A/N: Well I'm back to update this one! I'm experimenting and I thought this would be a perfect opportunity. Also the song will still continue but near the later parts, though; and this will be the second to last chapter, I think. And I think this is a very good fic too, so please enjoy. : P

Chapter Two: Petals: Escape the Pain

Disclaimer: Read Chapter One

----------------------

Thirteen years later, our little orphan petal, Julia, finally found some one to love and care for her. Julia was now a very healthy, yet beautiful woman. She and Michelle would run daily, train in Martial Arts, and watch the water buffalo graze and eat. But one day was different than usual. Instead of the usual running, Michelle thought it was time to discuss something with Julia. So they sat down on a grassy plain and watched the animals.

"Julia, you're sixteen years old now." She stopped. Julia looked at her with curiosity. "And I have to tell you something; it's very important."

"What is it mom?"

Michelle sighed, thinking of a way to tell her this, "You know I love and care for you right?" She turned to Julia and she nodded. "And you know I'll do anything for you."

"Yes, I do. But what's wrong?" She noticed her mother was now crying.

"The forest is dying. Animals are leaving. Other people around here are leaving."

Julia was still looking at Michelle. She still didn't know what she was trying to get to. "Mom, tell me! What's wrong?"

Michelle, now red-eyed, looked at her daughter. "Since everything is withering away, I don't think I can keep you any longer."

Julia gasped, "What do you mean 'can't keep me any longer'? Mom! We can work something out!"

Michelle looked at Julia. She always loved that fighting and never-give-up spirit. But this time, it couldn't cheer her up. So she decided to tell her the other foolish plans she had in mind. Even though it was foolish it might be the only way to save them both.

"Well there is one way, but it's very slim." Julia then looked at her mother with anticipation. "I never told you this, but before I met you, I entered something called the Tekken Tournament. It was extremely hard. And I lost. But this time I think I at least have a chance."

"So that's why we were fighting. So you could train?" Michelle nodded.

"But as I said before, I might not win. So in the mean time, I'll have to train alone so I won't be disturbed."

"Where will I go?"

"You'll stay with my brother, Chad, and his family. They'll take real good care of you."

Julia scooted over and hugged her mother. "I love you, mom."

---------------------------

Julia was now living with her Uncle's home, as she calls her 'temporary family' in Korea. They were all originally born and lived in America, but they decided to move far away (for unknown reasons). They lived in an upper class home near the countryside. But they didn't act like the normal stuck up family. They were very down to earth people. Also, the family taught her about computers and other technologies. She was so fascinated by it. When she told her Aunt what she wanted to be, she laughed with joy. But in the end, she loved her Aunt Mary, cousins Vanessa and Tony, and her least liked Uncle Chad.

Uncle Chad was a nice man like Michelle said, but he was kind of weird. Well of course he had his looks with his shaggy, rusty brown short hair. And he was the tall yet a little muscular type with a clean face. But his eyes, they were a bluish-green color that made him look appealing.

The main reason why Julia thinks he's weird is simple because he's always looking at her. He watches her eat, play around, and if she was mistaken, she even caught him looking at her while she was undressing. But she put those thoughts aside as her two cousins, Vanessa and Tony, hit her with water balloons.

A boy and girl befriended me
We're bonded through despondency

"Ha ha! We got you again Julia!" They said in unison. While Julia was soaked in her new white shirt that now showed off her black brassier, Chad came out in the nick of time.

"Julia," He called in his deep, manly voice, "come inside and change. You don't want to get sick now."

Julia groaned, "Yes, sir." She ran past him and said a little hello to her Aunt and ran to her little room. But little did she know that he was following her. And he was ready.

----------------

"Maybe I'll wear this one, no! I'll wear this one!" She said as she was rummaging through her new clothes. But her searching stopped when a knock on the door was heard.

"May I come in? It's me." Chad said in his deep yet muscular tone.

"Sure!" She was now in a big blue over shirt. She opened the door and there he was smiling.

"Oh, you've changed already?" He said in a disappointed tone.

"Yep, so if you don't mind, I'm going to go outside." Before she could leave, a big arm blocked her way. "Can you please get out of my way?"

"I don't think I can do that." He closed the door behind him. "You see Julia, you're sixteen years old, but you act like a child. And you dress like a sixteen year old girl, but you tease like a child."

Julia backed away, "What are you talking about?"

He ignored her little question, "You know when people in this house wear short clothes? I make them mine. And since you're a little virgin, it'll be much more fun."

Soon Julia realized there was no more room to move. She started crying then Chad bent down in front of her. He put the strand of hair behind her ear. Then he grabbed her head and crushed her lips to his.

Julia was now scared. She could him trying to rip off her shirt. She panicked. Then she remembered what Michelle told her about defending herself. So she used enough energy to get him off her. She then used her womanly defense and punctured his manhood. And without hesitation, she ran out of the room. But before she left entirely she heard his cold roars,

"You little bitch! You won't get away with this! Aagh!"

----------------------------

Later that night, Julia asked Vanessa to sleep with her. And Vanessa kindly accepted.

Julia couldn't sleep. She was still thinking about the events that happened earlier and the words that Chad said. Then, without her knowing, tears fell from her eyes. Soon after, she started crying.

"He tried to do it to you as well?"

Julia looked to her right side. Vanessa witnessed the whole crying scene.

"What? What do you mean?"

"He tried to force himself on you, didn't he?"

Julia was silent.

"It's alright. He has done it everyone in the house, including Tony." Julia gasped.

"Yep, he's always a "sexual appetite" well that's what mom says. It all started when mom kept denying him. She kept saying "not now", "I'm not in the mood" and "I don't feel like it." Then one day, he asked her and she said no he hit her and pushed her to the bed. That night all I heard punches, slaps, and screaming. The next day mom came to breakfast with bruises and she didn't say a word. Soon she just left us for five months. While she was gone, he struck again. And this time it was Tony. Personally I think it's disgusting. A few weeks later, Tony was taking a shower and father came in. At first he was thinking he would leave real soon, but he didn't. Instead father opened the curtain, turned him around and did that bad thing to him…" She paused.

"Did he do that to you? Why didn't you tell anybody?"

Vanessa lowered her head, "Mom and Tony told me not to tell because he could kill us all. And I was about to tell at the hospital but he was looking at me so I was quiet. And yes he did do it to me afterwards."

She pulled up her shirt to her left lower breast and her lower hip. There were purple and black bruises on those areas. "And this is what happened to me. And it was very painful when I was 12."

"That's horrible."

"Yes, it is. He'll do this to you too."

"Oh, no. What will I do?"

"Escape. Run away."

"Where to, I have nowhere else to go." Julia wiped her tears.

"You can go to my friend's place." Vanessa bent over to the night stand and got a piece of paper. "She lives in the city. This has her address and give this to her."

"What about you guys?"

Vanessa chuckled, "Don't worry about us. We planned this for you, Jules."

"We?"

"Tony and I, and since he's not gonna see you leave, he said he 'loves you and good luck'."

As soon as she said that Julia gave her a big hug. She got up and packed very little items and opened up her window. Before she left Vanessa gave her a hug and as quick as lightning, Julia left.

As soon as she got to the ground, Julia ran without looking back.

I stayed so long but finally
I fled to save my sanity

And I miss you little sis and
Little brother
And I hope you realize
I'll always love you
And although you're struggling
You will recover

And I miss you little sis and
Little brother…

A/N: Wow…I'm so mean! But I think that the lyrics go very well with this part. (ex. Little sis and little brother A.k.a Vanessa and Tony. She fled to save her sanity. A.k.a fled to save her virginity. Etc, etc.) I tried to make this PG-13 as much as possible. But if you want the uncut version you gotta ask me. : P Since this part is about Julia's Teen hood, the next will be about her becoming an adult. And she'll meet someone who she falls in love with wink wink. Well since that's all the time I have….

Bye- Bye: D
