DISCLAIMER: LYRICS USED IN THIS CHAPTER BELONG SOLEY TO ARTIST ENYA AND THE BAND OF FISHER. PAINT THE SKY WITH STARS BY ENYA AND I WILL LOVE YOU BY FISHER. I DO NOT CLAIM THE LYRICS. Enjoy though everyone. :)

So, I worked really hard on this chapter. I added in a humanity twist to the Darley gang from what I observed watching DS haha. Kassia is 18 now. And she's so far gone in shock and denial. Thank U to the people who reviewed last time. XX-Kris.

My head stayed silent on the back of the seat as more tears slipped from my eyes. This was the first time my tears felt heavy, like steel bars. My whole life had been a steel bar and I thought it couldn't get any worse. But it did, and now that I got my wish wanting my Dad out of my life, permanently silenced. I never meant it that way I didn't! I can't stop what happened, but I should have been able to do something, anything. At least to save my baby brother. God.... Luke, Lukers. He had so much potential and now?

My mouth tried to open, but the substance of the tape kept it sliced shut. It was burning. I blinked a few times and my legs were aching. My entire lower body was on fire. No matter how many times I tried I couldn't shake the image of his thin face, gone ghostly. My Dad's tired eyes shut my Mom's worries gone forever.... All that was left of the Hume in me was my arrogance. That wouldn't save me now. Snappy comebacks? What can that do? My body jolted into itself and Bodie turned in his seat, closing his eyes and shaking his head once.

I let my eyes plead with him. If someone had a spark of humanity left it might be him? He cocked his head to the side and I raised my hands slightly. I blinked and let more tears release, cold. Cold tears? His bowed his head and shook it again. I couldn't speak, but I shook my head as well as few times. He got it obviously because his hand raised before it faltered. Billy turned to him from the side, his eyes glanced back to the wheel immediately and the sound of the gloves was clear as his palms dug into the leather wheel. And for a moment I could have sworn I saw a flash of water glazed over them.

He looked to Bodie again and Bodie patted his shoulder, more leather creaking.

"Billy how about we-"

"Don't you fucking dare!" He suddenly snapped.

"I'm just sayin'..."

"I can't fuckin' help her Bodie and you know it! I don't go fuckin' back. Only forward!"

Bodie turned around again and shook his head sadly. I leaned my head back into the seat and my eyes went weary. I was starting to feel the same exhaustion and my body was blocking more tears and my mind was blocking what happened. It's a dream this isn't happening. I'll go to sleep and let the nightmares come, then it will all be gone. Yes, it'll be gone. Gone, gone, gone..... I leaned my head back and closed my eyes. Sleep came easier then I thought it would be. You're not scared my mind told me. You love your family with your whole heart my heart spoke out to my head. The internal battle clashed with the denial and the dream weaving weary swept over me. I let my eyes flutter shut and the tape silence me. I put the form of the X to good use and let it cross out everything wrong tonight......

(3rd Person)

Kassia's breathing had ceased. The roughness was gone. Bodie had to turn and make sure she was still breathing. Not only had he had to deal with Rowan's emotional mess these past few days he also had to protect him. It didn't matter if Billy was his bonded brother, no! If someone took his flesh away then he would stop at nothing or no one no matter how much they meant to him to get the person that caused it. Joe meant the most to him. Billy's light in this dark world and now he was gone. The two men set in the front and Bodie watched his best friend, his brother as his eyes stayed frozen to the road. It only left the road once, the stone place where his feelings connected and looked to the rearview mirror, glancing at Kassia in the back seat. It was crucial to others how they had their perceptions of Billy Darley.

He didn't care at all, but Bodie had sometimes wanted to shout out that Billy wasn't a fucking monster. He did what he had to, but wouldn't do what he didn't feel through his soul that he needed to do. Everyone sees what they want to see. They'll never know a true-life bond. The Darley gang may not be saints, but their world isn't one big lie. They don't hide behind money or make-up facades. The truth is always told, some secrets, but loyalty never dies. Bodie wanted this world much more than anything he could have been. All of the men had choices and they chose.

It was so hard to fight an internal battle with yourself and your life. But what Billy always taught the men. That one little phrase. "Where does your heart reside?" And they all had chosen where it lied. It wasn't easy to kill, but when you doing it for something you believe in, it made the choice justifiable. Fucked up to anyone who didn't understand it. Every person no matter who they are, except devils, demons, hell and serial killers feel. To gangsters its harder, much harder. Because they can't feel. If they felt for everything they did and everyone they killed then there would be nothing. No purpose for them.

Joe was Billy's purpose. Wanting Joe to have his heart into something he believed in. That purpose was gone and Bodie knows Billy will now truly be gone with him. You take away one Darley brother and you take off half of the Darley.

Billy always held on by a thread, but when Joe was taken so was Billy's heart. What was left of him anyway. Billy looked as though the car floated a lone on the black dark, wet street. His breathing was loud as usual and rough. He blinked and turned his a few times. His mouth twitched. It was over now and Billy had nothing left to take. Another purpose gone for Billy and Bodie knew Kassia would be on the receiving end of his lost purpose. Maybe it wouldn't be so hard if Rowan didn't care with his whole being about this girl. Men were easier to take away. Because they can't bear children, much less a future to be thoughtful about taking....

Suddenly before my eyes

Hues of indigo arise

With them how my spirit sighs

Paint the sky with stars

Bodie to felt empty. Joe was his second light and lost his brother. Bodie couldn't imagine what he would be if Rowan was taken from him. Bones would be afraid of him.

Billy pulled into the familiar alleyway of the backside apartments near Stokely Hall. The car stopped and Billy turned the ignition off. He leaned back into the seat.

Only night will ever know

Why the heavens never show

All the dreams there are to know

Paint the sky with stars

"Bodie.." He spoke quietly.

"Yeah man?" Bodie looked up at him.

"I'm gonna take her ass on up and get shit ready. Make sure the ass holes run rounds tonight. Last thing I need it Bones fucking up my last plan." The roughness was on the edge of his tone, but he couldn't produce enough if it to make anyone shake. Anyone that didn't know him of course.

"So what are you gonna do after..." Bodie motioned his hand to the back seat.

Billy stayed silent for a moment before leaning up and pulling his cigarette pack from his back pocket. He lit one up quickly and scratched his chin before removing the black gloves and throwing them near Bodie's legs on the floorboard.

Who has paced the midnight sky?

So a spirit has to fly

As the heavens seem so far

Now who will paint the midnight star?

"I don't know yet. But the bitch isn't getting the easy way out. Anyone with the last fucking name of Hume..." He trailed off again, puffing the remaining hit and tossing it out the damp window. The cool air made both men suck in. " What about Wallis?" Bodie questioned.

"Don't worry about that bitch. She'll have her hands full anyways. She's nothing I can't fucking handle."

Bodie sighed in agreement. "Yeah Billy, but you know she's gonna love the fact that Hume's daughter's body is missing. Which only means one thing for her. It gives her ass a chance to come after us."

"Like I fuckin' said Bodie. I can handle that bitch. I have for years; her tricks are nothin' new. "

Bodie nodded. "Man I know that shit has been rough, but you know I always got your back on this. You know that! Just don't...."

"You just fuckin' worry about your brother Bodie and let me worry about Hume."

Night has brought to those who sleepOnly dreams they cannot keepI have legends in the deepPaint the sky with stars

"Ok." Bodie sighed defeated. "I'll be down the hall, just knock if shit goes down." Billy nodded.

Bodie patted his brother's shoulder once more before exiting the mustang. Once he disappeared Billy looked to the back. Deciding it was best and extra cautions to leave her sleeping. He could get what he needed to get done easier if she was asleep and get the plan in motion.

He got out and stretched his muscles before pulling the back seat open. He grabbed Bodie's leather coat and tossed it over Kassia, picking her up in his arms. She was cold and pale. The same lifeless look and denial written all over her face that Billy had known only all to well. She was light, but freezing. She was trembling, but she stayed unmoving in his arms. With ease he grabbed the gun and placed it in his back belt loop. He left the gloves and shut the door. His adrenaline kicked back in. Time for another fulfilling moment. He was making good on his promise to Nick Hume. He was going to fuck his daughter. No remorse, a second thought, anything!

Who has paced the midnight sky? So a spirit has to flyAs the heavens seem so farNow who will paint the midnight star?

The cuts and gashes were clearly visible all over her body. He knew that pain. It pissed him off because he had thought Hume to be this clean-cut fuck. Making his revenge all the more tasteful, better. Now because of the problems he obviously caused, it made things sort of tasteless.

Billy reached the dark halls of the building. He walked down that familiar path of slim light, Buzzing noises and took his key from his pocket and popped the lock. He wasn't stupid enough to leave it unlocked for someone to come for. Especially anyone who wanted a report of Darley life or Billy himself. The place was clean enough. Billy lived in this apartment with himself only. As strange as it may seem, most thinking he and his gang would share a place, they didn't. Except for his close living to Joe and Bodie staying some times, but mostly with Rowan as Rowan lived with their mother, but she was out drinking half the time.

Billy liked his own space. Free to be they're without any distractions or frustrations from his gang. Bodie did live there, but was MIA a lot.

He slammed the door and double locked it. Picking a black zipped up bag from the counter he walked down the wooden hallway and opened the door to his room and tossed the girl down in the middle of the messy deep blue sheets. He pulled the bag open, pulling out a few items and tossed it to the floor. He pulled the sheets down and untied her hands. They were red and still shaking on their own. He pulled her right wrist up first and placed the black double rope through the whole of the silver post and tied it harshly to her wrist. He then moved a little over her and did the same with the other hand. He decided to remove the tape for better coverage. No one could hear the bitch anyway. He wanted to hear her beg. Once the tape left her mouth she sucked in sharply before falling limp and her breathing came out lightly. Billy stood back to give her the once over. She had one simple diamond through her navel and her toned and curves struck him out. The plan would be better then anything.

He reached into the bag and pulled out a long roll of condoms, ripping one package off and tossing it to the nightstand. The clock on the side of the stand read 2:30 AM. Not much time had passed, but it felt like eternity. He wasn't giving her any object of comfort. The only comfort she would be getting was if her own body produced the wetness. It would be a challenge, but Billy took pleasure in that.

He stood back and gave her the once over. She jerked and let out a shriek before her eyes flew open. They closed again before fluttering and opening once more. She let out a hoarse sob. "No... fuck no." She cried.

"Yes." Billy beamed in. She jerked, but failed and went limp. He knew she had no more strength left. He grinned darkly and removed his shirt. "How are we gonna do this? Huh Hume?" He growled.

Kassia tried to scoot up, but he held her legs down and slapped her cheek harshly. "Well look at that. 2:34 AM. Happy birthday bitch!" She let out a loud cry.

~*~*~*~*~*~*

My dreams were the same. Brendan taunting me. But my fears came. I felt cold and I was there back at my broken house staring at my dead family. Luke lifeless. And I heard the rain begin again around me. A flood of water carried blood down the stairs, Luke's paintings floated with it, family videos and pictures. I cried out as it swept my feet, my hands were numb and I felt someone near me. Mom. Luke. Dad. It has to be them. It's all a dream again. My eyes snapped open and he was there. Billy Darley stood, crawling towards me like an animalistic monster. I let out a loud scream hoping this wasn't true. I ruined my own fucking chances at escaping.

Place a name upon the nightOne to set your heart alightAnd to make the darkness brightPaint the sky with stars.

After the ordeal with Billy I hated myself with all the strength I had left, which wasn't much, but enough darkness inside of me to pull out energy for my hate! I denied it felt good for the first long minutes of this ride. My sobs were quiet, but strong and my chokes were vile and weak. Darley had placed another piece of tape in the form of an X for his own personal pleasure on my mouth back in that car. He made me very aware of the fact that he was doing something much more worse than murdering me.

He wasn't taking my life! He made it clear numerous times enough. No he was taking up the one thing I had saved up for so long. My innocence!

After everything I didn't care what he did to me. Trying to get my own justice wouldn't help. My entire family was gone and nothing in death made sense to me. Look what my father's justice had caused! My head looked back and forth, as this room seemed to get darker. His shadow hovering near me. I couldn't escape him now. I didn't know what time it was I'd guessed maybe 4 or 5 in the morning, but he made it clear. My birthday was here. The day I was free from my parents and Brendan the day I wanted so badly and now? I sniffed. I cried quietly with no boundary.

More tears came and came and came. Billy Darley hovered himself over me. He slapped me harshly. His skin was warm and I didn't want it. I wanted the cold feeling to match my body, mind, heart and soul.

He yanked my underwear from my thighs and pulled them off. My hands moved against the silver wildly. I couldn't hold on to anything nor could I cover myself up. "Your a woman now Hume. I promised your father something now didn't I? I always follow through on my promises." He laughed darkly as he lifted up and pulled the buckle loose and zipper to his jeans down. He wasted no time as he pushed his pants down. I cried out and turned my head away. He slapped me again. "No Kassia your gonna fuckin' look!"

He pushed my bra up and threw it from me. He rubbed my bare shoulders and slid his hands down my arms and brushed past my breast. My heartbeat came to my throat. He pushed against my breast harshly before biting at my neck. I could feel him all over me.

"No." I begged.

Like my voice tonight it was rendered useless. Had no meaning. "Go ahead and scream Hume, but it won't help you. No one can hear you but me." His hands leapt up my thighs and traced me. My throat closed and I let out a gulp. He licked the bottom of my collarbone and the tip of his tongue slithered up my neck. His hand gripped my center tightly and I whimpered my body jerked into it. I didn't know what was wrong with me tonight? Why couldn't I stop my body from reacting? I tried to close my legs and they fought his big strong ones. I saw the tattoos seep from his neck and down his shoulder blades. They must've stopped somewhere on his back.

Something came over me in a fraction of a second as he gripped me again letting his hand catch between my legs. The more I fought him the more it worked. So I let my legs open. Why, why was I doing this when this man had just killed my family? Why couldn't I control this all better? Was I really that twisted with denial? He kissed the cuts on my wrist. "Ow god. Stop!" I cried out. He laughed, not quite cruelly, but with a cocky tone to it. It reminded me of that fascinating stranger whom I branded Joe as. I shut my eyes from this mess and I heard a snap. "If that hurts then you definitely won't like this." He growled, sharply slipping in an inch or two of himself. I cried out. "Ow, stop it!"

(3rd Person)

He had to resist a frustrated grunt. He'd hated the hassle of virgin's, and though he took much pleasure and satisfaction, hell even justice, especially in his enemy's daughter. Nick thought of him as Bones's spawn and he pictured Kassia that way.

The thought made him grin darkly as he pulled the inches out making her breath release to it's slightly elevated levels. "D-don't please! I didn't know anything I swear. And I don't care who the fuck you think you are," She spat, but, "your not getting the chance to rape me Billy Darley!" She finished growling.

Billy smirked. He never would rape someone, that is a line even he wouldn't dare to cross into. It's not like his fuck's or whatever they were resisted anyway... But this bitch was putting up to much trouble and he was getting upset with her. He has planned on killing her after he'd had his fun. He hadn't expected her to be a virgin and he would have found out the hard way if he hadn't slipped his fingers inside her in the mustang. He didn't need any diagram or any proof to know that she was one. She was way to intact and way to soft and slim they're to have any sort of contact. He was surprised to say the least. It wasn't stopping him as he pushed in more of himself making her cry out. "Ow, ow ow. Ouch." She whimpered, her eyes filling up.

Just like he'd hoped her body produced the wetness he needed. He knew she wasn't quite where he wanted her to be, but the fact that he could torture her with what her body was responding to was good enough for him. "Wow Kassia. So much wetness. Admit it baby you like this don'tcha?" She screamed out and he let out a grunt as he met the resistance. More fucking resistance......

*****************

"God stop!" I screamed. The pain was shredding me. Billy had me already, along with shredding my body's last piece of childhood away he was taking me away. I was fighting down moans, but my legs kept trying to close. It wasn't me, but rather my body on high defense and that made me feel like wanting to die. Or kill myself for letting it feel good. My hands jerked as he pushed in more, the pain twisting it's way further up into my body. I let the heel of my foot slide up his thigh. "Ouch. Oh god." I whimpered. The pain was getting hotter and it twisted into a slicing torture and ache.

He did something that surprised me and released one hand and I surprised him as well and myself as the free hand didn't fight to get away, but it immediately went into his back and clawed harshly. He pushed my forehead up to his and his dark eyes sparkled as he growled. And for a moment I let myself deny and got most in the dark sparkle dancing all around in his eyes.

His lips bit into my hungrily and I let myself get lost. I bit his lip harshly and it didn't phase him as he pushed, the twist making me scream out and the tears slide down. My head twisted into the blue bed sheets and his bare waist was shaking as he pushed forward. I screamed out and he growled again, sighing and it was then he lifted up against my quiet form. I let my eyes linger closed as I felt the fullness inside of me. I tried so hard to cry to hate it, but the denial washed further and I lost it. I lost Kassia now. I had finally become Billy Darley's toy. I didn't care about the ache, but to grasp onto control as my mind begged for me to keep it senses I pushed it down through my hurt and broken self and body. It screamed for me as I buried it under myself. His eyes burned into my and I screamed on as the new pain came. Soon enough noises were coming from not only him, but me. I was crying and moaning all at once. The thrust hurt more than anything I'd ever felt. His right hand rest onto my wrist, but he enjoyed watching me loose myself. He smirked satisfied. "I'm killing you." He whispered once before thrusting harder.

I felt him stiffen and then the sound of heavy breathing came. I started to cry out and he pulled from before pushing my hand back roughly and tying it up.

He stopped and got up. He leaned over me. "I got you Hume. Your a woman in my world. And without your pathetic family you have no world. I'm not done bitch!" And he left me alone. Slightly covered and bleeding on the bed. Confused at how consensual what just happened was. How I was gone, but still me. And I remembered he knew it all. My family.... Oh god.... I curled up as best as I could by myself and started to cry again.

'Til my body is dust'Til my soul is no moreI will love youLove you'Til the sun starts to cryAnd the moon turns to rustI will love youLove youBut I need to knowWill you stay for all timeForever and a dayThen I'll give my heart'Til the end of all timeForever and a dayAnd I need to knowWill you stay for all timeForever and a dayThen I'll give my heart'Til the end of all timeForever and a day'Til the stars fill my eyesAnd we touch the last timeI will love youLove youI will love youLove you

*shakes head* damn word!!!! Anyways, whatcha think? Review if you like it. Kassia seems to be loosing herself. Maybe she'll come back or maybe she won't? ;)
