I woke up a few hours later and I knew exactly where I was. Once again I was chained up in a basement of some creepy house. I was angry and scared, mostly angry though, for letting Chris get to my friends and I. I could sense someone else was in here with me, I could hear breathing but it didn't sound well.

I decided to get Chris' attention. "Chris! You fucking asshole! Let me go!" I screamed.

It didn't take long before the door to the basement opened, the kitchen light shining down into the dark basement. Sets of footsteps walked down the stairs and the basement light flipped on. I looked over at the girl who was also down here. She was pretty much close to Death. I turned away from her, looking at the wall.

"Did you call?" Chris asked. I could hear the smirk in his voice.

"I hate you." I said, still not looking at him.

"Aw, Kerstin, don't talk to me like that. You're mine, remember?" Chris said, kicking me slightly with his foot.

"Whose the girl?" I asked, looking up at him.

"A snack for Angelo and Ryan." Chris said.

I looked away from him, disgusted. Chris knelt down in front of me and turned my face towards him. I refused to look him in the eyes. "Look at me." he hissed.

"What do you want?" I snapped.

Chris smacked me. "Don't use that tone with me." he said.

"You have no right to treat me the way you are right now, Christopher." I said.

He growled at me and then unchained me. I stood up and walked past him, going upstairs. I ignored Balz and Ryan and walked through the living room, sitting down on the couch. Chris joined me a few minutes later and stood in front of me.

"You don't know how long I've waited to have you back." he said.

"I'm not yours. I'm Devin's." I said.

"You have been mine since I first saw you. You do not belong to Devin." Chris said.

"Don't tell me who I belong too. I hate you, can't you see that?" I said.

Chris smacked me again and I hissed in pain as his long fingernails scratched into my flesh. I held my face, feeling the hot blood coat my fingers. Chris sat down beside me, turninig my body towards him.

"I'm sorry. I just...I can't believe you're talking to me like this.." Chris said.

"I don't want anything to do with you..just leave me alone.." I said, pulling away from him and getting up.

I walked upstairs, going into the room that had my name on it. It was between Chris' room and Devin's room. If these two were going to fight over me like Chris and Ricky did, I was going to kill myself. I closed the door behind myself and walked over to the bed, laying down.

It wasn't long before I fell asleep. I woke up a while later when I felt someone's arms around me. I turned over, expecting to see Chris but it was Devin. I curled into him and he began rubbing my back. I tried not to cry but I couldn't help it.

"Are you crying?" Devin asked.

"Yes.." I said, looking up at him.

"Don't cry, love." he said, wiping my tears away.

"I can't help it..I didn't want Chris to get to you or Angelo or Ryan or Josh and he did..and I feel like it's my fault." I said.

"No, it's not your fault...it was bound to happen..please don't cry." he said, wiping my tears away as they fell from my eyes.

I pulled myself up into a sitting position and Devin copied me. He wrapped his arms around me as I sat there. He kissed my shoulder as we sat there. "Why is Chris doing this again?" I asked.

"I'm not sure but I know he wants our baby." Devin said.

"Why? It's ours." I said, moving closer to him.

"I don't know...but I won't let him take you or the baby from me. He'll have to kill me before he does." Devin said.

"Will you stay with me tonight? I don't want to be alone." I said.

"Of course." Devin said.

~.~.~

I woke up the next morning and Devin was gone. I wasn't surprised by that at all. I figured he was in his own room. I grabbed some clean clothes, somehow all of mine had made their way into the dresser and closet in my new room, and walked out of my room, going across the to the bathroom.

I closed the door and then locked it for good measure. I placed my clean clothes on the counter and then turned on the shower, letting the steam fill up the room as I undressed. I got in the shower and let the hot water wash over me.

I washed my hair and my body and then turned off the water, grabbing the towel and wrapping it around myself. I got out of the shower and began drying off before getting dressed in my clean clothes. When I opened the door, Ryan was standing there.

"I figured you were in there." he said.

"Move." I said.

"Oooh someone's fiesty." Ryan said.

I glared at him and then walked past him and went to my room, throwing my dirty clothes into the hamper. Ryan followed me. "Chris needs to speak with you."

"Chris can fuck off." I said.

Ryan laughed. "Should I tell him that?"

I glared at him before pushing him out of my room and walking downstairs. Chris was standing in front of the couch, obviously waiting for me. I walked over and sat down on the couch, looking up at him. "What?" I asked.

"Did you have a nice sleep?" Chris asked.

"Yes." I said.

"I noticed Devin was in your room."

"Devin is allowed to be there because he is my fiance." I said.

Chris growled. "He is not your fiance. You belong to me."

"No I don't." I said.

Chris growled and went to slap me again but Devin caught his hand. I smirked and Chris turned to face Devin. "Devin, this does not concern you." he hissed.

"It does if you raise a hand to my fiance." Devin said.

Chris laughed. "You two are not together. Kerstin is mine."

"Yes we are." I said.

Chris glared at me before turning back to Devin. "Leave."

"No." Devin said.

Chris looked at us. "You two may think you are together but you're not. When you have that baby, Kerstin, it will become mine." he said.

"You're not stealing my baby, Chris." I said.

"Oh I will." Chris said.

"Fuck you." I said.

Chris chuckled. "That can be arranged." he said, winking at me.

Devin growled at him and then took my hand and pulled me upstairs. I went into Devin's room with him and he shut his door. I walked over to the bed and laid down, Devin got in bed next to me and curled into me. "I will protect you from him." he whispered. I stayed close to him and eventually fell asleep.
