Chapter Three

Kristin was laying in her bed, scared. She knew Peter and Sophie were probably talking about her right now. SHe got up-she couldn't sleep anyways. She looked at into the night out the window. THat's where she wanted to be. She grabbed her coat, threw on her shoes and slipped out the door...

***Boys dorm***

"So, homes, what are you in for?" Auggie asked Steven as he was getting into bed. Steven shrugged. "Drugs. Shit like that." "Ohhh...So Kristin is your sister?" "Yeah. She's a brat isn't she?" AUggie looked at him strangely and shook his head. "Heck naw. She's a cool kid. A lot cooler than those kids at home." Auggie defended her. "Yeah right. At home all she did was get in trouble." "WHy don't you tell everyone why Steven?" Scott asked without looking up form the book he was reading.

Steven shot a look at Scott. "How would I know. She made my dad a drunk." He growled and stomped out. He only expected to stand on the steps but he saw a girl walking around. He squinted. "Aww...look who it is." He muttered under his breath and walked up to her.

"Hey, sister" he said in her ear. She jumped and turned around-she was shaking really bad. He looked around. All the lights had just turned out. "Come with me, my sista." he said and grabbed her arm adn pulled her to the woods. "Please don't, Steven! I promise I won't tell anything!" She cried as he punched her when they were in the woods.

Then he realized something. If he hit her where people would be able to see they'd suspect him. "Pull up your shirt." He ordered her. She reluctantly pulled up the back of her shirt. She heard him take off his belt. "No, Steven! Don't, please-" she begged but she felt the belt hit her back. "You scream I'll kill you." Steven promised, yanking her by her hair. She whimpered as the tears streamed down her face. What was about 10 minutes of blows felt like 10 hours to Kristin. When she was allowed to stand up straight she did it with struggle. She was whirled around by Steven. "You wait until it's about 5 minutes after I'm in my dorm room to go back to yours. And-" he grabbed her hair again, "You tell anybody, I'll either kill you or run away and take you with me, kiddo," he said, spitting in her face.

Steven got to the edge of the woods and looked around, decided it was clear,and ran to his dorm. About 5 minutes later Kristin slowly walked- and, so no one would suspect anything, out of a seperate part- out of the woods to her dorm.

It took her about 5 minutes to get there because her back was on fire. When she got there she was met by the worried face of Peter.
