Blood Town

Chapter 2

It was a long drive. So long it made my eyes hurt from exhaustion, I didn't sleep last night.  Especially after what he did to me.....

*Flashback*

I headed to the Staff Room at the back of the pub, I can't wait to finish my shift!

The bar was empty, as empty as a cemetery. And I was pleased, I had made friends and received tips today.

Today was a good day, or so I thought...

"Mr Beck.."

He was sitting in his chair again, the throne he called it. He was as skinny as a rake and he had spikes of his hair sticking up, well I say hair he was basically bald. 

He stunk of alcohol and mold.  He made my skin crawl...

"What!" He sneered at me. His teeth as dirty as mud.

"I've finished my shift."

"You are one selfish disgusting girl aren't you.." his tone made me shake. He was skinny and tall but I had already witnessed how strong he was.

"I'm sorry I really am, I should of said thank y-you."

"Don't you dare play innocent with ME!!" I felt a sharp pain to my cheek it was burning so bad I was trying not to cry.

"Please don't hurt me. I need to go home and see my sister.."

He stared at me with his dark eyes, so dark they were nearly black.

"You aren't going home.."

"Aaargh!!" He dragged me from my hair further into his room. I kicked and screamed but no help came.

"Sit down!!"

He paced the room as I sat in his grubby chair. He seemed different. Don't get me wrong normally he's horrible but never as bad as this.

"What do you want from me!" I cried, he looked at me with a sneer and a dirty glance.

"You don't understand Ember... you work here. I own this and I own you..."

"No s-sir you don-

"Yes I do!" He pinned me against the wall, I was frozen. I couldn't move nor did I dare.

He stroked my face " I own this. . " He through his hand on my head..

He moved his hands down my body making me feel sick and dirty. He started stroking my inner thighs until he got to my private area "and I own this! I own every sin-

"LER GO OF HER! NOW!"

I opened my eyes but I couldn't see anything it was too blury from my tears.

I turned my head to see Mr Beck backing away from me. I looked over and I saw her. 

Her black raven like hair and her ice blue eyes, she was an angel I was sure of it. Maybe I was dreaming, maybe this was a way my brain saying 'he's got you, you can't escape.  Think of a better ending before you go...'.

"You alright? Come stand behind me" she smiled sweetly, as I walked over I didn't see it at first but now I did.....

A shiny black gun... "No! Don't kill him."

She laughed then looked back at Mr Dread who was shaking.

"HE deserves it..."

I put my hand over hers which clasped the gun "yes but YOU don't deserve to be punished for it. Let him die at the hands of someone else. Please?" She nodded and we finally left.

*End of Flashback*

I felt like I was floating....

I wasn't sure where I was but I knew I was alone....

"I own this and every part of your body!!!" I could hear those words over and over again.

"Aaagh" I jolted up, I must of being dreaming. Hmm more like a nightmare.

Aaron patted my knee as he drove "Are you okay Ember" He seemed to actually care about me... strange.

"Erm... yes just a nightmare" I looked away from him and focused on the road instead.

"We are spinning round!!"
Aaron looked so angry as if he wanted to rip someone's head open.

"Woah dude!" Fred seemed alarmed too but Aaron didn't say anything back he just starting driving back home.

"Aaron, what's going on??!"
I tried to touch him but his skin was boiling! Please tell me he isn't going to turn.

He just looked at me softly, "I know how much he hurt you Ember"
 
"Who?"

"You know how some werewolves have powers right (I nodded) well I have one. Depending on the person I can pick up emotions or sense when something is going to happen.  And people who I seem to connect with I can read their minds.... but with you its crazy! I couldn't just smell your fear I felt like I was watching you in your dream as if I couldn't help you! So I'm going back to the pub and I'm killing your boss"......

"Aaron STOP the car now!"

"Why Ember you know that Aaron is trying to help! Mr fucking Dread has always belitted you!"

"It's worse" Aaron grunted.

"What do you mean WORSE!? Did he-

"Stop both of you! Fred he's hurt me. But I don't wanna lose my brother or my friend in this pl-

"Em *Fred sighs* what did he do? Tell me we're basically siblings" Fred's smile was as sweet as spring. He was so loving.

"H-he -

"He touched her" Aaron knew! How dare he tell my own brother it wasn't his place to say!

"Em... " Fred pulled me into a hug. His warm embrace made me forget about all of the bad things.....
