The girl stood next to him looked lost and confused. Her long strawberry red curly hair made her silver eyes stand out. A few freckles dotted about her nose and she was wearing a pair of short dungarees over a pale pink t- shirt, one of the straps undone and hanging in front of her stomach. She was pretty and she had a rose coloured beyblade gripped tightly in one hand.
Yushi bounded up to her and held her hand out to the timid looking girl. "Hi I'm Yushi!" she cried excitedly.
The girl looked at her out stretched hand for a moment before taking it shyly, "I'm Kes, who are all of you?"
One by one they all introduced themselves, instantly making friends with the new girl.
"How comes we ain't seen you before, Kes?" Enrique asked, sliding up to the new girl.
"Cuz I only been here a few days, silly" Kes giggled. "I woke up this morning in my dorm, my friends gone and this on my finger" she held up her hand to reveal a small gold ring with a tiny sun on it.
"Whoa, very nice" he said sweetly. Kes blushed furiously and turned away.
"Have you seen anyone else Kes? Cuz we've still got a spare room here" Max said loudly, pointing down the corridor at a deep orange coloured door. Each of them had found their designated rooms last night. Dizzi had explained their situation to the new comer, who had surprisingly not been that shocked and had taken it well.
"Come to think of it, I have" she said thoughtfully, "a few people actually. Three of the members from that band that were playing at the Friday dance. Delinquent Boys? I think it was, and three other girls, there could be more but I'm not sure"
Enrique snickered at her version of the band name, while Robert merely rolled his eyes, muttering something about uncouthness under his breath.
"Arh!" everyone suddenly turned to look Tala who was rubbing his knuckles, as though they pained him. He turned to look at them sheepishly "Sorry, just a twinge"
'Oh Tala, are you thinking of me too?' a voice whispered. Tala whipped around only to find no where there.
"Did you hear that?" he asked his friends.
"Hear...what, Tala?" Eddy said, looking around him confused.
"I thought I heard...her" he said softly.
'TALA!!!!!!' the distant voice wailed in his head.
"Okay, now I definitely know I heard her!" he cried. His friends looked at him as though he'd gone mad. They couldn't hear a thing. Tala stumbled towards the door back out into the main corridors of the school. He was held back by Gary.
"Let me go!" he struggled against the vice like grip, "I've gotta find her!"
"We don't know where she is, Tala, she could still be in the school, or in the next country for all we know" Oliver said softly, trying to calm the hysterical teen.
"I'm betting on the first one" Johnny said determinately, "Kes, what did the band members you saw look like?"
"Um, there was a tall blonde one, one with pale lavender hair and eyes. Oh and the lead singer"
Kai's ears picked up Raven's faint intake of breath at the mention of Ozuma.
"See, they're still in the school somewhere!" Tala's voice cracked as he tried to escape Gary, "We have to go now!"
"Tala, what did you hear?!" Raven strode up to Tala and seized his shoulders, Gary let go and he slumped onto Raven, his injured leg crumpling beneath him.
She stared straight into his tear filled eyes, "what did she say?" she said more softly.
"She asked if I was thinking of her too, and then she called my name, she screamed it, Raven, she screamed it!" he seemed on the verge of breaking down.
"Kai, we've got to go now" she called frantically, he simply nodded quickly and stood up.
Elsewhere...again
Hannah's POV
When I had finished pounding the inside of the shower, I wrapped a towel around myself and went in search of fresh clothes. After raving through a few drawers I came across some clothes that fitted me perfectly. How they came to be there I didn't want to know.
I dressed quickly and viewed my reflection in the mirror. I was dress in a pair of fitted black trousers, black tick soled boots came up to just below my knees, my trousers tucked inside them. I wore a three quarter length sleeve black shirt with a silver dragon on the back, over a black lace bra. The shirt laced up the front and had two pockets on the front. I also found a black leather choker that buckled around the front that was one way to protect my neck from my captor's biting antics. During my search for my outfit I had practically pulled the room apart, clothes were thrown everywhere and I'd managed to break one of the doors off the wardrobe.
Settling myself on the window ledge I pulled my knees up to my chest and hugged them to me. I gazed out of the window, seeing that I was in the very top floor in the attic. I could see the forest and over the school courtyard, the bench where my friends and I had sat many times and talked was in plain view.
I was so lost in my own thoughts, about my friends, life and him, I didn't even notice Bryan return.
"I see you found the clothes I got for you" he said silkily in my ear, making me jump away from the window ledge and onto the bed, dropping into a fighting stance. "They suit you well" he said simply, ignoring my wary position. He disappeared into the bathroom for a few moments before waltzing back into the room.
Slowly I sank down to sit on the bed, though keeping a wary eye on the lavender haired teen, lest he should attack me.
"You're quiet tonight" he noted simply, dropping down into the armchair near the fire.
"I have nothing to say to you" I spat.
"Actually" he began, "I think you owe me an apology, for nearly completely destroying my shower and room"
"So, you can't stop me doing it"
"Oh yes I can, what do you suppose those are for?" he asked, pointing over my shoulder to something hidden behind the fabric of the four poster's hangings.
I reached out and pulled the hangings back. A set of chain and manacles were bolted to the hall and I quickly dropped the velvet hangings back into place.
"I do not want to know what you use those for" I said quickly.
Bryan let out a low snicker, "that would be your punishment for what you did to me earlier, nearly damaged me you did"
"I'm not going in those!" I said firmly. No way was I going to be chained up.
"I think you'll find you have little choice in the matter" he leered at me, crawling onto the end of the bed while I scurried backwards until my back hit the headboard.
"Kurai Hassha Suru!" I shouted, holding my hands out towards him. A soft black glow had formed around my hands and was pulsing out towards him
"Uriba!" he said loudly, and the glow disappeared from my fingers, and they dropped uselessly to my sides, as though they were weighed down with lead, the same happened to my feet. I was effective pinned.
"Now then, be good little girl" he sneered as he clamped the manacles shut around my wrists and ankles. He placed a rough kiss on my unwanting lips, enjoying having me squirming beneath him. "This won't take long" he smirked at me, and started pulling frantically at the laces in my shirt.
"No, I don't want this, stop it!" I yelled.
"But I do, and in case you've forgotten, you are mine and therefore I can do what I want with you" he gloated in between placing filthy kisses on the flesh he'd managed to uncover. I let out a tiny whimper, unable to fight back.
"What's this?" he asked suddenly, "trying to hide my mark?" he ran his finger along the edge of the choker, "or are you trying to make it easier to tie you up?" he added with a smirk.
I glowered at him and gave a small growl. He almost had my shirt completely off, but was struggling with the last few knots. This would buy me a little time, but it wouldn't save me from what was going to happen if I didn't stop him somehow.
He unbuckled the leather collar and threw it over his shoulder, before attacking the bottom of my ear lobe with his teeth, nipping a pulling, making me cringe at his closeness. I tried to move my body as far away from him as possible, without much luck. He ran his fingers in small circles around the painful mark on my neck.
"You know, I think this is starting to fade" he said, more to himself than anyone else. Without another word he dived at my neck and sank his teeth in. Arching my back I screamed out a name.
"TALA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I felt him frown against my skin. Bringing his head up he glared at me, he lunged forwards and grabbed my chin, bringing my face to only an inch away from his.
"I don't want to hear his name!" he gritted out. "I want to hear my name, I want to hear you scream it!"
"Never!" I spat, "I will never call your name! I would rather die then let you touch me willingly!"
"But you promised you'd be mine willingly" he jutted his bottom lip out, giving me a disgusting attempt at a 'puppy dog look'. The pout dissolved into that regular smirk that graced his face.
"And yet you have to tie me down so you can so much as get near me" I growled, "Face it Bryan, I will never be yours!"
"Don't you remember our little conversation at the dance, cuz I can always go back and finish what I started!" he gloated.
I closed my eyes, remembering what had happened during that period of time.
Flashback
She had gone outside to escape all of the dancing couples. Rei and Mariah, Max and Emily, Yushi and Johnny, Tyson and Hilary, hell even Raven and Ozuma, as much as she despised the boy, she envied them all. She couldn't stand it anymore, couldn't stand the fact that they all had someone and could be with them in the open while she and Tala hid away in the shadows, kept their relationship a secret. She hated knowing that she couldn't do what her friends were doing with Tala. She couldn't flaunt him around, show him off to other people or even show affection whilst others were around.
She felt a sudden weight on her hip, someone resting a hand there. Her dress was still intact at this point. She leaned backwards into the unknown person. She frowned to herself, she couldn't smell vanilla, Tala always smelled of vanilla.
"Tala?" she half turned, only to find the person was definitely not Tala. It was the very person she didn't want to see. Bryan.
"What do you want?!" she snapped, quickly moving away from him.
Bryan merely chuckled and folded his arms over his chest, "my my, you've gotten rather close to the T-man haven't ya?"
'Crap!' she thought, 'I've just given myself away! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!' she scolded herself. Trying to retain as much composure as she could, she drew herself up to her full height, which was not very big.
"What's it to you?" she asked casually, she subconsciously took a step backwards as his expression darkened.
"More than you think, darkling" he said darkly.
Hannah was getting confused, "How so? Oh don't tell me, you don't want your precious boy to get tainted by me and my friends" she said with a knowing smirk.
"Not at all" he took a step towards her. Her eyes widened, she didn't like this at all, he was scaring her slightly.
"What was it then?" she tried to keep the panic from her voice.
Unexpectedly he lunged forwards and slammed her backwards. She let out a gasp as her back hit the stone wall behind her. His face was inches away from hers, a strange expression on his face. Sadness and pain. She'd never seen these expressions on him before, and it scared her to no end.
"The fact that he has you and I don't!" he cried out. This shocked Hannah more than anything else,, she'd no idea he'd ever felt like this about her. But there was no way she could ever return his feelings.
"I'm sorry Bryan, but I belong to another" she said softly, trying to pry his fingers off her shoulders.
"But I can and will make you mine!" he cried, his eyes shining with glee. "And there's nothing you can do about it!" he swooped in and sank his teeth into the soft flesh of her neck, piercing the skin. She let out a small whimper, feeling the hot blood course down her neck and chest.
"Get off me! What are you doing?!" she cried, and struggled under his grip.
When he finally let go his lips were stained with blood, giving him a vampiric look. "Now you bear my mark"
"Are you crazy?!" she yelled, pressing her hand to her neck.
"Most likely yes, and now you are mine and there's nothing anyone can do about it!" he nearly shouted happily. "So don't even think of setting your little toy boy on me, cuz I will snap him like a twig!"
She could think of nothing to say, she just stared at him incredulously. She struggled furiously as he crushed his lips against hers. She felt sick as the taste of her own blood entered her mouth, and wanted nothing more than to throw up. She could feel his hands ripping at the cords that held her dress together, in his haste he ripped one sleeve clean off. And her skirt was ripped up to her thigh on one side in his haste to get at her.
Her dress was ripped and stained with blood, her hair was full of the red substance. She felt his tongue sliding along her earlobe and she wanted nothing more that to rip it out of his putrid mouth. "If you don't become mine full, I shall kill him you know" he murmured by her ear. She froze, knowing that he spoke the truth. "This is promise you" he whispered.
"Yo Bry?!" A voice called from inside, he hastily stepped away from her, letting her fall to the ground in a bloody heap, surrounded by the tatters of her dress.
"See you around MY darkling" he whispered as he let go of her mouth. She immediately spat, causing him to look at her in discern. "That's not nice!" he simply said and backhanded her, throwing her over to one side. He left abruptly, leaving her on the floor.
After lying there for what seemed like hours, she got up and dragged herself through to the kitchens of the school, she raved through drawers until she found what she was looking for, a sharp knife.
She felt dirty and lifted her hair away from her face, closing her eyes she sliced the knife through it at her shoulders, and carried on doing so until it finished unevenly at her shoulders and the sodden with blood pieces lay on the floor around her.
"I give to you, The Shattered Souls!" she heard faintly in the background. Taking to her feet, she raced towards the stage area, not caring for her appearance, she would not let her friends down when they needed her.S-E: O.o omg did I really write that?! Please review!
