Chapter 1

"Mother, I do not wish to marry Alex!"

16-year-old Mia Tunderen was standing angrily on a stool, her crossed arms wrinkling the beautiful silver dress she was wearing.

"I thought you liked Alex, Mia. He's a nice young man." Her mother said, hastily trying to fix her daughter's hair.

"He's only nice when you or Papa are around. He's terrible to Isaac, even if I'm with him!" Mia stated, glaring at Angel.

Angel quickly hugged Mia and sighed. "I don't want you to marry anyone, but it's your father's decis..."

"Mama, he knows I don't like Alex!"

"He can support you!"

"I'd rather starve than marry him!"

Angel opened her mouth to reprimand her child, but she was interrupted by a knocking sound at the door.

"One minute!" she called, and zipped up Mia's dress.

"Mother!" Mia complained loudly, and jumped off the stool to open the door.

She opened the door to find her older brother, Isaac, in the doorframe, and suddenly felt the urge to sob. Bursting into tears, she collapsed into his arms. Tentativley, he hugged her back and kissed her hair softly.

"Isaac, don't make me marry him! Please!" She cried, tears staining his shirt.

Isaac sighed silently and squeezed her reasurringly. Their mother crossed her arms.

"Mia Elizabeth, stop your tears now. You have to marry him whether you like it or not! Now stop crying! What if he or his family hears your blubbering?"

"He's here for me now?" Mia gasped. She burrowed her head into her brother's chest.

The boy looked up at his mother and then back down to his sister with his bright blue eyes.

"Mia..." Angel whispered sadly.

"Mom, please..."

"Mia?"

A new voice had joined the chaos of sounds. All of them looked around to see Mia's father, Mikali, had poked his head in the door.

"Please come out." He said softly. His voice whistled a whimper of sympathy, but his face masqueraded a signal of happiness.

Before his sister could protest, Isaac grabbed her arm and pulled her towards the door. She looked up at him with an expression mixed of shock and anguish, but before Mia could speak, the older boy put a finger to her lips.

You can do this. It will be ok. His eyes seemed to speak to her soul.

Mia smiled weakly and grabbed Isaac's wrist. Closing her beautiful eyes, she stepped out of the doorway, clutching her brother.

When the lovely Mia opened her eyes, she almost grimaced when she saw Alex sitting by the fire. He had his arms crossed and was slouched against a chair casually, unaware of her at first. His eyes quickly were drawn to her and he smiled broadly.

"Miss Mia, It is lovely to see you tonight." He murmured, standing up. Smoothly he reached down and planted a gentle kiss on Mia's hand. Mia forced herself to smile.

"Nice to see you too." she managed to mutter.

Isaac still was holding on to his sister defensivly. It made him sick to see Alex lie like this, but he was younger and weaker than him and would not be able to fight, and he had no way to voice his opinion. The best he could do was squeeze his sister's hand and shoot occasional sinister glares at Alex.

"Rys, maybe we should leave the two alone and discuss their...future." Mikali hinted, wording his words cautiously. Angel sighed.

Looking around, Isaac noticed Alex's father was present. His mother had not attended the meeting, which was a bit of a shame, for she was most kind to Isaac out of the family. Rys often just regarded him as a stranger, sometimes attempting conversation but often ignoring him. Alex, however...

"Hey, you, you get out." Alex snarled as soon as Mikali and Rys were out of the room. Isaac gripped Mia's arm and scowled.

"Alex, please, he can stay..." Mia whispered, faking affection for her fiancee. Isaac shook his head and hugged his sister. He trudged slowly out of the room, leaving Mia and Alex alone.

"Not when I'm your husband." The man growled. "I can't believe your parents were soft enough to allow him into your home. Who knows what accursed things the demon could bring to your home. I'm surprised you all haven't been damned already..."

"Shut up!" Mia yelped, raising her arm to slap him. Before she could reach his skin, however, Alex reached up and seized her hand. In one swift move, he twisted her arm around her back and had her pushed against the wall.

"I'll have none of that." He growled, and unexpectedly kissed her deeply. The girl attempted to shove him away, but he forced her to the ground and kissed her again, but even more passionatly.

"Get off!" Mia shouted painfully, wrenching her arm from behind her back and pushing Alex off of her. Smirking, he forced his knee onto her and trapped her on the floor.

"You're a good wench, you know." He muttered, running his hand down Mia's torso. "You'll be a good wife for me."

Using all the strength she could muster, Mia forced Alex off of her and sat up.

"Stop it, or I swear I'll scream!"

Alex smiled coldly.

"You should be happy you're pretty. If you weren't, I'd rid of you after..."

"After what?"

But Alex said no more. Instead he kissed Mia again and again, making sure to keep his lips against hers as much as possible so she couldn't scream as she had threatened. For an entire two hours, he kissed her deeply, while Mia sat on the receving end of the lust, feeling sick.

Isaac was trying to sleep when Mia stumbled into their room around midnight. Finally, Alex had let her go off to bed, but not untill after she whined and pleaded on how tired she was. She was not lying to him, either, as a great deal of her strength had been used trying to stop her fiancee from...well...things.

"Isaac, are you awake?" She whispered, kneeling by his bed. Isaac rolled over and nodded as a response.

"I don't want to marry him, Isaac. He sickens me, he's so lustful."

Her brother's eyes melted into an expression of sympathy. He reached out and grabbed Mia's hand gently to comfort her. For the first time that night, she felt safe, almost...happy.

"I doubt you'll want to know what he did..." Mia muttered, turning to her own bed. Isaac breathed a silent sigh and ran his fingers lightly down his sister's back.

Mia tensed when she felt his touch. After what Alex had done, she did not want to feel the touch of anyone, even her best friend.

"Isaac, please don't." She murmured, pushing away his hand. Isaac was a little surprised, but he realized his sister's mind was tainted by the memories of Alex touching her. It was a personal thing right now.

"I love you." Mia told him solemnly. Isaac nodded. He pointed to himself, put his hand over his heart, and pointed to Mia. Mia smiled. This was Isaac's sign for I love you. Being mute, he had to use sign language to communicate with his family, but they didn't mind.

Quickly, Mia hugged him and kissed him goodnight, then retreated to her own bed.

No one knew what would happen that night. No one even saw the suspicious signs. No one saw it coming.

MK: Whoa, creepy...

Keeya: Haha, Alex is a perv...

Isaac-chan: He's so weird...

Mia-chan: And we already knew that.

MK: So yeah, review for the next chapter, if you want. OK?

Ivan-chan: No.

MK: Did I ask for a moral?

Felix-chan: Someone gave you a moral?

Picard-chan: slaps head
