Dark Secrets

Chapter 3

When I woke up the next morning the first thing I did was to look at the clock, 12pm. I didn't bother to go to school. I didn't want to. So I got up and walked down without getting on any more clothes than the top and my panties that I slept in. I was sure to regret that because as I stepped into the kitchen I saw someone sitting at the table. I've only seen him twice but I recognized his black messy hair right away. "What the hell are you doing in my house? And how did you get in?" my voice was steady for once and I felt strong. He turned his head and smirked. Why did he always smirk? "Your mom let me in" he just said casually. I snorted and said "Because she wants to fuck you" he frowned in disgust. Then his eyes focused on me again and it was pretty obvious that he was checking me out. That's when I remembered what I was wearing, which was not much. He saw the worry in my eyes and said "I don't mind you being half naked" I can't believe he just said that. I just rolled my eyes and went upstairs to get on some more clothes.

I was sadly surprised to find all my sweatpants in a pile on the floor. I didn't care what I wore, but I did care if what I wore was dirty or clean. I went over to my closet to look for something. I found a pair of dark blue jeans. I never wore jeans and this was going to be really weird. I pulled the jeans on only to find out they were really tight. I didn’t know what to do now. I should tell him to leave. Tell him to go away. What if he didn't want to go? I could beat him up, no he's too strong. Without noticing I started to wander back and forth. "Planning an escape?" I spun around only to find him leaned up against the doorframe. "No… I'm planning how to get rid of you" I snapped back. When did I become so honest? He put one of his hands on his chest pretending to be hurt by what I said "Ouch… you don't like my company?" I shook my head and answered "No. I don't know you, and you're in my house, and-" I stopped for a few seconds realizing he was checking me out again "Stop checking me out!" He looked up and met my eyes, smirking "You dressed up for me" my mouth went into the shape of an O "Did not!" "Did too!" he shot back. When I didn't answer he said "You never wear jeans" okay, this dude was seriously starting to creep me out. I stared at him for a while. He did look good… his toned body, his messy hair, his cheekbones, the way he wore that leather jacket…what the hell!? Stop! He's creepy and I don't know him. I realized that I had again started to wander back and forth. I turned to him and said "What's your name?" he seemed to be surprised by the question. "You don't know who I am?" I frowned. Why would I know who he was? What had he done? "What have you done?" why voice sounded accusing. "Why do you think I've done something?" he took a step forward. I realized he was talking his way out of the first question so I asked him again "What's your name?" he looked to the floor smiling and then he looked up again, meeting my eyes.

"Adams, Caine Adams" he stared at me for a while before asking "Something familiar about that name babe?" he was definitely trying to scare me and to be honest he was doing a great job because I was scared. "First, don't call me that. Second, yes actually…" I paused for a while remembering the night before. The man who 'attacked' me was calling a man Adams. What if it was the same…? "Was it you?" I asked him. My voice almost cracked at the end. This guy that I was so scared of…did he save me? Why was he there in the first place? He looked at me confused. "Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about Caine!" I was starting to get really annoyed by his behavior. He smiled and said "I like the way you say my name" he took a few steps closer and now we we're standing so close that I could touch him "I have no idea what you're talking about and that Is actually the truth" he laughed a little at the end and it made me wonder if it was so hard to believe he was telling the truth for once.

I turned around and walked over to my bed and sat down on the edge. Caine followed and sat down beside me. Caine… pretty name to be honest. The name suited him well. What am I doing? He looked at me concerned before he said "Did something happen?" why would he even care? I just shook my head. I didn't want to tell him anything. I know his name, but I don't know him.  "What are you even doing at my house?" I said realizing once again that he was in my house. He looked away, smiling again. This time I noticed a dimple. I'm so weak for dimples. "I didn't see you at school and thought you might be at home" he said still smiling at the floor. I got to get him out of this house. "Well, thanks for your concern, you can go now" I felt rude chasing him off, but he was scaring the crap out of me and I needed him out…now! He stood up and pointed at my bandage "You should clean that up. You'll get an infection" and then he just walked out of my room and hopefully out of the house.  I just sat there, staring at the door he just walked out of. I was brought back to reality as I heard a door slam. I stood up and walked over to the door, just peeked my head out. "Hello?" I shouted, not really expecting an answer. I had to check if it was Caine. A little part of me wished for him to come back, but a bigger part of me said he was dangerous. I heard footstep in the stairs, at the end of the hallway. "Hello?" I tried a little quieter. To my big surprise Kent's face appeared at the end of the hallway. He walked towards me.

"Kathrine…" he said still walking towards me. There was something about the way he said it that made my heart race, and not in the good way. "Where is Kate?" I said trying to remain calm and not show him how afraid I was right now. I don't know why. Kent has been a part of this family for almost a year and has been the only one that cared about me. He just smiled. His smile wasn't the usual friendly smile. It was a sly smile. "She's at work and won't be back for another two hours". He smiled even bigger. I wanted to shout something at him, but my mouth wouldn't move. He was at my door now. We stood on each side of the doorsill. He put a hand on my cheek. I wanted to run, but my feet wouldn't move. He took a step closer making me take a step backwards. We continued to do this until I hit the edge of my bed and couldn't walk any further back. I could feel my body start to shake. He put the other hand on my waist and finally my body reacted to my brain signals and I slapped his hand away. He looked at me with the eyes a mom would give her child if it had done something wrong. "I know you want to" He said and put both of his hands on each side of my waist and forcibly pushed me down on the bed. He was still standing while I was lying on the bed. As he tried to lie down on top of me I tried to kick or hit him, but he was to strong. He held my hands down over my head and sat on my legs. He was heavy and it hurt. I tried to wriggle out of his grip, but he held me down. He bowed down and whispered in my ears "Feisty… I like it" his lips brushed my ears as he spoke and that was it. I used the last of my energy and I managed to get one knee free. I hit him in the crotch with my knee and he fell to the side holding on his crotch. "Bitch!" he shouted after me as I ran down the stairs and outside.

I just ran and ran. I had no shoes on and sometimes when I hit a rock I had to stop for a second, but then I started to run again. I could feel my breathing get heavy and the sweat run down my face and neck. When I after a while couldn't run anymore I stopped and looked around. I was at the park. I was 3 kilometers from home. Wow… I should start running more often. I lay down on the nearest bench. I was so out of energy. I had nothing left. It was cold outside, but right now I didn't care. After a little while I fell asleep.

"Kat! Kat! You need to wake up… you'll die!" I heard a manly voice shout. It was a familiar voice, but I couldn't tell who it was. My body didn't want to move. So the man shouting at me lifted me up and carried me bridal style. I didn't know where he was taking me and I was too weak to fight back. Suddenly all my thoughts disappeared. They just left and it didn't take long before everything went black.
