(A/N: WARNING, THIS PART IS NOT FOR THE WEAK STOMACHED, well it's not that bad just something almost happens, I hope this doesn't change your view on it! Also forgetting to mention that this is the first time in a long time that I updated, well I wont tell you details but it has to do with a giant memory wipe, where I wouldn't have even been able to do this _ also not to mention not being able to FIND the book that held the book, well anyway that's beside the point ONTO THE STORY!)

Misty walked up to the door of her apartment and immediately noticed that the door was ajar, and since she knew that she had locked it before she left all those months ago, she was feeling quite nervous. Ash stepped in front of her and pulled out his knife, opening the door slightly and walking into the front room of her apartment, after a quick search to find it all clear, Ash came back and motioned for Misty to come inside.

"Alright Misty, hurry and pack all the stuff you want to take with you. We don't want to be caught here if what you say is true." Misty agreed and ran out of the main room and into her room. Ash was standing there for only a second until he heard Misty scream in terror. He ran into Misty's room and saw her on her knees, crying with what seemed like no intention to be stopping anytime soon. He didn't know what was wrong with her, but he soon found out when he looked at her mirror. Scribbled on her mirror in blood was a message specifically for her. 'You will be mine.' Ash walked over and knelt down next to Misty,

"C'mon Misty get a hold of yourself, we have to get going. We don't want to hang around and run into the person that wrote that. I'll get your suitcase and you pull out all your things." Ash said as he stood up and ran from the room, coming back with the biggest suitcase he could find in the closet and threw it on her bed. Misty just sat there and continued to cry.

"Misty, listen to me!" He held her shoulders, she looked into his eyes, she was frantic, but he was calm and collected. "You HAVE to stop this crying right now. I know you're upset, and I promise you can cry on my shoulder as long as you want to when we get home. But now is not the time for this, you have to pull yourself together and pack your stuff so we can GET OUTTA HERE!!!" After hearing those words from him, she managed to stop crying and start packing her stuff as fast as she could. A lot of her clothes, a few pictures, personal belongings and stuffed animals that Ash had given to her. While she was packing her stuff, Ash looked out the window, now seeing a black van parked right behind his car. He knew that something was up, and decided to make sure nothing posed a threat to Misty.

"Misty, I have to go outside for a moment okay; you stay in here and keep packing."

"No!! You can't leave me by myself!!!" Ash looked at her, and then pulled her over to the window, he pointed to the van behind his car, they didn't see the two of them in the window.

"My guess is that they came for you. It's just a hunch, but I don't want to find out if I'm right or not. Especially with you so close by I don't want to take that chance. I'm just going to be gone for only a minute maybe more. Once you finish packing, I want you to hide in the closet, just in case someone decides to sneak around the back. Okay?" Misty wiped the tears that accumulated in her eyes and nodded her head. Ash stood up and walked out of her apartment, closing and locking the door behind him. Misty hurried and finished her packing, but instead of hiding in the closet like Ash had told her, she paced the room. After a few seconds, she walked to the window and looked out. She saw Ash standing with his head leaning into the van, talking to the people inside of it. Suddenly there was a bang on her door, followed by a very evil voice.

"Open up little girl! It's time to take you back to where you belong!!" Frightened beyond reason, Misty ran to her closet and closed the door, hiding in the corner and hugging her knees to her chest. She prayed that maybe if she didn't get the door that the man would go away, but it wasn't likely. After what seemed like seconds later, the door came crashing down and there was one pair of footsteps coming into the apartment. "Where are you girl? It's time to return to your master! You were his best whore!!!" Misty stayed inside and was silent, she almost held her breath she was so scared. Hopefully he wasn't the smartest person in the world and thought she was gone. "Come out come out wherever you are whore.you're masters waiting for you to come back to him. I have to admit I wouldn't mind havin' a go with you as well!!!" The man said, he noticed her suitcase and added with a smile, "If you don't come out like a good girl, you're boyfriend will die!!!" He heard a tiny gasp from the closet; he ran over and opened it up, laughing triumphantly as he saw the stricken woman hiding in the closet. "Got ya!!!"

"No!!!" Misty screamed and backed against the corner of the closet, the man's smile widened, he pulled her out of the closet by her arms. Misty kicked and squirmed as hard as she could, and she screamed as loud as her lungs would allow. But her screams fell on deaf ears. The man held her with one hand while shoving the suitcase off of the bed. Then he threw her on the bed, before she had a chance to get away, he grabbed her shoulders and kept her in place, getting on top of her.

"You know something, I've always been jealous of the boss since he snagged you, and he's even given me the permission to do what I want until I get you back, and with that said, I'll violate you in EVERY way!!!!" He laughed evilly, he was crazy Misty already knew, and she knew that if she didn't do anything, he was going to violate her in the sickest fashion imaginable, rape. He put his knee on one of her legs and pinned her underneath him, her dress was hiked up and exposed a part of her thigh, but he wanted to do a lot more than just that. He leaned his face close to her and breathed out, she felt his hot breath on her face and felt the urge to vomit, she let out another scream, maybe it would be too much for his ears to handle. But he didn't' seem fazed at all; in fact a smile crossed his face. Misty was soon repulsed when she felt his tongue run up her neck and to her cheek. She squirmed again and screamed louder than she ever though possible. But she was silenced when he backhanded her across the face and put pressure on her leg with his knee. He continued his torture by ripping the straps of her dress clean off, and Misty quickly went to hold her dress up, but now her hands were now out of the fight. She had always just heard stories of women being raped, never thought she would actually be a victim, maybe just a moment more and Ash would be in to rescue her, but that moment seemed so far away when that evil man stuck his hands under her dress and removed her underwear enough to perform his disgusting ritual. He unzipped his pants and leaned in. "It's time pretty lady! Are you ready?" He said, not really a question, Misty couldn't take it, she yelled out Ash's name one more time, pushing the man back with one free arm, he inched closer to her every second. * * * * Ash waved goodbye to Jenny as she carted off the people who were after his life, Jenny was going to make sure that Ash was there to question the men, just to make sure they got everything they needed out of them. Fearing that he had left Misty alone for too long, Ash hurried up the stairs toward her apartment, when he stopped cold when he heard his name being screamed. No doubt it was Misty, and his heard almost stopped cold when he figured out that it wasn't a good thing that she screamed,

"Misty!!!!" He yelled as he was finally able to move, he ran over the knocked down door and to the bedroom.... Where he stopped cold in his tracks. Misty was lying on the bed, she held her dress up with one hand, and was pushing back a man with the other. The man had now stopped, looking at Ash with the most confused face in the world; his buddies had told him that they would take care of Ash. Ash looked and then his anger rose when he looked over the scene one more time, Misty's underwear was at her thighs, and the man's pants were unzipped. Ash instinctively felt his hand reach for his knife; he charged toward the man and tackled him off of Misty and onto the ground. "What were you doing?!!! HUH?! ANSWER ME NOW BEFORE I KILL YOU!!" The man was now frantic, he didn't respond, "You didn't do anything to her did you?! You better not have touched her!!!!!"

"I-I didn't I swear it! Please don't hurt me I was just following orders!"

"We'll see how good your boss treated you to deserve THIS!!!" Ash raised the knife and the man screamed in horror, as his life was about to have an abrupt end. Ash was about to drive the final blow, but at that point he started having second thoughts, 'C'mon Ash this isn't the time for second thoughts! He RAPED Misty!' His mind told him, he deserved death, but why was he hesitating? He knew that answer before he asked himself, it was because Misty was there, and could he really kill a man with good intentions and scar the one he loved? No, no way. There was no way he could kill that man in front of Misty. Instead, he let the knife drop and beat the living daylights out of him; he wouldn't be able to move for quite some time. The man, now unconscious was lying on the floor in his own pool of blood. Ash stood up, and he looked at Misty for the first time, she was sitting on the bed, she had pulled her underwear back up after she had been freed, she held up her dress with both hands now, and there was a red mark forming across the right side of her face. She had tears running down her face. He started walking to her, she got up and stood there, she seemed so broken, Ash couldn't bear that if he had only taken less time..she wouldn't have been violated. Ash took another step toward her, and then dropped down on his knees, "Misty I'm so sorry!!! This is all my fault! If only I had been here sooner this wouldn't have-"Misty dropped to her knees and hugged him with one arm, keeping the other around her dress,

"Shhhhhh.it's not what you think.. he may have sexually harassed me to an extreme, but he didn't rape me, you.. you stopped him from doing that." She said, tears rolling down her cheek, Ash couldn't believe the good news, but he was still upset that she had been touched at all by that scum. He wrapped his arms tight around her, consoling not only her but himself as well. He had almost screwed up big time, but he was just lucky that Misty had been strong enough to push him away. After what seems like an eternity, Ash let Misty go and looked into her eyes, she seemed all right, but for some reason that wasn't good enough for him.

"Alright, you get yourself changed okay? I'm going to call Jenny and have her come over to take him away." Misty got up and nodded her head; she grabbed a pair of pants out of the suitcase along with a shirt and went into the bathroom. Ash walked over to the phone, but before he even had a chance to pick it up, into her apartment came Brock, Pikachu and Jenny. "What's going on?" Ash asked as they came into her room.

"Is Misty alright? Where is she?" Brock said frantically as he searched the room for the young woman. The three of them looked to one part of the room and gasped when they saw a man lying on the floor in a pool of his own blood. Pikachu ran to Ash and noticed he had scratches on his hands; Ash looked down at Pikachu and simply replied,

"I stopped him, that's all that matters." Misty walked out of the room, now changed into what she took into the bathroom with her, fresh tears ran down her face, but other than that she was fine. Brock quickly ran over to her,

"Misty are you alright?" She nodded her head,

"I'm fine; that man over there tried to rape me, but luckily Ash was here to save me." She said as she smiled toward Ash, Jenny walked over to the man and put handcuffs on him, Ash picked him up and threw him over his shoulder,

"Well I guess it's time to take out the trash." He said as Jenny led the way out to her squad car to put another menace behind bars, leaving Brock, Misty and Pikachu inside her apartment.

"So.Did you find anything else out, do you know who the person is now?" Brock asked as he picked up her suitcase and set it back on the bed, Misty sighed and sat down on the bed, shaking her head,

"I still don't have any clue, but that man was working with him. Whoever he was he really wants to get me back." Pikachu jumped up on the bed and sat on Misty's lap, she rubbed his head and sighed again, "If this continues, I'm going to put Ash at risk; I may just have to go back to him." Suddenly they heard another voice,

"Don't you DARE go back there because of me!" Misty looked to the door of her room and saw Ash, he walked over to her and replied, "You shouldn't care if I'm at risk or not what I really care about it if you're safe, and the only way for you to be safe is with me, understand?" Misty felt tears in her eyes,

"But." Ash knelt down next to her,

"Don't argue with me, you know you don't want to go back there, and Brock and I will help you."

"That's right." Brock interjected, Misty looked at the two men, then finally she couldn't hold in her tears anymore, she burst into tears and covered her face with her hands. Ash hugged her,

"It's alright, you don't have to hold back anymore, just remember we'll be here for you no matter what." Ash said to her soothingly as she wrapped her arms around her. After a brief minute or two, she composed herself,

"Thanks, I don't know what I could do without the two of you."

"It's not trouble for us, just as long as you're safe." Brock said as he picked up her suitcase, Ash rose to his feet, Pikachu jumped off of Misty's lap as Ash pulled her to her feet.

"Now c'mon, it's time for us to go home." Misty smiled at him, home.it never sounded so soothing to her, but finally she was away from the torture and be with people who cared for her.
