Chapter 16

It was cold, in fact freezing. She didn't care though. The pain from each whip she received still hurt her as she watched from outside the window. She watched as is rained once again and the thunder cracked loudly and lighting pierced the night sky. Her pale hands were clenched tightly into fists as she sat in the room in silence. Her hair was wet from the freezing cold bath the lord of the manor made her take. She was dressed in a cotton white cloth like a servant. Her scars were now more visible then ever but nothing was more visible then the anger and cold in her eyes.

I'll kill her. She thought. I kill her when she's asleep. I'll kill her and then I'll escape. I'll run away farther this time. I'll then finally be at peace but… Rob… why? Why did you have to die? Why couldn't you let me die too? I don't want to be alone anymore.

A single tear slid down her pale cheek as she felt pain fill her heart as well as angry and hatred. All she had ever wanted was to be at peace, to be free and live happily. But the life she knew was cruel and uncaring. No one wanted her to be happy. They only cared about themselves. Even Rob when he chose to die for her instead of letting her die, too.

Stephanie finally snapped from her daze and looked around. She looked out out of the bared window and saw the moon hanging high in the sky and guessed that it was about 11. She couldn't wait any longer. She had to kill Becky now. She wanted her dead. She stood up and walked over to the door but to her luck it was locked. She then knelt down and looked under the door. As she figured two guards were there. She pondered for a moment on how to get out and to get past them. She then looked around the room and saw vase on the nightstand. She then looked around and then grabbed the small chair she was sitting on and placed it right by the door. She smiled and grabbed the vase and smashed it to the floor. She then quickly hid behind the door.

The few seconds she had smashed the vase and hid the two guards came in. As they tried to get in the first one tripped over the chair and fell down. The second one then tripped over him in the process of trying to get in. As they were fumbling around Stephanie grabbed the keys out of one of the guard's hands and then ran out of the room and locked them inside. She then tossed the keys aside and scurried down the hall. She slipped past the guards and night servants and made her way to Lord Kane's room.

Before entering she peered down each end of the hall and saw no one. But she knew sooner or later the two bumbling guards would cause such a racket, which would eventually lead to the awakening of Lord Taker. She then slipped into the room closing the door behind her. She saw Becky sleeping on the bed and it angered her. How could she sleep so peacefully as if nothing is wrong! Stephanie thought. She growled and then slowly crept toward the bed. Once there she grabbed a loose pillow and said, "Pleasant dreams, bitch." She then covered her face with the pillow in attempts to suffocate her.

After a little bit she felt Becky begin to stir. Soon after she felt her begin to struggle and try to push her off. Stephanie tried her best to use all her strength to keep the pillow on her but she was too weak from lack of food, water, and loss of blood. After a moment Becky was able to find her strength and push Stephanie off her. Stephanie stumbled to the floor with the pillow still in her hands. Becky sat strait up in her bed gasping for air. She then turned and saw the person trying to kill her.

"STEPHY?" Becky said in disbelief.

"YOU LITTLE BITCH YOU KILLED ROB!" Stephanie cried out in anger.

Her eyes were full of hatred burning at her. She then tried to attack Becky by lunging at her but Becky managed to get away. Stephanie stumbled off the bed and saw Becky running to the other side of the room. She then turned around and looked at Steph with fear in her eyes.

"Stephy, please listen to me, I did not tell Taker anything I promise!" Becky pleaded as Stephanie began to stalk her.

Becky gasped as Stephanie lunged at her again. Luckily she was able to dodge it. Stephanie growled and was about to attack her again when the door burst opened and three guards came in tackling Stephanie and restraining her. Stephanie tried her best to fight them but they were to strong for her. She then heard Lord Undertaker's voice. He was speaking to Becky at the moment but she knew it was only a matter of seconds until he unleashed his rage at her.

"WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS YOU LITTLE BITCH?" Taker yelled out right before he smacked the young girl cruelly. Stephanie looked up at him with anger in her eyes. Not the anger like she had with Becky but more anger and more hatred that it burned like a fire. When she didn't answer Taker went to hit her again but before he could he went to slap her when Becky stopped him.

After that outburst the two began to argue and then Taker had it with Becky. He told her to leave and never to return. Stephanie let out a low growl wishing to get her hands around Becky's throat and strangle her for her betrayal. When she saw Becky run away Taker put his full attention back to the disobedient girl. His green eyes glaring at her but she glared back with remorse.

"You think you can disobey me and live?" he questioned grabbing her face. She looked up at him and then said, "I'd rather burn in hell then live here for the rest of my life." Taker then backhanded her as hard as he could. "You will suffer, wench." He spat. He then signaled to the guards to take her away but before they did she said, "I'd rather suffer then ever be your god forsaken whore!" Taker stopped and pulled her back. He then shoved her into a wall. "I'll rape you in front of everyone this household wench." He threatened. "That would be the only way for ye to get what you want because no one would want a bastard like you!" she then spat strait in his face once again and kicked him.

Taker yelped as her foot collided with his shin. She then slipped free of his grasp and jump strait through the window. Luckily for her Kane's room was on the lowest level to the ground. She landed on the ground with glass shards cutting into her already scared and pale skin. Without even thinking she bolted from her spot to get away. If she was luckily she could catch up to Becky and kill her before she was caught once more. It was her only way to get revenge, even though kicking Taker made her feel mildly good.
