"So Darien, how's that master plan coming along?" asked Andrew, while cleaning his already spotless countertop.
"I'm working on it, but she's not helping. If only she'd tell someone about how Damion's treating her." said Darien, pondering the possibilities of what he could do.
"Well, don't expect her to tell anybody anytime soon. Damion's got her wrapped around his finger. He's never gonna let her go." Andrew stated, sitting down beside his friend.
"Well that needs to change. And I'm gonna be the one to change it." Said Darien. It was more like a statement than a thought.
"Oh really.and how do you plan to do that?" asked Andrew, sceptical of Darien's thoughts.
"Don't worry, I've got it all planned out." said Darien, as he stood up and left the Crown Arcade, and walked down the street. A wonderful idea had blossomed in his mind.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
**At Damion's apartment**
Damion was walking back and forth across the living room, while Serena was sitting on the couch, once again, staring at the floor.
"So Serena, you think I mistreat you do you?" he asked, glaring at the young girl.
"N-No Sir" she stuttered, too afraid to say otherwise.
"Don't lie to me bitch. I know what's going through your pretty little head." He spat. "You belong to me. You do as I say. You are my slave. You know that don't you?" he sneered, well aware that she was too afraid to do anything but comply with his every command.
*SMACK*
"DON'T YOU??" he yelled into her ear, sending a wave of fear, trickling down her spine.
"Y-Yes S-Sir" she whimpered as she held her cheek, tears springing to get eyes.
"Good. I'm letting you go early today. I planned to teach you a lesson, but I have more important things to deal with. Now get out of my sight!" he hollered, as he threw a beer bottle at her, but he missed. Instead, he hit a wall, and the bottle shattered into shards, flying into every direction. Unfortunately, many of the pieces hit Serena, and they cut into her bare arms, and her face. She shrieked in surprise, as she looked back at Damion, fear filled her eyes. Then she scurried out of the apartment, and closed the door behind her.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Serena panted as she ran towards the bathroom in the apartment. She quickly got inside, and locked the door.
She slowly walked to the sink, and stared at her reflection.
*I can't believe that's me. This is what I've become.*
She reached up and gently touched her bruised cheek. Memories flooded back to her, recalling the moment on how she got it. Then her fingers trailed down to the cut on her other cheek. She took some paper towel, dampened it, and wiped the dry blood off her cheek and her arms. Then she continued to stare at her reflection. Then suddenly, she burst into tears. She backed into a wall, and slid down.
*Why me? Why won't I do something? Why don't I do something? I should tell someone, but who?*
After a while of crying, she stood up, walked out, and headed home.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Millions of thoughts ran through her head as she opened her front door. She was thankful that nobody was home. She really needed some time alone. She sighed as she hung her coat, up trudged up the stairs to open her bedroom door.
"AHH!!" she screamed, as she noticed someone already occupying her room. "What ARE you doing here?!" she hollered at Darien.
"I came to see you, duh" said Darien coolly.
"Well why are you here? I have nothing to say to you." She said, trying to act tough. But Darien could see right through the act.
"Serena, Damion's not here. You can act normally. He's not here to hurt you. I promise." Said Darien, trying to comfort her.
"I-I'm not supposed to be talking to you..." She whispered quietly, tears threatening to pour out once again.
"Serena," he said as he walked over to her, " I promise I won't ever let him hurt you. Ever." He swore to her as he rubbed her arms.
This was too much for Serena. She burst into tears and she let it all out, from the beginning to the end. From how well it started out, how it looked like he really cared about her, and how she thought that he was the 'one'. Then it turned ugly. He started controlling her, and abusing her. She told him how he hit her, and the countless bruises that her left on her body. She told him about the broken bones, and all the lies she told her mother. She told him how desperate she was, and how much she wanted to leave him, but every time she said she would, he threatened to hunt her down and kill her, which made her change her mind and stay.
Darien simply held her, and rocked her back and forth lightly and she divulged her secrets to him. He felt his anger rise at every time she mentioned Damion even touching her. He held her closer, and hugged her tightly. She was so small and fragile, she relaxed after awhile, and snuggled closer to him. But she couldn't help but feel scared. She was afraid of many things right now, but the two most important would be that she was afraid that Darien might hurt her like Damion had, and she was afraid that Damion might find out about this little 'meeting' of theirs and punish her severely for it. But Darien's intentions seemed genuine, and something about him made her feel at ease.
Darien hugged her, but was suddenly alarmed when she let out a tiny squeal of pain.
"What? What's wrong? Did I hurt you?" he asked, immediately concerned.
"No. It wasn't you. Damion hit me the other night, and left a few bruises, and they haven't healed completely," she explained.
"Let me see." He said, his eyes burning with rage, wanting so much to punch the lights out of Damion.
Serena slowly lifted her shirt, exposing her ribs and stomach.
It was a painful sight. Tens of bruises covered her mid section. If yellow, orange and green weren't part of the rainbow, you'd have all the other 4 colours there. Bruises of all shapes and sizes were visible; giant ones that were blue and purple, down to little ones that were fading, but still had a hint of red and blue. "Oh my Gosh. Did he do this to you?" he asked, immediately concerned and started gently running his fingers across her bruises.
"Y-Yeah. He gave me these last night, after I talked to you. He didn't want me talking to you so he hit me and made me his slave for the night." She shuddered, remembering the night.
"I'm so sorry I wasn't there. I'm so sorry." He repeatedly said, wishing that there were something that he could do to make the pain go away.
"It's ok. I'm with you now. Just promise me something." She pleaded.
"Anything." He replied.
"Promise me you'll never leave me. And promise me that you'll never hurt me. Please." She said as her eyes were filled with emotion.
"Never. I'd never hurt you. You have my word. And I will never leave you. I promise." He vowed, pouring his heart out to her. He was totally sincere, and meant every word that he had spoken to her.
"How about you and I go celebrate your separation? We should tell Andrew, he'll flip if we didn't, and he'll be so glad to see our little meatball head normal again!" he said, trying to lighten the mood.
Serena opened her mouth to counter him, but decided to just lie against his chest, and hold him.
He smiled and lifted her up with ease, and carried her to the door.
"Come on princess, we have some announcing to do." He said, as he opened to door and walked out.
Little did they know, a certain someone was waiting for them at the arcade.
