Riley opened her eyes slowly. She was in a small room, as she sat up she noticed that her hands had been tied behind her back. From the feel of it they were handcuffs. Riley sighed, this not only left her defenseless to defend herself physically but with her powers as well. "Merde." She muttered.

The door to the room opened. "Well looky here fella's looks like my little Cajun beauty has finally woken up." Pietro said as he entered with Lance and three other men she'd never seen before. Two weren't much younger than Lance and Pietro. Riley wasn't sure how old the other guy was though he was tall and well built like Logan. He walked over to Riley, an evil smile on his face as he forced her to look at him by grabbing her face. "So your Gambits little sister huh." He growled. He looked over his shoulder at Pietro in disgust. "This mere girl threw you? She probably couldn't even lift a chair much less you." He growled angrily.

Riley glared at him. "Why don't ya get these handcuffs off and then I'll show you who's weak." She said angrily.

Sabertooth backhanded her. "Quiet." He ordered. He then had an idea. "Why don't you scream for me?" He said.

Riley rolled her eyes but remained silent this time.

Sabertooth asked her again, and became angry when she refused. He yanked her up off of the floor and threw her into the wall, pinning her against it. He liked the fear he saw in her eyes. "Scream." He growled into her ear.

Riley struggled but her efforts were in vain.

Lance didn't like how this was going. "Knock it off Creed." He warned.

Sabertooth growled. "I told you to never to use that name." he yelled. "And she's here to be taught a lesson. Not have tea." He then turned back to Riley. "Scream." He growled again.

Riley whimpered, but that was all she did. She couldn't show weakness. It was forbidden.

Lance had been about to make Sabertooth stop. Riley wasn't here for Sabertooth to abuse with his twisted joys of scaring people and hearing their screams. But Pietro stopped him.

"Let him have his fun." Pietro said quietly to Lance.

"Pietro she's here to be taught a lesson not have Sabertooth terrify her with his twisted fantasies of frightening people." He argued.

"I'll do what I want with her. Besides she won't be here long. Tomorrow she's being shipped back to Louisiana. My father contacted hers to let him know we'd found her and now we're getting big bucks, plus I get the satisfaction of knowing that she's going to be married at the end of the week. She'll hate that but I think it'll be good for her. She'll learn her place early on." He said quietly, while grinning.

Lance looked at Pietro. "She's only seventeen. This ain't cool man." Lance said then leaving the room. He couldn't let this happen. She wasn't old enough to get married. He wasn't ready and it was legal for him to do it. He'd never tell his friends but he wanted to go to college. He used to be all for causing trouble but now, he was sick of it.

Lance sighed. He wanted out. Lance left the building of the closed store. He didn't know why they'd chosen a store as their base, but at least it was close to where he needed to go.

He got into his old white truck and sped off. He didn't want to go where he was headed but he had to. For once in Lance Alvers life he was going to do the right thing.
