Ally stood by the window watching the night sky all day she had waited for Marc. It was driving her insane having to wait but she knew that it was all part of Marc's game, he loved to feed the fear. "Thinking of flying away again, little girl," that voice sent shiver of fear through Ally's body she didn't even have to turn to see who it was, Marc. She closed her eyes and prayed. Please god if you can hear me, protect me from this evil. With that last thought Ally turned and came face to face with her demon.

Marc could smell her fear and it excited him. He stalks over to her saying, "So you thought you could run from me." Ally took a step back trying to find her voice, she finally managed to say, "No they took me."

"Well then what took you so long to come back or should I say who kept you," Marc said his voice dripping with evil. "They wouldn't let me go but they had some one watching me 24 hours a day, I just couldn't get away," Ally said watching Marc to see if he was believing her lies.

Marc stepped even closer to Ally. He knew she was lying because if she were being held prisoner then she wouldn't have been at a club. "I swear Marc…they wouldn't…they wouldn't let me leave," Ally said stumbling across the words.

Marc backhanded Ally knocking her to the floor, "Liar!" he yelled. Ally's heart began to beat faster, "No Marc I swear it," she cried backing across the floor trying to get away from him.

With her every backward motion Marc stepped toward her until he was close enough to reach out and grab her hair. He grabbed it and yanked hard causing Ally to cry out.

"You think that you just lie to me," Marc said pulling her off the floor by her hair. "Little girl you just fucked up, I told you once before DON'T EVER LIE TO ME," he yelled nailing her again across the face with his hand this time knocking her back on the bed. Ally's face felt like it was going to explode from the impact. She could taste the blood from her lip and it made her gag.

Once again Marc grabbed her hair pulling her up from the bed. "How many of them disgusting DX members did you let between your legs," Marc spat at her once again hitting her knocking her to the floor. "None Marc, I swear," Ally said through pain filled breaths. Marc laughed and ran his hand down her body and between her legs. He proceeded to shove his fingers inside her, "Well feels to me that you're a lot looser now than before you bitch," Marc removed his hand and punched her again this time in the stomach causing her breath to leave her body. "Don't you know that you can't lie to me," Marc said this time shoving her to the floor.

Ally hit the floor and just laid there afraid to move. Her body screamed with every breath she took. She could feel Marc watching her.

"I need a drink, but I'm not stupid enough to leave you here," Marc said grabbing her by the hair and dragging her across the room. Ally began to kick and fight trying anything to get loose. Marc stopped and landed another blow to her face before continuing to drag her out the door and along the hall. Ally thrashed once more and screamed praying someone anyone would hear her. Marc stopped once more and this time let go of her hair and kicked out at her with his boot connecting with her ribs. Ally felt her ribs crack from the impact and laid still. Marc grabbed her hair and drug her the rest of the way into an open room. Once inside Marc left her lying in the middle of the floor while he fixed a drink. He watched Ally lying on the floor and all he could see was red.

Ally glanced around the room taking in that it was some kind of huge open living room. It had a couch and a couple of over stuffed chairs placed around it. She could also hear music blaring.

Marc set down on the couch looking at Ally for the longest time. "Get up," he ordered. Ally lay there still not wanting to move. Marc got up and approached her, grabbing her by the hair, "I said to stand up bitch," Marc said yanking her to her feet. "Seems like you've forgotten your place since you've been gone," Marc said before slapping her again only this time he kept a hold of her hair not letting her fall. Ally screamed out from the pain that ran rampant through her body. Marc released her and turned to go back to the couch. He left her standing there in the middle of the room and sat down to watch her.

"Take off your clothes," Marc said watching Ally as she swayed back and forth. Ally didn't move at first but knew that if she didn't move Marc would just beat her more. So slowly she began to remove her clothes, her body in agony from the pain that coursed through her veins. She stood naked in front of him not just in body but in soul too.

Marc raised off the couch and walked to a cabinet in the room. He opened it and took out a cat of nine tails whip. He turned back to Ally letting the leather of the whip flow over his hand like water as he approached her. Ally took a step back stumbling over her own feet. "Did I tell you to move," Marc said with pure evil malice dripping from his voice. Ally shook her head, but yet again tried to step back as Marc approached her. "DO NOT MOVE," Marc bellowed, his voice filling the huge room. Ally stopped and didn't move again fear running through her body as if it was its playground.

Marc took the last step that separated him and Ally he raised his hand and brushed the side of her face catching a tear on his finger. "I do this out of love," was all he said before he raised the wicked looking whip and brought it down slicing her skin open with it in one hit.

Ally crumbled to the floor wishing she could evaporate into it, to get away from the whip and Marc. Over and over Marc pelted her body with the whip. With every lash her skin gave way to new wounds. Marc didn't let it stop him he let the anger fill him. Ally prayed to pass out, she just wanted the pain to stop.

The rage eventually took over Marc, he dropped the whip and began kicking her over and over again. Something inside Ally snapped and she began screaming out from the pain and agony. It wasn't long before she started spitting out blood from the onslaught of kicks.

Marc breathing heavy from the anger looks down and realizes that she's no longer moving and she's barely breathing. Each breath she takes sounds wet as if her mouth and throat are filled with water.

"What have I done," Marc says to himself. "It's not suppose to be this way," he says realizing that he has seriously hurt her. He drops to his knees and pulls Ally into his arms gently resting her head against his chest. Her body spasms with coughing. "No Ally, I'm sorry, hold on," Marc said realizing that the wet sound was blood filling her mouth from inside. He knew instantly that he had caused severe damage. "Don't die," Marc said beginning to rock. "You can't leave me, you were meant for me, you were to be my bride," Marc said shaking her. Ally lay lifeless, barely breathing in his arms.

The music from the radio filled the room as Marc held Ally in his arms.

If ever words were spoken,

Painful and untrue,

I said I loved but I lied,

In my life,

All I wanted,

Was the keeping,

Of someone like you,

As it turns out,

Deeper within me,

Love was twisted and pointed at you,

Marc looked down into Ally's face, it was so pale and her eyes were so shallow. He tried pushing the hair back from her face that stuck with blood. "Ally," he whispered.

Never ending pain, quickly ending life-

You keep this love, thing, child, toy,

You keep this love, fist, scar, break,

You keep this love,

I'd been the tempting one,

Stole her from herself,

This gift in pain,

Her pain was life,

For the first time in Marc's life he felt like crying. He held her tightly, rocking as the music playing filtered through him. "I am a monster," Marc said holding Ally.

And sometimes I feel so sorry,

I regret this the hurting of you,

But you make me so unhappy,

I'd take my life and leave love with you,

I'd kill myself for you, I'd kill you for myself- No more head-trips

Marc sat that way holding Ally letting the music wash over him…
