Darkness.

It's a peaceful but scary thing if you think about it. Sleep, night, death. All of those things are dark. But there's always a hint of light coming through. There's always a chance.

Light.

My hands were bound and I was dropped on something. It felt like a couch or a bed. I stayed there, waiting for someone. A minute or so later the door opened and someone walked in. My blind fold was ripped off. I squinted at the sudden exposure. Dana was standing in front of me. "Who are you?" He asked. I stayed silent. "What is your name? Where are you from? Which king is your father?" He asked. "My father is not a king." I said. "And I'm supposed to believe that." He said. "Yeah." I said. "I don't get it. Dalton doesn't take in strays." Dana said, running his fingers through his curly hair. "LUKE! GET IN HERE!" Dana yelled. The door opened and a really tall guy came in. "Hey Dana." He said. This Luke guy was hot. Slightly muscular, slightly tan.

GEEZE What is it with me and seeing cute guys lately. As soon as I gain freedom I'm boy crazy!

"Take her to my extra room." Dana said. Luke came over and picked me up bridal style. "Wow, she is so small and doesn't weigh anything." Luke said. I kicked him. "She's got spirit too." He added, smirking at me. "Do what you want with her, I don't care." Dana said, opening a journal. "Just don't hurt her." He added. Luke and I left and went down to another level. "So you aren't gonna try and run?" Luke asked. "Nope. It's no use. Just twice in one day." I said. I leaned in closer to him. "Okay, this is your room. You have a roommate right now... Sorry about that.... And Dana will send some clothes down soon." Luke said, setting me down. I looked around the room. There were a few windows, and a big bed. I saw a bathroom and a closet. There was also a desk in the corner, stocked with paper, pens, pencils, paint, and lots of little knickknacks. I felt Luke come next to me. "What did Dana mean when he said Do what you want with her?" I asked. "He means-" Luke said before he put his lips on mine and picked me up so we could be face level. I tried to push him away but it didn't work.

I tried saying something but it just came as some noise. Luke put one hand on the back of my neck. I panicked and started to hit his shoulders.

He lightly bit my lip and the door slammed open. "PUT HER DOWN!" Dalton yelled. Luke jumped and dropped me. Angrily, he turned around and looked at Dalton. "It's none of your business." Luke seethed. "Yes it is. She's MINE." Dalton roared, coming at Luke. They fell to the floor and I rolled out of the way. Dalton got a few hits in before Luke got away from him I ran towards the door but Luke grabbed my shoulders and shoved me back in the room. "OW!" I yelled. Dalton shoved Luke into the wall. "DON'T TOUCH HER" He yelled.

I didn't move to get up from the floor when people came in the room. I didn't resist when Dana came in and picked me up. I screamed when they picked up a bleeding Dalton and took him out of the room. I didn't flinch when Luke started yelling. When the light shattered I didn't cower. Everyone left the room. Dana laid me on the bed and stayed with me.

"Did he hurt you?" He asked softly, looking me over. I rolled my shoulder and Dana looked at it. "I can't see it correctly because of your dress..." Dana said. I sighed and unzipped the back of it. Pulling off the sleeves, I stepped out of the dress. I still had my bikini on so I didn't mind. I'm pretty sure Dana was getting uncomfortable though...

I laid back down on my stomach. Dana tentatively came over me and knelt by my side. He touched my shoulder and I seethed. "It's swollen but not broken..." He said. "You feel really tense..." He added. He started running my back. Dana shifted so he was stratling me. "What are you doing?" I asked. "Giving you a massage." Dana replied. "Thanks...." I whispered.

Soon I fell asleep. I don't know what Dana did, but this sleep was needed.
