"What do you want with me!" Reivin asked as she panicked.

"Revenge, my sweet doll." The guy that held Reivin said.

Ben.

She had panicked now. But, how did Ben escape jail? And after two years?

"What are you going to do to me?" Reivin asked, scared of the answer.

"What I started two years ago." He said as he pinned her against the alley wall. "I'm going to make Tala pay for sending me to jail. And doing it through you is the way it hurts him the most."

"Please…you can't!" Reivin pleaded as tears fell down her cheeks.

"You cry and scream it only makes it more pleasurable dear." He said as he started to take off her shirt.

"Don't!" she yelled as she tried to push him off but failed.

Don't be scared darling, this wont hurt…much." He said as he laughed like the maniac he was. She cried even more as he took off her pants. He took out a knife out of her pocket and her eyes widened.

He started to cut her arms and legs. She scram in pain and he forcefully kissed her so she wouldn't scream. More tears fell down her cheeks.

Tala was the only thing on her mind.

(At The Hotel)

Tala sat at the couch watching TV. He looked at the clock. 9:30. He told her to be here by now. Where can she be? Maybe I should call Claude?

He got up from the couch and headed towards the kitchen phone.

"Hey Tala." Tara said. She was in the kitchen while Rei made what looked like hot chocolate. "Where's Reivin?"

"She's with Claude but I told her to be back by now." He answered. "I'm going to give him a call to check up on her."

"Don't you think you're being overprotective?" Rei asked and Tala shook his head no.

Tala dialed the number and waited until the phone was picked up. "Hey Claude."

"It's Tala."

"I'm fine. Listen, can you tell Reivin to come over here now? It's getting late…"

"What do you mean she's not over there?"

"She was never there? But she got a call from saying that you wanted her to go over there…"

"You never called her?"

"You've all day shopping for wedding dresses with Alina?" But, she went over to your house. You told her you'd be there…"

"You weren't there?"

"Okay then, I'll talk to you later. Bye."

With that Tala hung up and sat on a kitchen table.

"What's wrong?" Tara asked, sounding concerned.

"He said Reivin was never there. He didn't even call her." Tala said.

"Do you think something could have happened?" Rei asked as Katana and Kai came into the kitchen.

"Could have what happened?" Katana asked as she sat down on one of the chairs.

"Reivin went over to Claude's house but he said she was never there." Tara said.

"Claude even called her." Tala said. "I was there when he called."

"Maybe it was someone else." Kai said. "Technology these days is impressive."

Tara was about to talk but Tala's cell phone rang. He took it out of his pocket and answered it. The screen read "Reivin!" in blinking lights with the little monkeys dancing around. He quickly answered it. "Hello? Reivin?"

"Tala?" Reivin said from the phone. He could tell she was crying. "Tala, come get me…"

"Reivin! Where are you? What's wrong?" he asked. The others looked at him with curiosity.

"I'm outside the hotel. Tala come get me, please. I can't walk."

"Stay where you Reivin, I'll be right there!" Tala threw his cell phone on the table and ran out the door. His friends gave him weird looks as he ran outside. He ran passed the hallways and people were giving him weird looks. His eyes widened as he saw Reivin outside the hotel entrance.

Her arms and legs had a lot of cuts on them and were bleeding. She had a few cuts on her cheeks and her lip was bleeding too. Her clothes looked like they had been run over by a lawn mower because they were ripped everywhere. Her usually black-red hair was blood stained at the tips and instead of going to mid back; it was unevenly cut to right above her shoulders.

"Reivin!" Tala yelled as he bent down and hugged her tight.

"Tala?" she whispered as she cried. "Don't let him hurt me again?"

Tala picked her up bridal style and carried her inside to their room.

Tara and Katana gasped when they saw her. Rei and Kai's eyes widened as Tala set her down on the couch.

Rei got up and went to get the first aid kit. Tara and Katana rushed to her side and Tala went into the kitchen to get her some water and medicine.

"Reivin, what happened?" Tara asked her friend.

"He's back Tara…" Reivin said as she sat up and buried her face in her hands. "Ben is back…" she whispered the last part but it was still audible. Tara and Katana gasped.

"What did he do to you?" Katana asked, already knowing the answer.

"He…he…" Reivin broke down crying again. They heard a crystal glass break and looked towards the kitchen entrance. Tala stood there, eyes wide, at the information. The water and broken glass at his feet.

"Reivin?" Tala said as he walked towards her and looked at her in the eye.

He had tears in his eyes. "Please no, God no. Reivin, please say you're lying. Please, just this once, please just be lying to me. You can't be… this cant be happening!"

"I'm so sorry Tala." Reivin said she cried and nodded slowly. Tala pulled her into a hug, which caused her to cry even more. Rei came back with the first aid stuff and she pulled back so that she could get her wounds treated. Tala stood up and sat on the other couch.

Rei finished in while and Tala carried Reivin into their room so she could rest. Tara and Katana stayed in the room with her while the guys were in the kitchen.

"I'm so sorry Reivin." Tara said as Reivin cried even more.

"It hurts so bad." Reivin said.

"I know how you feel Reivin." Katana said as she looked at her friend. "I know it's horrible, but you have to control yourself."

"I know…but, what if Tala doesn't like me anymore?"

"Reivin, you've known Tala since you were 4 and you still doubt him?" Tara said as she placed her hands on her hips. "You know he's not like that. He loves you Reivin. He truly loves you and doesn't plan on leaving you."

Reivin nodded. The door opened and Tala walked in.

"Hey…" he said softly. "Can we talk?"

Tara and Katana stood up and left. Tala went over to her and sat next to her on the bed.

"Reivin, was "that" the only thing he did to you?" Tala asked her and she nodded.

"I'm sorry Tala."

"For what?"

"I wanted you to be first and only?" Reivin said, barely above a whisper.

Tala bent down and kissed her forehead.

"Me too." He said. "But at least you're alive and safe. And that's what matters the most to me now. I can't afford to lose you."

Reivin wiped the tears from her eyes and looked up at him.

"That's what I love about you Tala." She said as she smiled a bit. "No matter what stupid things happen to me, you always stay by my side."

"That's because I love you." He said as he smiled at her.

"Tala! Look at this!" Tara yelled from the living room.

"What is it?" he yelled back. He really didn't want to leave Reivin alone.

"Turn on your TV and go to channel 55!"

He turned on the TV in their room and on to channel 55. There was a news report going on.

"Hello everyone. Heather Miller here, reporting from the national jail in Japan. It got reported that a serious killer, and child abuser has escaped from jail. Last they knew, he was heading to KuraKura Island. He goes by the name of Ben Valkov. We recommend that all parents keep your little ones indoor. And teen girls, be very careful. He was also accused with rape attempt. School will also be canceled until further notice. Now back to Joe with the weather."

Tala growled at the TV and threw the remote at it. Luckily it wasn't hard enough for the TV to brake. Tala turned to Reivin and gave her a look that said everything she wanted to hear. She hugged him around the waist and cried again.

"Don't worry Reivin. I'll never leave you. You mean the whole world to me, I wont let anyone hurt you like this ever again, and I'll make Ben pay for what he did to you"
