Logan's POV
Imagine my surprise when Mercury asked me to go with her to a formal event. I was completely angered when why she was invited in the first place. She somehow calmed me down but I mentally promised myself that I was going to chew Kimberly out when I found her. Then again Mercury looked so happy while she was flipping through the magazine earlier she showed me one particular picture that I forgot was taken. It showed me and her with our faces pressed together with a smile on our faces. She had such a fire in her eye that I couldn't help but smile at the memory. That's when I knew. I was in love with Mercury Nightingale.
"Here let me help you." Mercury said as she found me struggling with a tie. She placed her handover it putting her fingers to work. I looked at her work with a wanting look on my face.
She locked eyes with me as she slid the knot up to my neck. She turned her eyes away letting her hand slide down my tie.I placed her hand on her chin tilting her face to me bringing her closer. I saw the fire in her eyes dancing a smile tugging at her lips. I gently pressed my lips to hers and she instantly kissed me back. She wrapped her hands in my hair deepening our kiss. I stopped moving my lips and pulled away. Worry filled her eyes. "Did I do something wrong?" She asked a hint of regret crossing her face.
"No. You did everything right. That's why I love you."
She smiled wrapping her arms around my neck bringing me into her. Then the bedroom door flew open, "Ew! Can you guys please do that after the party." Kimberly's voice said coming from behind us. Mercury quickly pulled away burying her face into my side. I groaned, "You just have perfect timing." She laughed.
"Come on love birds let's get going." She pulled Mercury out of my arms leaving them lifeless. I was going to kill her for that.
***Mercury stuck close to my side through the party until Kimberly can't back to us. "Mercury there are some highly known business women that what to speak with us. She looked up at me until I nodded kissing her softly on her lips. Before letting Kimberly drag her away.
I made my way to the food bar where all these little cheeses stood on to of each other like a pyramid. I rolled my eyes at them. "You were never a fan of cheese." A familiar voice said bringing me to look at Chastity. She smiled devilishly at me. My mouth searched for words.
"Surprise." She did jazz hands before placing her hand on my cheek looking deep into my eyes. What the fuck was she doing here? How'd she know I was here. "I've missed you." She said leaning in.
I gripped her wrist snatching her hand off of my cheek. "What are you doing here." I said taking a few steps back and glaring at her. She looked at me stunned at my actions, "Isn't it obvious? I can't for you." She reached her hand out again which I quickly leaned away. "Whats wrong."
"I can't believe you just asked that after all you did."
"What we did."
"No that is a lie!" I argued my body fuming. "No we did it together. You did the most important part."
"That was an accident!"
"No it wasn't. You did it for us. I loved you to much to see you taken away from me. Just like you love me."
"I don't love you. I love Mercury. Now you just stay the fuck away from me." I turned away from her. I glanced out of the e corner of my eye to see her stomp away. It was an accident.
I soon began talking to a group of men who included me in their sport related interview. It was surprisingly interesting. "Logan! Logan!" I turned and saw Kimberly.
"I can't find Mercury!" She said freaking out. Running her hand roughly through her hair. My eyes filled with shock and worry. "You what!" I took off running to the front of the building. "Mercury!" Mercury, please baby!" I shouted only stopping when a sharp object pierced my neck. I turned around quickly as my eyelids got heavy. Matthew stood smiling. "Nighty night Logan." My vision faded leading to darkness.

Mercury's POVKimberly dragged me to a group of women who smiled at me. "So, this is the warrior princess we've been hearing so much about." She smiled shaking my hands. I blushed instantly. "You look completely healed. So what do you think about being a model?" She asked smiling at me.
My heart dropped but it's leave quickened. "No thank you, I'm not good enough." I said smiling weakly. I heard Kimberly gasp next to me. "If you weren't we wouldn't be asking you."
"I-" a tray came crashing into my chest making everyone gasp. I was completely drenched, wine stains covered my dress. Embarrassment washed over me like a title wave. "I need to go to the bathroom. Excuse me." I said turning away.
"I'll come with you." Kimberly said. I shook my head, "No...uh...I'll only be a minute." I walked into the restroom looking at myself in the mirror. My hair hung in little strings and my white dressed turned a sickening red. Tears sprang in my eyes.
"Ugh. I can't believe Lola wanted you." A disgusted feminine voice came from behind me. I saw a tall beautiful blonde. "I'm sorry but who are you? And how do you know Logan?" I asked in confusion. She gave me a smirk, "I'm his girlfriend."
"Logan doesn't have a girlfriend. I'm his girlfriend." I said. Atleast I thought I was.
"Think again sweetheart. Logan. Loves. Me!"she pushed me against the bathroom mirror and my vision slowly faded as she stared down at me a smile on her face.
" That's what you get you filthy bitch. "

I slowly opened my eyes to find I was in a dimly lit room. The walls were a depressing grey and it smelled of mildew and must. It made me scrunch up my nose. I tried to sit up but found I was chained to the floor as my body laid on a dingy matress. I began to scream,"Logan! Please let me go! What do you want! I'll do anything. " tears burned my eyes as they spilt over my cheeks. I just wanted to go home.
"Shhhh don't cry."
My head snapped to a far corner where a figure sat in a chair. "What do you want from me?" I asked my voice sounding weak and cracked. I licked my dry lips before swallowing down the fear as it builded up in my throat chocking me. He slowly rose from his seat making me tense, "It's simple what I want," he had a mask covering his face. He kneeled next to the mattress twirling my hair in between his fingers before pulling my hair making me cry out. "You." He removed the mask off his face.
"Matthew!"
