Chapter 2

1 month later

Tied to the chair, blood running down my face The lady asked "what are you?"
I screamed and shot upright in my bed. There was a knock at my window before it was opened, Nathan stepped inside and ran over to me pulling me into a hug
"It's alright, you're safe. I promise"
I buried my head into his shoulder and he held me closer as a tear ran down my cheek.
"So you want to talk about it?"
"Not really." I said.
"Ok then, I'll see you later then?"
"Ya thanks."
I said watching him disappear out the window
The next day
I honestly hate physics the only thing I like about it is that Nathan is in the same class, and it's the last period of the day.
I walked into the classroom and a whole bunch of people were surrounding my table so I walked around to the back of the classroom and moved to my desk from there.
The teacher walked into the classroom just as I sat down I didn't notice it but someone was actually sitting next to me.
He started talking attendance than he got to my name
"Kate" he said
"Here" I responded getting a look of shock from the teacher
"Glad you showed up for once"
"Yep"
"next is Lucas"
"Here" a voice I hadn't recognized said I looked around for the voice and noticed, all the girls in the class were looking next to me so I looked too and sitting there was the new kid everyone was talking about.
He had blondish brown hair and blue eyes, he was wearing a blue shirt, jeans, and black converse.
I looked down at the desk and a paper mysteriously appeared it wasn't a worksheet it was a letter in an envelope.
The envelope looked old like it was a stolen relic it seemed as if the letter had this sort of aura I don't know as if it was drawing me in, begging to be opened. My hand reached for it but was stopped right before it touched the letter snapping me out of what ever trance I was in .
I looked at the hand then at the owner of it Who whispered " don't touch that letter" before releasing my hand.
"Kate do you mind being Lucas's lab partner for today?" The teacher asked
"Nope, not a problem" I responded getting Death Stares from the female population of the class.
"Ok this has nothing to do with physics but I thought you might want a brake so here's your task. With your lab partner you are to go around the school and find the objects on the paper" he said handing out one paper per group." There is one that is bones and if you find it I will give you and your partner a passing grade for the rest of the year"
Everybody looked shocked and started talking to their partners about the bonus item when the teacher said
"you may start"
Everyone including Lucas and I stood up, and walked out of the classroom. We found everything except the bonus item which wasn't an item but a room and not just any room the room covered in flowers.
Lucas noticed the look of shock on my face and looked at the item we hadn't done, and knew that I knew the location but hadn't asked where it was he just spoke in his alluring voice "your name was Kate right?"
"Um, yes" I said nervously
"Have you heard of the secret garden?"
"Ya I read it when I was younger"
"Think of that with a twist"
"Why?"
"Because the the other items don't matter it's the one on the bottom that dose"
"What do you mean?" I asked questionably
"He isn't who he says he is"
"Who? the teacher?"
"Yep, why would he give us a scavenger hunt when it's the week before exams?"
"You have a point"
"He could be after you to In more ways than one" Lucas said
"What are you saying?"
" you never noticed the way he looks at you?"
"Nope" I said honestly
"Well than you might not like what I'm going to do when we get back to the classroom"
"What are you going to do?"
"It's a surprise" he said grabbing my hand and leading me back to the classroom
We got to the classroom and there were a few people there somehow it ended up being all guys. We handed the teacher the paper and as I turned to go back to the table I was spun into Lucas's arms. My heart skipped a beat and Lucas placed a gentle kiss on my lips right in front of the teacher and a class full of guys who just looked shocked and most likely wanted to praise him for doing it in front of a teacher.
Lucas released the kiss and I slapped him across the face just as a group of girls walked in.
"What the hell Kate?" One of them asked
I didn't respond I just walked back to my seat and the girls crowded Lucas asking him if he'd be all right. His only response was
" it's alright don't blame her I deserved that" then walked back to the table and sat down
We remained silent and sooner rather than later the bell rang. I waited till everyone else left before getting up and walking to the door where I was stopped by the teacher
"What did I do now?" I asked
"That was a nice display so how'd you figure it out?"
"I don't know what you're talking about?" I replied
"yes you do" he said pushing me into the classroom.
"I really have no idea what you're talking about?"
"Well you will now" the teacher pushed me against the wall and started to take my shirt off. I yelled and tried to kick him off but he was abnormally strong. So all I could do was lay there and scream. Tears came out of my eyes like a river after a big storm he started to unbuckle my pants so I screamed more and kept hoping Nathan or Lucas would save me and I was right someone was trying to open the locked door and started banging against the glass. It was Lucas. He disappeared for a second before coming back with three guys from the football team .
I screamed for them to help and they did by knocking down the door and forcefully pulling the teacher off of me I ran into Lucas's arms he sat down and held me insuring me "it'd be alright" I felt safe in his arms more then I did Nathan's. I cried and apologized for not listening to him he said it was alright but I couldn't forgive myself for not listening. Someone must've called the police officer because he walked in and took the teacher from the football players, handcuffed him, and took him away.
The three football players walked over to us and asked if I was ok I lifted my head and said "no, I almost got raped!" Before burying it back into Lucas's shoulder.
"I'll take care of her, you guys go and tell the principle what happened" he said
They complied and when they left I put my shirt and pants back on and with Lucas walked out of the school.
"Hey Kate, do you. Mind if I take you to my house?" He asked hesitantly
"Sure" I said
"ok" he said taking my hand and guiding me to his house, which was a small apartment. he unlocked the door and we walked into the house.
"Do you want something to drink?" Lucas asked
"Um no thanks" I said nervously
"Hey" we said simotainiously
"You first". He said
"Thank you for saving me" I said before sitting on the white colored sofa
"No problem" he said sitting next to me
"Lucas can I ask you something?"
"Ya go ahead"
"If we didn't know each other would you have saved me?"
" he looked at me and said if you want an honest answer I probably would've gotten a teacher."
"Why didn't you?"
"Because you're special"
"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked
I looked at him waiting for a response but he had none he turned the tv on so I focused my attention to that but I couldn't stop thinking about what had happened.
About an hour later of watching a movie I yawned and Lucas made the obvious comment "tired?"
"Maybe a little" I responded
"come with me you can stay here tonight" he said getting up and walking into another room I followed him, he told me to wait there and I did as he went into yet another room. I took my shoes off and sat on the bed When Lucas came back into the room he handed me a shirt and said
"here you can use this"
"thanks, where's the bathroom?"
"Right there." Lucas pointed to the door next to the bed I walked into the bathroom, took off my jeans then my shirt and replaced it with the one he gave me before walking out of the bathroom Lucas said he'd take the couch so I got into the bed and went to sleep. That night I had another dream but this time it wasn't scary it was a dream.
A beautiful village and landscape could be seen from the windows it was The most beautiful thing in the world. The sent of flowers and the ocean surrounded the castle. I was sitting on a swing and someone was pushing me.
