"Motherfucker!" I yelled as I flew up, being awoken to a burning sting across my face. My head aching from getting up so fast. I was a bit dizzy and my eye sight was blurred out.

"Did you just slap me?" I asked.

"Good, you're not dead" a voice said. I squinted my eyes to see the person. Drake. He was sitting on a chair babysitting me and watching a movie, one of which I recognized to be SAW II. While I was on the ground! What a gentleman

I scoffed, "Like you would care"

"Nah, I don't but Caine does, and I don't mess with the boss man's orders"

I rolled my eyes, helping myself up. Then remembering my injuries, I looked down to my legs, and to my surprise they were gone, actually I wasn't surprised at all coming to think about it, Caine probably tortured Lana the healer to heal me while I was unconscious.

"What's your name?" I asked bluntly, pretending to not know who he is.

I saw his eyes roll before he responded. "Drake"

I nodded, then sat alongside him. He pushed me off the chair so fast it almost seemed like a reflex of his.

"Scared of girls now?" I asked tauntingly.

He glared at me at first, stood up and then his whip hand curled around my throat lifting me a few feet in the air.

"I may not be able to kill you, but come near me again and I will hurt you so bad you'll beg for death"

Uncontrollable laughter replaced my words. "Aw Drakey. Don't worry I won't but I can't say the same for you"

Though I never was a pester to anyone, I wasn't evil and seducing. I felt like I had the need to be with him, I felt like toying with him. There was something about him that was bringing out the evil in me that had settled. I knew I was probably playing with my own life in doing so, but I've lost everything there is, so what the hell. His grip tightened and eyes pierced mines. Then I was flung across the room, crashing into a wooden bookshelf.

"Breaking our agreement so soon already Drake? or have you forgotten who's in charge" Caine said as he stepped through the door, Diana tagging along as well "My apologies" he said helping me up. "Again" his gaze transferred to Drake, who was now storming angrily out the door.

"It's nothing, barely felt anything" I replied shifting my weight to my left foot.

"I don't remember me introducing you to us, we got off on a bad start. My name's Caine" he pointed to Diana "Diana and.." he pointed to Drake "Drake"

I didn't dare open my mouth, though I knew every single one of them, I felt it necessary to pretend I didn't. The topic itself would put me in a sticky situation.

"Yeah, that's the only thing I got from him that was non abusive since I was forced here. Shanice is my name"

Caine smiled, "Well Shanice, let me give you the run down of things here. You're in Coates Academy in case you're wondering. I run things around here. You have a choice, stay and give your services to us, in return we'll feed and protect you, or you leave, but when you do you're considered a enemy and I will not hesitate to let Drake finish you off. Clear?"

Well damn! "Crystal, I'm staying."

Caine nodded in satisfaction, "Wise choice, Welcome!"

"Finally, another girl to the group" Diana exclaimed throwing her arm around my shoulder, "Don't worry I'm considered the sane one of them both" she said noticing that I flinched a bit.

I gave a slight smile in response. Shortly after they left, I gave off a long sigh.'I'd be better off if I died in that crash'
