My dad let me off a week early for good behavior. The first thing Ben and I did was go to dinner and a movie. The first football game of the year was on Friday but Ben couldn't go because he had things to do for Adam. The rogues were taken care of so I decided to go by myself.
"Hey I'm headed to the football game."
"OK have fun and stay out of trouble."
"I always stay out of trouble Dad."
"I don't know about that one."
"Shut up Ben. You are not helping."
"I wasn't trying to. Don't have too much fun without me."
"I won't. I'm going to meet up with Jesse and Gabrielle at the game."
"OK see you later."
I was walking across the parking lot when some boys walked up to me.
"Hey look it's freak girl."
"Leave me alone guys."
"No I don't think we can do that you see I know what you are."
"Yeah and what is that."
"You are one of those werewolves."
"No I'm not. I don't know who told you that but they are lying."
"No see I was up in Montana a couple of years ago and I remember seeing you there."
"Why would you be up there?"
"My brother was sick and someone told my parents that the change would save him. So they went up there to talk to this Bran Cornick guy. But he told us that he wouldn't change anyone under eighteen. My brother died before he turned eighteen"
"I wasn't turned. I was born this way."
That's when he slugged me in the face. I fell on the ground and he grabbed me by the hair and dragged me behind the building were no one could see.
"You are lying. What makes you so special? Is it because you are that Bran guys granddaughter?"
"I'm not special. I'm telling you I was born this way. I wasn't turned."
Maybe this will make her talk and then he stabbed me in the stomach with something. When I screamed he hit me again.
"Now lets try this again. What makes you so much better than my brother? Why did they let him die but not you?"
"I'm telling you. I was born this way."
"Well I'm going to make you wish they had let you die."
He started to take off my pants and I struggled.
"No please don't."
"Shut up bitch."
That's when he hit me several more times in the face. He had his friend hold me down and as he rapped me. Then he held me down for his friend. Before he left he jabbed something into the stab wound in my stomach.
"I hope the silver I put in the wound kills you. You lying fucking bitch."
I just laid there crying and shaking. I finally got in my car and drove to the empty parking lot of Adam's security company. I curled up in my back seat and cried some more.
Mean while at Adam's
"Hey has any one heard from Phee?"
"No not since she left. Why?"
"She never showed up at the game."
"What do you mean she never showed up? Why didn't you call us and tell us?"
"I didn't think anything of it. I thought she just stayed home with you until I got here and her car was gone."
"Did you try calling her?"
"No"
"I will try calling her."
I heard my phone ringing in the front seat so I reached up and got it. It was Ben so I didn't answer it. I didn't want him to know.
" She didn't answer. We have to go look for her."
"Ben calm down. Maybe she just could find us and she didn't answer because her phone is dead."
"No it didn't go straight to voice mail. It rang, she just didn't answer it."
"OK were would she go?"
"Well there is the mall, the library, and she likes to walk around walmart."
"Well I will call walmart and see if she is there, Ben you call the library, and Jess you call the mall."
"She's not at walmart."
"She didn't answer the page at the mall either."
"The librarian said she hasn't seen her either."
"Well now what?"
"I don't know Jesse and I will drive around and see if we can find her. Sam and Ben you stay here just in case she shows up or calls."
Jesse, Gabrielle and Adam jumped in their cars and drove around checking the places they thought I might have went. I was starting to feel like I was going to pass out. I knew I had to call someone because they would never think to look in the parking lot of the security company. I dialed Jesse's number.
"About time you call. Ben is freaking out."
"Jesse help me."
"Phee what's wrong? Where are you?"
"Parking lot security."
That is all I could get out before I passed out.
"Phee what are you talking about? Phee? Phee answer me!"
Jesse hung up the phone and called her dad.
"Did you find her?"
"No she called me. I think somethings wrong."
"Why what did she say?"
"She said Jesse help me and when I asked her where she was, she said parking lot security. I asked her what she was talking about but she didn't answer me."
"That could mean anything."
"I think I might have just figured it out. Let me check it out and I'll let you know."
"OK hurry."
"What do you think she meant?"
"I think she's in the parking lot of my dad's security company."
They turned onto the road of Adam's company.
"Is that her car?"
"Yeah" Jesse dialed her dad's number
"Found her. I will bring her to the house."
"OK I will meet you there."
She hung up and got out of the car. She walked up to the window of the car and knocked. I opened my eyes and fumbled to unlock the door.
"Phee who did this too you."
"Mark and Jason."
"I'm calling your dad"
"NO you can't. Ben might be with him. If Ben finds out he won't want me anymore."
"Why would you getting beat up make Ben not want you anymore."
"B-b-because they rapped me Jesse. He isn't going to want me anymore."
"Phee I have to call someone . You are hurt really bad."
"Please just don't call my dad."
" I will call my dad then. Gab can you take her car back to the house? "
"Yeah I will follow you."
"Come on lets get her in my car."
They got me into Jesse's car and she speed off toward her dad's. She dialed his number and put it on speaker phone.
"Dad."
"How is she?"
"She is in bad shape. She was beaten and rapped."
"Where are you?"
"I'm on my way to the house with Phee. I will be there in a couple of minutes."
"OK I just pulled in the driveway. I will get everyone ready. How is she doing?"
"She is passed out. I think she is in a lot of pain. Don't tell Ben she was raped. She doesn't want him to know."
"OK but he will find out."
"I know but she thinks that he won't want her anymore. I'm almost there."
I heard voices and the car door open.
"Phee it's dad can you hear me?"
"Daddy I'm sorry."
"This isn't your fault baby."
"Where is Ben?"
"I'm right here. I've got you."
"Phee Phee answer me."
"Get her in the house and down to the safe room."
I felt someone carrying me and I held on for dear life. I felt them put me on the bed but I didn't let go.
"Phee you have to let go so your dad can take a look at you."
"Don't leave please don't leave."
"I won't."
"No matter what?"
"No matter what happens I'm staying right here."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
"Sam can I talk to you out here?"
"Yeah I will be right back."
I could faintly hear them so I knew Ben could too.
"What is it Adam?"
"They rapped her."
"They what?"
I heard Ben growl and he let go of my hand. I heard him walk out of the room and slam the door. I started to cry.
"Ben she didn't want you to know."
"Why not."
"She thinks you won't want her anymore."
"Nothing could make me want her any less. I love her."
"I'm not the one you should be telling Ben. You should be in there reassuring her."
I watched him walk back in with tears in his eyes. He walked up to me and knelt next to the bed.
"Phee there is nothing that you could do that would make me want you any less. I love you so much and nothing is ever going to change that. What those monsters did was not your fault."
"You mean it?"
"Of course I mean it. I'm not going anywhere."
"I'm sorry. I love you."
"You have nothing to be sorry about."
"We are going to have to take you to the hospital honey. They have to do a rape kit so these monsters will go to jail."
"You can't take me to the hospital please Dad. What if I freak out or something and hurt someone."
"You won't. What makes you think you would?"
"He said he put silver in my wound."
"What wound?"
"The one in my stomach."
"What are you taking about? Let me see. Lift up your shirt"
I did what he told me to.
"Those son of a bitches stabbed you then put silver in your wound? How did they even know that silver would effect you?"
"One of them went to Montana with his parents and sick brother to ask grandpa to change him. But he wouldn't do it til he was eighteen He died before that. He said he remembers seeing me there. He knew that I was Bran's granddaughter. He kept asking me what made me so special that they turned me before I was eighteen. I told him I was born this way but he didn't believe so he would hit me to try and get me to talk. That's why he stabbed me too. He said that he was going to make me wish that they had let me die too. He said that he hoped the silver would kill me."
" How did they know that you were the Marroks granddaughter?"
"Probably by my last name."
"So these were guys you go to school with?"
"Yes"
