Chapter: 27

(Trigger warning: rape)

Nothing could have prepared me for what awaited me when I awoke. Once again, I was in that cold, gloomy cellar, the one I was brought too when I first arrived. I was dressed in nothing but my panties and a simple black t-shirt. The only difference being I was tied up this time. I thrusted upwards and yanked violently on the chains attached to the bed. But the tight bonds trapping me wouldn't budge.

"Annnd she's awake"

I slowly peered up to find Alec standing against the door frame, his eyes never left me as he shut the door and started towards me. An invisible thread tugged at the corner of his lips, as his eyes sparked up in amusement at my frightened reaction.

"You know Cass, I really wanted to make this work. I didn't want you to feel trapped, or like I owned you. I wanted you and I to have a real relationship...I mean, that's really not a lot to ask." He laughed out maniacally.

I remained silent, my heartbeat accelerating as I watched Alec; his deliberate movements, calculated steps towards me...the psychotic grin plastered to his face. I knew Alec undoubtedly had anger issues, but I had never seen him act so...strange before. It was as if something snapped inside him. No he didn't seem in a rage or terribly upset, yet he had this strange menacing glint in his eyes.

"But now we're just gonna have to do this the hard way, huh?"

Suddenly a movement in the corner of the room caught my attention and I watched silently as Jessie stepped out of the shadows.

"What do you think Jess, think she's ready?" Alec asked.

"Oh, she's definitely ready." Jessie responded, grinning.

I quickly came to the realization as to what they were referring to...my virginity. Once again, I began to thrash against the annoyingly tight restraints. The rough movements caused the clasps to cut into my skin and I couldn't help but let out a sharp hiss.

"Please no, d-don't do this. I'm begging you, please." I cried out, tears suddenly pouring from my eyes like a waterfall.

Alec then moved from the edge of the bed, right beside me, the quickness of his action causing me to flinch.

"Shh, don't cry sweet Cassandra. We won't both take you, just me. I have given you chance after chance, you should have listened darling." Alec whispered into my ear, as his rough fingers traced circles on my collarbone.

"Don't do this Alec, if you care about me you won't hurt me...please. I'm begging you, please", I couldn't help but cringe at the pitiful desperation lacing my voice.

"I thought you would want to loose your virginity to someone who loves you. And I more than love you Cassandra. You're everything to me. You are my obsession. My reason for living, dying. Everything."

"How can I be everything to you! You barely even know me! This can't be happening!"
I yelled, more to myself than to anyone else in the room. I squeezed my eyes shut, hoping this all was just a terrible, terrible dream. The sick ending of a nightmare. The kind of ending, when right before that dreadful, yet inevitable thing you've been anticipating since the beginning is about to happen, like magic you wake up. You never have to suffer those final worst moments of the dream because your brain lets you miraculously escape it, if you can't handle it.

But I knew I couldn't pinch myself out of this nightmare. The lingering pain on my neck from Alec's bites divulged that this was certainly not a dream, but harsh, ruthless, reality.

"Oh but I do. The first time I ever saw you, yes, was in that coffee shop. But after that, I learned everything I could about your past. I looked into your school, medical records, constantly followed you, visited your hometown and talked to your foster families...even your friends."
