I was given the option to accompany Luda Mae to what looked down a rundown store. She seemed to work there, and just stood behind the front counter and she just stared at an old magazine. I just sat in the back as well and just looked around at the old gross place. It was quiet and boring, but it beat being back at the house. Ever since Thomas threw himself at me, I felt incredibly awkward being back at that house.

"Gonna be some rain coming in soon." Luda Mae said and I looked up at her. How can she even know that? There was no cloud in the sky. But I said nothing and just nodded. I heard an engine revving and then minutes later, the door suddenly swung open and two large men came in. They were dressed in black collared leather jackets and blue jeans. They looked like they were bikers. I kept my eyes down as they came in and wandered the store. I glanced up at them and then at Luda Mae who just glanced from me to them with uncertainty.

"Hey." One of them said gruffly and we both looked at him. He was a tall bald guy with a trimmed beard. "You got a bathroom?" Luda Mae just looked at me before telling me with her eyes to stay put.

"Yeah around back." she said and the man looked down at me.

"How about you show me." he offered and I just stiffened a bit and looked at Luda Mae who just nodded and I just nodded and moved from around the counter and noticed the other man in leather just smirked as I moved out to the front door hearing the man follow. I saw a bunch of other bikers who looked at me as I exited. They all whistled and looked me over as I led the man to the back. Once we were back there, I just pointed to it.

"Here you go." I said turning only to have him pin me to the back of the store. I gasped seeing both his hands on either side of my head and I just froze, shoulders tensing up and eyes showing discomfort as he peered down at me.

"You know you're a really pretty girl. You got a boyfriend?" he asked and I just swallowed some and shook my head.

"Nope, just working on a relationship with God." I whispered and he laughed now and just gently tugged at the strings of my green and white blouse.

"Oh a church girl, huh. How about you and I become sinners together?" he asked, his hand already moving down between my legs and my eyes just widened as I was completely frozen. My entire body shook with fear, until suddenly the cocking of a shot gun made us both look up and the biker turned his head and I saw Luda Mae standing there with a dark glare, her gun pointed right at the biker's head.

"You best grab your friends and get!" she commanded and I swallowed some feeling my body tremble and I just watched him scoff.

"Lady, I don't want to have to hurt you or this pretty little thing." he warned and Luda Mae pointed the gun up to the air and fired causing us both to jump before she pointed the gun back down at the biker.

"Well good thing, because I want to hurt you. NOW GET!" she commanded and the biker just scoffed and smirked with amusement before looking at me.

"We will finish this later pretty girl." he said and leaned back and began to move back around the store, his friend coming to check on him and he just smirked and motioned for him to leave. Slowly the two did, and I moved behind Luda Mae as she just pointed her gun at the two men and we just watched the bikers ride off. I sighed heavily and Luda Mae just rubbed my shoulder.

"We would have had to invite those men over for dinner if they continued to try me." she said and I just smiled at her.

"Would have lasted us for quite some time." I said and we both shared a laugh. Later on in the day, we returned home and Luda Mae ranted to Charlie about the bikers and he just scoffed in disgust.

"Fuckin' leather headed hippies. If they so much come close to this house they won't be leavin' that much is for sure." he said. I helped Luda Mae tidy up the house before she and Charlie had to leave to go visit a family doctor about Uncle Monty's leg. Thomas just remained in the basement. He wouldn't come to out and I figured he was still mad at me. I checked my watch and saw it was three pm. I was stunned Charlie and Luda Mae trusted me to not try and run away. But where could I go, the only working car, Charlie and Luda had and my car was completely stripped down. I guess that was one way to keep here. I didn't know what I was going to do really all by myself, however a faint engine revving caught my attention and I lifted my head from the kitchen at the sound. I tilted my head in curiosity as I wondered if someone was here.

I got up from the kitchen table and moved down the hall and over to the front door and simply opened the door which was my biggest mistake. A large face was right in front of me.

"Hello again, pretty girl." he said and my eyes widened and I screamed as the two men had suddenly barged into the house. The man from before grabbed me and lifted me off the ground. "Now let's really have some fun." I screamed more as I was once again lifted off the ground.

"This is private property; you shouldn't be here!" I yelled trying to fight the man's hold while the other man came in with a metal baseball bat and I watched as he slammed it into one of Luda Mae's vases smashing it to pieces.

"Oh please private property my ass." The biker who had me said. "Now why don't we go somewhere more private."

I continued to struggle and hit at the man's chest as he carried me off down the living room.

"NO! LET ME GO. THOMAS! THOOOMASS!" I screamed as I pounded on the man's jacket as he carried me off into the back room while the other biker continued to smash my second family's belongings.

Normal Pov

Thomas knew Tati was mad at him, so for most of the day, he hid from her unable to handle staring at her judgmental eyes. She hated him, he just knew it. He grumbled to himself and just hit his head against the nearest wall punishing himself for be the 'retard' everyone said he was. He shook his head sure that Tati, would no longer want to be friends with him. He was sad and depressed. He knew the two were alone in the house right now, but even now he couldn't apologize for being rough with her.

He just sat down and rubbed his face through the clothed mask he usually wore. He needed something new, something beautiful that would make Tati like him again. He hoped his Uncle brother, Charlie found someone who had a pretty face that Tati would like. Then he'd cut their face off and wear it for her. He thought about removing the cloth masked before he suddenly heard a scream and his head snapped up to the ceiling as he heard some type of commotion and glass breaking noise from upstairs. Something was wrong.

"NO! LET ME GO. THOMAS! THOOOMASS!"

it was his Tati, she was in trouble. Already, his blood boiled and anger filled him and he sprang into action. He got up swiftly and grabbed a large hook for a split second before looking at it and then changing his mind. He grabbed his favorite meat cutter, his chainsaw, and moved up the stairs with large steps.

Tatianna's Pov

The biker slammed me on the nearest couch in the back room and with his weight, he held me down while his hands tore my blouse as if it were tissue paper.

"No!" I screamed and hit against his hands as he began to suck and lick on my lower chest. I cried out violently and continued to fight against him. "STOP!" I received a hard smack to the face, the man's rings cutting against my cheek and I yelped hard at the pain.

"I bet you're going to feel nice and tight." he said moving to take off his pants with one hand and my vision was blurry from his hand hitting my face and I groaned feeling him now pull down my pants and part my legs.

"Thomas." I cried out weakly feeling as if I was going to be killed right here and there. Suddenly, I heard a door being kicked open and a large chainsaw revving up loudly. Both me and my assailant looked up, but before he could really get up and gather himself, Thomas was in the room and in one quick motion he suddenly slammed the end of his chainsaw down and now both me and the man was screaming bloody murder as I felt hot blood spraying all over my face. I thought Thomas was cutting us both in half. My adrenaline was pumping fast from the suddenly attack. Now my vision was blurry from blood spraying on my face and I watched the biker's eyes rolling to the back of his head as his body jerked up and down from being sawed in half. I couldn't take my eyes off his face. I screamed louder and harder as I suddenly see Thomas jerking back as the other biker came in and hit him in the back.

Thomas hardly stumbled back and he just removed the chainsaw from the biker's back and in one quick swipe, Thomas jerked the chainsaw behind him and with a clean cut the biker's head flew right off and rolled right near the couch, his body just falling over limp. I screamed even louder as the biker's entire weight was atop of me. I was hysterical as I watched Thomas just stand there and put the chainsaw down before coming over to me and just pulling the large man off me and just looking me over. I was trembling violently and I watched as Thomas began to rub his hand over my body and for a second I thought he was rubbing the blood further on me, so I hit his hands away, but he didn't stop. I realized the concern in his eyes and I knew he was looking me over to make sure his chainsaw didn't hit me. My face was covered in tears, snot, and blood and I felt like this wasn't happening. I cried hard and loud and Thomas leaned up in shock, his hands curling together over his chest, but he looked around as if wondering what to do.

He then just tucked his hands over me bridal style and as he did, my whaling slowly quieted to soft crying and sobbing and he just picked me up and I could hear soft shushing sounds coming from him. He was trying to soothe and quiet me. He just turned and began to move through the house with me tucked in his hold. I didn't fight him even though I was tense and still freaking out in my mind. He moved upstairs with me continuing to shush me and oddly enough in some crazy way, his voice soothed me. Maybe it was because he saved me. I looked at his face as he too was covered in blood and I just looked up at him.

"Don't leave me." I whimpered softly and gently thinking he couldn't hear me. I was trying to keep the plea in my mind. Thomas looked down at me as I just stared up at his bloody face. i never thought i would ever say that to him, but in his massive arms i felt safe and protected and I did not want them to ever let me go, especially now while i was in this state of hysteria."Please." He just kept walking and slowly he just placed his forehead into mine as if promising me.

"Together… forever." he muttered his promise. I leaned my head back into his and he carried me to a different room. I expected it to be my room, but it was a little smaller than mine. It had a bed and a dresser as well as a bathroom. I noticed numerous trinkets from our past here and I knew this was his room. He moved inside and kicked the door closed behind himself and carefully he placed my fragile shaking body on the bed and I just melted into the large bed. It smelled fresh and clean. Luda Mae.

I then felt the springy mattress dip down as I felt Thomas against my back and I remained still as his large arm wrapped around my stomach and slowly he pulled me into him. We remained silent as his hands just rubbed my stomach through my ripped blouse soothing me and I felt his head nuzzle the back of my hair. We remained this way for lord knows how long before we heard the front door opening down stairs.

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE!" Charlie yelled.
