Raven stared up at the stars and for the first time in his lonely life he felt safe. He looked at Prachi. She was sleeping soundly on the other side of his little campfire. He hadn't slept for ages and just the thought was making him drowsy. Soon enough he had drifted off to sleep.

Prachi felt someone brush their lips across the back of her neck. Without opening her eyes she giggled.

"Raven, you woke me up!" She whispered.

"Raven's still asleep, but I'm sure we can work something out," said a smooth, deep voice.

Prachi gasped. But before she could do anything else she felt a sharp prick in her neck. She went out like a light.

The next morning he woke up to find Prachi gone. He walked over to where she was sleeping last night. He found a note addressed to him.

Raven,

We have your bitch. Come to the abandoned mine that is about eight miles west your camp. Come alone. Don't bring your Zoid. Don't bring shadow. Walk. If you try and pull any tricks, she dies. If you bring anyone, she dies too. If you don't come we'll leave her were you can find it.

Reese.

Raven was shattered. The one time he thought she was safe, Hiltz and Reese kidnaps her. He couldn't let anything happen to her or he wouldn't be able to forgive himself.

He was really going to make them pay now. He grabbed a couple of things and set off towards to horizon.

At the cave

"Wake up, little girl."

Prachi cracked her eyes open and jerked her head up. She was leaning up against a wall with her hands chained up. She looked around. She couldn't see the source of the voice.

A woman stepped out. She had blue hair and blue organoid standing behind her.

"Who are you?" Prachi asked.

"Don't worry about that. You don't need to know. We are just protecting you from Raven. He's a bad person you know?"

"Raven is not a bad person!" Prachi yelled.

"Oh yeah?" Reese hit her with a rush of images. Raven killing people, blowing up things, murdering her dad then murdering her.

"No!" She yelled, shaking her head. "No! Raven wouldn't do that anymore! You're a liar!"

"He doesn't care about you. He doesn't care about anything except himself."

"Yes he does!" Prachi jumped up and tried to charge Reese. "Yes he does!" As soon as she was up the chain yanked her back down. She hit her head on the wall and blood stared pouring out and sliding down the side of her face.

She stared up at Reese, smirking. Reese stepped closer to Prachi. Prachi suddenly kicked out and hit Reese straight in the shin.

Reese jumped back, holding her leg. "You bitch," she snarled, hitting Prachi across the face.

Prachi laughed. "Is that the best you can do? Too bad, so sad. You lose."

"Shut the fuck up, bitch," Reese growled. Before she could hit Prachi, a hand caught hers.

"Leave her alone, she beat you," said the smooth voice she heard the night before.

"No she-"

"We need her alive. Now piss off," he said.

Prachi was weary of this new person. He looked strong so there was no use in trying to hurt him. He walked around and stood in front of her.

She felt uneasy and nervous. She didn't know what he was going to do to her. She knew she couldn't trust him but she had to be strong or else she knew she wouldn't get out of this alive.

"What's your name?" Hiltz asked.

Prachi stared up at him, too petrified to talk. He reminded her of Spencer and what he tried to do to her. She didn't want that to happen again and she didn't have anyone to save her this time.

"You can talk. I wont kill you. You know? Raven has good taste to choose someone like you. Your cute."

He moved in to Prachi and she kicked out again but missed. Hiltz pushed his thumb and fingers on either side of her face and said, "If I was you, I wouldn't try that again or things could get… messy." He smirked. Prachi whimpered.

He pressed his mouth hard on hers. She squeaked in surprise and tried to pull away. When he did pull away Prachi coughed. Hiltz moved down to her neck and Prachi edged into him. She lifted her arm and put the chain around his neck. She pulled it tight.

Hiltz started choking. He grabbed the chain and tried to loosen it. Of course he was much stronger than Prachi so he succeeded.

"Bugger off!" She screamed at him, trying to kick him again.

He jumped up, rubbing the feeling back into his throat. He glared at her before hitting her, giving her another black bruise. Prachi's eyes started watering from the pain.

"Stand up," He ordered to her.

She shook her head and turned it away from him in fear that he might hit her again.

He sighed, grabbed her by the scruff and yanked her to her feet. She was unsteady and she felt like she was going to just fall back down again.

He pinned her arms on either side of her and pushed his body into her. She was trapped. She couldn't go down, go forward or back.

"You better start being nice to me because when Raven comes, I will kill you." He stepped back from her and she fell to the ground, not moving.

Hiltz smirked and left.
