(To ms. Controversy, I'm considering your proposal :D it's very tempting)

"Hey Scarlet, how's my favorite gal doing?" Grinned Kai, jokingly as he gave her small shoulders a squeeze.

"Keep it up Kai and I might just have to hurt you," warned Tala, giving his best friend a playful hit.

"Tala, Tala, Tala, such a beautiful treasure should be shared," the blue haired boy laughed, "so, are we all good for tonight?"

"You bet!" Chirped Scarlet, "I haven't had a day off in a long time!"

"Sweet, just bring yourselves over to my place at eight. I hope you don't mind I invited a friend," at this Kai blushed slightly.

"Ooooh! Kai has a girlfriend," teased the brunette who was still wrapped in Kai's arms.

Time passing

"Mona, this is Tala and Scarlet." Kai introduced the honey-blonde size six model to his best friends.

"Nice to meet you," Tala extended a hand, "so how long has Kai been hiding you for?"

Mona laughed, "nice to meet the both of you too, we've been going out for a couple of weeks now so you haven't been kept in the blue too long. Kai talks about you guys all the time, I'm starting to get jealous."

They went to settle on the couch and was watching a movie the girls picked out; Take the lead (This is a great movie btw, if you haven't seen it then you should!).

Later on when Tala and Scarlet had left, Kai is taking Mona home, they're in the car.

"You like her," accused Mona, her tone icy.

"Who?" asked Kai, he knew she was talking about Scarlet but wasn't going to admit anything.

"Don't play Kai, you know exactly who I'm talking about," her voice softened, beautiful blue eyes drooped slightly, "and to think I started liking you."

"Mona, don't be stupid. She's my best friend's girl." Kai defended. "I couldn't possibly jeopardize our friendship like that."

"But you love her," she whispered.

Kai didn't reply, he didn't have to; they both knew it was true. Mona stepped out of the car, before she closed the door she added "I hope you do the right thing." The Russian was puzzled by this comment, he felt terrible, not because he had just broken up with a great person but because he experienced no remorse over it. He loved Scarlet, that was true, they had met first but he let Tala take her. How many times he has kicked himself over that decision, only to be reminded by the little voice in his head that their friendship is more important. Isn't it?

Lalala, I do too many time breaks .

"Hey babe, my car just broke down, the piece of shit. I'm not going to be able to pick you up tonight I'm afraid." A frustrated Tala kicked his mags (wheels – not the tire part).

"Don't worry about me, I'll just catch a ride home with Johnny or someone." Scarlet reassured him, "it's fine, okay?"

Tala winced at that suggestion, "Please take a taxi."

"Geez Tala, he's not a bad guy. You don't have to be so possessive!" argued the brunette, her temper rising fast, "I can't believe you still don't trust me after all this time we've been together."

"No it's not that, I do trust you but if anything happened then it's not like you could defend yourself against a man the size of Johnny." Protested Tala, "just… take care of yourself."

Scarlet sighed, "Alright." and hung up the phone.

"Boyfriend trouble?" Joked her fellow bartender, he was always joking, laughing, nice to everyone. Scarlet smiled, "yeah, Tala's just over-protective. Sometimes it feels like he's my father instead of my boyfriend."

"Well, he wants the best for you and that's something you should treasure. I would probably do the same in his shoes, what with big scary men like me prowling around for pretty girls." Laughed Johnny, his green orbs glinted of passion that didn't seem to fit his light-hearted personality.

"Har har, you aren't a big scary man. I could take you on any day!" she said cheekily, "hey, would it be okay if I hitched a ride with you tonight? Tala's car broke down."

"My pleasure doll face," he winked, "let me just finish wiping down the bar and we can go soon."

The two were wrapped in thick jackets as they stepped out of the heated bar, snow crunched beneath their feet as they left a trail heading to Johnny's Diamante (it's a Mitsubishi model). A couple of blocks along they stopped suddenly when a man stumbled onto the road, he had a large wooden club and whammed it into the car headlights.

"What the fuck?!" Cursed Johnny as he jumped out of the car, "What the hell do you think you're doing. Do you know how much this car costs? You right little fu"

He never got to finish before another man crept behind him and knocked him out with one blow to the head, blood dribbled down his temple as the blonde lay unconscious in the middle of the road. Scarlet sat in the car traumatized, she was trembling violently as the first man came towards her car door.

"She's all yours now, have fun Ben," the second man called before running back into the darkness.

The man named Ben opened the passenger side door, "hello, don't worry dear, I'm not going to kill you. Just a little bit of fun, unless of course you try anything stupid."

"W-what do y-y-you want from m-me?" Stammered Scarlet, tears of fear seeping down her rosy cheeks.

He never bothered to answer, instead she was roughly pulled out of the car into a house. The walls were a soft peach, it was too inviting a place for what was about to happen in it. The petite girl was thrown onto a large, four poster bed and her hands tied behind her.

"I think you know very well what's going to happen now," murmured Ben, his hands gripped her shoulders, digging into them as he forced a kiss on her, his stubble scratching her chin.

"No! No, no, no," she sobbed shaking her head vigorously, she kicked him in the leg but all he did was laugh.

"You think that would hurt me?" chuckled the large man, tearing away at her clothes with one hand while the other covered her mouth. "You know, it's your own fault I'm doing this. You're just too pretty."

Ignoring the muffled screams and sobs coming from Scarlet, he had his way with her and then threw a blanket over her now naked body before leaving.

"I didn't expect someone like you to still be a virgin, but that made it all the more pleasurable," he grinned and walked out the door.

She couldn't move, lying on the bed, pain seared through every part of her body. She had no idea where she was, if anyone would find her… Where was Tala?
