Frankie laid on Cleo's bed crying in pain and scared for her life. . Frankie was broken… her mind was in ruins… she could barely gather her thoughts. Her body ached her limbs numbed almost like they weren't there. She was angry scared. Her spirit was shattered. She felt dead… she would rather be dead. 'Is this memory going to haunt me for the rest of my life? Why did I let this happen? I should have fought back. I can't live with this I want to die.' She heard wrestling on the ground. Cleo went to find a first aid-kit. Looking over on the other side of the room she saw Deuce and Manny rolling around on the floor. Deuce's snake hair was hissing and snapping at Manny. Clawdeen was trying to get Deuce off of Manny when she knocked his glasses off. Suddenly Manny was turned into grey stone.

Cleo rushed back in with the first aid-kit followed by two of her servants. They helped a blood Deuce off of the now stoned Manny. Clawdeen handed him his glasses. They all gathered around Frankie keeping their distance to give her some air. She laid there ready for her life to end. It would be okay if it did. She was betrayed by the one she loved. First he cheated now this. 'There's no reason to live on after this.' Frankie's breathing slowed as she laid on the bed lifeless as she felt her body going limp.

"Frankie?! Stay with us Frankie!" she could faintly here Draculaura crying to her.

"She's lost almost all of her energy! Do we have anything to help her?!" Deuce shouted looking at Cleo as she shrugged. Her friends sat there not knowing what to do. "Is there something in her bag?" He asked. Clawdeen ran over grabbing it.

Bring it over Cleo searched through it finding a portable charger. Frankie let out one last breathe as they hooked it up to her bolts. 'Why did he do this?' she said to herself as she felt one last tear fall as everything went black.

Frankie felt herself wake up. She looked at her surroundings. She was in Cleo's room. She got up from the bed heading for the door. Reaching for the knob she gasped. Her hand pasted right through it. Trying a few more times she realized. 'I'm not awake!? What is going on?!' she heard a noise behind her. Whirling around to see Manny on top of her… 'NO!' she fell to the ground watching in horror what had happen to her, but something was different, slowing getting up she walked beside the scene in front of her. Gasping she saw she had both of her hands still attached. Frankie backed away realizing that she was replaying the memory, but as if she couldn't be safe. She couldn't hear anything just silence. That was until she heard Manny repeat the words in the silence "Don't make a noise or move or I'll hurt you." She tried to save herself but it was too late. She screamed when he did what he set out to do. "NO!" she grabbed her head as she let out a shock wave.

"No!" Frankie screamed thrashing finally sitting up breathing heavy. She looked around to see her friend's staring at her. Draculaura stood their covering her face whipping tears away. Deuce had his arm around Cleo while she hung onto Clawdeen. They all smiled at her with fear in their eyes. Cleo moved to the bed sitting down beside Frankie. Everyone else followed her lead. Frankie looked around at her friends.

"Hi…" Frankie said in a hoarse voice. Draculaura started to reach for her when she flinched. Pulling away she cried a little harder. Frankie looked at the time, 6:30pm her eye's widened as she gasped. "How long was I out?!" she shifted her attention to Cleo who frowned.

"About eight and a half hours…"

"EIGHT AND A HALF HOURS!? YOU MEAN WE MISSED SCHOOL!?"

"Yeah ghoul, we didn't want to leave you till you woke up." Clawdeen smirked a little bit. Frankie went to move off the bed when she got a shooting pain through her body. Deuce placed a hand on her shoulder making her flinch again. She looked at her legs to see bruises and bite marks on the inside of her thighs. 'Oh my god how could Manny do this? After all they went through? What was she going to tell her parents?' she thought when a switch in her head clicked.

"MY PARENT'S!?" she looked at her friends as they all gave her an uncomfortable look.

"We haven't told them yet. We called them to let them know that you were going to be gone later then you thought." Deuce said as the others nodded. Clawdeen slow handed Frankie her other hand. As Draculaura spoke. "You're going to have to tell them what happened Frankie."

Frankie felt a pit in her stomach. "I don't think I can… I don't know how to explain it… Just that Manny… Where's Manny?" She scanned to see that Manny wasn't in the room.

"Well after I stoned him I took him to the police." Deuce said with a proud smile "We took a few shots of your bruises as evidence…"

"You did what?!" Frankie yelled glaring at Deuce as his smiled faded.

"Frankie! The evil motherfucker almost raped you! We had no other choice!" Cleo said in an angry but worried tone. Frankie sat there not making eye contact.

"Come on Frankie… we'll take you home…" Deuce got up placing her charger back in her bag and leaving the room.

Frankie got up to follow him when Clawdeen stopped her. "Frankie you should change your clothes. I don't think you should walk in to have your parents see you this right away." Looking in the full wall mirror in the room she saw black and blue bruises covering her legs and arms. Her face was swollen. Black streaks ran down her face from her make-up. Her hair was sticking up everywhere and was knotted in some places. Tears formed in her eyes as Cleo handed her a pair of gold and blue sweat pants and a white hoodie that said Princess on them.

Changing, brushing her hair and washing her face before leaving she took one more look in the mirror. She looked dead. The sparkle was gone from her eyes. She saw nothing but darkness in them. She could help but think it was all her fault. She felt helpless. She said goodbye to Draculaura and Clawdeen leaving the room followed by Cleo.

The car ride was silent. Deuce pulled in to her drive way heading up the hill. Frankie felt a pit in her stomach. 'How am I going to tell them? Just walk in and say "HEY I'M HOME AND I WAS ALMOST RAPED!"? She didn't want to tell them. She was scared of what her parents would do. They loved Manny. The car came to a stop. Cleo turned to Frankie who was in the back seat.

"Do you want us to go with you?" she asked as Frankie gave no reaction. Looking at Deuce he nodded getting out of the car as did Cleo. Frankie got out of the car hesitating at the front door. She could feel her friends watching her.

"What is it Frankie?" Deuce asked.

"Scared?" Cleo asked again getting no reaction from Frankie. "Frankie?" Cleo said placing a hand on her back. Frankie flinched again, but she leaned into her hand making Cleo smile. "It's okay, they are still going to love you no matter what." Cleo pulled Frankie into a hug.

Frankie wiggled out of the hug looking at Cleo with no emotion and said just as emotionless "Thank you." Turning Frankie opened the larger wooden door. Walking into the dark castle Frankie felt it matched how she felt dark, sad and empty. "Mom, dad I'm home." she listened for any noise. I minute had pasted and no one showed up or spoke. Frankie processed into the living room followed by Deuce and Cleo. Frankie walked through the dark easily but she could her Cleo and Deuce bumping into things. She couldn't help but smile. Frankie found a box of matches and lighted a candle on the coffee table and sat down on the couch holding her detached hand. Deuce and Cleo sat in the chairs across from her not saying a word.

Some time had passed when the front door opened hearing her parents laughing. Entering the room they saw her daughter staring at the flame in front of her. Mrs. Frankenstein rushed over embracing her "Why were you gone for so long? The headmistress called saying you missed school. Are you okay?" her questions just hit her and bounced off. She didn't want to answer. She sat there staring at the flame as it flickered. Her father entered the room turning on a lamp. The room lit up making Frankie jump she was blinded. Cleo got up and walked over to Frankie as she stared the candle. Grabbing her hand Cleo spoke "Frankie you need to tell them…" Frankie just stared as her emotions swirled inside of her first fear then anger finally sadness. She couldn't take it anymore she finally broke. Throwing herself on to her mother she cried falling apart. She dropped her hand on the floor.

Her father bent down and picked up his daughters hand. He looked at it confused. He looked back as his crying daughter noticing that she wasn't wearing her own clothes. Turning to Deuce in a rage he grabbed him by the shirt pulling him off the ground. Cleo screamed seeing her boyfriend dangling about two feet off the floor. Frankenstein yelled in a calm voice "What is wrong with my daughter?" Deuce didn't speak fast enough in Frankenstein's mind. He drop Deuce hard on the ground and repeated with more anger "WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY DAUGHTER?!" Cleo rushed to her boyfriend's side making sure he was alright. Looking at Frankie she looked back at Deuce "We have to tell them cause Frankie can't or won't." just as Cleo was about to tell her parents Frankie spoke up.

"Manny… he did something… He… he…" She spoke in between sobs

"He? He what?" Her mom stood up clinging onto her husband. Frankie sat there for a few seconds before continuing.

"He forced himself on upon me…and he…" Frankie couldn't even finish before her father was losing temper.

"HE RAPED YOU!" Her father screamed as his bride fell to the floor crying. Her father turned his attention back to Cleo. "When did this happen? Where is he know? I'm going to kill that son of a bitch!"

"It happened this morning… he's at the police station as we speak…" Cleo said looking at the floor scared to look Frankenstein in the eye.

"He didn't actually rape me… I used my hand that he knocked off to knock on the door right before he was going to…" Frankie's mother moved to her daughter's side as they cried together holding each other tight. Turning back to Deuce he stared at him and asked "What happened after that?"

"When I heard the knock I knew something wasn't right. So I opened the door to what was going on… I tackled him to the floor… we fought for a bit and then Clawdeen knocked off my glasses… I stoned him…" Deuce smirked at the thought. Looking back at a silent Frankenstein he waited for a response. Frankenstein looked at his daughter with pain in his heart. He looked at her hand in his and sighed.

"Thank you Deuce, so how long has he been stoned?" Deuce looked at his watch. "Several hours he should be back to normal in about an hour."

"Go there and tell the police we will be down there to file a report. I will make sure this will never happen to any other girl." Frankenstein said in a stern voice. Deuce nodded grabbing Cleo's hand leading her out of the house.

"Frankie? Sweetheart we are so sorry this happened." Her mother said in a soft scratchy voice. Her father disappeared from the room looking sad.

"Why?" Frankie said felling anger inside of her. "WHY DID YOU HAVE TO MAKE ME?! I WOULD RATHER BE DEAD!?" she stood up going to leave the room but her mother grabbed her arm.

"Frankie please."

"NO! I WISH I WAS NEW CREATED. THIS NEVER WOULD HAVE HAPPENED! I WANT TO…" Frankie fell a pitch in her neck and cold spreading through her body. She weaved slightly. 'Why am I so sleepy?' Frankie collapsed into her father's arms. He looked at his wife who looked back in horror.

"WHAT DID YOU DO!?' She ran to him confused.

"I gave her a mild sedative to put her to sleep." He said carrying her down to his lab as his bride followed.

"Why?"

"So she wouldn't hurt herself… or hurt anymore." Frankenstein laid her down on the table gently. A tear fell as he looked at his sleeping daughter.
