It was Halloween night, and Yugen and Heinrich were getting ready for a masquerade ball at the Mutter Museum. Yugen was hired months in advance to play the violin at the party, she felt excited because Halloween, especially at the Mutter Museum was always a blast. Heinrich dressed up as the phantom of the opera, and Yugen got creative with her costume.

"Yugen, sweetheart, are you almost ready?" Heinrich asked, beginning to feel impatient.

Yugen steps into the kitchen of the systems home, "so, what do you think?"

Yugen twirled gracefully and seductively on her black heels as Heinrich looked at her in awe, "Oh my…"

She wore an elegant fawn mask, black opera gloves, and a scantily clad dress with garters that were daringly visible between her stockings and the hem of her dress, he thought about popping one of them, which he did. "Hey! What the hell you sadist!" Yugen laughed as she slapped Heinrich playfully on the arm.

"Very hot," was all he said, not even flinching at Yugen's half-hearted violence. He tugged at her French braids that hung past her shoulders and whispered into her kissable black lips, "If we weren't so strapped for time, I'd bend you over the table and ravage you."

"Hmmm, well how about we wait until after the party." She retorted as she gently pushed his hands away.

"Or maybe during?" Heinrich lewdly suggested in Yugen's ear as he followed her out.

The party at the Mutter Museum was better than previous years— amazing new bands played the entire night and Yugen, as always, got to party for free. Yugen had two glasses of champagne, whereas Heinrich had three, but that didn't stop them from stumbling to the bathroom as Yugen clutched her third drink in her hand. Heinrich practically dragged Yugen into the stall, or was it BT? He'd lost the German accent, so she knew it wasn't just Heinrich anymore, but she didn't care. She was buzzed and horny and wanted to have a good time.

Whoever was fronting, they roughly grabbed her chin and trapped her body and face between themselves and the wall. They forcibly ripped the mask off her face and violently threw it on the ground, this had to have been BT, and if BT was fronting, chances are Samuel was as well. So what the hell happened to Heinrich?

Whoever it was, they whispered salaciously, "I'm going to fuck you till it hurts you little slut."

Yugen trembled as his breath caressed her neck. She did indeed, enjoy playing rough—really, really rough. Her mental musings were silenced with a snap of her garter against her thigh, and a pair of lips smashed into hers. She grabbed at his shirt and clawed at his back; her skirt had been hiked up over her hips as he picked up one of her legs, and then he let out a gruff moan as he pressed his erection against her black silk panties. They ripped off her panties and then unzipped their pants, they slapped Yugen across the face and forced her to turn around.

Yugen let out a yelp as they shoved themselves inside her, "oh fuck!" She yelled ecstatically.

"Ooohhh you're so tight and wet." He said in a low, seductive growl.

None of them cared when they heard a group of girls walk out of the bathroom laughing, but they did hold Yugen's mouth as they pumped in and out of her. Not only did she enjoy it when it was rough, but she also enjoyed being risque. They turn her around and lift Yugen off her feet, then they fuck her against the wall. Yugen giggled when she climaxed, and then soon after the others finished inside her, satisfied from their raunchy excursion.

After Yugen had finished her third glass of champagne and conversed with several other inebriated folks, she and the others decided to leave. She used their shoulder for leverage while she held her heels in her other hand, and balanced herself on Kevin's body.

"You should probably let me drive, babe."

Yugen was too drunk to know who precisely was out, but she trusted them enough to give them her keys and carry her bag as they kept her from falling over. They propped her against the van and she rested against it as the world around her spun.

"Kaya Willow Cruz?" A man only a a few feet away left Yugen frozen in her tracks, she hadn't heard that name in a long time, and she hoped to never hear it again.

"I think you got the wrong person, man," Kevin, or whoever was out stated, getting worried as a couple of other men surrounded them.

"Yeah, I don't think so." One man behind Kevin said as another came up behind him and tased him, then began beating him while he convulsed on the ground.

The man close to Yugen ripped her mask off, and she vomited when the stranger shoved her to the ground. "Looks like someone had a little too much to drink."

"That'll make our jobs easier. Now get her in the van, stop wasting time!" One of the men exclaimed.

Yugen tried to get to her feet but was disoriented from the alcohol and the impact. One of her wrists had hit the pavement hard, and she swore that it was broken. All of her training was useless at that point, especially when she could barely stand on her own two feet. One of the men picked her up and threw her in the back of the van and darkness blanketed her consciousness.

Kevin's mind was in chaos as his body lay limply in the parking lot. Heinrich retreated from the light and everyone fought over what to do.

"Who the hell were those guys?!" Jade yelled.

Patricia sat silently in her chair, glancing at Dennis. Both recognized an opportune moment at hand. "I think the real question we should ask is—Who is Kaya?"

The room fell silent and Kevin cooed in the corner; Patricia stood from her chair as everyone looked at each other. None of them wanted to admit it, but it was a legitimate question. Patricia continued, "Barry, I hope that as the group leader, you will see reason and let Dennis have the light."

"No way!" Barry exclaimed.

Patricia scoffed at his pettiness, "You're willing to sacrifice Yugen for the sake of your pride? Or is it simply contempt? Barry, don't be a fool."

Barry exhaled sharply, knowing that she was right. The only person who could do anything in a situation such as this was Dennis. "Alright, Dennis, take the light and find Yugen—"

"I don't need you to tell me how to do my job." Dennis glared at Barry as he walked toward the light.

Yugen's eyes fluttered open. She could feel that the van wasn't rocking back and forth, which meant that it was parked. She felt the tight grip of two individuals holding her down and winced as she felt something being burned into her skin. She suddenly felt the pain in her left wrist, throbbing and burning from being out of place. Yugen gasped as consciousness began to bombard her and she could smell her burnt flesh. Yugen couldn't quite make out any of the men's features, for her vision was blurry. Although she was sobering up quickly, she was pretty sure she had a concussion. Her head was aching and she was sick to her stomach. A part of her hoped that she would throw up, because it may get these guys off of her. But despite her world spinning, her stomach would churn enough to make her upchuck. She hoped to find another way out.

"Well, look at that, she's awake." One man said. "You've made quite a life for yourself in Philly, haven't you Kaya?"

Another burn was seared into her right arm and Yugen hissed. The man didn't wait for an answer, "You really think you're better because you're not a fat, ugly bitch anymore?" the man who was speaking got closer to her face, "No, you're not better. You're just damaged goods, a drunk mutilated slut." he ran the tip of his finger up her inner thigh, "who's probably still wet from fucking your boyfriend in that filthy fucking bathroom." He inserted his finger into her, "and she is boys!" the man yelled out, and the others laughed with him.

"Get the fuck off of me!" Yugen hollered defiantly.

The man straddling her pulled out a knife and waved it in her face threateningly, "If you yell one more time, I'll fuck you with this until your fucking guts fall out of your gaping cunt."

Luckily for Yugen, not all of them were smart. "Didn't they say they needed her alive?"

She immediately fought harder, and they scolded the stupid one. "Dumbass! She didn't need to know that."

The man holding her broken wrist pushed down, causing Yugen to cry out in pain. "Shut up, or we'll break the other one!"

These men were vulgar and cruel, and bound to be merciless. She couldn't help but fight, because she was more scared of what would happen to her if she didn't. Her family was wealthy and powerful, they had a lot of connections. The things that they have done to people would make one's skin crawl, and she was lucky to have seen the bare minimum of it. However, she knew what her fate would entail if these men took her to her family, and that would be the end of the happy life that she had built.

After all these years, she hoped that they would've moved on. Yugen knew better, but a part of her hoped that the family wouldn't send these men after her. What they'd do, would be far worse than what these men could do. She managed to avoid the worst of it, but she had a feeling that things wouldn't be that way this time. The man on top of her slammed her head into the floor of the van a few times, causing her to slip in and out of consciousness. The last thing she saw before slipping into the darkness was the clanking sound of the man's belt.

Yugen's eyes shot open, her pupils were black and her face was void of emotion. The man's face above her was lost in a state of bliss as he used her body for his own gratification. The face that held arrogance and smugness was now twisting with agony. He clutched his shoulder as he struggled to breathe. The other men didn't let Yugen go, but they expressed concern for their fellow sadistic comrade. The other men began to bleed from their eyes, noses, and ears. They clutched their heads as their ears rang, and Yugen's rapist falls over dead. Suddenly, the door to the van is ripped off its hinges revealing a man in a green pancho.

David Dunn had been out late on one of his walks, and his son Joseph stayed up out of concern for his dad and one of his feelings. "Dad, why don't you just come home? It's getting late." Joseph says.

"Hang on, something looks suspicious," David stated, cautiously approaching the van parked in the alleyway.

Joseph sighs, "What is it?"

David didn't answer as he ripped the door off, noticing a woman curled up in the corner of the van with three dead men in front of her. She was beautiful and scantily clad, and her face was bloody and smeared with dark makeup. David assumed her to be a prostitute.

"Hey, it's ok. My name is David, I just wanna help." He said as gently as possible.

She appeared reluctant at first, but then asked, "Do you have a phone I can borrow?"

"Yes, you can call whoever you need."

David noticed as she struggled to crawl out of the van that her wrist was twisted and out of place, so he gently helped her out and what he saw he will never forget. He saw ritualistic sex and blood sacrifices, he saw her as a child sitting upon a throne and smeared with blood, he saw her as a child being force-fed to the point of obesity and slashing herself with razors. Then he saw the creature, a swirling chasm of energy with glowing eyes and sharp teeth. Then he saw the way it killed, or better yet made Yugen kill without even moving. The woman he had just saved was not just some woman, and he wondered if he knew about whatever was inside of her.
