Kim POV

I opened my eyes the next morning and turned over. Into something warm. I realised it was Jack immediately and smiled. I felt his arm slide around my waist.

"Morning sleepy" he muttered in a very sexy morning voice. I opened my eyes and looked up at him.

"Or should I say afternoon" he said with a smile. I turned to look at the clock before facing him again. 12:20.

"I'm only catching up on all my sleep I missed when I was with…you know" I said. He nodded.

"Of course. I understand. And I've been catching up on the sleep that I missed whilst staying up late worrying about you. I haven't heard anyone else up either. They've probably done the same as me" he said.

"Sorry for making you all worry" I muttered.

"I'm just glad to have you back" he said and pulled me closer.

"I love you Kimmy. And our amazing baby" he said.

"I love you too" I replied. We stayed as we were for a while as I (shockingly) still felt tired. When we finally got up I missed Jack's body heat.

"I'm cold now" I said. He smiled at me.

"I can fix that" he said and picked me up bridal style. At first it was fine but as he shifted, a terrible pain shot up my back. I screamed louder then I wanted to have. Jack placed me down gently.

"Kimmy oh my god I'm so sorry" he said quickly. Our bedroom door came swinging open and in came Ash, Jerry and Grace. Ash was holding a baseball bat, Grace a saucepan and Jerry a pillow.

Yes, a pillow.

"Is everything alright?" Grace asked with a look of concern. I nodded.

"It was just my back" I said.

"What happened?" Ash asked. I lifted my shirt up to show the bruise on my back.

"Oh my god" Grace muttered and dropped the saucepan. She raised a hand to her mouth.

"How bad is it?" I asked. Jack moved the mirror over so I could see. My skin was its natural tone everywhere except for a small section on my lower back. My skin was paler colour mixed with a hue of purple. I gasped.

"Oh my god- Kimmy how did that happen?" Jack asked breathlessly. I remembered

~~~~Flashback~~~

"I'd rather die than stay here with you and raise my baby here" I spat. Carson grabbed me by my hair and dragged me off of the bed. I thumped onto the floor.

"Owww" I grumbled.

"That's not the worst of it" he said. He leant over me and slapped me.

"Stop it" I screamed. He slapped me again.

"If you just co-operate this won't happen" he yelled. He stood up and went to kick my stomach. I turned over, protecting my stomach and his boot collided with my back.

~~~End of flashback~~~~

"You don't have to say if you don't want" Ash said.

"No no it's fine. It was horrible but I can talk about it. I was refusing to eat and Carson wasn't happy about it. He kept telling me I had to and when I said I would rather die than stay with him, he dragged me off of the bed by my hair. He slapped me twice. Then went to kick me in the stomach where my baby is. I rolled over just in time, but his boot collided with my back. It hurt so bad. But I had to protect the baby" I said.

"I honestly want to kill Carson" Jack muttered but we all heard.

"I know" I breathed out. Ash pulled me into a very gentle hug, careful not to hurt me.

"I think we should have some breakfast" Grace said, changing the mood. I nodded.

"But first. Jerry? A pillow? Really?" I said. Everyone laughed.

"What? Grace grabbed a saucepan so I grabbed a pillow" he defended.

"So if someone had broken in and was attacking us, you would have pillow fought them to death?" Jack said in between laughs. Jerry turned a shade of red, making us all laugh more. We all walked into the kitchen and Grace gathered some ingredients.

"Pancakes?" she suggested.

"Sure" we all nodded.

"I'm going to invite Melody over" Ash said.

"And Arthur?" I asked.

"No he has classes" Ash said and walked out of the room. Grace got on with the pancakes. We all sat in the kitchen and talked. I glanced out of the window.

I screamed.

I saw a familiar pair of eyes looking through the window. Carson's. But as I blinked, they were gone.

"Kim? What's wrong?" Jack asked with concern. Ash came running back in, with his phone in his hand.

"Did you scream?" he asked.

"I saw- i swear- I saw Carson" I said in ragged breaths. Everyone instantly stood up. Jack, Jerry and Ash all grabbed knives and headed outside. Grace walked over to sit next to me.

"Are you okay? Don't worry they will catch Carson" Grace said quickly.

"How did he escape?" I yelled. I was terrified. I thought I was fine but seeing his eyes, really scared me.

"I don't know. But they will catch him" she reassured me. We sat in silence, with Grace clasping my hands in hers. When Jack, Jerry and Ash returned they were alone.

"Where is he?" I asked loudly. They shook their heads

"Kim he wasn't there. Are you sure you saw him?" Ash asked. I nodded vigorously.

"I know his eyes. They were looking through that window" I yelled.

"Kim we aren't saying he wasn't. Which way did he run?" Jack asked.

"Um- I don't know. I blinked and he was gone" I muttered.

"Kim, he must have gone. I'll call the academy and tell them we saw Carson around here and they will send guards over" Jack said reassuringly.

I nodded.

"Thanks guys" I said. Jack walked over and locked the door and windows. Grace then started making pancakes again. Jack sat next to me.

"I won't let anyone take you again" he whispered.

"I know you won't" I whispered back. Grace then bought some freshly made pancakes over and placed them in front of me.

"Eat Kimmy" she said. I dug in and ate them hungrily, finally realising how hungry I was. I ate all of them and the next few Grace put in front of me.

"I think I'm going to have a nap. Such a large meal is making me sleepy" I said. I headed to the bedroom after saying goodbye to everyone.

As I walked in I turned the lights on. I saw something move out of the corner of my eye. I turned but nothing was there. I changed into my pyjamas and quickly got into the bed. I shut my eyes and darkness took over.

I wearily opened my eyes, feeling something odd. A figure was in front of me.

"Jack" I said.

"Think again" the voice said. I knew that voice anywhere.

"Carson" I hissed.

"You think I'm done with you" he said and lunged forwards. I screamed at the top of my lungs and punched at Carson.

My fist connected with a chest, but not the chest I wanted to.

"Kim what are you doing?" the voice asked. The figure grabbed my wrists and held them lightly.

"Jack" I said.

"Why are you screaming and punching the air?" he questioned with deep concern. I then noticed Ash, Jerry and Grace behind Jack.

"I saw Carson. He was here" I yelled. Grace gasped. Jack checked all over the room. Under the bed, in the wardrobe and bathroom and behind the curtains.

"No one is here Kim" Ash said.

"I swear, I saw him" I said.

"Kimmy I will stay with you. Ash, Grace and Jerry can check the house" Jack said. I nodded, still shaking. Jerry, Grace and Ash all left the room. Jack laid down next to me.

"It's alright Kim. He still won't take you" he said. I laid next to him, and snuggled into his chest. Jack stroked my hair lovingly. Before I knew it I was falling asleep.

Jack POV

I stayed with Kim for a while. I'm becoming really worried about her. I'm so glad we got her back but she's acting different. She keeps seeing Carson, but then he isn't there. At all.

When Kim's breathing finally became deep and heavy I pulled away and stood up. I headed to the lounge, where Ash, Grace and Jerry all looked almost terrified.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Jack sit down" Ash said. I sat next to Grace who was pale.

"Why do you all look so terrified and worried?" I asked.

"I just got off of the phone with the academy" Ash said.

"Why didn't they call, when Carson escaped?" I asked. Ash finally looked at me.

"What aren't you telling me?" I asked.

"It's not that they didn't tell us that Carson escaped" Ash said.

"Carson hasn't escaped. He is still in the prison at the academy" Jerry said quickly. My face paled with everyone else's.

Dn dn dn. If Carson hasn't escaped, then what is Kim seeing? Find out in the next chapter….

But for now review…

Love you all 3
