 I was on a break getting water from the water station that was set up near our location when Oscar came by. He looked at me, his green eyes looking me up and down as he leaned up against the watercooler.

I scoffed and turned away, refusing to even acknowledge his existence.

As I was walking away he grabbed me by my upper arm where a bruise was likely forming from earlier. I whirled around and glared at him, my own green eyes glowing with power and anger. "Touch me again and I will cut your hand off before shoving it down your throat, you insulate mortal."

He chuckled as if I had made a joke. "Oh, c'mon, sweetheart. I just came over to apologize for my behavior earlier. I meant no harm."

"I do not care what your intentions were earlier. Touch me again and you will lose your hand."

One of the girls that was nearby came over to see what was going on. I didn't know her name but she had blond hair and green eyes. She looked nice as she smiled at the both of us. "Something wrong?"

I smiled at her, "Of course not, dear. I was just explaining to Oscar here that woman can do anything a man can do. Isn't that right, sweetheart."

I could see Oscar grit his teeth before smiling at her, "That's right, and I was just apologizing for assuming otherwise."

The blond smiled before linking arms with me. "Well, if that's all, I'm going to take her away. I need help with something, if you don't mind that is."

I smiled and nodded, "Of course, dear. Please, lead the way."

I followed her before giving a teasing wave to Oscar before flipping him off. I looked at the blond who had a worried expression on her face. "You really ought not to anger him. He can be...mean."

I rolled my eyes, "Mean is an understatement. My arm will be bruised for the next week or so."

She looked at me with concern. "What do you mean?"

I rolled up my sleeve showing her the hand print left on my upper arm. "That's apparently what happens when you drop a frame on his toes."

"Oh, no. I am so sorry. I wish we could do something, but every time one of us tries to tell Casey what's going on, he threatens to destroy our lives even more."

I looked at her, this time with my own concern. "You mean there's more of you?"

She nodded, "Yeah. All of us girls got so scared of him that we asked Casey if we could be our own group so as to stay far away from him. Of course she don't know it's because of him."

"Why hasn't anyone said anything?" I asked.

She looked down, "He threatened us. I have a little boy, you see, he's the only thing I have left after the battle. Oscar knows this, somehow he always knows, and he threatened to hurt my little boy if I told anyone. All of us have similar threats against us."

I shook my head, "Dear, you've got to stand up for yourself. If not for yourself then for your little boy."

"I know I should, but he knows where I live, where Mikey goes to school, everything. He knows where I worked and got me fired from there. Now he shows up at the new place I work. He's like this with all the girls. To make sure we know he's watching."

I gritted my teeth, "I'll make sure he leaves all you alone."

"Please, don't do anything. He'll know we told you."

"I promise, he won't know anything."

"I can't lose my boy, I just can't."

I smiled at her calmly, "I promise, I will do everything in my power to make sure your boy never gets hurt."
