Ali sat on the bed for a few minutes before she finally picked up the sandwich and began eating. She knew that if she was going to act out on her escape she was going to need as much energy as possible.

Dwayne stood in the doorway just out of sight until she started eating the food he had given her thinking to himself that maybe she actually was going to listen to him, he wasn't betting on it but he figured he would find out soon enough. But until then if he wasn't going to drain her he needed to feed or he might just kill her accidently. He left the cave then setting out on his bike to find his next meal. He found that in a young couple sneaking out to be alone on the bluff.

Mason had been in love with Shelby ever since he first saw her in Algebra class two months ago; to him she was perfect light brown hair that fell to her waist, chocolate brown eyes, a killer smile and the best tits he had ever seen. Today he had finally convinced her to go out with him, they had gone to the movies and saw the new horror flick The Blair Witch project and he had absolutely loved the way she curled up into him at the scary parts, the way she would hide her face in his chest then kiss his neck was almost too much to handle. He had brought her up to the bluff after the movie hoping to get lucky with his sixteen year old bombshell.

Dwayne watched the young couple walking the same path that he had picked up Ali on, only two days before. The chick kept freaking out at every small noise she heard yelping that the witch was coming to get them. Dwayne suppressed a chuckle when she jumped about a foot at a falling leaf. He watched as the boy laid out a blanket, and the couple sat down on it sucking face the whole time and as they began to undress each other he swooped in pulling the boy off of his girl and ripping out his throat right in front of her spraying her with blood in the process. She screamed a loud ear piercing scream and took off running back to the trail barefoot in only her bra and jeans. He drank from the boy but not enough to kill him and left him drowning in his own blood as he flew after the girl. She hadn't made it far before he cornered her at a large oak tree. Backing her into the tree he watched as her breasts spilling out from the top of her bra heaved up and down from her deep breathing. He grabbing her by the throat and flew up into the air bringing her back to the scene of her dying boyfriend. He made her watch as her first love took struggled to breathe through a torn esophagus until he finally succumbed and died on the ground. Laughing as the girl cry out his name, he finally turned her around, roughly pulling her head back by her long hair exposing her long lean neck. And with one final scream he dipped his fangs into her and had her drained within a minute.

Ali finished her food and polished off the water quickly and set to working on the knots, with the light of the fire it made the previous impossible task a little bit easier. No too easy though in fact it took Ali about forty minutes before she had loosed the bindings enough for her to wiggle her ankle out. They were still a little too tight though and all her wiggling had caused a deep rope burn which causes her to limp.

Ali limped over to the fire and picked up to torch that her captor had used the night before, quickly lighting it and hastily moving to the exit. Ali struggled walking in the tunnel that led out of the cavern with the damp rocks and sloping edges. She hadn't made it far before she dropped her torch, falling to the ground and landing in a puddle it extinguished immediately Ali was left in the dark. Ali spun around slowly trying to get her bearings down before she tentivly began to move again about ten steps in she ran into a wall. And before she could back up the wall reached up and grabbed her.

"You little bitch!" he yelled grabbing her by her shoulders and shaking her roughly digging his extended claws into her arms. He released her arms, and instead wrapped his hand around her ponytail, dragging her back into the cavern by it. He whipped her back around to face him as he slammed her into the wall holding her up to his eye by her arms level her legs dangling about a foot off of the ground. "Didn't I tell you not to try to escape? You little bitch, didn't I!" he screamed, shaking her the entire time.

Trembling Ali tried to answer him but it felt to her as if her heart was in her throat.

"Answer me!" he yelled, his face contorted in a deep rage, the drying blood of his previous victims still on his face, all of his taunting humor left behind.

"Yes," Ali squeaked out.

"I told you, you were mine now. I told you I would make you pay if you defied me. I told you, you'd be sorry." He growled out. Pulling her away from the wall and slamming her into it once again, this time allowing her to crumple to the ground her nose starting to bleed.

"I'm sorry," Ali gasped out, "I'm so sorry." Crumpled into a ball Ali covered her head tensing up for the next blow.

"You sorry," Dwayne sneered pulling his foot back to kick her. "I'll make you sorry." Swinging his foot out he stops short of kicking her deciding instead to pull her up by her hair that has now fallen out of her ponytail and was hanging down by her face. Hand gripped behind her left ear he leans in and growls, "I'm going to give you two seconds to explain why you tried to run away before I break every single one of your fucking fingers."

Cowering against him she cries out, "Because I was afraid!" Daring to look into his eyes she continues, "I was afraid of you, what you're going to do with me, what your plans are for me, I was just scared ok." She reaches up to her face pausing as he reaches up to grab her hand, "I'm just trying to wipe my nose ok, I'm not trying to anything else, just wipe my nose… please." She says quietly as the blood drips slowly from her nostril.

He allows her to wipe her nose as he takes in what she has told him. Dwayne takes a calming breath before he begins again, "Alright girl I have decided to give you a second chance but it will be the only one you get, if you ever defy me again I will break every bone in your body and then watch you suffer as you drown in your own blood." He pulls her close to him until they are nose to nose, "got it." He growls.

Ali looked deep into his eyes, "I won't run away again, I promise." She softly said her voice steading a bit.

Dwayne studied her face for a moment before he released his hard grasp on her, patting her cheek gently, "now that's a good girl." Guiding her to the bed and sitting her down he says, "Alright doll face we're going to play a little game here I ask you a question and then you answer, and if I like the answer you give me I'll allow you to ask me anything you want. Ok." He watches as she slowly nods, "Good. Why were you jumping off the bluff two nights ago?"

"I didn't want to live anymore," she stops earning her a dark look from her captor. So she continues on, "I was alone in the world, I had no one to turn too when my life began to cave in on me, I figured nobody would miss me so it didn't matter if I lived or died."

He nods, "alright that's good enough for now. Your turn."

Ali sighs tilting her head to the side considering all the questions she has for him and decides to go for the easiest first. "Who are you? I mean what's your name?"

He lets out a soft chuckle, "really out of all the thing you could have asked me that's the one you come up with." He rolls his eyes before he answers, "its Dwayne. My name is Dwayne. Now my turn, you said you have nobody what do you mean by that?"

"I mean I have no family, no friends, just nobody. My dad left when I was a baby and my mom's been missing for a long time now. So I'm alone. It's just me." Ali's voice cracks a little as she finishes thinking about her mother hurt so much she barely ever did it. "Uh Dwayne," she said softly.

"Yeah," he grunted

"Is it my turn," she asked looking up to him with bright eyes glazed with tears.

"Yeah," he grunted again

"Um did you kill somebody tonight? You're covered in blood."

"Mmmhmmm" he responded nonchalantly, "Now for your question. You look like you're about ready to cry, why's that?"

Ali gives him a sad smile as a tear slips out and falls down her cheek, "It's my mom. It hurts so much to think about her. She was my best friend, I really miss her."

His hand rises to her before he can stop it, and as he softly wipes the tears from her cheek he catches a small smile on her face. Dwayne jumped off the bed, storming off to the other side of the room and rummaging in the bag once more, he pulls out a long chain before he returns to the bed grabbing her leg roughly making the girl let out a small yelp. He attaches a cuff to her ankle and then to the bed. "Can't have you taking off again now can I doll face?" he says angrily before leaving the room.

Ali stares after him in confusion. What had she done wrong to make him so mad at her, it seemed like they we're just talking for the first time without any issues that was until she mentioned her mom. It really upset him for some reason, and now with him mad at her again she could only imagine what he had in store for her next.

Dwayne stomped off out of the cavern until he was in the main room of the cave, he took one look at his brothers sitting in the main room before he walked outside and he was staring out into the ocean when he heard someone behind him. "What do you want?" he sighed

"To know why you look as though you've seen a ghost." He heard David say behind him.

"Yeah dude what is it?" He heard Marko chime in

"We're getting kinda worried about you, which is such a drag." Paul added.

"It's her," Dwayne said softly, "when she smiled at me, it was like I was looking at Cree. They have the same smile and I don't know it stirred something inside of me, something I haven't felt in a very long time. I'm not sure I like it but I'm also not sure if I want it to end, I don't know, I just don't know."

The boys didn't say anything they knew Dwayne didn't like talking about his past especially Cree, David first then the others followed until had him flanked on either side. David raised his hand and clasped him on the shoulder, "it will be alright man, I know it will." They all stared out into the water until it was time to go back in to sleep, united as brothers once more.

So what do you think, love it? Hate it? let me know. Also if there is anything you would like to see pm me so I can maybe make it happen. XO - Vana
