His Twisted Love (See chapter 1 for disclaimer, and on with the story...) Malachi sat at his chair, he was in his area, the older children got their own privacy, he sat his slender frame in his rocking chair. The dark-haired beauty was laying in his bed, his eyes never left her figure. She was breathing soft and evenly, he had covered her with a small blanket, Malachi already bandaged her head, thankfully, there was only a small cut there. But only a couple of drops of blood. He leaned forward and brushed some of her black hair from her face, both her hair and her skin were naturally soft, and addicting, he clasped a lock of her hair, he brought it to his face, he inhaled deeply.

She smelled like daisies after a summer rain, he wanted her with everything in his blood and body, Malachi was rubbing his face against the silken cape that was her dark hair. He felt his body shake, as he crushed the scenes of her in his fist. she had been sleeping for a while now, and she will be waking up soon. He could tell by her breathing. Slowly and reluctantly, he removed himself to a respectable distance, placing his ankle over his knee, no sooner than he did that movement, her eyes opened slowly. She was looking around while still lying in the soft bed, Malachi watched her carefully, "W-where am I?'' Her voice was small, yet a bit hoarse.

"You are safe, I'm Malachi Boardman, and you are?'' He asked, the teen girl was trying to situp and managed to succeed after two tries, the older teen boy named Malachi helped her on the second try. Even though this was his against his better judgment. She needed at least another hour, if that, she was a strong-willed little thing, he'd give her that, as his slender yet strong arms had engulfed her, just to help her in sitting up. The girl looked up at the slender older teen, he had a lot of strength for one so slender, and red hair freckles.

He was wearing some type of farmer's/religious clothes they were a type of brown with some plaid, and boots, Rebeckah dimly noticed that his pants had suspenders. She was eying him like a hawk. To her, he was touching her as though he had a right to her, was she supposed to be scared? She was so confused! Malachi stepped back a bit and had his hands back to his sides. He remained standing, "Rebeckah,'' came her voice. He stared for a minute, "Rebeckah?'' He repeated, she nodded, "Rebeckah Steele,'' he nodded, "how old are you?'' He inquired, "16, and you?'' she said/asked. Malachi answered her, "I'm gonna be 18.'' She nodded while causing her hair to tumble around her face and shoulders, she was pretty silent, he knew that she wasn't afraid of him. "Are you afraid of me?'' He asked she looked at him, "No,'' came her reply. he could tell that she didn't fear much and that she would fight to the death either for someone that she loved dearly, or her freedom.

"What brings you here?'' Malachi asked while sitting on the bed with her, "I came to live with my grandmother, my other family didn't want me, and my boyfriend dumped me when I told him that I wasn't going to give him my first time.'' His blue eyes stared in shock! She was a virgin! Maybe she did kiss the guy, "I didn't even kiss him,'' she muttered like she wanted to, she heard from his past ex that he couldn't kiss, he slobbered worse than a dog. Malachi inwardly smiled, she was very untouched and his! Before they could speak more, there was a knock on the door, he grunted his annoyance, "Don't move or speak.'' He whispered, while standing up, now Rebeckah noticed that he had a lengthy knife in a scabbard; Malachi was walking to the door, "What is it?'' He sounded a bit on the snappy side, rather than that 'almost' gentle guy that was just speaking to Rebeckah.

There was a bit of a pause, "Malachi, Issac wants to speak with you, just for a few minutes. It's important.'' Came a female's voice, he grunted, that little twerp and he will have words! But, at a later time. Turning his attention over to his little daisy, "Stay here, you will be safer,'' Came his voice, "I'll be back as soon as I can, I'll get you some food, and something to drink. I'll be back.'' Frightened, she jumped from the bed and ran over to him. "Wait! You're leaving me alone?!'' She cried while touching his arm, his attention was turned to her, "I promise that I will come back, I wouldn't hurt you.'' he said while he opened the door and stepped out, locking it as he did so. "You promise?'' She whispered while she stood there for a good few minutes, and walked around the small room, she was looking around, trying to pass up the time. She wondered about Burt and Vicky had any luck with finding help.

She was thinking about that little boy in the road, that poor kid, was he from here? Did someone know him? A friend or even family? Maybe this Issac would have some information? Maybe even Malachi? With a sigh, she sat on the bed, and looked out of the window, for a farming community, they had a ton of corn, and she wasn't that much of a city girl. She remembered when she was four or five, she would always visit with her grandparents during the summer, she would go to their farm and be so happy, her and her grandfather would play tag in the cornfields. And have campouts in the backyard. She missed her grandfather, he had a heart attack and died three hours later. She knew how to take care of herself...

-Meanwhile with Malachi and Issac-

"What is it?'' He asked while walking up to them, "Malachi, I need you to do something for me, find the interlopers and bring them to me...'' He looked at his 'associate' the red-headed young man knew that the outlander and his woman were somewhere in town. And he knew that they wouldn't find Rebeckah so easily, as his boots were making contact with the ground, he hated having to have Issac think that he was in charge of them, but for the past three years, he had been slowly turning them against their 'leader' soon, Malachi would be the leader. And Rebeckah would lead with him.

They would lead as long as they wished, and if they would have children to carry on the name of their cause, he grinned slightly. While he picked up his pace, he knew the little runt would have something to say about him 'being late' when he arrived. Issac was standing in the middle of the cornfield waiting for him in the middle of the circle of his flock/followers; his smirk wanted Malachi to cut his head off and kick it in the field. If he were lucky, "Malachi, I'm glad that you could join us, how is your girl?'' Malachi glared, ''She's my concern, not yours...'' Came his warning, "What is it you want, Issac?'' he asked, "It's time for our classes,'' came his voice, the classes were at least ten minutes, "Joseph the betrayer was punished and casted out!'' About nine minutes into the sermon, Issac said, "There was another teenager that came with the interlopers, as I said, she is not to be touched, or bothered in any way, she is to be one of us, and Malachi's promised!" Came his overzealous tone.

One girl stood up, and she was angry, "Issac! She is an outsider! Not one of us and Malachi is blind to her!'' Everyone knew that this girl with her very curly hair and the slender frame was very much in love with Malachi. And he didn't return her love, she was just blank, Rachel was her name. And he felt nothing for her, nothing, Rebeckah stirred him, "She will be one of us.'' Came Malachi's voice, Issac nodded, "Her clothes will have to be changed, modesty Malachi. Her flesh will only be for you.'' He gave the signal for his 'students/flock' to be dismissed. Malachi stood up and walked over to Issac, "A word...'' The tall, slender, red-head muttered. Issac smiled, "Why Malachi, you know how much that I love our talks.'' He said absentmindedly while thumbing through the bible. "Issac, your word is a blood vow to me,'' they both knew where this was going, and they knew that the outlanders will try to find Rebeckah before Malachi could get to know her better.

And he would not allow that to happen, if he had to, he would take her far away and it just be the two of them. Malachi brought himself back to the discussion between himself and the runt. Before the two could even utter another word, two ten-year-old girls came running up to the two, "Issac! Malachi! We have a problem!'' They both yelled, the two males looked at each other and back at the youngers that were running, "Remember what I say, Issac, your word is a blood vow to me.'' Issac knew the hidden meaning behind Malachi's words. "We have a problem!'' Came the two girls as they ran up to them, "What is it, my children?'' Issac asked with a sweet tone while taking their hands and guiding them between himself and Malachi. The elder children were forming a circle around them. "We saw another car coming, it had another man and another woman, with two other teen girls and a boy, and they mentioned Rebeckah's name.'' Came one while the other one was shaking, "The man said this verse, 'Thou shall not suffer...' I can't remember!'' She cried, while sister put an arm around her, Issac tilted his head slightly, "Thou shall not suffer a witch to live?'' he provided, the two little girls looked at each other and nodded, "Let them come,'' Malachi said while touching the hilt of his knife, he'd been itching to try it on the outlander and the blonde man's woman, but he would love to meet Rebeckah's father.

He turned and walked off, he needed to near Rebeckah again. He went into a building where the food was and got some fruit and some toast. He poured her some water, walking to his area, as he did so, Malachi was at the door and opening it, he found Rebeckah looking out of the window, she obeyed him. Rebeckah was sitting on the bed, with her knees drawn up to her chest, her legs were driving him crazy! He wanted to be the one that would take her virginity, and he will, he could tell that she wasn't afraid of him, and she knew true fear. Malachi had a feeling that she knew what fear was, he smiled at her as she turned her beautiful face to see him. "I'm sorry that I'm late, Issac can talk forever, and he sometimes doesn't know when to shut up. Here, I brought some food for you, and something to drink.'' Malachi said while he sat the things down next to her on the bed and sat in his rocking chair. "How are you feeling, Rebeckah?'' He asked while he took a bit of the food from the plate and started to eat it.

"I'm fine, I was just looking around for a bit, and I was looking out of the window and I'm sorry to say this, but that cornfield scares me.'' Malachi tilted his head a bit, "Why does it scare you, Rebeckah?'' He asked, she bit her lip, she shrugged, "I have a sixth sense, about certain things.'' she said, "I always did.'' As the dark-haired teen finished her sentence, Malachi just sat there listening to her talk, he could listen to her for a very long time. "A sixth sense?'' He repeated, she nodded. Before he could open his mouth and ask anything else, he noticed that she wasn't eating the food, "I didn't do anything to it.'' He said while taking an apple, he bit it, "See, it's good.'' he said while crunching on the piece of fruit that he just took a bite out of. He reached out and handed her the apple that he just took a bite of, she took it and bit into it, she shut her eyes for a minute, while she was chewing. She was savoring her favorite fruit, Malachiwas pleased, and went back to eating, a knock had sounded. "I'll be quiet,'' Rebeckah said while he nodded and stood up, ensuring that he had his knife on him. As he opened the door, he saw Issac with two other girls about Rebeckah's age, he stepped aside to allow the three in, "You must be Rebeckah? I am Issac, welcome to Gatlin, this is Helen and Olivia. They are going to help you today,'' she looked at him, this Issac was roughly the same age as her little brother, maybe a year or two in difference. But Issac did look like her younger brother, although some small bits here and there, she looked on either side of the boy leader and saw the two girls around her age. Both were average weight and height, they had dark blonde hair and blue eyes, they had similar dresses on, very modest and conservative.

Dull colors. Malachi motioned to Issac the two stepped out and allowed the three girls privacy, "I told you not to come into my area.'' Malachi muttered, Issac smiled, "I know that Malachi, but I came to tell you that 'He who walks behind the rows' approves of the girl that you want, she has power. I believe that he said that she does not know of them. And her family came a few minutes ago, we have the outlanders' location, and the other girl that was fighting with your Rebeckah, she has been dealt with, and the man that was traveling with her was dealt with too. Rebeckah will stay here and be yours, when do you want your hand-fasting ceremony to begin?'' He asked while Malachi was looking back at his area, knowing very well that Rebeckah was in there and safe. "Malachi motioned to Issac the two stepped out and allowed the three girls privacy, "I told you not to come into my area.'' Malachi muttered, Issac smiled, "I know that Malachi, but I came to tell you that 'He who walks behind the rows' approves of the girl that you want, she has power.

Rebeckah will stay here and be yours, when do you want your hand-fasting ceremony to begin?'' He asked while Malachi was looking back at his area, knowing very well that Rebeckah was in there and safe. "I think tonight,'' Malachi said while placing his hand on the door frame, he was leaning forward, as if in thought.

Even though they knew next to nothing about the other, he could tell that she was feeling something with him. He knew that she did, it wasn't fear or disdain, none of those things, the two girls were bringing out Rebeckah, who was wearing a black turtle neck shirt and an ankle-length black skirt, black boots were completing her outfit. Rebeckah noticed that they had a bit of a heel, her hair was in a loose braid, where some pieces were framing her face perfectly. Issac smiled, "She looks beautiful, doesn't she Malachi?'' Came Helen's voice, Malachi wanted the ceremony done now! He walked up to her, "You do, you know.'' He said while taking her hand and guiding her to him, she was his, and she belonged here. He looked sideways at Issac, he took the hint and the three walked off, leaving them alone. The two were standing there hand in hand, "Is he always creepy?'' Rebeckah asked as Malachi pulled her closer to him, "Why does he upset you?'' came his voice, "No, not really, he just reminds me of my little brother, Gary, he's such a fungus.'' She muttered to herself. Malachi heard her mutter, and nearly smiled, ''Ignore him, we make him think that he's in charge, and he's not.'' he said while they were walking, Malachi deliberately made sure that he was next to the cornfield, and Rebeckah wasn't. He sighed, he would have to tell her that they were gonna be in a sense 'married' as of tonight, how would he tell her? He knew that she would run like hell and never look back, and he would follow and find her and drag her back here. "Malachi?'' She asked afraid. He stopped, "What is it?'' he asked while pulling her to him, it was clear that she had never really been this close to a boy, and if he had his way she would be locked somewhere. But, she would hate that and hate him, and he couldn't bear her contempt. It would kill him.

Their eyes weren't breaking from each other, her teeth were biting her lower lip, his lips had closed the distance, Rebeckah had gasped when she felt Malachi's lips were soft and firm, his warm mouth was dominant as was his body. Rebeckah found her body pressed against

a nearby tree, she felt his slender aggressive body, press hard against her smaller softer frame was engulfed by his taller one. His hands were cupping her face, his mouth swallowing her moans and whimpers, Malachi growled and lifted her up in his arms, while he was pressing her into the tree, her soft plump breasts were crushed against his

chest.

Rebeckah was shocked that someone as thin as Malachi could lift someone like her without no problem, she gasped when she felt his cock push hard against their clothes. His larger hands were roaming her body, while her smaller ones were around his neck and venturing down to his shoulders, he grunted as one of his hands slipped down to the hem of her turtle neck. Rebeckah moaned as his hand was caressing her waist, he felt her child-bearing hip against his knuckle. Rebeckah whimpered the second that he took his mouth from hers and went to her neck, her heart and lungs were pounding very hard, why was her body responding to him?

Before Malachi could place his hand further to please her, he heard a man's voice, "Becky! You whore! You come to your daddy girl!'' She gasped and hid behind Malachi, "Daddy!'' She screamed.
