"Please don't, I cant tell you. I have a family, please don't kill me." He cried out.

"Sorry man, it's the rules..." I forced the knife along his neck and caused blood to waterfall down his throat. The life in his eyes slowly disappeared.

"Good job son." My dad walked into the torture room.

"I knew the pathetic man had no intention of telling us anyways."

"So why did we capture him, just to kill him?"

"Yes. Don't get soft on me now boy." Threatened my father.

"Wasn't planning on it." A big smirk spread across my face.

People tend to call me all kinds of names like "heartless", "evil", "devil" but I ended up killing all of them anyways so the statement is irrelevant in my mind. Oops.

After I left the torture room, I decided to take a walk down Greendale St. Thats where most women are captured and placed on the market.

I guess it was so popular because of the stores that surrounded it.

"What's up Tony!!" I said as I walked into my favorite bar. "Look.. it's my favorite customer!!" The smile on his face was so bright that it sickened me, but Tony was the closest thing I had to a friend.

"Your too kind brotha. I'll get the usual."

"Coming right up." His Italian accent was very thick.

While I waited, I couldn't help but look around the brick walled bar. That when my eyes landed on my twin sister sucking faces with some random girl.

I walked over to them and pried them apart. "Oh hi Thomas." A sensual smile played across her face. "We agreed that nobody will be picked up in the bar." I reminded her. I came here a bunch and was familiar with most of the regulars, they were cool people and I don't want them being brought into the business.

"Oh chill out, Brother. Nothing is going on." She said, then she continued to make out with a stranger. I rolled my eyes and walked back to the bar, typical Violet. I'm surprised she hasn't gotten an STD. I can't talk though, I've slept with a fuck ton of women.

But none quite compare to the one I saw my little brother bring home. She was breath taking... the blonde in her hair shined gold and her smile could be seen across the room.

I wanted to get to know her, I have to.

I'm grateful to have a friend good as Carter

I'm grateful to have a friend good as Carter. I still remember when we were on the playground in kindergarten and a ginger haired boy pushed me off the swing. Carter came over and shoved him. Even as a child, he was still so protective.

"Have a good day Char." He kissed my forehead and dropped me off to class.

I walked into class and sat down. Ames looked at me like he wanted to say something. He hesitated but then spoke, "So is that your boyfriend?"

I continued to ignore him. "You can't ignore me forever." He said. His fingers were rapidly tapping on the desk.

Actually I can, and I plan to.

Loud sirens went off causing me to shake. It's a fire drill, I breathed out in relief.

The class lined up and walked perfectly down the hallway. That was until someone grabbed me and pulled me into the janitors closet.

"What the hell!!" I yelled, but a hand soon covered my mouth.

The dirty blonde haired boy was right in front of me, holding my mouth shut.

The familiar contact of someone's hand around my mouth made my knees go weak. I fell onto the ground with a heavy bang.

"Shit, I'm sorry." Ames tried pulling me up but I flinched away.

When my two feet finally hit the ground, Ames spoke again. "Charlie please don't ignore me, I can't take it." His hand barely caressed my face but I unknowingly pulled away again.

"See..." he looked feeling into my blue eyes. "Why do you do that?"

"Do what?" I coughed, trying to sound normal. "Flinch away from me." I didn't speak.

"Is it because of..."

"Please drop it." I interrupted him.

"No, your in trouble... I can't just let whoever it is keep hurting you. I wouldn't be able to live with myself." He stepped forward, causing me to step back.

No words came out of my mouth once again.

"I want to touch you," he took another step forward, I took another one back. "Let me comfort you."

The look on his face was beyond sad, it almost looked like disappointment. Which made my body immediately ache because I was causing him to feel like this.

"I'm not going to hurt you." He spoke softly.

I don't know why, but in that moment I believed him.

He took another step forward, but instead of backing up, I stayed still. Relief flooded his face.

"You can trust me," Ames said before gently placing one of his arms behind my head, and his other arm around my back.

His smell engulfed me and I couldn't help but wrap my arms around his waist in return.

He gently swayed his body while his fingers tangled into my hair.

The fire alarm turned off and my body finally relaxed.

"Please don't ignore me again...."

At this point, all of the good reasons I had about ignoring him completely flew out the window.

In his arms I felt safe.

In his arms I felt safe
