Chapter 23 (Where there's Heaven hell will follow)

Nikki was lying in the hut when Belle came bounding through the door. "What the hell's wrong with you?' Nikki asked as she sat up. "Oh nothing," Belle said with a sigh. "You know I have been looking for you all,,,,, wait a minute there's something different about you, where were you today," Nikki asked unsure of how her friend was acting. "Oh I went for a walk," Belle said mischievously. Nikki got up from where she was sitting and proceeded to walk around her friend studying her. "Walk huh, did you go by yourself?" Nikki asked. "Well No," Belle said shyly. "Oh my god, you had sex. I can see it on your face," Nikki says as she points at Belle. "Nikki! God," Belle said embarrassingly. "Admit it you did it, how was it. And don't try to lie to me, I know you did, come on now," Nikki said. "Well if I have too. Yes I had sex and it was amazing Nikki," Belle said with a smile. "I knew it, I knew it. It was Mark, wasn't it," Nikki said going to sit by her friend. "Of course it was Mark, who else would it be," Belle said. "Well you were rolling around with Chris earlier," Nikki said. "Nikki, Chris is my friend, that's it," Belle replied. "Well ok, as long as you had fun. I'm going up to the falls to clean up a bit before it gets dark you want to come," Nikki asked. "No actually I'm kind of tired I think I'll stay here and take a nap," Belle replied.

Nikki headed on out to go get cleaned up thinking about how much her friend had changed since they set off on the cruise. "Hey Nikki what are you doing," Shane asked as he caught up to Nikki. "I'm going to go get cleaned up," Nikki replied. "Well you want me to come and be look out for you," Shane asked shyly. "Sure if you want to," Nikki said. The two started up the path unaware that they were being followed. Nikki was standing getting ready to get undressed and decide that she couldn't stand the silence, "So Shane what's going to be the first thing you do when you get of this island," Nikki asked. "Well," She heard Shane say, it caused her to jump because she didn't realize how close he was. "Come on tell me," Nikki said. "I guess," and that was all Nikki heard before she saw Shane fall to her side with blood coming down his face from where he had been hit by something. Turning around Nikki was met by the cold stare of Sean, "Why did you do that," Nikki said swallowing down the lump of fear in her throat. "Because of you," Sean hissed. "Me, I didn't want that," Nikki said trying to think of a way to get away from Sean. "You see dear it was all about lessons and which you obviously couldn't learn so you have caused me to take drastic measures," Sean said in a low voice. Nikki tried to make a run for it but was caught by Sean. He hit her in the face knocking her unconscious. "You take him down the way and drop him," Sean said to his accomplice as he appeared from behind a row of trees.

Nikki came too a little disoriented and then she realized and once again was met by Sean looming over her. Sean knelt by her and proceeded to slap her across the face, "Bitch I could have given you everything. But no you had to throw it away on a worthless comic book hero," Sean hissed. Sean grabbed the front of Nikki's shirt and proceeded to rip it down the front. "HELP," Nikki screamed. "No one will hear, SO SCREAM NIKKI SCREAM," Sean yelled as he pulled Nikki to her feet by grabbing on to her throat. Nikki began to cry and struggle to get loose of Sean, but he only proceeded to slam her on the ground once again. This time he tore at her shorts until he had freed her of them then grabbing her hair he turned her over on her stomach pulling her to her knees. Nikki tried to crawl away but only succeed in getting a blow to her back that knocked her breath out. Sean entered with such a force that Nikki felt pain. "Please don't do this," Nikki cried. The pain was so blinding that Nikki felt like she would die before he finished. Sean continued to thrust until Nikki passed out from pain. Sean figured that that was enough of a lesson for her now and got up, kicking Nikki he walked away with a grin. Thinking to him self now for the next part. She will bow down yet or he would kill her in the process.

Nikki awoke awhile later in terrible pain, remembering what had happened she knew she had to find Shane. No, not Shane, trying to get up Nikki felt her legs give way. She sat back down and cried, trying to figure out what she had done to deserve this. "NIKKI," Nikki turned to the sound of some one yelling her name. In fear Nikki tried to crawl away thinking that it was Sean again. Glenn came through the trees and stopped. The sight in front of him tore his heart out. "Hey Matt I found her, come help me," Glenn said. Nikki finally realizing that it was Glenn and began to cry even harder as he lifted her up and stared back to the beach with her. "Hey Glenn is she going to be ok," Matt asked as he walked up to Glenn carrying a now passed out Nikki. "Yeah she'll be ok, have you been able to find Shane," Glenn asked. "Oh no, can't say we have," Matt added. As they neared camp they heard a faint sound of moaning. "Hey Nash go check that out, it's coming from over there," Glenn said. Nash went in the direction Glenn had suggested, "Hey I found Shane he looks ok, it looks like he took a hit to the head," helping Shane to his feet. "Nikki where's Nikki," Shane asked with a pleading in his voice. "She's going to be fine, Glenn and Matt are taking her down to the beach," Nash explained. "God Nash is she really ok. I'll kill who ever did this if they hurt her, I love her Nash," Shane said. "Well I guess I better tell you now then instead of later, she was beat up pretty bad and that's not all," Nash explained. "No don't tell me I think I know, God why this is so unfair," Shane turned away from his friend knowing that he couldn't stop the tears that fell from his eyes. "Hey man its cool," Nash said coming over to put his hand on Shane's shoulder. "I have to go to her, Nash" with that said Shane and Nash started back to the beach.
