I'm woken up to the slam of a car door. I jolt awake, looking around. I must have fallen asleep on the drive back from the hospital. I look into the back seat to see Veronica sitting there, looking scared. I turn back and see that Micheal is dragging Theo to the house. I turn back to Veronica, grabbing her hand.

"Veronica. It's gonna be ok. We are all gonna protect you. You just have to stay strong. Ok?" She nods, fear still bright in her eyes. I turn back and see Micheal heading back out the door.

"Veronica. Don't try and fight him. Just let him take you downstairs. Ok?" She nods quickly, her breathing starting to get more rapid. He opens Veronica's door and grabs her arm.

"Peach. Get out of the car. Follow me inside." I unbuckle my seatbelt and get out of the car, stumbling slightly. I hear the car door slam and I start walking towards the door. I get there and I wait for Micheal to catch up with me. He gets to me and pushes me out of the way, opening up the door. He drags Veronica inside and I follow, closing the door behind me. He walks us to the basement and he throws Veronica down the stairs. She squeals, hitting the floor hard. I quickly run down and squat beside her, looking her over. She has a couple of cuts and bruises, but besides that she looks fine. I suddenly feel someone grab my hair and I scream, pain surging through my scalp. I am brought over to the bed and thrown onto it, quickly getting chained down. I just lay there, too nervous for what is to come. Micheal goes over and drags Veronica over to Theo. He chains her to the ground beside Theo, who is looking pissed. I look over at Jack. He is looking around in shock, like he just woke up. After Micheal finishes chaining Veronica to the ground he starts walking over to me. I quickly tense up and try and move away from him, but he chained my ankles and wrists so I can't really move. He chuckles, sitting on the edge of my bed.

"I really enjoyed carving my name into you. But I think that we should put it somewhere else. Like on your chest. So that you will always be mine." I start shaking, fear taking over me. He laughs and stands up, heading towards the door. He goes up the stairs and opens the door, stepping out of the basement momentarily. I look over to Veronica and Theo, who are looking at me in shock.

"He already carved his name into you?" Veronica is crying by now, looking at me in fear. I nod, tears starting to blur my vision.

"On my back. But it wasn't too bad. At least I had Jack here." Veronica nods, turning her head away from me. I turn to Jack, who is looking at me in fear.

"Jack. Are you ok? Did he hurt you?" He nods, looking down.

"He shocked me at one point. But it wasn't bad. It was over really quickly." I nod, locking eyes with him.

"I smacked the remote away from him. So that he couldn't keep shocking you. I got smacked for it, but it's ok. At least you weren't too badly hurt." Suddenly the door opens again and we all go quiet. Micheal walks down the stairs, humming to himself. He is holding the same knife from before, except for now it is clean of any blood. I shudder, closing my eyes. I hear footsteps coming closer to me and suddenly I feel a weight on top of me. I open my eyes to see Micheal on top of me, holding the knife above him. He lowers the knife, using it to cut open my shirt, leaving me in only my bra. I try to curl in on myself, not wanting to be exposed around him. He smiles, cutting my bra off of me. Now my boobs are completely visible. I close my eyes, not wanting to see the smile on his face. I feel the tip of the knife on my cheek and I instantly open my eyes, looking at him. He smiles, moving the knife away.
