Chapter 31: Hidden Stairwell

Dave felt Jake start to stroke his hair. Dave pulled out and shoved Jake away. "You are not going to rape me again!" he yelled and ran out of the room. Jake stared in shock at the door. "What was he talking about Jake?" Rose asked. "I am not sure. What did he mean about not raping him again? I never touched him," Jake said. Rose looked around the room to see if anything could of caused him to act that way. Her eyes fell on the bed. 'He couldn't have been raped here,' she thought. She walked over to the other side of the room and looked in the cradle to notice that it was empty. She gave a small growl and looked over at Jake. "Why don't you go after Dave, just to make sure he doesn't do anything he will regret?" Rose said. Jake gave a small nod, "I wonder what caused him to do that," he said as he left the room. Jake ran and saw Dave on the floor. He ran over to him and held him close as Dave said, "I am sorry Jake. I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just scared at the moment." "What did he do to you?" Jake asked Dave. Dave looked into Jake's gentle eyes and said, "He raped me one night…"

The Dark Dragon forced his lips to connect with the lips of the struggling Dave.

Dave fought hard against the Dark Dragon as his hands started to get closer to his body.

Dave blinked back a tear and continued looking at Jake after telling the story. Jake stared away at the wall. "I can't believe he would go that far," Jake said. Dave stared at Jake and said, "You must hate me now." "No Dave, I don't hate you. I hate the Dark Dragon for hurting you like that," Jake reassured him. Dave gave a small smile at Jake. "We have to go find the child," he said. Dave stood up and looked at a set of double doors. One was wide open. Jake stared at Dave and Dave looked at Jake. "I have never been in that room before. I will check it out alone if you don't mind," Dave said. Jake nodded and went back to the room.

Dave went into the door and up the stairs and gasped at the horrific sight that beheld him. The walls had blood on them. Some were streaked across the wall as if something bloody was dragged against it. He closed his eyes as he continued up the dark stair way and opened the door at the top and went in and closed the door only to see another horrific sight.
