Chapter 2.

Seto's POV!

After a few moments I withdrew my fist from the wall, leaving a slight dent and a small amount of blood to ooze away from my previous wound. Not taking a notice of my now throbbing knuckles I strode briskly over to continue with my work.

After a few minuets of typing non-stop I finally decided to call it quits. There was know way on earth that I was going to get any work done, I was being distracted by what the man had said to me. I'm a 'prince'… and I'm supposed to get married to someone I don't even know!

I felt my anger boiling again. 'I'm not getting married – let alone to someone I've never met!' I thought furiously.

All in one swift motion I turned my laptop off and stood up from my seat.

"There's no way I'm going to get any work done now!" I sighed in defeat.

I brushed a hand through my silky brown hair. "I'll walk home maybe that'll clear my mind." I said while walking hastily towards my office door and left.

I walked out into the clear nights atmosphere, feeling a warm breeze flow freely over my face and through my hair.

I stood still for a few peaceful moments before heading towards the park nearby, deciding for a little detour on the way home.

Serenity's POV!

"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU SO LATE YOU SELFISH LITTLE BITCH?" my father bellowed.

I heard him staggering over to my position in the corner of the room, the smell of alcohol clearly filing the air around us.

"I-I'm sorry father… B-but I went t-to see j-Joey's…" I was cut off after my father punched me in the jaw causing me to stumble backwards and smack my head against the wall. I curled up in a tight ball clutching my head in pain.

"DON'T GIVE ME YOUR PATHETIC EXUSES GIRL!" He spat furiously at me.

I whimpered slightly when he grabbed my hair and pulled me to my feet, I could feel tears welling up in my eyes. Though I tried as much as possible not to make to much noise knowing it'll make this much worse.

He abruptly let go of my hair and punched me full force in the stomach knocking all the wind out of me. I doubled over in pain, gasping for the air that my lungs needed desperately but weren't getting any.

When I finally was able to suck in the air required.

My father pushed me to the floor and he repeatedly kicked me in the stomach, I was so vulnerable because the pain he was causing me was emotional as well as physical. Eventually I could do nothing but sob as he continuously punched and kicked me wherever he could.

When he eventually stopped I barely heard him say that he was heading over to the pub and that he wouldn't be back until later that night.

When I heard the front door slam, I felt a pang of relief wash over me. I painfully got to my feet staggering slightly. I stopped and leaned against a wall when a spell of dizziness overcame me.

When my vision finally went back to normal I slowly limped over to the front door and down the steps.

My whole body was aching, and my eye was throbbing painfully, I'd probably have a black eye by tomorrow. When the park came into view, memories of when Joey and me were younger came flooding back to me.

We always used to sit on the bench directly underneath the cherry tree, smiling happily, talking and laughing as if we had know problems in the world to worry about.

I smiled weakly, and felt a lone warm tear escape from my left eye and slowly role down my pale cheek.

Joey had been killed a little over two months ago. It was my father who had killed him; he beat him severely, and then stabbed him repeatedly until he was too weak to fight back. Then my father threw him in some ally to die.

The police automatically thought some gang had done it. My father and me are the only one's who know the truth – he threatened to do the same to me if I ever told anyone.

I stumbled slowly over to the bench, just as I was approaching it I felt the dizziness come back causing me to feel all weak and lightheaded.

I lost my balance and collapsed on the bench.

Just as I was losing my focus, I saw a dark figure in the distance striding towards me. Then I felt my head hit the bench as I blacked out.

Seto's POV!

As I walked through the tall gates entering the park, I saw a girl staggering her way over to the bench directly underneath the cherry trees.

At first I thought she was drunk… the way she was staggering and the blank look on her face. But as I approached her I noticed blood on her shirt.

As I gradually grew closer, she all of a sudden collapsed on the bench. I quickened my pace, for some reason curious to what had happened to this girl.

When I finally got to the bench I stopped promptly in front of her. I bent down to her level to examine her face, but stopped suddenly noticing that I knew her from somewhere…but where?

To be continued…
Well what do you think…….. huh huh?

Was it good?

Bad?
