Chapter 3

The engagement function could be described with one word, Prodigious. Practically everyone was laced in diamonds and gold. All wore themselves with grace. Everyone was enjoying their time. But not as much as the couple, who were to be wed in a few weeks.

Kwan and Star were dancing and were practically inseparable. As Kwan twirled Star around, a snort came from Dash, who was seething in anger, just a few tables away from the place where couples were dancing. He was not directing his anger towards his cousin, but towards the man, that grew the galls to be called his father. Vlad Masters, always neglected his son. And showed him that he was worthless by giving Kwan more attention.

He didn't envy Kwan, he was his best friend. But he always laughed at his gullible behavior, always being the goody two shoes.

Dash wanted the place, the rank that Vlad Masters had. And for that he envied Vlad, and not Kwan. He was just grimacing at the display of affection Kwan was showing Star, who was grinning from ear to ear. According to Dash, Kwan had caught a great bait. Star was the daughter of a politician, a billionaire. She was the lone heiress. And he knew that when the old coot died, all his wealth will be Star's, and in some way, Kwan's as well.

He just turned around and faced his other friends, who were just enjoying their time, and trying to convince Dash to do the same. Well Danny was trying, Tucker was just trying to catch the attention of any hot girl.

Dash just threw his arms back as Kwan walked towards them and sat down beside his friends, while having a dazed look on his face.

"You're an idiot, you know that?" at Dash's outburst, Kwan just shrugged his shoulders, and then proceeded his day dreaming. Dash just growled at the lack of response, "He's just trying to act all kind and other shit, to impress his colleagues. He will never come to care for real." Everyone knew he had issues with his father, but nothing was going to stop his sulking.

He growled once more, then pulled out a wine bottle from a tray that was passing by. Then he opened it and filled all the glasses of his friends. Tucker, Kwan and Dash just fluted their glasses and swallowed it in one gulp. Danny looked unsure. He had never drank before. Jazz was against it, and she was just a few tables away. If she saw him drinking, then there would be hell to pay when he got home.

Dash prompted him, "C'mon D, just a drink. Be a man!" he said and he handed Danny his drink. Danny smiled then sipped his drink. His eyes wandering everywhere, in search of the strange girl. But he couldn't find her.

Everyone was enjoying their meals. An auburn haired girl, who had her long hair in a bun. She just sighed as she watched her brother drinking. She was going to give him a long conversation when they got home. She just turned and faced Dorothea Masters. The wife of Vlad Masters. Both weren't the best of friends, still they could hit it off, pretty well. Jazz just sipped her water when a girl came with a tray in her hand, and handed Jazz a bracelet, with a small diamond attached to it. A gift from the brides family to all the guests. Jazz smiled and then took the bracelet, "Wow, this is so beautiful!"

Dora smiled at her and said, "Isn't it, the Henry's were just so generous on this matter." Jazz smiled softly at her, then looked at her wrist watch, it was already 9 p.m She had to go home. So she just got up and said her goodbyes. Then went towards the exit. She caught sight of Danny, who looked at her with a guilty expression. Showing her that he didn't mean to drink. She just glared playfully at him, then signalled him that she was heading home. Danny nodded then got off of his seat then went towards Jazz.

Both reached outside, where the music wasn't blaring. Jazz turned and faced him, "Danny, I better head home." He nodded, then came forward and hugged her. She turned and pecked him on the cheek, "Don't think this means we're not having a long conversation when you come home!" she said, voicing like a warning. He just smiled, "Wouldn't have it any other way. Night Sis." She ruffled his hair, "Good Night, Danny." And with that she left.

Danny just sighed and went inside. He just entered the tent, when the girl from before caught his eye in the corner. Some girl gave a bracelet to her, and she grinned widely, as she put it one. Danny smiled and went after her. He didn't know what, but he found that girl, quite intriguing. And he didn't know why she was always afraid of him.

He slowly made his way to her, but she went outside the tent, he followed her anyway.

She was inspecting the bracelet, with her back towards him. He just stood behind her, she must've sensed him, and she turned around in alarm. He smiled sweetly at her, "Hi! My name is Danny! What's yours?" he asked, she just glared at him, "Why are you following me?" He was going to answer, but a voice from behind him, stopped him. Both turned towards the voice, and saw a man with dyed silver hair and green eyes, "Sam!"

The girl ran towards the guy. Danny guessed he was her boyfriend, therefore, ruining his chance with her. Maybe that was why, this 'Sam' girl didn't talk to him. He shrugged and just went forward.

Gregor saw that the guy was going away, so he turned to look at Sam, "What was he saying?" he asked in a demanding tone.

"He just asked, where the bathroom was!" she had to lie, she knew that Gregor hated it when some guy talked to her. And he always shifted to control mode, which Sam hated very much.

"Are you sure?" he asked, looking at her with furrowed eyebrows. She rolled her eyes, "Yes, Gregor. What are you doing here anyway?" His anger melted into a smile, "To come and see you, silly!" he said in a matter-of-factly tone. She smiled as he caressed her cheek, "I'll come and see you off if the function ends early. I'll try real hard to make it" she whispered, and he kissed her cheek. He took out his handkerchief from around his neck and gave it to her. She took it and looked at him wide, mirthful, eyes. He just winked

With that, he left, and Sam waited for the function to end.

O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O

Danny sat down beside his friends with a disappointed expression, it didn't go unnoticed by Tucker. He looked at him worriedly, "What's the matter, Dan. You look like a roller coaster rolled you over" he laughed at his own joke.

Dash picked out a small box from his tux pocket and picked out some drugged sugar cubes. He handed it to Kwan and Tucker, who took it happily. Danny became confused at first, but then reasoned that it was just one time. He took the cube and placed it in his mouth. And let the drugs take control.

O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O

They had been driving, all of them left the party and went to the river side. Danny had opted to take them to 'the most bee-uu-tifull place evah', he had said. They all had laughed and climbed in his jeep. It was a miracle how they drove all the way there. But after they reached to river side, they held each other in a group hug and fell onto the ground.

It was night-time, owls were howling and crickets cracking. All four friends were laughing their asses off. They didn't have a care in the world.

"I think I wet my pants!" exclaimed a very drunk Kwan. Each of them had a bottle in hand, and were gulping it down whole. Dash got up from their position off the ground and pulled his chest out, and tried to seem mean, but his lanky footing and blood-shot eyes showed him a lunatic, "I want discipline" mimicking the voice of his father. All of them just laughed as he fell down. They all huddled up and then fell again.

Danny looked up at the sky, "Hey, somebody turn the lights off" and it was dark.

Tucker was gaping and looking at a nearby tree, "Hey its a beautiful butterfly. Lets catch it before it flies away" he ran towards the tree and his knees buckled, as he fell in the water.

O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O

Gregor was waiting for Sam. He had even stopped his ship from boarding, he just wanted to see her.

He was waiting and Sam was running. She came running out of her house, not even bothering to put on her coat. She just ran. She held the handkerchief close to her. She reached the forest, and was running towards the port. Her hair were swaying, and she was loving the way the wind hit her face. She had just reached the river. All she had to do was run past it and then she would reach the port. She just hoped she wasn't late.

She heard faint laughter, which grew louder as she came forward. She didn't stop. She kept running. She ran out of woods, and was greeted with a sight of four boys laughing and rolling on the ground. They looked drunk. She had to get away. So she tried to run past them. Trying not to catch their eye. She ran forward, but a voice called her from her side, "Hey! Look its a Girl". The mistake she made was turn around.

She turned around and saw the boy from the party, with the groom and two other boys. She gasped as they came towards her. She tried to run forward but one came in front of her and blocked her path.

She dashed towards the other side, her heart pounding. But another came, she sprinted past this one. She almost felt like a mouse trapped in a cats paws. And she had to think that, because the guy from earlier, the 'Danny' guy wrapped his arms around her. She was trapped. He was laughing and he had the smell of alcohol on him. She tried kicking, but he was strong. His other companions clapped hands with each other and came towards her.

Her eyes widened, she tried to kick harder. But that guy had handed her to the other boys.

She tried screaming, but to no avail. One boy, with blonde hair, kicked her on the ground and placed his weight on her, as he whispered in her ear, "Shhh" she just screamed and kicked. Dash ripped the handkerchief from around her neck and tied it around her mouth. To prevent her from screaming. That still didn't stop her from doing so. Her eyes were wide with fear. She didn't want to know what was going to happen to her next.

She screamed again, as he ripped her shorts off of her.

After that, all she felt was pain, her vision blurring. She was still screaming, her eyes closed, as tears came pooling out of her eyes. Dash took her first, then Kwan and then Tucker violated her. She was tired of screaming, and she felt pain inside her. She opened her eyes one last time to see the person who had stopped her retreat, and therefore, had doomed her. He was standing, while the others molested her. He had a confused look on his face.

His vision also blurred, and he passed out in front of her. She damned him to hell. And wished that he died. Her moans and groans, and silent whimpers continued the whole night. All of them had used her, and now they were passed out. Her tears were pooling out, she felt dirty, and she felt pain. The stray handkerchief still around her lips.

She damned them all.

She never even knew that the ship she was heading towards, had left hours ago. She had been tormented for hours, and now she saw her vision blur. The last thing she saw, was the light of hope. But it dimmed before she had a chance to embrace it.

Okay, so not my best chapter. As you can see that Danny did not rape her. You could see that right. But he had a cute confused look on his face :) sighs dreamily as the image of Danny pops in her head.

Anyway, I tried hard, but I think I am writing crap. Any confusions, ask. Sonochu, had asked in the reviews, as to why Sam was afraid of talking to Danny. Well she was engaged, and Gregor is a complete control freak. Besides, she grew in the company of her family, no outsider. So she was alarmed.

Wow, My brain hurts. So READ DESCRIPTION, IT WON'T HURT.
