He pinned me against the wall, my hands above my head. His one hand held both my wrists, while his other trailed down my face.

"You're beautiful," he whispered. His face was blurred, yet I could see the menace in his eyes.

"You're hurting me," I said, squirming.

"Oh please. You know you want this," he sneered, drawing closer.

"No...no...no!" I said, still squirming,"Let go! I-Let go!"

His face contorted into rage and his grip on my wrists tightened.

"You will want this," he snarled, his face closer to mine.

"No!" I kicked out and struck him the crotch.

His grasp faltered and he bent over, gasping for air.

I skirmished past him, ripping open the door and racing to get out.

A hand grabbed my wrist and my head snapped around, fear in my eyes.

"Where are you going bitch?" He sneered, still bent over, his other hand crossed over his stomach.

Fear danced in my eyes I as drew away, his hand stopping me.

"You're not going anywhere," he snarled, yanking me closer.

"No!" I screamed, stumbling.

He stopped suddenly, a stronger hand on his wrist.

"I do believe the kind lady here told you no," Percy said, stepping away from the shadows.

His grip tightened on the other boy's wrist, his eyes almost unreadable.

"Stay out of this," the boy snarled, his grip on my wrist tightening.

"She said no. Let it go," Percy said, his eyes dark and solemn.

The other boy snarled, but let go.

I rushed over to Percy and buried my head in his chest, gripping his shirt.

"Thank you..." I whispered, tears steaming down my cheeks.

He put his arm around me, still facing the other boy.

"This isn't you, man," Percy said, desperation in his voice as he dropped the boy's wrist.

"You don't know me. You never have. All you wanted to do was get in her pants," the boy snarled,"Congrats I guess."

Percy's fist slashed out and connected with the boy. The boy's head snapped back and he stumbled.

"Never disrespect Ambrosia like that," Percy said coldly.

The boy righted himself quickly and wiped the blood away from his nose.

"You always were quick to resort to fighting," he smirked,bumping his shoulder menacingly into Percy's as he stalked away.

Percy watched him go, menace and hatred in his eyes.

"He's not himself," I whispered, squeezing my eyes shut, gripping his shirt tighter.

Percy gazed into nothing sadly. "No he's not."

Chills raced down my spine as my fingers grazed over the empty space on the wall, as if the picture that had once stood there was a memory I had forgotten.

The street lights from outside cast funny shadows, every light in the house off.

I was meant to be sleeping but something about this space had been nagging me.

I stared at it then sighed, tiptoeing up the stairs as the rest of the memory returned.

"But he'll change back right?" I asked, staring up at Percy desperately.

Percy sighed and hugged me tighter.

"I don't know any more Amb. I just don't know."
