Kathryn awoke the next morning with a headache, probably from the alcohol and drugs she had consumed in her room after Sebastian had left to get Elise. She turned to her side groaning from the sun that was coming through the Rosemond Estate windows of the bedroom. She noticed a handsome dark haired man facing her with eyes shut. She thought back, who was he? Where was he from? Kathryn had never seen him in her life.
"Good morning" The dark haired man kissed her forehead affectionately.
"I'm sorry about this but I have no idea who you are and what you're doing in my bed"
"Don't you remember? We made love last night; you told me you loved me Kathryn"
Kathryn went wide eyed as she listening to the man's tale of last night. She couldn't believe what he was telling her. She hated the word love and would never say it and mean it.
"But, I...what?"
Kathryn rubbed her forehead.
"I'm joking Kat, we fucked but you weren't as kind as you come out to be, far less"
Kathryn's frown turned into a seductive smile. It was all coming back to her now the man.
"Hello there" The dark haired man approached her in her own room.
"What the fuck do you think your doing in here!?"
The man walked up to her and sat on the edge of her bed, careful not to get close to her.
"I followed you up here, after seeing you with Sebastian I was intrigued"
"Sebastian? You know Sebastian?"
The man brushed her hair away from her face and took the glass of expensive champagne from her hand and placed it on the table beside the bed.
"I'm Elise's brother, James"
Kathryn was now very interested in the conversation she was about to have with the handsome dark haired boy called James.
"James White, funny Elise never mentioned she had a brother"
"It's James Winchester; I'm actually Elise's step-brother"
"Step-brother? I figured that the man was her dad, not step-dad"
"Elise and I have been step-siblings since we were 7 years old"
Kathryn moved closer to him and straddled his lap.
"I'm Kathryn, Kathryn Merteuil, Sebastian's step-sister"
"I know who you are Kathryn"
"You do?"
James kissed her neck seductively, it was almost like Sebastian had been doing it. But no, the feeling of his lips were different to the soft pouty ones of Sebastian's.
Kathryn moaned into his ear as he caressed her now bare breasts, god she was still turned on from Sebastian and needed a fuck, she didn't care who it was.
She jumped on the unexpected James and undressed him quickly; pacing her self she rode him. His hand grabbed her roughly on the hips as she grinded on him.
"God your beautiful Kathryn"
"I know"
In a few more thrusts both had climaxed and were now exhausted. Kathryn and he lay side by side both heaving to catch their breath. Kathryn nuzzled his neck with her nose and closed her eyes. She fell asleep on the handsome James' body as his arms laced themselves around the naked beauty.
"Are you attending Manchester this coming semester too?"
Kathryn wanted him to say yes, it would give her a new toy and she just knew it would piss of Valmont and that prissy bitch.
"Yeah, unfortunately"
"Good, because I plan on having my way with you Mr Winchester"
She kissed his lips and ran her hands down his bare, very muscular chest.
"Sorry Kat, but hands off. One night stand babe, I'm kinda with someone"
"What!?"
Kathryn screeched not realized that she sounded a little over dramatic over the whole situation. He had used her for a good fuck; she of all people would not be used. Who ever this whore was Kathryn would bring her down.
"You sound a little jealous Kathryn"
"I'm not jealous, but when I don't get what I want I get cranky"
"You'll just have to find another boy toy sweetie, I'm not for sale, I was just dishing out what the bitch dished out to me, and hopefully she learned her lesson"
Before Kathryn could reply James was dressed and out of her room. What the fuck was he on about? Kathryn put on her robe and turned on the water in her shower, after all the alcohol and drugs she had consumed she needed a nice hot shower to calm her down and make her feel better.
Elise's eyes fluttered open as she found a warm body next to her, she hadn't remembered much of last night only being with Blaine. Then she thought to herself, maybe the man next to her was Blaine.
She turned around smiling until she realized it was Sebastian and not Blaine, the already awake Sebastian. Her smile fell when she found Sebastian and not Blaine and it annoyed him.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing" Elise lied to Sebastian, why? She didn't know.
He pulled her in close and cuddled her to keep her from shivering, it was a cold morning and seeing as both were wearing mostly nothing it was even colder and he could tell Elise was cold as she was shivering.
"Sebastian did we….you….did we you know?"
Sebastian laughed at Elise's misconception.
"No, you got drunk, jumped in the lake and I saved you. When I was about to leave you here for the night you asked me to stay"
Suddenly guilt overpassed Elise's honey brown eyes. Sebastian knew that she was guilty about something but he couldn't put his finger on it.
"Oh god" She gulped.
"What?"
"I…I have to go Sebastian"
Elise picked up her now dry clothes and put them on, but before she could go Sebastian stopped her.
"What's wrong?"
"I, I can't be here, not with you. If he sees me…oh god I'll be dead"
"Who sees you Elise?"
Elise realized that she had almost blurted out her secret, no one knew about it except herself and the guy it involved. She didn't plan on telling Sebastian as he would probably judge her.
"Don't worry, Sebastian this never happened okay?"
"What never happened? Elise we didn't do anything I swear"
Before he could stop her again she rushed out the pool house door and walked briskly through the green dewy grass towards the Rosemond Estate. What had she done?
"There you are"
Someone grabbed Elise by the arm and pulled her back into the darkness of shaded trees so they were hidden. Elise was about to object when she saw his face, her expression softened and she breathed in a long breath.
"I've been looking for you everywhere"
"I'm sorry, I was…um" She couldn't think of a suitable excuse, surely he would see through her.
"With Sebastian?"
"No, well I mean yes but nothing happened!" She protested.
"Cut the shit Elise, I know you. How could you? To me!"
"We didn't do anything I swear"
"How come you were both barely clothed when I walked in?"
Elise looked around, she didn't know, she couldn't really remember. She had been so drunk that she mostly had no memory of the events of last night.
"Please James listen, he wouldn't. I wouldn't, not to you"
She kissed his lips softly and grabbed his hand, enlacing their fingers she caressed his cheek lovingly with her other hand.
"I sure hope not"
James suddenly felt guilty. He had slept with Kathryn in spite of Elise because he had thought she had slept with Sebastian. How could he be so stupid? Elise would never cheat on him.
"I missed you"
Elise smiled at his kindness.
"I missed you too"
The house was pretty quiet at the Rosemond estate, Kathryn was busy packing things to go back home and being angry at that morning's even to care who was in the house. As far as she knew Sebastian was in his room packing and the other step-siblings had gone with Helen somewhere.
Sebastian approached Kathryn's door, knocking lightly three times he entered without Kathryn noting him to, thus telling Kathryn exactly who it was. She was in no mood for Sebastian's antics.
"What do you what Valmont" She scowled at the handsomely looking Valmont.
"Are you ready to go?"
"Excuse me?"
"Aren't you coming back with me, in my jag?"
"When hell freezes over yes" She replied snarling at him.
"Okay, if you plan on walking home fine by me"
Sebastian started to walk out until Kathryn stopped him.
"What?"
"The limo is being occupied by your mother and I was informed I had to take you home"
"I'm not a child Valmont"
"Sure, fine walk home in those heels"
Again he started for the door until she stopped him.
"Wait, okay I'm coming!"
Kathryn rushed downstairs as the maid brought down both Kathryn and Sebastian's bags. She tapped her foot impatiently, waiting for Sebastian to hurry up and get down stairs; she wanted to leave before James got back.
Unfortunately she wasn't so lucky. Just as Sebastian reached the last step of the stairs and they were about to leave two figures entered the room hand in hand. They didn't know that Kathryn and Sebastian were still there.
When Elise looked up and saw the two she quickly removed her hand from James' and acted as if nothing had happened.
"Oh Kathryn, Sebastian, leaving are we?"
Sebastian smiled at his friend.
"Yeah, heading back before school starts tomorrow, Kathryn has a few things to do before hand"
Kathryn smiled politely before turning her head to scowl at James. His eyes though were fixed on the pretty blonde in the room.
"It was so nice meeting you Kathryn, I'm sure I'll see you around"
Elise smiled at her fakely as Kathryn was brought back to the conversation.
"Oh yeah, you too"
"Kathryn, I forgot to introduce you to my step-brother James. James this is Kathryn, Sebastian's step-sister. Kathryn this is James"
"We've already met" Kathryn said with her icy tone.
"Come on sis let's leave the two alone, I'm sure they'd like to go now" James pulled at Elise's arm; Kathryn knew they were going upstairs to fuck.
It didn't take long for Kathryn to figure out that the two were involved in ways that Sebastian had dreamed for him and Kathryn. So weak, in love. Kathryn thought to herself.
"See you around Kat" James said, winking at her.
Sebastian was parking his car in front of their townhouse as he and Kathryn argued.
"They are not Kathryn, stop being a jealous bitch"
"THEY ARE SEBASTIAN!"
Kathryn and Sebastian argued about the step-siblings that were accommodating at the Rosemond Estate. Kathryn had a suspicion they were involved and Sebastian didn't believe her.
As Sebastian walked through the doors to the tow house Kathryn followed closely behind, still arguing her point.
"James told me he had someone special, you saw it, they were holding hands!"
"Oh big fucking deal Kat!"
"Elise is not who she portrays Sebastian don't come crying to me when she breaks your heart because she's fucking that mindless step-brother of hers" Kathryn yelled as they entered the sitting room Sebastian and Kathryn's parents were seated in.
"Kathryn, that's not lady like young lady now apologize to your brother and us"
"Sorry"
Kathryn snarled at her step-brother. Why didn't he believe her? He had seen it himself.
"Sebastian, wait a second there son"
Sebastian turned around to his alcoholic father.
"What?"
"Is Elise back in town?"
"Yes dad she is and Heather and Brian too. Not that it matters to you; they always thought you were a sleazy old dirt bag. Right they are"
Sebastian's mood had turned from bad to worse when he noticed his parents were home. He liked when they weren't there it gave him a chance to try and get Kathryn in bed.
It also meant that his dad wouldn't be eying of Kathryn and her mom wouldn't be trying to seduce him. He cringed at the thought. His family was fucked up.
"What is your problem?" Kathryn screamed as she stormed in to his room un-announced.
"YOU! STOP BEING A JEALOUS ICE BITCH AND GET OVER THAT ELISE IS BETTER THEN YOU!"
Sebastian was met with a hard slap across his cheek that left an instant red hand print on his cheek, yet he continued.
"She's smarter, prettier and she's not a vindictive slut like you. You can't get over the fact that she may be the better version of you Kathryn. She's going to win the school over and you're going to have to stand back and watch as you lose to her at every election and every debate. Because in the end she's a better person and she'll always win"
Kathryn's eyes started to well, Sebastian continued.
"And you know what; she looks fucking hot in a bathing suit, more so than you!"
That was it, Kathryn had, had it. She closed her eyes tightly trying to fight back tears. For once she didn't have a reply. She was so hurt by his words that he ha reduced her to tears.
A tear ran singularly down her smooth cheek.
"Get out" Sebastian said coldly, pointing over to the wooden door. Kathryn didn't oblige and walked defeated out of his room. She stumbled weakly over to her own room and went inside.
Once behind closed doors of her own room she locked it and started to sob. He had broken her. He had hurt her so much that she had reduced to tears over words! Kathryn took off her heels and hurled them across the room at the mirror. Fortunately for the maids, Kathryn's blurry vision made her miss her vanity mirror and just mark the wall.
Kathryn fell to the floor and crawled to her bathroom. When she reached the toilet she stuck her fingers down her throat and threw up whatever food she had recently had. Kathryn barely ate as it was. Yes she would throw it back up occasionally but only when she had eaten too much.
This time was different. Her hair hung loosely around her as she threw up into the toilet her contents of breakfast and lunch. Her tear streaked face was red from crying and throwing up and she felt so weak. Her hand reached the flush button and she flushed it down wiping her face on a cloth she continued to cry.
Kathryn stood up on her small legs and walked over to her full length mirror. Usually she would admire herself in the mirror telling herself how beautiful she was. But after Sebastian's hurtful remarks she could only see a fat ugly girl in the mirror in front of her.
She pulled off her clothes and looked at her naked, slender, white body in the mirror.
"You fat bitch" She muttered to herself.
Her hands ran over her body. Down her thighs. Are they fat? She wondered to herself. Then Sebastian's words replayed in her head.
"She's smarter, prettier and she's not a vindictive slut like you. You can't get over the fact that she may be the better version of you Kathryn. She's going to win the school over and you're going to have to stand back and watch as you lose to her at every election and every debate. Because in the end she's a better person and she'll always win"
Kathryn started to sob again; tears were falling un-controllably to the floor. She wiped them away with her hand but couldn't keep up with the many tears she was shedding.
"And you know what; she looks fucking hot in a bathing suit, more so than you!"
She pulled on a silk night gown then looked at herself again in the mirror. Fat, bitch, ugly. That was all she could think of; quickly grabbing her robe she fixed it around her and got into her bed.
Sebastian paced around his room. He had made her cry. Never had he been so mean to her that she had cried in front of him before. God he really must have hurt her.
"Stupid slut, she deserved it" He told himself, not completely believing it.
He walked outside his room and put his ear to Kathryn's door. A loud thud was heard along with some muffled words that he couldn't quite make out.
Then the un-mistakeable sound of Kathryn throwing up. She always threw up he reminded himself. She had probably just eaten more then she would have liked and decided to lose some weight.
"Yeah that's it" he muttered to himself quietly.
His ears were met with silence from the Ice princess' room. He heard another mutter that sounded a lot like 'fat bitch' but her couldn't be sure. No she wouldn't say that to herself, she knew she was goddamn stunning and no one could tell her different. Not even him.
Sebastian went back to his room and opened his journal. Writing down what just happened into the leather bound book.
I didn't mean to call her that; it just came out of my mouth. She is beautiful, the best looking thing I have ever seen without a doubt. Surely she wouldn't have taken what I said t heart. Was it an act? I can't be sure, but I do hope I haven't hurt her. She doesn't need reason to be self conscious she is as beautiful as they come and no one can compare to her. Not even Elise.
The words imprinted into his journal now. He shut the book and locked it back in the box in the locked draw. His head rifled over the words he had said to her. He basically called her fat. What had possessed him to even come close to saying it? She was far from fat, he had devoted some part of his life in making Kathryn realize she wasn't, just to go back and destroy all his work.
Kathryn poured a few pills into her hand. She couldn't remember what they were for. She thought they were something to do with her weight problem that a doctor had prescribed her.
She placed them in her mouth and swallowed them hastily, the pills scratching her throat as they travelled to her stomach. She clutched her crucifix and took out the tiny spoon that was mounted with coke. She snorted the white powder and rubbed her nose.
"Elise-fucking-White" She muttered to herself.
She had stopped sobbing, but every now and then a few tears would stroll down her cheeks. She couldn't sleep and she most definitely couldn't go anywhere at the risk of walking outside her room and seeing Sebastian, the man who had caused her this misery.
She definitely didn't want to go anywhere in skimpy clothing. She felt fat and bloated. Her body was no longer skinny in her mind it was a figure of her imagination and she could picture the fat on her body that Sebastian had basically pointed out.
Kathryn clutched her small flat stomach. Fat. Fat. Fat. She went back into the bathroom and continued to throw up, the drugs that were in her system probably being thrown up right now.
Her tiny hands held her frail body up as she continued to spew. She became weak and couldn't hold her body anymore. Her hands gave way and she fell to the floor. "Fuck" She said to herself as her head collided to the floor.
She was too weak to get up and move, she closed her eyes and went into a state of unconsciousness. Maybe tomorrow would be better she thought to herself as her eyes closed and her breathing became shallow and soft. She floated into a light slumber, her usually pretty face was mascara streaked, her hair was messy and she looked so pale she could be mistaken for a ghost.
This was all for Sebastian. What had he done? He was slowly going to kill her, with those words. They'd continue to replay in her head until she dies and even then when she's rotting in hell they'll still be there. Those words telling her she's a slut and fat. God she hated him.
A/N: I thought it was time Kathryn broke down. I know it's early in the story but it needed something to make it I don't know the word for it. But yes, Kathryn has been broken and her usually confident self will not be so confident in upcoming chapters.
I enjoy writing in Elise and James, they make an interesting write. I don't know if people will like the story line of James and Elise as it's much like the step-siblings of the Valmont-Merteuil house. But they are different.
It'll explain later in chapters too come. Hopefully you'll like this chapter; I sure had a good time writing it. Please review and tell me what you thought.
