The next day at school, Brooke was acting stranger than usual. She took Collin and Daniel to all of their classes and was quiet all day.
"Brooke what is wrong with you? Did something happen? Say something." Begged Payton, but Brooke did not answer all she did was walk away.
"What's wrong with Brooke?" asked Nathan.
"I don't know she won't talk to me but I'm going to the library and go on the Internet to see if I can find out? Do you want to come with me?" asked Payton.
"How about we go to my house and look there?" suggested Nathan.
"Okay." Replied Payton.
After school instead of going home with Payton, Brooke went home with Collin and Daniel. Seeing this Payton and Nathan both hurried to Nathan's house and went on his computer to search the web. Before searching the web, Payton wanted to see if Brooke was on her AOL im or not. To her disappointment, Brooke was not even online, so Payton got strait to work. When Payton was at the first thing she searched for was 'how would a person react if they have been raped'. About 44067 articles were there, so she just picked the first one, which was titled COMMON FEELINGS AFTER A RAPEWhen she got to the web site in the first paragraph she read 'Rape victims experience a broad range of physical and emotional conditions. The following are some of the feelings you may experience after being raped. A counselor can help you with deal with these feelings. With time and professional assistance, a victim can move beyond his or her rape experience.'
"Anything" asked Nathan.
"None that will explain Brooke's behavior today, but I will keep on reading." Replied Payton.
When she got to the title Self-blame and shame there she found what she has been looking for. It read 'Feelings of guilt and shame are also frequent reactions. Because of misconceptions about rape, victims may blame themselves, doubt their own judgment, or wonder if they were in some way responsible for the assault. Feelings of guilt and self-blame may be reinforced by the reactions of others, who, because of prevalent myths about rape, may blame the victim or criticize his or her behavior. You may also feel ashamed. Some victims describe feeling dirty, devalued, and humiliated as a result of a sexual assault. Feelings of shame are sometimes a reaction to being forced by the assailant to participate in the crime.'
" I found it." Yelled Payton.
When Nathan got to the computer to see what Payton found he was surprised.
"You think that Brooke was raped? By who?" asked Nathan.
"Well it was either Henry or Collin and Daniel." Explained Payton.
Just then, Payton reached for Nathan's phone.
"Who are you calling?" asked Nathan.
"I'm calling Brooke and asking her what is wrong." Explained Payton.
When Payton finished dialing Brooke's number no one answered.
"No answer? " asked Nathan.
"No But I will talk to her tomorrow." Stated Payton.
That night back at Brooke's everyone was a sleep. It was 2:00 a.m. when her door opened and she quickly awoke.
"W-who's there?" asked Brooke more scared then she was last night.
"I am very proud of you Brooke. You did just as I asked you to do so I decided to give you a reward." Said Henry.
"W-what type of r-reward?" asked Brooke now shaking.
"My type of reward." Replied Henry.
Just then, Henry pulled out of his bathrobe two pairs of handcuffs and put them on Brooke's hands and feet after he striped her. Then he put duck tape on her mouth. After he got Brooke in the position that he wanted her to be in, he took off his robe and there he was already naked. Then you can already guess what happened. Your right he raped her until 4:30 a.m. then left her room after taking his handcuffs with him.
