Katherine's Pov

Running.

My lungs were burning for oxygen, my legs were aching and my body was exhausted. But I couldn't stop running, it's all I knew how to do.

They say running from your problems won't make them disappear but they will hold them off for a while. That's all I want, I wanted to escape them.

No, I needed to escape them even if its just for a couple of hours.

Ashton doesn't seem like an ordinary student neither does Matthew, they radiate power Ashton more than Matthew. His eyes are as cold as ice, the way he carries himself screams power and the aura around him reeks of danger yet I can't seem to get those beauty, cold, grey stormy eyes out of my mind.

When he muttered those words, my blood ran cold and all I could do was run. My body was trained to run the moment someone started figuring out pieces of my life, they'd become a threat to me and I'll come one to them.

I don't want to put anybody in danger, they don't deserve to punished along with me. Amelia's life was once again in danger by me because of him, how could I be so fucking stupid to think he would leave me alone?

My lungs felt like they were on fire, my legs collapsed beneath me and I fell onto the cold, hard ground. I winced as my palms and knees burned in pain from the scratches I got from the hard ground.

I looked around and saw I was currently somewhere deep in the forest yet there was a gigantic mansion there. It was extremely beautiful, by the looks of it rich people lived here. There were multiple guards standing in front of the gate and surrounding the house, I got up slowly not wanting to make a sound and alert the guards.

As I got up and turned around to walk away, someone grabbed my hair harshly and yanked it down while snarling.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm looking for you mom, we were supposed to bang tonight," He roared and dragged me by my hair to the mansion, I hissed in pain as his grip tightened.

All the guards watched with curious eyes as he dragged me inside the gates towards a smaller house behind the mansion. People behind the door opened the door and he continued to drag me by my hair, everytime I tripped he'd pull harder and I'd have to bite my lip to stop myself from screaming.

We were currently in a basement where I saw men sitting behind bars, they all looked at me. Lust clear in their eyes as their eyes roamed my body and I shuddered in disgust.

He opened the gate and threw me inside with the rest of the men, I shouted for him to come back but he laughed.

"Enjoy your time! Boys, take care of this girl and show her some... manners," He smirked as he exited, I glared at him before looking at the men.

I chuckled nervously as I raised my hands to show surrender while walking backwards, they all watched me with amusement.

"Where'd you think you're going mate?" Someone grabbed my waist and pulled me to their chest while whispering into my ear, it send shivers down my spine and not to good kind that I get from Ashton.

Shut the fuck up

I resisted the urge to shudder in disgust, this place reeked and so did all the men. There weren't alot of them but I wasn't going to fight unless I was forced to, there were about nine men in total. If I could get in a corner I could probably take them all on, I know I'm getting in way over my head but I refuse to lose.

"Let me go."

"Didn't ya' hear what the guard said? We're here to take care of you princess," His hand was sliding down from my waist to my upper thigh, I could feel my blood starting to boil.

Nobody touches me without permission. I didn't have time to register the warning bells going off in my head, telling me if I try to fight them all I'd lose. All I saw was red, I wanted blood.

"You sick bastard!" I headbutted his nose and elbowed his stomach, he stumbled backwards and cried in pain. The rest of the men came charging towards me, I stood in a fighting stance getting ready to attack.

Let's do this.

I pounced on the nearest man and repeatedly punched his face before hitting my head against his nose. Another one picked me up and held my arms back while someone else came running towards me, I kicked him in the face.

He fell down and I hit the man who was holding me in the balls, he released md and I turned around before punching his jaw. There wasn't enough time for me to take a breath and get my head straight before two guys picked me up. They each held my arms and legs as they set me on the table, straightening my body.

"Let me go, you sick old people!" They all laughed as I screamed, one started to remove my top. I screamed louder earning a smack from the man who's nose I broke. He told me to obey him and everything won't be so hard, it'll be over before I know it. I laughed and spat in his face, he glared at me.

"You bitch," He spat and smacked me again, blood filled my mouth and I spat it out.

"You slap like a bitch," He roared in anger, someone had to hold him back and I laughed at how easy it was to piss him off.

They ripped off my shirt, my chest was open and the cold hair hit my soft warm skin. Their eyes were clouded by lust as they stared at my chest, I started to panic a little I couldn't get out of their hold. It was strong, I sucked in a breath of air calming myself down so that I could think.

They started to pull down my shorts, I start thrashing my arms and legs while screaming. They were too busy trying to get me to stop that they didn't hear the door open and neither did I.

My right leg was free and I used it to kick the man in the face, he fell backwards releasing my left leg. Another man came and held my legs down, I shouted in frustration. My eyes became glossy but I refused to cry, the man brought his head down to my face and I head butted him.

Before he could hit me, someome roared in anger and stomped to where I was laying. The man backed away in fear, all of their heads bowing in submission and I let out a sigh of relief.

"Who gave you permission to touch her?" That voice sounded so familiar, I sat up and looked at the man, my eyes widening while my jaw slightly dropped.

It was Ashton.

He looked at me, his eyes roamed over my body and darkened as he saw I had no top on. He walked over to me while taking off his top, I looked at his torso.

His light tanned skin was shining a little, he had a six pack and his muscles looked like heaven. I could see a little of his v-line sticking out, I swallowed hard as he came near me.

"Put this on," I looked into his eyes, it was darker than usual, his eyes held anger and slight confusion but mostly anger.

Deciding that it wasn't the best time to question him, I obeyed and put the shirt over my head before putting my arms in the holes. He picked me up bridal style and walked out of the place, he didn't say word as he carried me to the mansion.

I watched as his adams apple went up and down, how his jaw clenched every few seconds and his hold slightly tightened. I let out a tired sigh as I rested my head against his warm chest, closing my eyes. The tiredness of today had finally started to kick in, my body was aching and my legs hurt but I didn't care.

All I wanted to do was sleep, I'll worry about these things later.

"Go to sleep Katherine, you had a long day," I nodded and slowly let the dark consume me.
