Foreword: "arent they a little young? could u change there ages to make it more believeable?"
Not yet. They'll get older, but if made them older now, it'd throw off the time frame I set up for this. Besides, with some of the ideas I have for this, it's hard to imagine them being older and it still working the same.
"Hey man three guys beating up a girl? I mean seriously, what are you thinking!"
I was thinking "what would give TK a good reason to beat the crap out them?".
"you know what people like you are called? mental retards, or even worse perverts!"
Know what people like you are called? Whiners, crybabies, flamers, and so on. Do you always flame if someone throws in one thing that you don't like? Are you aware that not every fic has to avoid details that you don't like? Could you not grow up and allow the author to do it the way he/she sees fit? This may shock you, but there ARE people like that gang. People that sick. And when I get an idea like that, I give the exact way it's in my head. I do not sugarcoat. Sugarcoating, in my opinion, insults the readers.
Though I take steps to deal with complaints, not if they are presented like that. Insults will not get you any results. I consider that flaming, and I do not take any steps to please flamers. If they can't show me respect, then there's no reason for me to show them any.
Well, I'm sure as some of you have been waiting, the Evil Man makes his first appearance. You'll see just how sick this guy really is.
With his crowbar in hand, TK looked around for the Evil Man, knowing he wasn't there. But Kari had another dream. Third in less than a month. This frequency worried him. Kari's mental state was bad enough; these nightmares were only going to make it worse.
Finding nothing, TK headed back to bed, slightly disappointed. He wanted to "thank" that fiend for nearly destroying Kari. He saw the apologetic look on Kari's face. "I'm sorry for waking you," she quietly said, "I honestly though he was here." Kari always thought that he was here.
TK sat beside her and wrapped an arm around her. "It's okay," he soothed, "I'll do this every night if it helps you." Kari smiled laid back down. TK followed and she cuddled up against his chest. TK wrapped an arm around her.
"I wish I knew why my dreams were coming so frequently," Kari spoke again, "It really scares me. I don't think I can live like that. It's so hard already." Her voice cracked. TK tightened his arm.
"I'm sure this'll only be temporary," TK assured, hoping he was right, "And I will always be there to protect you." TK planted a kiss on her forehead and she closed her eyes. TK did the same and sleep overcame him once again.
Kari had no idea why she felt so tense. All she was doing was waiting for TK to get something to eat. In fact, she had come with him and she could shout to him at any time. She was perfectly safe. Yet, she was scared. Why?
Kari tried to calm herself. Suddenly, a firm arm grabbed her and pulled her into a nearby alley. Kari looked to see who it was and nearly had a heart attack. It's him! She couldn't believe it, but there he was. There was the Evil Man.
"Hello Kari," he spoke in a deep voice. Kari started to tremble. She tried to call for TK, but she couldn't get her mouth to work. She wanted to run, but her body wouldn't move. "It has been a while." He took a step closer.
"Go away," she whispered, "Please go away."
"You don't want me to leave," the Evil Man responded, "You liked what I did to you. Admit it. I know I liked it."
"Get away," Kari said, her voice coming back, "or I'll scream." He placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Come with me and I'll make it worth your while," he suggested in a sick tone. That did it. A surge of panic overrode and Kari screamed. She screamed as loud as she could for TK. The Evil Man, stepped back, snarling. "Shut up you little wretch!" he snapped and ran off. Still trembling, Kari started to sob. Then she felt the arms of her protector pull her into an embrace. She cried into his chest in relief. TK was here. She was safe again.
TK walked Kari, still crying into his chest home, ignoring all the questions that popped into his head. Once they finally got there, they sat on the bed and started to stroke her hair. After a few minutes, she let up.
"What happened?" he asked. It had to be serious. First her screaming and now this. Even in her fragile state, Kari would never break down the way she did. It had to be real bad. But what? What could do this to her?
"I saw him," she whispered, "I saw the Evil Man." TK instantly pulled her into a tight embrace. Even though he prepared himself for another run-in, there was no way Kari could handle it.
"Is that why you screamed?" he asked. She nodded.
"He talked to me," she continued, "He wants me to go with him again." She buried her face in TK's chest. "Please don't let him take me again." TK kissed her on the head.
"I won't," he promised, "If he goes near you, I'll make him regret it. We should stay together as much as possible. We should, at the most, be in shouting distance at all times." Kari nodded. "If he does come for you again, do exactly what you did today. If he had any brains, he'd never go near you if there were crowds around, and if you scream, you'll draw one in." Kari nodded again. There was no way TK was going to let that fiend touch his angel again.
Surprisingly, Kari had no dreams about the Evil Man. TK was positive that she'd have a real bad one, but nothing. Normally at this time, he head out to try and find breakfast, but Kari was still sleeping and he refused to go anywhere without her. There's no telling how she'd react if she woke and he wasn't there. He could wake her, but she looked so peaceful he decided against it. So beautiful. So innocent.
Her eyes slowly opened. "Thanks for waiting," she muttered. TK smiled and kissed her.
"I said we should be together at all times and I meant it," TK stated, "I'm surprised you didn't have any dreams." Kari managed a small smile.
"I thought I would," she responded, "but you're right. I guess it's because I have my protector with me." She cuddled up closer. TK stroked her hair.
"We should head out for some food." Kari looked a bit hesitant. "Don't worry," TK soothed, "It shouldn't take too long. I doubt the Evil Man will have a chance to get at you. Especially if you remember what I told you yesterday. Besides, I'm bringing the crowbar." Kari nodded. She was obviously still scared, but there was nothing TK could do about that. All he could do what provide as much protection as he could. "I WILL protect you," TK whispered.
Kari stepped into the alley and tried to relax. TK was nearby, but the streets were crowded. Even though crowds could help keep the Evil Man away, every time someone walked by, she always thought it was the Evil Man. She had to get away, so she hid in this alley, while staying close enough to draw attention if needed.
"Hello again, Kari," the last voice Kari wanted to hear. She turned and saw him again.
"Leave me alone," she begged.
"But I like you," the Evil Man responded. He licked his lips. "I'll bet you're as good as ever."
"TK!" Kari shrieked.
"Like he can do anything," the Evil Man stated. He took a step forward, but then TK's wonderful voice sounded.
"Get away from her!" Kari felt TK move beside and she clung to his side, feeling better. TK'll keep her safe. He'll protect her from this madman. She glared at the Evil Man. He looked a bit annoyed.
"You can have her back when I'm done," he spat out, "You should learn to share your toys." Kari felt TK tense up.
"Kari is not some toy for your sick pleasures!" TK snapped, "If it wasn't so crowded here, I'd kill you."
"Not willing to be brought in for murder?" the Evil Man mocked, "You're such a coward."
"You make one move," TK warned, "and we'll draw in a crowd. I'm sure you'd love the attention." The Evil Man snarled.
"I'll get you yet, Kari," he growled and stormed off.
"I'd draw in a crowd now," she heard TK mutter, "but I doubt anyone would believe us." Kari refused to let go of TK, for fear the Evil Man might return.
TK sat on the couch while holding the trembling Kari. She kept her face buried in his chest as TK held her. He wished he could make her feel better, but that wasn't possible. That fiend was back.
"Why can't he leave me alone?" Kari whimpered. TK began to gently rock her.
"I wish I knew," he answered, "If there's anything I can do to help, just tell me."
TK suddenly heard a trash can get knocked over outside. He felt Kari, and his heart, jump at the same time. "Should I go check?" TK asked. Kari nodded and moved away. "I won't be long, I promise," TK assured. Grabbing the crowbar, TK headed out.
For the first time, TK regretted finding such an empty place. It gave monsters like that man a good chance to do what they wanted. TK headed to the right of the building and saw a couple trashcans on their sides. Tightening his grip on the crowbar, TK looked around for any sign of the Evil Man.
"You can't protect her from me," his vile voice sounded, but from where TK couldn't tell.
"We'll see about that!" TK countered. He wasn't going to let this guy's tricks get to him.
"She's my favourite toy," he responded, "and I won't let you keep me from playing with her some more." TK struggled to maintain his temper.
Don't let him psyche you out, TK thought to himself. "I won't let you near her," he growled.
"I'll get to her when you're not around," the Evil Man countered.
"I'll be with at all times!"
"Like now?" A cold fear gripped TK's heart. He hadn't realized it, but he's here and Kari's back inside! Alone! Cursing himself for his carelessness, he dashed back in, and much to his relief, Kari was still there. Though, she looked like she'd seen a ghost.
"I heard him," she muttered, as TK made his way to her and pulled her into a protective embrace, "I heard you talking to him."
"I couldn't find him," TK told her as he began to stroke her hair, "but I did hear him. I'm so sorry I left you here. It won't happen again."
"It's okay," Kari answered, "We're still together. But now he knows where we live." That's right. He does know.
"I really wish I knew of another place where we could hide," TK admitted, "but I don't. But I'll protect you with every ounce of strength I have."
TK couldn't sleep. Normally it was easy. Kari was in his arms making him certain she was safe, but this time was different. Would she be their if he woke up? The Evil Man knew where Kari was. He couldn't let his guard down. But he couldn't go forever without sleeping. He needed to sleep. He was tired. But he couldn't. Not with the fear that Kari will be taken away during the night.
His eyes fell upon the sleeping beauty next to him. She, right now, was the very picture of innocence. She did nothing to deserve the pain that monster put her through. There had to be some way to protect her! There had to be! Some way he could keep that man away from her. Some way to make sure he'd never touch Kari again.
This was one of the few times TK had actually felt fear in a while. When growing up, he was harassed enough times that he pretty expected to be killed. He no longer feared for his life, but he did fear for Kari's. He was afraid of failing her. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to protect her.
His mind drifted to when he first saw her. Beaten and barely conscious. A complete mess. When he actually got to know her and found out what a wonderful person she was, he promised to himself that she'd never end up like the way he found her again. But then the Evil Man came into the picture. TK failed to protect Kari from him and he raped her. Two months of being raped before TK found her again. Two months. Unacceptable. He shouldn't have allowed her to be taken away from him. He should've forced himself to come. But he didn't. And Kari paid for that mistake. TK was going to do everything he possibly could to make sure Kari never goes through that again.
You can't protect her from me, that man's voice rang through TK's ears as he recalled his earlier confrontation. You can't protect her from me. She's my favourite toy and I won't let you keep me from playing with her some more. He hated to hear this. He hated to think that he'd be unable to protect Kari from him.
Shut up! TK mentally screamed.
You can't protect her from me.
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
You can't protect her from me. These words haunted TK. No matter how hard he tried, they came back into his head. And, for the first time in a long while, he felt completely helpless.
Other times he could protect Kari. Usually it was some bullies trying to feel tough, but TK could handle them. It was easy. Like that gang from before, just teach them fear. But how could he teach that man fear? How could he keep him from Kari? Before, TK was ready to kill him. But now...
Not willing to be brought in for murder? That was the exact reason. He had never considered what might happen to him if he did kill the man. Or, what might happen to Kari. He'd get in major trouble and Kari could be sent to live with complete strangers who know nothing about her. He couldn't take the chance of him and Kari being separated. Ever. It was too hard on both of them.
Kari was scared. No, not just scared, terrified. She had woken up before TK and now it seemed like every shadow was hiding the Evil Man. He knew where she was. He could walk in a take her at any time. She wasn't nearly strong enough to resist.
Stop thinking like that! she scolded herself, TK's here! He'll protect me. She became aware of his strong arm around her. TK will protect me. He always does. She tried to relax, reminding herself that TK wouldn't let the Evil Man near her.
What if TK can't? Kari almost jumped at the thought that crept into her head. When she heard TK yelling at the Evil Man earlier, she did hear the Evil Man saying that TK wouldn't be able to. What if it was true? What if TK couldn't?
DON'T THINK THAT! Kari shrieked in her head. TK WILL protect her! He ALWAYS does! This won't be any different! It won't!
What if TK can't? The thought repeated itself, What if TK can't protect me?
He can!
What if he can't?
He can! He can!
What if he can't?
He CAN! He always DOES! This won't be any different! It won't! Kari felt tears form. She couldn't understand why she kept thinking TK wouldn't be able to. He never failed to protect her before and there was no reason to think otherwise! He won't fail. He'll keep me safe. Like always. Feeling tired again, Kari closed her eyes.
When TK awoke, the first thing he noticed was that he was cold. Then he realized he was in a chair. Since when did we have a chair? he thought. As he opened his eyes and became aware of the ropes holding him to the chair, his hands tied behind it. What happened! he thought as he looked around. He was still home, but he did not recall ever having a chair. Especially some hard wooden one like this.
Kari was still asleep on the bed, looking peaceful, but it didn't make TK feel much better. How did he get here and how was he tied up...NO! It can't be!
"I drugged her a bit more than you," the last voice TK wanted to hear spoke from behind. The Evil Man walked into TK's view. TK struggled to get up, but the ropes held him in place.
I should never have fallen asleep! How could I be so careless!
"I said you wouldn't be able to protect her from me," he mocked, "and I want you to watch what I do to her. I never tried it with an audience. Too bad you never had a chair in here, had to bring one of my own. Very annoying. I'll just have to take it out on her."
"Don't touch her!" TK shot out and tried to stand, but the ropes held tightly. Keeping him from getting up. Keeping him from keeping his promise to protect her.
"Oh, I'll do more than touch her," the Evil Man stated, "I've always been aroused by little girls. She's the oldest I've ever felt attracted to. Girls that young are most fun." Until that moment, TK had no idea anyone could be so sick.
I knew child molesters were sick, but not like this! "You sick animal," TK growled. A look of pure rage formed on the Evil Man. He struck TK across the face. TK ignored the pain.
"I AM NOT SICK!" he shouted, "JUST BECAUSE I LIKE LITTLE GIRLS DOES NOT MAKE ME SICK!" TK suppressed a grin. He had a weakness. A way to attack this guy. A way to push his sanity.
"Raping them does," TK responded in a calm tone. There was no way he was going to let some physical abuse get to him. TK was struck again.
"I AM NOT RAPING THEM! I AM GIVING THEM PLEASURE!" This guy truly was crazy.
"Did you ever ask them?" TK was answered by a shot to his stomach. Blood bubbled up and he spit it out. "Is hitting me your way of feeling better about being so sick?" Hit in the stomach again.
"Stop hitting TK!" Kari's voice sounded. The Evil Man gave a sick grin and made his way over to Kari.
"Why should I?" he asked, "I like hitting him." TK didn't like where this was going.
Don't answer the way I think you will, Kari, he mentally pleaded, Don't try to help me. I've got this under control.
"If you stop hitting him," Kari responded, "You can have me."
"DON'T!" TK shouted. The Evil Man pushed her on to the bed and began kissing her.
"Get off her you sick rapist!" TK shouted. No response. Not good. He had to stop this. "You sick animal! Stop it!" Now that monster was beginning to remove Kari's dress. Something came to TK. "Just because you have no chance with the women doesn't mean you should rape little girls!" That got a response. The Evil Man stopped and threw Kari to the ground and stormed towards TK.
"YOU SHUT UP!" he exploded. He shoved TK's chair to the ground and stomped on his chest. TK winced at the pain of his hands being crushed, but felt the chair break. The man got off and TK got up, the ropes falling off.
"Got rejected few times, haven't you?" TK mocked. The Evil Man responded by slamming TK into a wall and grabbing his neck.
"I WILL KILL YOU!" TK struggled to force the Evil Man to let go of his neck.
"You sick animal," TK choked out. He was tossed the side.
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" the Evil Man shouted, "QUIT LAUGHING! STOP LAUGHING!"
Laughing? This guy's more crazy than I thought. The Evil Man stomped towards. He raised his hand, bug then TK heard a thump and the Evil Man collapsed. Behind him was Kari with the crowbar.
"I got him," she remarked. TK rushed over and hugged her.
"Are you okay?" She nodded.
"He didn't touch anything this time." TK smiled.
"That was very brave of you," he told her, "the way you got him to stop hitting me." Kari's face lit up and she kissed him.
"What do we do with him?" she asked.
"I'll drag him somewhere he'll be seen and tell others about him." Kari nodded.
"I knew you'd protect me," she muttered.
"Of course I did, I'm so proud of what you did."
"There was no way I'd just stand by while you get hurt. You said out bond is unbreakable, and that would mean doing my part." TK smiled. It was times like this he felt so lucky.
Afterword: Had some trouble ending it. Not to mention I had to keep redoing parts of it. But I got through it. I won't be giving the guy's name yet.
