STELLAS POV

My whole back hurts,my head hurts so bad. I open my eyes wishing I was dead. Dry blood clung to my arms,and face. I struggled to get up,but realized that my wrists,and ankle's were tied up. Uh oh no! I was in the attic, I shiver it was really cold up here. I try to move around but its useless. Coughing,a rag was tied around my mouth.

"The princess is up! "Someone yelled. It was Dine, James comes running up the stairs,where the door should've been bolted shut. They hid me up here,and the their drugs, when the police came to check on them. James pulls his nine inch,it curved at the sharp end. I recognized that knife-tears burned my eyes, he killed my mom with that. He smirks in my face remebering the memory too. He loved taunting me about that night,I cry out I blamed myself for it.

"Remember your mom?"he says,playing with the knife.

I snarled at him "you killed her! "

He turns toward me pulling the rag off of my mouth,"you don't talk to your dad like that!"

I seethe in rage "you wish you were my real dad! "He growls at me,slapping me hard,I fall against the dusty,cold floor.

" She loved it when I made her moan,but she was often bad-so I had to give her punishment ".

I roll my eyes "you deserved it,"I mumble. James grabs the knife and puts it on my neck,it was really sharp,"course it was your fault it happened! " He laughs,and tears fall down. I could never forgive myself for her trying to help me,and keep me safe." Oh d don't. Worry baby daddy will help comfort you! "He puts his hands on my thighs sliding the further up.

I cough up blood and spit in his face,"I hate you! "I scream out. He gets mad wiping the blood from his face,he punches me and I try to fight back.

Though I was tied up "weak! "He snaps and kicks me one more time. They slam the door,hearing the bolts slide,sound proof room. I sob when would I ever get out of here?

I had the nightmare again,I hated it everything felt so real again. Like she was actually there,"mom! "I screeched

Except I couldn't reach her,she had pulled James off of me. Bleeding,she fought against him. But I knew she was no match for him-he laughed evily.

"Stella look! Look what you made your mother do! "James said.I screamed in pain aloud as I saw her struggle,and tried to jump in

"Mom! "I yelled. As james repeatly punched her,then stabbed her. On my bed I watched her die, "I'm sorry baby, "she said,those were her last words.

I wake up screaming,and crying sweat going down my back. It was just a dream I sob into the floor trying hard not to breathe the musty floor. No sounds downstairs,and no windows up here. It was freezing cold,a punishment,I shiver. Not bothering to wipe my face,or the dried blood. I rock back and forth,till I hear a thud,bitter laughter downstairs. Hearing more laughter,as I could tell they were dragging something up the stairs." Aahh! " one of them screamed,"hollywood punched me! "I realized it was Steven the biggest out of all of them. And what was he talking about? I heard loud pop of bones crunching,I shudder at the sound. The bolts slide revealing, Steven,Dine,and Dave. They were all to busy to notice me staring,dragging a kicking punching body. He was so muscular,with a ripped shirt. And bloody,bruises dripping down his back and,face. I gasp as I get a good look at his face ... It was Kane Everdale, and he was glaring straight at me.

KANE'S POV

Me and,Kelly decided to go to the movies. My arms still around her,just getting out my red Lamborghini. Our clothes were all rumpled, from just making out.

Everybody is staring at me "hey Kane! "Some of them said. I nod at the people I knew,I was really popular at Corrie acadamey. But it was summer time,and everybody was on break. It was getting dark,but not late to me. We enter the Movie theater,getting tickets for The Hunger Games. I pull Kelly through the crowd,as she spotted people she didn't like, she would push them. I couldn't help but do the same, anyways alot of people moved when they saw me. We get seats in the back,and start making out.

Moaning loudly,I had to go to the bathroom." Be right back,babe, " I say getting out of my seat. I head for the bathroom's which were suprisely empty,I felt like someone was in there watching me. I turn, when I hear footsteps. Bam! One of them punched me in the head,and I fight back.

"Dumbass! Don't you know who I am? "I yell. There was 3 big grown man,I punch one of them in the face. And groan out when his face connects with my stomache, knocking the air put of me. I feel something cold, like metal on my throat

"Shut the **** up! "The biggest guy snapped. I looked down it was a gun,something was tied around my mouth, a rag. Another tied over my eyes blinding me,as they dragged me outside to I think a car.

"Did you get caught? "One of them snapped. They threw me in the car my face connected with the floor.

"No,drive!

""My dad is so gonna sue you bastards! "I manage to say they chuckle.

" Shutup! "

And I feel someone kick my side, it hurt like shit! "Were going be rich! "They all say. At that moment I cursed my parent's,if they weren't always away. And cared more about me,and Megan none of this would've happened! Oh **** them,these guys were going to pay! We stop somewhere,

"get up! "They snap. I don't, and I feel a blow "get up! "They say once again. This time I do as they half drag me,bumping my head on steps. I hear a door snap open,cold bolts coming loose,as they throw me in. The blind fold,and rag come off. It was so dark in here,and the room smelled terrible! Trying to get up they shove me hard. Until I recognize one of the faces James Barr,the freaks,druggies. And I look around in the pitch black,seeing a figure,and there was his daughter I glare at her. Hating all of them,they were going to regret this.

STELLA'S POV

I was freaking out big time! They kidnapped Kane Everdale! I coughed the musty air was horrible. I could barely see anything in the pitch, black room, but I know what I could see Kane's electric blue eyes. They bore into me as they sent daggers at me. Blood was dripping from his shirt and face everywhere. And I was almost scared when James slammed the bolts shut, as Kane struggled against them. For once they forgot about me. For once.

" You! " he snapped. "You and your father and stupid friends are going to regret this! "I glare back at him when he said James was my father.

"He's not my father, don't ever say that, " I was getting pissed. He stood up and I knew it pained him to do it.

He growled "does it matter! Your still as rachet and poor as him! "A big smirk was coming on his face. It was pissing me off, now this was one person I didn't have to respect.

" Leave me alone... I didn't have anything to do with this," my voice falters at the end. I shivered, bringing the fabric I had left on me closer to me.

" Shut the **** up! "He growls moving to the big bolted door. He tries to kick it down," I hate you,your so worthless I should make you pay! "I saw the same anger he had, had just like James and that scared me. I pull my knee's to my stomache going to my pity corner,I grope the darkness for something. And I thought he was hott. And I was just lucky he didn't hit me. I cried to myself softly,I was never going to be safe.

KANE POV

I dreamed I was fighting with Megan. Seeing her blond hair again,seeing my Lamborghini, mansion,hot girlfriends. But I woke up to nothing, but that.

" GET UP," someone shoved there foot hard on my stomache. I bring my eyes to open, feeling the left one swollen. But all I still saw was darkness,I felt like I could barely feel my body. As the cold smelly air dripped in,I get up quickley I was going to escape. Harsh chuckling filled the room, as I was thrown back down.

My rib cage felt like it exploded "having fun Everdale? " They were taunting me,"Stella hurry your *** up now! " one of them yelled. A lamp was shown and you could see clearly now. The room itself was dusty,spider webs everywhere dried blood. The smell was horrorfying. Stell walked in and I could see her now,dressed like a hooker. Their was no happiness in her eyes,but in reality she was really pretty. I remeber my hatred I had no pity for her or anybody.

" Did you take the pill? "One of them asked harshly.

She nodded,"clean the poor rich kid up! " they move out the room again leaving something on the floor. Locking the door,

"what the **** is this! "I cry out this was no food. I throw the plate full of mush, or whatever across the room. The plate made a loud banging noise as it smacked the ground. Stell jumped at the sound, to scared to get close by me. In the lamp light you could see she was very pale,bruises lined her body. As she neared me, she had a dirtied rag.

I moved away from her," stop moving! Does it look like I want to clean your cuts," she snapped. She leaned in,and I took the opportunity to spit in her face.

"Get away from me slut! Does it look like I take orders from someone like you? " She flung the rag at my head,and flicked me off.

" Ok rich boy," she said going to her corner.

"Ungrateful *****," I mumered.

MEGAN'S POV

Kane Everdale has been missing for three days. He went to the movies, with his girlfriend Kelly Marshall. And was said he went to the bathroom and never returned. We may think he is kidnapped,but everybody,especially the Everdales are worried. We have no more information. But we hope we can find,Kane. Ray Everdale has promised a 1,000 award for whoever finds his son.

I drop the stupid article on the floor. Kane was gone. My brother was gone. I felt really lonely now, without him the mansion was to quiet. Mom, and dad only stayed for a day,hearing that we couldn't find Kane again,they took off. I sigh, only he knew how I felt about them leaving us all the time, because he felt it too. And Kelly didn't give a shit about him, she was to busy fucking other guys. I check my phone for messages,none.

"Megan do you want cocoa?" Marlene ask,one of the maids. I knew they were trying to comfort me,but we all knew it should've been my parents doing it.

"Yes," I called out sinking into the couch. I was still a bit pissed at Kane for what he did. But I hope for the best. I made myself fall asleep,because everybody was going to be bugging me with questions tomorrow.

STELLA'S POV

I cry out,as James slapped me upside my head.

"Can't you do anything right! " he snarled kicking me with his foot. I slowly got off the floor my backside hurt and I clean up the "mess " I supposely did. I drop the dishes in the sink. What was the point of cleaning if everything still looked the same? A long time ago I thought somebody was going to come save me. Fat lie, that was never going to happen. Steven came into the kitchen and I leer away from him disgusted. Didn't they already give me alot of scars and bruises?

"Oh Stella whats wrong? What did Stevie do to you? " he said tauntily.

I was not in the mood, "shut the **** up! You big fat perv." I screeched I hardly ever was scared of them.

"What did you say stupid girl? " he asked grabbing me by the hair. I twist away from him painfully and before he could get a punch in. Police sirens everywhere close by there house in the forest.

Stunned Steven let go of me " get her in the attic! And hide the beer,and drugs! " Steven yelled pointing at me. "Now! " I saw my opptunity for the door, but Dave quickly caught me. I screamed throwing punches as he dragged me upstairs.

"Shutup," he spat he clamped me hard in the mouth. And threw me in the attus floor where he slammed the wall over the door. Blood dripped from my mouth, I wanted freedom. Then I realize these were for Kane they must be looking for him.

"Whats-" he started but then his voice faltered.

I shake my head," there looking for you, " I managed to say before I pass out.

Ever felt the way you wish you could die ? because I wish I could. When I did wake up,I sadly notice that there were no cops. And still Kane.

Kane glared up at me, as I finally moved. "Fucken horr, whish I was never here! " He kicked and punched at the wall. Then turned to me and snickered "your so pale and ugly thats why they hide you up here." The words cut into me -he was doing the same thing everybody else did.

Guarding my eyes hiding the pain. "They keep you up here because your an effin man *****! "I spat. It was a smart aleck thing to say,but I was tired of everybody.

"Scuse me bitch? Or bum at least I can get a girl, " Kane got closer to me. And I could see evil, or nkno shame in his eyes. I stand up, even though I was no where near his height. I look down and snicker when I see he still had his priceless nikes on. I put my hands on my hips lifting my head up.

"What are you looking at? Bitch you wish you has shoes like this," Kane says glaring. He shoves me hard, and the impact sends me flying. I crash into the wall hearing a painful boom.

My arm was already bruised, I manage to stand up, due to my past. "Your no better then them, " and I slump on the ground.

KANE POV

"

The door slam open. And I get up quickly for the door, Steven whose name I learn, grabbed my arm shoving me.

"Its time," he says snickering. He drags me down the steps,and I punch him. But that doesn't make him lose his grip,he juat shoves me harder. I feel like I'm goign to vomit as I take in the air. Beer bottles,glass trash,and other things we strewn all over the floor. Steven lets go and I run for the door,bolts all over it. Wicked laughter fills the room

"you cant escape! Go the doors open! " I run for the door and stop short when I felt a cold metal on my throat. A gun. They drag me to a chair tying me down,

James pulls out a camera. "Smile for your famliy! "James squeals.

"Shut the **** up cunt! " I snarled. "Your just a hater, you cheapass rachet punk! "

Jame's laugh fill the room "you see Kane your just me like, though your a dumass Stell over there has never made it far without us hunting her down. " I look at Stella who is cleaning, and shuddererd. "Now were going to show your rich daddy how much money we want, " and thats when the punches came. They hurt, I could barely feel my bones as they cracked. And I howled in pain,I soon knock out.

I woke up back in the dark room. My whole body ached,and I could barely feel anything. My left eye felt swollen. And then I realize why I woke up was because someone was crying. It was Stella. She was sobbing really hard, I crawl to her she was still asleep. It look like she was having a nightmare because she was screaming no. Then I remeber what James said she didn't get far. My anger burned wasn't he her father? And why did he let him and everybody else beat on her and rape her. And why did I care? I pull Stella's body close to mine she was freezing. She later calmed down in my arms I fell asleep too.

- Halfway through the night she woke up screaming.
