Cora's Pov He walked up to me and smiled, waiting for me to follow him. I didn't want to follow him anymore.. He was a perverted human, one that used girls for money. I hated men like that! "What?" he asked me, "Is there something on my face?" Yes! Perverted ugliness! I didn't say anything to him. I stood there and turned away. If I had to choose between following a perverted human and dying in a disgusting house like this one, I'd choose to die here. I don't want to live with a perv that treats me like how he does to all the other girls. He got closer to me, held my arms and asked, "What's wrong?" I had no choice. If I let him know that I now know why he's so rich, I won't be able to escape.... "You left me here alone for a long time," I said to him, "where did you go?" Crap! I didn't mean to ask that..! He looked at me. "Why are you asking?" I looked away and coughed, acting casual. But, my acting skills weren't good enough... "Have you been asking about my life?" he asked, getting a little suspicious. I crumpled the small peice of paper that Scarlett had given me in my hand. Her number was on that small sheet. I didn't want Jayden to know that she told me about everything, so I held it tightly in my hand. "Who would want to ask about you?" I countered. "You're a nobody.." I walked out without saying anything else. I knew it was a stupid comeback, but who cares? As long as he didn't know. --------------------------------------------------- I opened the car door and got in quickly. I was too scared to even wait for him. When he got inside, he looked at me. I turned away and pretended to brush my bangs behind my ears. He reached over me again. I was about to smack his head with all my strength, but I didn't want him to get more suspicious. If he knew about me knowing about him, he probably won't let me escape.. "Why don't you ever to remember to put on your seatbelt?" he asked as he pulled the seatbelt across my chest. "Do you wanna go flying out the windshield one day?" In fact, I do. To get away from you, I do. I cleared my throat uncomfortably. His hands were way too close to my breasts. When I noticed that his hands weren't moving or buckling the seatbelt, I looked at him, ready for war. "Hmmm," he examined my breasts, "I wonder--" "Drive." I said flatly, moving my chest away from him. He laughed and buckled the seatbelt. --------------------------------------------------- He opened his house door and let me in first. Now, I was really scared. What was he planning? When I got inside, I was just about to cross the huge living room, but he grabbed me from behind and held me. I shrieked and he laughed. "I still think that kiss was hot." he said in my ear. I was speechless. I froze. Too scared to react. "Want to do it again?" he asked me as he kissed my neck. Still frozen... "This dress," he said softly, "looks so good on you... It shows your sides, which is good." He chuckled while I stood there, frozen and scared to death. But, I gained my senses back and pushed him off of me. I turned around and looked at him, putting my bangs behind my ears. I brushed the "dress" and walked into the bathroom. "Hey," he called out to me, stopping me from walking, "what are you planning to do for the rest of the night?" What kind of question was that?? I'm gonna go to bed after I change from this hideous dress! "Sleep." I answered, walking to the bathroom. I heard him chuckle behind me. He was way too scary... --------------------------------------------------- I came out in one of the pairs that I chose out. I came out wearing a dark sweater that had a check mark in the middle and dark jeans that spreaded out when it reached my feet. The shop lady that we bought it from told me that they were called "boot-cut jeans". Humans had really weird names... I reached into the sweater pocket and held Scarlett's number. I looked at Jayden, who was eating the apples I threw at him earlier. "U-Umm," I began, "c-can I use your telephone?" He turned around and looked at me and laughed. "You're so old fashioned." he laughed. "Nobody uses 'telephone' anymore." So what? Nobody means humans! I'm not a human! I scratched my head and tried to force out a casual laugh. He laughed again and threw me a small phone. "Sure, you can use my cellphone." he smiled and got up. First, I thought he was going to come my way, but he went down the hall. I heard a door close, so he's probably going to bed. I let out a sigh of relief and dialed the number on the paper. When I sat down on the sofa, someone picked up. "Hello?" that person answered. "Scarlett?" I replied with a question. "Hey, little one. How's it going?" "F-Fine..." "What do you need?" I took a deep breath. I wanted to know more about Jayden and the guys so I'll know what I'll be facing when I try to kill them all. "C-Can you tell me more?" I asked. I heard her chuckle on the other line. "Okay. Are you sure you want to know more? You'll freak out." she asked. I didn't care. As long as I knew. "I'm fine." I answered. "Well, when I was still 15, I was left on the side of the road. I was drunk that day..." -Flashback- Scarlett fell onto the sidewalk helplessly. She was so drunk that she couldn't even stand up. Suddenly, she was picked up by strong hands. When she looked at the guy, it was Vince. "Who are you?" he asked her, examining her. Scarlett just laughed. The alcohol was already dominating her. "What are you doing here on the side of the road like this?" he asked another question. Scarlett still didn't answer. She continued swinging around in Vince's arms. All of a sudden, she threw up. It was all the beer she had been drinking, and sadly, it all fell onto Vince's shirt. She thre up even more. He backed off and watched her fall onto the ground, still vomitting the beer out. He was about to leave her, but he didn't want to at the same time. When Scarlett was finally done throwing up, Vince was already done taking off his shirt. He didn't want to walk around with vomit all over his shirt. He picked vince up and walked with her slowly. -Flashback over- "The next day, I woke up in his house." Scarlett continued. "From that day on, I lived with Vince. He took care of me, and I eventually fell in love with him. And, I noticed that everynight, he'd leave... When I asked him where he goes to at night, he answered without hesitation. He told me that he went to a club and picked up girls. I knew what that meant. It meant that he'd make love with them.." I felt anger in me. A man-wh*re he was! "It hurt me a lot. I was so in love with Vince... Until I finally stopped loving him, that's when he started loving me. I really don't care anymore. I used to do everything for him. I gave him my virginity, I gave him my first kiss.. And now, Vince is trying to get me to love him. He still does about 10 girls everynight though. That's why I don't want to love him anymore. He still can't see that if he really wants my love, he'll have to stop doing other girls like it's nothing." She sighed. I felt so bad for her. "Why don't you just leave?" I asked her curiously. "I can't. He won't let me leave.." she told me. "I tried leaving many times.. But, he always finds me and brings me back.." We were both quiet for a while. "Anyway," she broke the silence, "Vince told me that each night, they'd do at least 10 to 12 girls. And they'd make at least 1,000 dollars from that. Each girl payed 100 dollars. I've been with Vince longer than how Jayden has been friends with him.. I've been living with Vince for 5 years now. Jayden has only been friends with him for 4 years. When Jayden first joined the sex thing, he didn't like it at first. And, I don't know what Vince did to him, but Jayden began liking it more and more." I was scared... Jayden was a maniac! "You said Jayden had a good heart..." I said to her, confused of why she even said it. "He does..." she answered. "Trust me, Cora. He does. It's just that Vince turned him like this. Jayden used to be a regular tough trouble maker at school. He used to get into huge fights in the neighborhoods, in school, at parks, everywhere. He'd sometimes come to school with bruises and cuts. Jayden wasn't afraid of anything at all... I know because since I began living with Vince, I was transferred to Vince's school, and Jayden was in it. I learned that Jayden hates annoying people. He hates nosy people, and he hates the ones who think they know everything.." She sighed. "Cora, Jayden is a man that won't back down. Whatever he wants, he'll get it. Whatever he hates, he'll kill it. Whatever he loves, he'll own it." I got even more scared. This crazy pervert had a scary personality. "I know Jayden. We've been friends for 3 years. He has never touched me because he respects me and I respect him. If you get to know his other side, he is completely a different person..." Tsk, yeah right. His other side? He doesn't even have one! He's 100% perverted! No other story to it! "All I have to say to you... is to not mess with him. Don't try his patience. He will do what he pleases if you anger him. Meaning, he will do anything he wants to you. Like I said before, he isn't afraid of anything. He never will be." "How long has he been doing this stuff..?" I asked. "Well, he's been doing it for almost 3 years now. But, about his personality, Vince told me he's been like that ever since he was small." she answered. I heard Vince's voice in the background. "Let's go to sleep." "No," Scarlett answered, sounding angry, "I don't want to sleep. You can go to sleep by yourself." "I need you next to me in order for me to sleep." Vince said. S carlett let out an angry sigh. He must've been holding her from behind or something, since his voice was now loud and clear. "I have to go, little one." she told me. "Good night. Don't get yourself in trouble with him okay? It'll be dangerous for you." "O-Okay.." was all I could say back. When the line clicked, I held the "cellphone" in my hand. Suddenly, Jayden popped up and jumped next to me. I flinched and scooted away. He got closer to me and pushed me down onto the sofa. I looked at him fearfully as he got closer to my lips. I was too afraid to push him off. It might anger him or something. When he was a few inches from my lips, he looked into my eyes and stopped getting closer. I felt relieved. "What's wrong?" he asked me, still looking into my eyes. "I can see plain fear in your eyes, and you're not fighting me like how you'd usually do." I didn't answer at all. My answer might anger him too. "Tell me," he said, now stroking my hair. "I-I'm... just still.. scared of those people.." I lied to him. He laughed and kissed my nose. Eeeek! Get away! "I'll let you sleep." he got off of me. "Come, follow me. I'll show you to your room." I slowly got up and followed him down the huge hallway. When he opened the door, there was a humongous room inside. The bed was larger than a car! I couldn't help but walk around with amazement. I looked at him and noticed he was laughing at me. I quickly feigned disinterest and stood straight. He walked over to me, and before I could scoot back, he kissed my lips. I flinched again. "You want me to sleep with you?" he smirked. I turned away flatly, not convinced. He kissed my neck softly one last time. He then smiled and walked out, closing the door. I wiped my lips and forgot about my fear. Oddly, I was able to fall asleep that night. Jayden's POV I could still feel her soft lips on mine. Her lips felt so good... I dropped myself onto my bed and was about to call Vince, but when I suddenly got curious to see who this odd, yet cute, Cora had in the world to call. I checked the Recent Calls and saw Scarlett's number on the screen. I quicky sat up. Was Scarlett talking to Cora? Did she tell Cora anything? I quickly pressed the Call button and put the phone to my ear. "What is it little one? Is that Jayden touching you already?" Scarlett asked I guess she didn't know it was me. "What?" I asked. Silence on the other line. "Scarlett, were you talking to Cora?" I asked her. Silence. "Scarlett." After a few seconds, she finally answered me. "Don't do anything to her, Jayden. I'm the one who told her everything, leave her alone, you hear me?" "What? You told her about me?" I was angry. "Jayden, don't get angry.. Don't do anything to Cora, I'm the one who decided to tell her--" I interrupted her angrily. "You wouldn't tell anybody about me if they didn't ask. I know you Scarlett. You would've never told her if she never asked... Did she ask you to tell her?" Silence again. I knew what that meant. I hung up the phone and walked out of my room. I stood in the hallway angrily, looking at Cora's door.
