Hey again! Thank you guys so much for respecting my decision. I hope you like this chapter!

"Kim, what are you talking about? NO ONE is going to hurt you, I promise." Jack said.

"They already did, Jack. When I go back, they'll do it again. They told me they would." I said, barely breathing.

"Kim, WHO?" Jack demanded, gently pulling my face to meet his own. I couldn't meet my gaze.

"The dragons," I whispered.

"The black dragons. They abused me all the time, when I was with their Dojo. I never even learned anything there, the only reason I know Karate is because of my old dojo in Tennessee. I had been trying to quit for a while, but I knew if I did they would come after me. They said if I ever reported them, if I ever left them, they would make sure that I could never do karate again."

"It's ok Kim. They won't hurt you anymore." Jack said, playing with my hair.

"It's not only that Jack, they… took advantage of me. They- they ,it was- I can't even…" I began to sob again. It sucked crying in front of Jack. I was supposed to be strong.

"What happened, Kim?"

~Flashback~

"You need to be fiercer with your Kicks, Josh! You know better, no mercy! Make your opponent FEAR you!" Josh grunted in response to Ty's criticism.

Josh was one of the biggest, strongest competitors in the dojo. While I admired his strength, ability, and skills, he had a short tempered personality. If you got him mad, you were surely in for it.

"Kim? Where's the water we asked for?!" Ty yelled at me. I quickly scurried in, holding a tray filled with water cups. (Since they are way too cocky to drink from bottles)

"Sorry," I mumbled as I held out the tray of water cups to them. I was quickly swarmed with black dragons, all eager to get a drink. Suddenly, in all the commotion, I tripped and landed on my face, and the water soaked Josh, who was standing in front of me. I quickly tried to scramble up and clean the mess.

"YOU IDIOT!" Josh screamed as he slapped me, causing me to fall back on the floor.

"I'm sorry… I-I , I didn't mean to!" I cried as he kicked me in the ribs.

"Boys, we need to teach this clumsy rat a lesson…" Josh sneered , his breath hot in my face. Suddenly, he ripped my shirt off, exposing me to the group of guys. I heard hoots and hollers emerge from the group. Josh then crashed me on the wall, smashing his lips against mine.

"What are you doing?! STOP!" I yelled, pushing Josh away from me and desperately trying to put my shirt back on.

"Where do you think you're going, Princess?" Tai said as he grabbed my arm. "Josh, I don't think we're done here."

"Frank, Ed, Pin her. We're going to have some fun…" Josh growled as Ty laughed while he watched my pathetic attempt to escape.

Soon enough, I was wearing fewer and fewer articles of clothing. I was helpless, lying on the dojo floor with tape over my mouth and detained by five black belts.

I knew what was happening, but I refused to give in. I'm Kim Crawford, and I never give up. Too bad perseverance wasn't enough to get me out of that situation.

~end of flashback~

Jack was clenching his fists so tight his knuckles were white.

"Kim, we have to break up." Jack said coldly.

"Wha- What?" I asked after telling him my story.

"I'm not going to make you rejoin the black dragons; when obviously you won't be safe,"

"JACK. We are not breaking up, no matter what the hell happens, Ok?"

"Kim, I'm not putting you in dan-" Jack said but I cut him off with a kiss. An AMAZING kiss by the way. I pushed him down on the bed, and ran my fingers through his hair. Then, abruptly, I pulled away. "Ok, we aren't breaking up," Jack said reluctantly.

"That's what I thought," I said, finishing the kiss.

"I have a question Kim," Jack said. "If they threatened to hurt you if you ever left, then why did you quit that day, when you found out they were cheating?"

"I quit because…" I said, a little blush creeping onto my cheeks. "I knew if they tried to hurt me, you would protect me. I finally found someone I could trust, Jack. It was you."

"Kim, we met that day. How were you so confident I would protect you?" Jack asked.

"I'm a pretty good judge of character, Jack; I knew you had a crush on me. Plus, things were getting worse at the Dojo. I was willing to take anything I could get." I said.

"Well, I promised myself I would never let anyone hurt you." Jack whispered huskily. "I don't break my promises."

"KIDS! Get in the car! Ty just called and he can fit you guys in for class right now! HURRY UP!"

Wow! Did you guys see that coming? So listen, I have 55 followers ( I think) and I would really like to get up to 150 reviews before the next chapter. I have 139 so far. I KNOW you guys can do it! (And you will if you want another chapter posted tomorrow) :)
