quickly dragged me in.
''Distract Michael. '' She hisses and pulls me upstairs. ''let's get you in a nice warm bath. '' She smiles sweetly at me and I hug her.
''C-can you get me something to wear? O-on my bed there might be one of Michael's shirts and some sweat pants.'' I sniff as she leads me into the bathroom.
''Okay honey. Sit and relax. '' She hugs me again then rushes out of the bathroom.
I sit on the floor and weep quietly into my arm.
Shane's POV
Eve, the girl that is like a sister to me, has been raped. Are you serious? God! I feel bad for saying all those things about her this morning.
We brought her home and Claire told, demanded, me to distract Michael and that's what brings me here, hanging by the kitchen door waiting for the girls to get upstairs once they are up I open it and walk in.
''Hey Mike. '' I smile at him whilst sitting down. He puts down the paper and looks at me.
''Did you go out to pick up Eve? She has been gone ages!'' He looks truly worried for her.
''Yeah, she's going upstairs to get a bath.'' I shrug and trace a pattern into the table with my finger.
''Oh. Is that blood I smell?'' He looks up and stares at me.
''Yeah, Claire scratched me before we came in. '' I shrug.
''No. It's Eve's blood. '' He stands up instantly.
''Whoa! Dude. She could just be on her reds!'' I push him back down in the seat.
''No. That doesn't affect vampires, well I mean neither does this because well... '' He trails off blushing. He probably knows it comes from the same place.
''Let her tell you in her own time man. '' I sigh and rise out of the chair and get a can of coke.
''What happened Shane? You know!'' He heaves a sigh.
''Sorry. '' I slink out of the kitchen and jump over the back of the sofa whilst switching on the TV.
I stretch out across the sofa and drink my can of coke.
I did distract him, in a way.
Eve's POV
I sink into the warm bath and look away as the water tinges pink. My stomach has stopped bleeding but my back is sore and my arms are bruised. I'm scared. I don't know why.
There's a knock on the thick door.
''Yes?'' I say meekly.
''I have some clothes for you; I'll leave them by the door. '' Claire speaks through the door.
''Thank you. '' I reply and pull the plug unable to sit there any longer.
I hear Claire's footsteps go down the stairs so I slide out of the bath and pad across the bathroom to retrieve my clothes. I unlock the door and grab the clothes off the landing then close it again quickly so I'm not seen.
One of Michael's shirts is there so I dry off quickly then pull it on and inhale his sweet smell, I'm instantly calm, and then I pull on my sweat pants.
I open the door and walk down the stairs. Claire scurries up to me and hugs me tightly. I flinch.
''Hey, Claire, a bit to hard. '' I pant and her grip loosens.
''Oh, sorry!'' She smiles shamefacedly.
''Eve, babe, want to tell me what happened?'' Michael gazes at me.
I shrug off Claire and leap into his arms. ''Ethan... He...He...He raped me. '' I bawl.
''Oh my God! Eve!'' He strokes my hair soothingly.
''I'm sorry!'' I cry.
''don't be. Shhh...'' He kisses my cheek.
I won't tell him about the bites. I will wait until after they fade away then I will do whatever.
I'm just grateful to be here now.
Shane's POV
Maybe I should tell Michael, I mean Eve told him about the rape finally but I doubt she will tell him that she got bitten (if she got bitten) she'll wait until they have gone before they have sex.
When I heard it was Ethan I knew instantly that there was a chance she'd have bite marks somewhere. There are a whole load of vampires in his gang. That's probably why she was bleeding so much, they bit her and also they were so strong. Poor Eve! That must have been horrible!
I don't want to tell him yet; she looks more relaxed than I have seen her since I saw her on the kerb. I will ask Claire to check and if she finds the bites then we will tell Michael.
I grasp Claire's arm and tow her into the pantry. ''check Eve's stomach for bite marks. '' I say instantly.
''can't Michael do that?'' she inquires.
''No because I doubt they'll be having, you know, for a while so Michael won't see. '' I stare at her.
''Oh my! Shane I am not talking about their sex life! They can do what they want!'' She exclaims and I shush her.
''No! I mean, if there are bite marks then Eve won't have sex until they are gone!''I watch her face change as she catches on.
''Crap! Okay. I will, but not now. Give them time together, she needs to relax. '' I'm fine with that. As long as Eve is safe.
