Nico di Angelo, Flowers of Death

Chapter 21

-Ambers POV-

(A/n: sexual content implied, read till end I promise it's not that bad)

Wind ripped through the night, flapping the ends of my jean jacket. The moons light reflected off of the small puddles that formed on the gravel. Swings and slides empty with no cheer from children.

A green field to my left with a wooded area in its corner. I sat on a rusty park bench. The crisp wood was damp from the late night mist. I saw a shadow flicker i make my way towards it, slowly.

Each step I took echoed across the ground, it's noise soon followed by an approaching person. Out of the shadows of an oak tree steps a boy my age.

His cinnamon curled hair flipping in the wind. Blue eyes soon fixed on my hazel, making a smile creep to my face. The boy whore a blue hoodie and jeans. He smiled sweetly at me before I ran into hug him.

His arms wrapped around my back and sent warm throughout my body. His hands gently cupped my checks as he looked into my eyes, he kissed my forehead. Electricity spread threw me and I smiled up at him. It wasn't a romantic kiss but a brotherly one.

"Duncan oh god it's been so long" I whisper before throwing him into another hug. He gladly abides.

" It's ok Amber, they won't find us here" his sweet voice echoes in my mind.

We walk over to the swing set and sit there. The creaking of my swing breaks the silence of the night. It might have been an hour after midnight. We stayed there for a long time.

I heard a scrapping of feet on the ground. Seven or eight people approaching from the right. Grasping Duncan's hand in mine I drag him towards a wooded part of the park.

But as I enter I am greeted by another person waiting for us.

" not your smartest move letting me lead you out of view." A menacing voice hisses in my ear. Two people grabbed me from behind. Each one on either side.

The trees in the park created a block, nobody could see us. Very little light shine threw and the boy who I had run into stepped out of the shadows.

" I see you still haven't learned" he hissed at me again. I realize Duncan is no longer with me I couldn't even see him. Then I hear a loud smack, someone punched someone.

I saw two older boys holding my arms. One was looking over to the distance. They where each tall and lean. As fast as lightning I bring my elbow up to the guy who was distracted, and hit him in the nose.

His grip on me stops and I kick the other guy in the gut. He bends forward, I grab his head and smash it into my up coming knee. Both boys lay knocked out on the dirt.

I feel cold hands grasp me from behind. They whip me around and pin me to a tree with there body. Then there hands are on my neck, not choking me, but ready to if they have to. I look at the person who has pinned me. His sea green eyes look back at me.

"Such a pretty girl shouldn't have to fight" he hissed into my ear. I try to wriggle free but his waist was pushing against mine and I couldn't move. Grabbing my wrists he throws them above my head and uses his forearm to pin them on the tree.

With his other hand he tilts my chin so I have to look at him. I open my mouth to scream but before I could even let out a peep his lips crashed into mine. His tongue exploring my mouth.

I was frozen in place. My brain couldn't process what was happening. I started squirming to get away. As he backs up for air I open my mouth to scream again. But a cold metal is placed on my neck. A pocket knife.

"I wouldn't if I was you" he says. Then he leans in again harshly kissing me. It wasn't passionate or loving, I wanted to run. But I couldn't, I was stuck.

I try to knee him, but to no avail. He stops the kiss long enough for air. Then moves down to my neck. Harshly sucking, leaving a large bruise to remember him by. But I didn't want to remember. I just wanted to get away. Tears start falling down my face. I choke back sobs.

His hand that isn't pinning my arms slides down to my pants. I try even harder to get away. He starts fumbling with my button to my jeans.

"Stop" I say sternly I try to get my arms out of his grasp but I couldn't move. Then there is a sharp pain on my neck. Cool blood drips from a cut he had formed.

"Keep your mouth shut and stop moving" he sneers into my ear. Again be crashes his lips onto mine. He tugs at my jeans and they slide off. He moves his hand up to my back and works his way towards me.

I close my eyes tight and wait for the unavoidable. I knew what kind of a pervert he was. Tears stream down my face. His cold hands slowly trace my hips and I look away.

Then his weight is lifted off me, I open my eyes just in time to see Duncan punch Logan in the jaw. He falls to the ground.

A bruised and bloody Duncan walks over to me, I pull up my pants. He smiles but I see the pain in his eyes. I collapse in his arms. He picks me up bridal style.

I don't remember the trip to his house but I do remember sitting in his lap and crying, soaking his shirt. He stroked my hair.

"It's ok Amber I will always be here to protect you" he whispers into my ear.

That was the very first time it happened. The first time logan touched me, the first of many.
