************************************

I looked up at Raven, he was looking at me, and I then looked over at Crag. He looked confused and angry at the same time. Raven forced my head to look at him, "You do remember the question I asked you one week ago don't you?" he said "Or do I have to remind you?" an evil grin crossed his face. Before I could reply, he forced another kiss on me harder than the first one he gave me, bruising my lips once again. Crag wanted to say something to stop Raven, but the light haired guy just covered his mouth and shook his head no. Raven released me from his kiss; he licked his lips with satisfaction. Tears welled up in my eyes from the memory of that night, "Crag, is it? Did you know that one week ago today I asked this pretty little thing here to mine?" he asked turning to face Crag, who had stopped his attempt to get up.

"What do you mean you asked her to be yours?" Crag finally managed to ask after a pause. "It means what it sounds like." Raven simply stated as he turned us to face Crag, "And I have returned to get her answer!" he added with a grin. "So what do you say? Did you enjoy yourself that night? Because if you did there can be even more like it if you just say the magic word!" Raven said looking down at me. "What night are you talking about? What did you do to her Raven?" Crag yelled. Raven looked back up at Crag, "Silly boy don't you remember that night one month ago when this beautiful angel walked home alone late that one night? Well I do because that was the greatest night of my life when she and I were in the alley together!" Raven said grinning evilly.

I tried to tell Crag that he took advantage of me, but Raven put a finger over my mouth "Shhh you don't have to give him any details!" he said keeping his finger there. "You bastard!" Crag yelled throwing the two guys off of him then knocking them unconscious when they came at him again. Raven threw me off to the side as Crag came toward us. Crag stopped a foot away from Raven flames of rage was in his eyes. It was a showdown, neither one of them was moving or blinking.

They just stood there staring at each other, each waiting for the other to make the first move. Finally, Raven blinked and Crag made the first move by punching him in the jaw, Raven took a step back stunned at the attack then threw himself on Crag. They wrestled on the ground Crag managed to get on top of Raven; he picked him up by the shirt collar and hit him square in the face knocking Raven unconscious. He got up and looked at me. I got up and started walking towards him. "Go home!" he said his face expression not changing "What?" I asked thinking I had not heard him correctly, "You heard me! Go home and take your stupid boyfriend with you!" Crag snapped at me. I was taken aback how could he think that Raven was my boyfriend.

He started to walk off "Crag wait, let me explain!" I said walking after him, "What's to explain? You made out with him in the alley and now he wants you to be his girlfriend well go ahead!" he said stopping and turning his head towards me, tears rolled down my cheeks "Crying isn't going to change my mind!" he said turning back to the front. I walked up to him and put my head on his back, "I don't want anything to do with him, and he dragged me into the alley." I said crying even harder as the image popped into my head "He pi…" I didn't finish Crag started to walk away leaving me standing there alone. I fell to my knees and cried, "He isn't your type anyway!" a cold voice said putting his hands on my shoulders.

It was Raven, he slide his hands down my arms and onto my stomach. He pulled me into him, "Get off me Raven I don't love you!" I chocked out, "But I love you and that's all that matters to me!" he whispered reaching both of his hands under my shirt "No! Stop it Raven!" I yelled as I fought to get his hands out from under my shirt. "You can't win so give up and let me do with you as I please!" Raven said taking his hands from under my shirt then lifting me up. He started walking I tried to hit him in any way I could.

"Crag help me!" I yelled, he didn't come! Nobody did, so I stopped struggling, "That's it my angel of the night! Just let me take you away from this dreadful place!" Raven whispered. He took me to an old apartment building in the neighborhood where we first met. He quickly went up a few flights of stairs and headed to a room with the door slightly ajar, he carried me in there I could care less. The man I loved had just pushed me away, Raven laid me on the bed and I heard another door from behind open. I listened as I heard footsteps approach me, I stiffened and relaxed a little when I felt a pair of arms pull me into his lap. He began kissing me on the neck making his way up to my mouth. He kissed my mouth then around it begging to be let in, unwillingly I did, and I opened my mouth he kissed me on the lips, his tongue delved into my mouth touching everything he possibly could.

He broke the kiss and I slowly opened my eyes, and tears ran down my cheeks as I looked into his cold eyes, the eyes that could be warm, caring, and understanding. Raven stood up bringing me with him and pinned me against a wall.

He began to take off my shirt, "Don't!" I yelled grabbing his hands. He ignored me and fought with my hands to take off my shirt. The sun was setting so it was getting dark. He tossed my shirt somewhere to the floor and pressed his body against mine.

I couldn't help but think why I was letting Raven do this to me, then I remembered what Crag said, "You heard me! Go home and take your stupid boyfriend with you!" I let out a whine, an evil smile crossed Ravens face. He pressed harder against me, this time I let out a whine of pain and Raven pressed harder still into me. He nuzzled the crook of my neck gently nibbling it, my eyes shot opened and I screamed in pain as Raven bit my neck and he licked the wound of the blood seeping out of it. A new batch of tears threatened to fall as Raven cleaned the would that now marked me as his. He got off me and started to take my pants off. "Raven no! Stop right now!" I said slapping his hands. That was a bad mistake! He stopped trying to take my pants off and looked at me, he looked angry. I realized right then and there nobody tells Raven no! "So you wanna be rough do you? Well guess what missy I can be much rougher!"

He grabbed my hands and pressed his body really hard against mine trapping my hands between my body and his. He grinned evilly as he unbuttoned and unzipped my jeans. I couldn't move at all, "Doesn't this remind of when we first met? You struggling to get away as I played with your body and did with it as I pleased!" Raven said putting his hands in my jeans, he rubbed my legs before he moved them and grabbed my butt with both his hands. He pulled me into him grinning as he did so, "Raven stop! Just please stop!" I said crying. He didn't stop, he just pressed harder into me, and I let out a whine of pain. "I'm tired of playing with you!" Raven said rubbing my butt with his hands he leaned over and whispered, "I want to be inside you!" his words echoed in my ear. He began to pull my jeans down; and I fought him with every ounce of my strength. I heard him growl and I screamed again as another pain shot through my body as Raven sank his teeth into the mark he gave me earlier, he moved his mouth slightly in a circular motion in the wound. I screamed louder and gripped his shoulders digging my nails into his flesh drawling blood. He looked up and licked his lips and I heard a growl escape his throat again. Time slowed as my fist balled into a fist and made contact with his jaw.

He looked bewildered for half a second before his face showed anger, "So your going to make this difficult?" he snarled reaching into his jacket and pulling out a vile of pills. He opened the lid and took out two, he shoved them in my mouth and covered it with his hand and grabbed my nose with the other. "I'll let you breath again when you swallow the pills!" he hissed. I had no choice I swallowed, I could fill the pills go down my throat. He released his hands from my nose and mouth, I breathed in deep and started breathing normally again. Everything started turning around me and my vision started blurring. "Raven…" I said falling; he caught me and picked me up, "What the… hell did you….give me?" I asked. Nothing was clear anymore I couldn't tell which way was up or down, it felt like I was floating, but I wasn't.

"A little assurance my dear, just a little assurance! But I must warn you, it might make you a little……drowsy" Raven said it felt like he was walking but I couldn't make heads or tails which way he was going or if he was even moving! I felt something soft on my back; Raven must have set me down! It feels like the bed. I thought as I laid there. I saw a dark figure hover over me it took off my pants. "Raven…don't!" was all I managed to say. I felt his body lay on mine. "Don't worry my precious, it will all be over soon!" he whispered, I felt his hot breath on my ear. He got up suddenly and I heard another voice that I couldn't make out, I tried to sit up but my head swirled so I laid there not moving.

The noise stopped and a dark figure hovered over me again. I whimpered as a hand touched my cheek. I laid there not being able to move or see and I was about to be rapped, again, by a man I despised! "It's ok, don't be scared!" a familiar voice said gently sitting me up and wrapping something warm around me. He gently took arms and slid them each in, what I believe, a sleeve, then wrapped, what I think is a trench coat, tightly around me and gently picked me up with ease. I knew at the moment it was Crag by the way he held me. I didn't say anything I just rested my head against his chest, I could hear his heart beating and feel his chest move up and down as he breathed.

Things came a little into focus as he walked down the street. I looked up and saw Crag he was looking straight ahead. He looked down at me and, from what I could tell, smiled. He sat me down on a bench, sat next to me, and wrapped his hand around my shoulder. I looked at him as he watched the water; I bent my head down and started crying. Then to my surprise, he pulled me closer into him and placed my head on his shoulder. I didn't know why I was crying, but I was and it felt great.

He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and stroked my hair with his other hand. "I'm sorry Crag!" I finally managed to say, "No you shouldn't be sorry for anything! If anything I should be the one apologizing to you!" he said still stroking my hair. I was shocked by his answer. He let out a sigh, "I should've believed you in the first place and not listened to that Raven guy!" I shuddered as Crag said his name, he held me closer.

I looked up at him; he was looking at me and smiling. He pushed hair that was in my face behind my ear, I leaned up and kissed him on the cheek, "I love you!" I whispered as I lifted myself up and sat down on his lap. The left shoulder of the jacket slide off my shoulder as I sat there, Crag took in a short breath as he saw Raven's mark, he looked up at me and smiled slightly and pulled it back on and kissed me. I returned his kiss; he picked me up as he stood up and carried me the rest of the way to my house. I opened the door with my key and we walked in shutting the door and locking it behind us.

He turned around embracing me in his strong arms and kissing me; he picked me up and headed to my bedroom. He gently laid me on the bed, the jacket still tightly wrapped around me, showing him my every curve. He left the bedroom and went into the kitchen, he opened up the fridge and looked into containers, and he finally took out some left over chicken. He warmed it up in the microwave and came back in the room. "Hey Kath…" Crag stopped short, he set the plate of chicken on the dresser and went over to the bed, and he smiled as he covered me up with the sheets.

*****************************************

I woke up to the sun shining in my eyes. I blinked a few times trying to let my eyes adjust to the light. I started to sit up but decided against it when my brain did a back flip (A/n: in other words, she's still dizzy from the drugs). "Hey sleeping beauty your finally up." A voice said from the door. I lazily looked over and smiled as I saw Crag lean against the doorway (A/n: yes, they are a couple now in case you're not sure.). "What time is it?" I asked, "Almost time for the trial. We gotta eat, get dressed and leave in about an hour, making the time of day 12:30." He said. I sighed and slowly got up, I smiled but I knew Crag saw the brief flicker of fear in my eyes, "Lets get to it." I said confidently, but on the inside it was more of, I'MGOINGTODIEI'MGOINGTODIEI'MGOINGTODIE. The next thirty minutes was spent making and eati…well I'm not sure if eating should be used. Having not shopped for food in…ever we had to improvise on the making of our `pancakes'.

We both looked at our `food' and then at each other, "You try it!" we said together, "Why me?" Crag asked, "Because you're the…the…" I couldn't think of anything. "Well you know the saying `ladies first'." He said, "But… I cooked it so it's only far you get the first bite." I said triumphantly thinking I had him. He looked thoughtful for a moment before he looked at me again, "technically I cooked them you just made…the…Katy I think it just moved." He said (A/n: O__oU, I actually had that happened once it was really creepy. I failed my cooking finals cause of it. I suck at cooking my parents won't let me near the kitchen unless one of them is in there.) I looked down at the plate between us and sure enough, the few that we made were…wiggling. "Let's get breakfast on the way to the courthouse." I said inching away from the thing trying to make its way towards me. After we disposed of the aliens that took over our food, we stopped and picked up something at McDonalds.

We made it to the courthouse at 1:15. after arguing with Mrs. Shaman about what to wear, her wanting me to wear a dress and me wanting to wear pants had compromised and I ended up wearing a dark blue dress with red and white roses, that went down to my thigh and some nice jeans with shoes. I couldn't believe this was finally happening. We meet Crag's parents outside the room and they each gave me a reassuring hugs. I took a deep breath and we went inside, there were a lot of people there I didn't know and I froze somewhat as all there gazes turned to me. Crag grabbed my hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze; I looked up at him and smiled. He bent down, "Remember I'll be right behind you the whole time." He whispered. I took a deep breath and walked up to the front. The guard let me in and I sat down next to the lawyer that Mr. Shaman had hired for me. I chanced a glance behind me and sure enough, Crag was right behind me.

I froze as a back door opened and who else but my father appeared, and to my relief in handcuffs and being police escorted to his seat. "All rise for the Honorable Judge Hampton residing." (A/n: I have no clue about many legal terms, which is shocking since I want to be a lawyer, so the trial will go by pretty fast much to my distaste since this is a big important scene.) The judge sat down and motioned for everyone to do the same. "So what we have here is a charge of child abuse, child neglect, sexual assault on two accounts, and attempted murder in the first degree. Is that correct?" the judge said looking over to the prosecutor. The women stood up, she had brown hair pulled into a tight bun, a gray business suit, and hazel eyes. "Yes, your honor those are the charges my client has filed." She said and gave a sideways glare to the man in the handcuffs.

"And do you have anything say against these charges brought upon your client?" the judge said turning to the defense attorney. The man in a black suit, black haired-slicked back, and brown eyes stood, "Yes, we have come to the conclusion that, Kathryn is….mentally unstable and cannot think straight at times. thus endangering herself and others around her. We intend to prove that these acts were self-inflected and the incident in the kitchen with the butcher knife was an attempted suicide. In which the father walked in tried to get the knife away from his daughter, lost his balance and so on and so forth." The man said sitting down in his seat. Kathryn sat there shocked tremendously at the lie that man had just pulled out of his ass. "Now prosecutor, it's your witness." The judge said. The women stood and walked around to the front of the table and sat on the edge of it, "I call my client, Kathryn, as my first witness." She said, I took a deep breath and made my way to the witness stand. "Place your left hand on the bible and hold up your right hand," said the bailey, I did so. "Do you swear to tell the whole truth, the known truth and nothing but the truth so help you god?" I gave a soft `I do' and sat down.

"Now Kathryn, do you remember the first time your parents left you alone?" she asked, I shook my head, "Can you tell how old you were?" I sighed, "I was about seven or eight, and in second grade at the time." I heard people gasp and mumble things, which soon quieted down when she asked her next question. "Had your father ever assaulted you in any way, shape, or form at that age?" she asked. "No." I replied. "So how would describe your life at home? Happy, sad…" she left it off for me to finish. "When I was young sure I was happy I was a naïve child what else would I be? Then when I was left alone in second grade that changed. I became withdrawn, angry, confused and you know I was probably the only second grader who knew how to steal, but don't worry I paid what I stole when I got the money. Then as I got older I became frightened because he started drinking." I said lowering my head, "And by he you mean your father?" it was more of a statement than a question.

I nodded my head. "No further questions your honor." The women said sitting down. "Do you wish to cross examine the witness?" the judge asked, the smug man stood up and slowly made his way around the table. "Kathryn, tell me how many times have you've been suspended from school from starting fights?" the man asked and I knew I hated him, "Zero." I said with a slight smirk. His eyes furrowed, "I am afraid that school reports say different, you've been suspended a total of three times." He said, my eyes narrowed and he flinched a little but quickly recovered. "No, I believe first off that my personal school files are private and our considered invalid to the point of this case. Right your honor?" I said looking at him. He shook his head he began to speak but I talked first, "Secondly you asked how many times I've been suspended for starting fights, I've never started any, I just finished them." I said smiling smugly at him.

"Ok we shall take that question off the record, and Mr. Barley I will not warn you again next time you dig up illegal things I will not allow you to work in this proximity." The judge said, Mr. Barley mumbled something inaudible and continued. "Now you claim your father, quote, un-quote, abused you. How so?" he asked, at this point the guy was really pissing me off, "Well usually when you get abused it has to do with someone hitting you." I said sarcastically, he narrowed his eyes. "I am quite aware of that. So will you please clarify what he did?" I could tell I was pissing him off, perfect I thought. "Well it didn't happen often but when it did, he had been out all night getting drunk and not sleeping." I replied. I looked over at my dad and I could see he was angry and was giving me a look that said `if I get out of here you're so dead' I cowered back a little. "Now tell us what did you do to provoke your father the night he allegedly tried to murder you." He asked. (A/n: no idea what allegedly means but it sounded good.)

I crossed my arms and looked thoughtful for a second. "I came out of my room my dad asked me where I've been, I answered, he was drunk at the time and well him and mom cornered me at the kitchen table, bada-bing, bada-boom, police came and well the rest was on the news." I said smugly, I looked at Mr. Barley, B-I-N-G-O I thought as I saw him muttering a few choice words under his breath.
