-A few days later, with Cashew-

Cashew was pacing around his room, it's been a week since Alice and Cole disappeared. He had gotten a message on the group chat that she decided to go on vacation with the menacing man, he thought it was a little strange that she didn't come back for some bags, said goodbye, or anything like that.

He pulled out his phone and dialed her number.

'Hey, this is Alice, sorry you just missed me! Shoot me a voice message and I'll call you back!''

"Hey Alice, we're all wondering when are you coming home, you've been uh..gone for a week. Are you okay? Uh..call me." He said into the voice message before hanging up.

As Cashew pocketed his phone, he suddenly felt like something was wrong. He took his phone back out of his pocket and looked at the last message she sent.

'Hey guys! I've decided to go on an extended vacation, Cole invited me, I'll see you guys very soon!'

Something about that message really stood out to him. He had to confide in someone…who could he talk to without scaring them?

He all but ran out of his room and looked around, that's when he saw Seth looking out the window in the hallway and visibly relaxed, he went up to him and that's when he noticed Seth's unhappy face.

"Hey..is everything alright?" He asked the demon hound hybrid.

"I have a bad gut feeling..Something's wrong.." He said.

"You feel it too?" Cashew asked.

Seth looked at the squirrel boy. "Alice wouldn't normally disappear like this, right?" He asked.

"N-not usually…She always updates us and always makes sure that we're okay if she ever goes away." He explained.

Suddenly, Cashew felt his phone vibrate, he looked at it and it was Alice.

'Hey, Cash! Sorry for missing your call, I've just been busy relaxing! I'm having such a good time! I'll see you guys soon!'

Seth looked at the message and made a face. Alice never calls Cashew 'Cash'...

Cashew quickly began texting back. 'Hey, uhh..can we call? I just want to hear you, make sure you're okay, y'know? It's been more than a week since you left, are you okay?'

He sent the message and after a few minutes she messaged back; 'Oh, sorry, I'm not able to call right now. My phone got water damaged and the speaker isn't working. Sorry :('

Seth, who was staring at his message, shook his head. "This isn't Alice. She'd find a way to call. Ask her to use Cole's phone." He directed.

Cashew nodded and texted; 'That's fine, why not use Cole's phone since he's with you? I'm sure he won't mind!'

Minutes went by and no response. Cashew and Seth looked at each other. Something was terribly wrong. They had to do something.

"Hey..Anon's good with hacking right?" Seth asked Cashew.

"Yeah, he can hack pretty good." He responded.

"Perfect. I'll get him to trace these messages, we gotta see if Alice is okay." He said as he took Cashew's phone and went over to Anon's room.

XXXXXXXX

-In Anon's room-

Seth all but kicked open Anon's door, startling him from his MMO game.

"Get out!" Anon yelled as he tossed an empty box of girl guide cookies at Seth. Seth dodged the box and looked at the lemur man.

"This is serious, Alice might be in trouble, we need you to use your skills to trace these messages that she just sent us." He explained.

Anon, understanding the situation, got off his mmo game. "Alright, hand me the phone, it shouldn't be long." He said as he had his hand out.

Seth handed Anon Cashew's phone and Anon quickly got to work.

"Did she mention a vacation spot when she last messaged?" He asked.

"Not really, she just said she was going on an extended vacation that Cole invited her to." He explained.

After 10 minutes Anon sighed frustratingly. "No good, it seems like Alice's phone has some sort of block. It's goin' to take some time, but I'm goin' to try to get through." He said as he ran a hand through his ginger hair.

Seth clenched his fists. "Whatever, as long as it gets done. I have a pretty bad feeling.."

XXXXXXXX

-With Alice-

It had been a few days since she's seen or heard from Cole. He must be royally pissed at her escape attempt… All she could do was cry out all of her tears.

She was currently laying on her side, a plate of food was by her, as well as a cup of water with a straw. She silently cried as she was scared about what might happen to her if no one ever finds her.

Suddenly, she gasped as she felt movement within. What was that? Was that her baby? Just how far along is she!? It's already moving! As she suddenly burst out crying, suddenly remembering her pregnancy, she heard the basement door open and slam shut as she heard someone cursing out, was it Cole?

She glanced over to the stairs, she saw Cole coming downstairs, he was finally ready to see her. He went over to her and sat by her.

"I don't like doing this to you, my love." He muttered as he rubbed her head. "I want to let you roam around this space, especially since you're carrying my child. But you just..you just take your privileges for granted!" He yelled.

As he rambled on, Alice flinched as she felt movement again, Cole took notice of her flinching and looked at her, panicked a bit. "What's wrong? Are the ropes too tight?" He asked as he looked at the ropes.

Alice couldn't help but cry as she felt the movement of her child, should she tell him? Maybe he'll untie her if she does.. "T-The baby's m-moving." She cried. Cole's eyes slightly widened. He couldn't help but wonder how far along is she? He closed his eyes as he juggled his thoughts.

"If I untie you, and you try to escape again…there will be severe consequences." He said as he hovered his hand over the ropes.

"I-I won't! P-Please!" She cried.

He nodded and untied her. Alice stretched once again and looked at Cole.

"J-Just how long a-am I going to be d-down here?" She asked through her tears.

Cole stroked her head as he purred. "You'll be down here, as long as you continue to defy me. Until you see how much I love you, you won't be leaving this basement." He said to her.

Alice's eyes watered as more tears went down her cheeks. As she cried, suddenly, she heard a phone vibrate, was it hers again? Cole whipped out a phone, it was hers.

Cole stared at the phone, Anon was calling. He showed Alice the phone with a sickeningly sweet smile. "You know…you can have more privileges around here..if you do as I ask." He said to her.

Alice swallowed hard. "W-what do you want me to do?" She asked nervously.

"Simple. Tell him, you're no longer coming home. Tell him you've decided to break up with him and the others. If not…I can always take extreme measures.." He said menacingly.

Alice's eyes widened, she was being forced to leave her lovers behind… How can she do that?!

"Time is ticking, my love..are you going to do it? Or will I have to force you?" He growled.

Alice shook her head. "I-I can't do it! I love them!" She cried.

As if something just snapped in him, Cole grabbed Alice by the throat again and pulled her in.

"If I ever hear you say you love someone other than me, I will have to show you, just who you belong to.." He threatened. Alice slapped him off, shocking him from her sudden defiance.

"NO!" She shouted. "I-I did love you! I did! But you've shown me your true colors! I don't love you anymore!" She yelled.

Cole was silent. He could feel his mind suddenly snap. She didn't love him? No…that's impossible.. If she didn't love him, she wouldn't be carrying his child..if she didn't love him, she wouldn't let him touch her the way he did…

No

No

No

No

No

NO!

Suddenly, like a wild animal, Cole pounced on Alice and tore through her clothes, all the while Alice tried fighting him off.

"STOP! PLEASE!" She cried.

He had to show her just who she belonged to, even if it meant doing this to her. He grabbed her and pulled her in for a rough kiss, he shoved his tongue inside her mouth, groaning at her sweet taste. Cole quickly shed his clothes and pulled her in and shoved himself inside of her.

Alice cried as she tried pushing him off, but to no avail, she was just too weak to fight him off.

"COLE PLEASE! I'M SORRY!" She cried as he pumped inside of her.

"You're going to love me.." He groaned. "You're going to see just who you belong to!" He growled.

During their quarrel, she suddenly noticed her phone next to her, Anon was calling her for the second time, she looked up at Cole, he was lost in his passion to notice her phone. She reached and managed to press the answer button.

'Oh finally! I was beginnin to think you weren't goin to answer, luv!'

She had to let Anon know that she was in trouble without alerting Cole..so she did what she thought best, continuing to fight him off. "C-Cole! Please stop! I'm sorry! Let me go!" She cried out as Cole continued pounding her.

'Alice!? Is everything okay!? Answer me!' He yelled.

"You're mine…mine…mine…MINE!" Cole snarled as he pounded her, he looked down at her with lovestruck eyes and kissed her deeply. "You're going to love me!" He yelled at her as he continued his assault.

As he thrust inside her, his eyes fell upon the phone, Anon was on the line. He stopped his movements and snatched the phone.

'Alice!? Answer me! What is goin' on over there?! Alice!?'

Cole hung up the phone and looked at her, his eyes were filled with rage. Alice began to crawl away slowly.

"You… You continue to test my patience darling." He said as he stalked up to her. Alice quickly got up and ran towards the stairs, Cole ran after her. As she went to the top of the stairs, she found that it was locked, to her horror. She looked back and all she felt was a prick at her neck and everything went black..
