HT: Chapter 6

Content Warning: Some very graphic things happen in this chapter. Even though most of these things do NOT end up happening (spoilers)... If you are uncomfortable about any of these topics (abuse, sexual assault, non-con, drowning), I suggest you tread cautiously with this chapter. These things are NEVER okay. Period.

'Double D, you freaking idiot! Why did you listen to that dumb message? You already KNEW it wasn't me that sent it!'

Eddy's mind was in a panic as he ran as fast as his feet could take him to the construction site. Once he arrived at the entrance, he could see Double D's shoulder bag, which she usually had with her lying on the ground, along with a metal pipe close to it. Eddy's heart sunk into his stomach as he ran over to the shoulder bag, quickly looking around to see if he could see any signs of her at all.

He looked toward the woods nearby, only to see something that caught his immediate attention. Eddy could see the black headband Double D usually wore like a ribbon around her head to hide her scar; it was stuck on a branch of one of the trees like the ribbon had gotten snagged to it as she was dragged away in that direction.

"Evan…" Eddy growled in anger, clenching his fists before he dashed off toward the direction of the lake and leaving behind her black ribbon to help the police know they had gone in the direction of the lake.

He knew they would be there! He had to help her!

A few minutes ago, Double D felt herself coming back to her senses from what happened; she felt very cold for some reason. Her eyes fluttered open as she tried to put her hand to her forehead, only to realize something horrifying; it was why she felt so cold. Her hands were bound behind her back with a thick rope that had two heavy weights on them, making it hard for her to lift her arms if she tried, but then she saw all her clothes had been ripped off her body and torn to shreds! She was completely nude underneath a thin blanket that covered her!

"Finally decided to wake up from your beauty sleep, huh?" Double D turned to see Evan sitting close to the edge of the lake that she was also next to; he had taken her here! Thankfully, Evan still had all his clothes on, meaning he had done nothing with her yet… But she did not know how long that would last.

"Y-You! Why did you bring me here? What are you planning to do with me?!" Double D yelled to Evan, trying her best not to show him she was scared.

Evan chuckled at her question, "I thought it was obvious what I wanted, Eddea…"

He sat up from where he was before walking over to Double D, leaning over her to pin her down to the ground, "You're Pipsqueak's friend from back then, aren't you? You've changed so much; even your body is better than I could have ever imagined it to be!"

Double D widened her eyes in terror as she struggled to let herself free from where he was pinning her down, "D-Don't you DARE touch me! I-I'll—"

"You'll what now? Scream for help?" Evan asked as he laughed, "Like anyone's gonna help you! You're just an object!"

Evan reached into his back pocket to take out a condom that was still in its wrapper, "Even Pipsqueak agrees with me! I found a box full of these in his room earlier!"

Double D gasped at what Evan had in his hand, turning pale at the mere thought of her being used like this for someone else's pleasure, "T-That's a lie! I don't believe you!" she shouted back, trying to hold back her tears.

Evan cracked a sinister smile, seeing that what he said struck a nerve with the girl, "It's true though! You just gotta accept he only wants your body! He doesn't care about you! That's what all guys yearn for…"

Evan began to stand back up to take off his pants first; Double D could see he had an erection growing under his boxers.

"Now, then, I plan on finishing this game I've been playing with Pipsqueak," Evan started to say, "My game with him is ALL about me ruining his life in any way I can! Sorry to say, but it's gotta be this way, Eddea! YOU are a part of our game now!"

Double D started to burst out into tears as Evan took off his boxers, showing how hard he was for what he was about to do, "S-STOP THIS MADNESS, PLEASE!" she screamed at him as he pinned her back down to stay still on her ground. Evan slowly began to reach out and grab the blanket off Double D's body, getting ready for what he was going to do. Time seemed to stop for the next few seconds for Double D; she was scared out of her mind, closing her eyes and whimpering in sadness and fright, trying to brace herself for whatever was going to happen next.

"EVAN, YOU BASTARD!"

A familiar voice roared nearby. Evan widened his eyes in shock as he turned to see Eddy was here, running to him with a pissed off look on his face.

"GET YOUR FUCKING HANDS OFF HER!" Eddy screamed to his brother.

Evan narrowed his eyes at this turn of events, stopping what he was planning to do with a growl; his erection went flaccid. Evan turned Double D over to grab her bound wrists, lifting her slightly so Eddy could see her. This made Eddy come to a halt at the sight of her, becoming slightly flustered because she was completely nude; he was not prepared to see her like that.

"You should take a good look at your girlfriend, Pipsqueak!" Evan began to say to his brother before making a sinister smile once more, "I think she's prepared to go skinny dipping!"

That was when Evan took Double D and threw her into the deepest part of the lake nearby. She yelped as she hit the water before she started to struggle, trying to swim with her bound hands and wrists as best as she could, but was sinking because of the two heavy weights that were stuck to her wrists.

"E-EDDY! PLEASE HELP ME!" Double D cried out as she tried to keep her head above the water, but it was a useless effort, she finally began to sink.

"DOUBLE D!" Eddy cried as he went over to the edge of the lake to try and save her, but was now caught in Evan's grasp, "LET GO OF ME, YOU ASSHOLE!" Eddy screamed to his brother as he tried to squirm his way out of Evan's clutches.

"No can do, Pipsqueak!" Evan replied, "You just ruined our game! You know what happens when you break the rules, don't you?"

"I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR RULES OR YOUR FUCKING GAME!" Eddy continued to scream to him, "SHE'S GOING TO FREAKING DROWN! I-I—"

That was when Evan slammed Eddy's body to the ground, pinning him down with Evan over him, his right foot was on Eddy's back, "Letting her die IS your punishment for breaking the rules, little bro!" Evan cackled.

Eddy tried his best to get up from where he was pinned, struggling more and more. He knew as each second passed, Double D was slowly losing her strength and breath as she tried to get out of her binds under the lake water. She was drowning, and there was nothing he could do! All he could do was keep struggling as his brother continued to laugh at both him and his girlfriend, 'Double D…!'

Suddenly, Eddy could hear Evan's laugh being cut short before feeling that Evan's foot had lifted off his back. He saw him fall to the ground next to him along with the metal pipe from before at the construction site; he was knocked out from a blow to the head!

"Eddy!" cried out a familiar voice to him. Eddy could feel himself being picked up into one of Ed's trademark bear hugs; he was the one who hit Evan with the pipe, "You're okay! I'm so happy!" he sobbed.

Eddy could see that Ed was not alone; there were a few policemen and paramedics here with him at the scene. He also noticed that Ed brought Double D's shoulder bag as well. Ed sat Eddy back down on his feet before asking the obvious, "Where's Double D?"

Eddy turned back to the lake, only to see Double D could no longer be seen; her body had sunk further into the lake. Before Ed could ask anything else, Eddy ran past him, taking off his shoes and his shirt before jumping into the lake and swimming to where Double D was thrown in by Evan. He dived into the water, only to see Double D was still there; her body was slowly floating down to the bottom. He could that she was no longer trying to free herself and her eyes were only halfway open. Eddy swam to Double D's body, grabbing her by her wrists while trying to pull her back up with him, but not before untying the heavy binds she had around her hands.

Once they emerged from the lake, Eddy gasped for air as he held onto Double D tightly; he could not properly swim back with her like this, but he had no other choice; he had to try, "ED! Help me out here! PLEASE!" Eddy called out to his friend.

Ed gasped at the sight, turning to the paramedics and policeman with him, "EDDY AND DOUBLE D NEED HELP!"

While everyone was preparing to help them, Eddy tried his best to swim closer to the shore of the lake so the others could reach them better. Thankfully, they were not that far into the lake, but it would still be a rough swim back. Eddy could feel how cold and limp Double D's body was along with the look in her partially open eyes; her usual bright green eyes now looked darker, as if the light in them was gone. This was not a good sign and it scared Eddy to death at the thought of her dying like this. It was about a minute later that Eddy finally reached dry land again with Double D. The paramedics were quickly by their side, using the blanket that was there to cover her body when they noticed the state she was in.

Eddy quickly climbed out of the lake and onto the shore, trembling from what he had to do to get to Double D. His breath was shaky before he fell to his knees and felt himself being picked up once again by Ed, who was still sobbing from what happened.

Once Ed let Eddy out of his hug, the two of them could see a few of the paramedics over Double D, who was currently lying on the ground with the blanket over her body, but not over her head; it looked like she was not breathing, and her skin was ghostly pale… Her best friends now feared the worst had happened, that she was dead.

"… S-She's still alive!" stated one of the paramedics there before turning to the others with him, "We need to do CPR to help her! Quickly!"

Ed and Eddy gasped at what the paramedic said as they could see two of the paramedics next to her doing CPR to save Double D's life, trying to help her breathe once more. The two Eds could only stand by in nervousness as they waited on what would happen next.

Eddy's heart was about to sink into his chest at each passing second; Double D was not responding to the paramedics' CPR efforts, "C-C'mon, you gotta make it!" Eddy stuttered to himself, "Please, Double D…!"

Suddenly, Double D began to cough very loudly as the water finally exited her lungs, gasping even more before stopping, she had passed out after coughing up the water she ingested.

"Oh, thank heavens," sighed one of the paramedics, "She's going to be okay!"

Both Ed and Eddy's eyes began to tear up once they heard them say she was okay, "I-I can't believe it…" Eddy stuttered, trying to regain his composure.

Eddy then turned to Evan, who was still knocked out on the ground from the hit Ed did to his head, he was now in handcuffs despite being knocked out thanks to the police that were there. Eddy felt his hand curl up into a fist as he walked over to his brother, also noticing his pants and boxers were still off him, leaving him exposed on the ground. He could only glare at Evan, the anger he held inside him this whole time was growing more and more… But Eddy held back, not punching or kicking his brother while he was down, even though he really wanted to punch him. He knew his older brother would get what was coming to him now that he was finally being arrested; there was no need to care about Evan or his dumb game anymore.

"I'm the winner now, and your game's finally over, asshole," Eddy growled before turning away from him, walking back over to Ed and Double D to check on them. Eddy took Double D's cell phone out of her shoulder bag, using it to call both their parents to tell them what happened.

Author's Note (July 10th, 2024): HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOY. Like I said at the start of the chapter, NONE of this is okay. But now it's over.

Oh, by the way, I consider anyone 16 years old or younger to be WAY too young to have sex, consent or not. I know it varies by country and such (it even varies by US states sometimes), but that's what I think in general. Because Double D and Eddy are 17 in this story, they are not underage. I wanted to make that very clear to everyone.
