Hello everyone! It's been so long since I've updated this story. I had some writers block and I was super busy at school. I'm sorry. Everyone wanted to know who the mystery guy is and I left you all with a cliffhanger…so here's the next chapter!

Threat

The next day, Amethyst walked to school alone. It was a nice day. The sun was shining and the birds were chirping. Amethyst was in happy mood and also in a defensive mood. This day marked something that she didn't want to be reminded of. She finally reached Domino High. She walked to homeroom and sat in her desk. Ryou came up to her.

"Good morning Amethyst! How are you today?"

"Morning. I'm fine Ryou." She said in a defensive way. Ryou noticed this.

"Are you okay? It sounds like you're worried about something…like you're in a defensive mode or something."

"I'm fine Ryou!" she said. Ryou knew something was wrong with her, but he didn't want to make her mad. "Ok…I'll see you later ok?" he said unsurely as the bell rang. "Ok Ryou." She said. She left to go to her first class. Ryou watched her leave with a sad look on his face.

The school day went by fast for once. Amethyst exited out of the school quickly. Ryou walked out slowly. He looked up to find Amethyst running fast from the school.

"Amethyst!" he yelled. She kept on running because she didn't hear him. After yelling her name, he ran after her.

Amethyst ran like her life depended on it. Instead of taking her normal route to get home, she took another to avoid the thing she didn't want to be reminded of. She turned a corner, revealing an alley. She didn't like the look of the alley, but if it was a way to get home, she would run through it. She got lucky—there were no thugs in the alley. She ran through the alley in a quick pace but something stopped her and made her scream.

Ryou ran through Domino, trying to find Amethyst. He stopped for a quick rest to catch his breath.

'Where could she have gone that fast?' he asked himself. Then he heard a scream and I sounded like Amethyst. Ryou quickly jumped up and ran to her scream.

A dark figure had made Amethyst fall to the ground. She had a very scared look on her face.

"You thought that you could run away from me, didn't you Amethyst? You thought you could get away with hitting me when we were on our date last time a saw you? You thought you could get away by moving to Domino were I could track you down?"

"No! That wasn't a date! You tried to rape me! That's why I kicked you! I don't love you! Leave me alone you brute!" she said.

"Rape huh? I don't care! You're coming back with me!" he said grabbing her.

"No!" she yelled, trying to get away from him. "Leave me alone! I'm not going to back to America with you!" she yelled. "SHUT UP!" he yelled, slapping her. The slap was so powerful, it made her hit the floor. Her peach cheek was now a stinging red color. Tears formed in her amethyst eyes. Bruce was going to strike her again until something hit him.

"Ryou!" Amethyst yelled.

"Leave her alone! Hitting a woman is unacceptable!" Ryou said. "Hitting a woman? She may have the body of a woman but she ain't no woman!" Bruce said. "She's only good for a good play toy and nothing else!"

Ryou was shocked. How could someone say that about a beautiful girl? Amethyst was a special girl to him…she was far more great than for her beauty.

In the blink of an eye, he was on the ground, knocked out. Ryou's fist was balled up tight. Amethyst was amazed. She didn't know that Ryou could fight. Ryou helped her up from the ground and carried her to his house.

"Ryou thanks so much for helping me. He would've beaten me if you didn't show up." Amethyst said.

"Amethyst, what happened and who was that attacking you?" Ryou asked in a serious tone.

Amethyst didn't want to talk about it but she did anyway.

"His name is Bruce…he's my…ex boyfriend."

"WHAT?"

Hey I left another cliffie! Bruce's past with Amethyst will be explained in the next chapter. See ya then and remember to review! Also my other stories: Loving my best friend (digimon) and Hauted (Yugioh) will be updated soon.
