My Guardian Angel

Chapter Twenty Six: Love Is A Powerful Thing

I begin to walk home as I cry. I don't exactly pay attention to my surrondings though and as I look up from the ground, I notice I'm lost. A dark figure comes out and stands in front of me, it's clearly a man. A very dirty man. A few more come out of the shadows to me.

"What's a pretty girl like yourself doing out here?" The front man asks. 

"Suffering from a horrible break up." I reply truthfully.

"Aw, the girl lost her boyfriend!" Another man sneers. 

"I still love him though, someone kissed me and he saw... and then he broke up with me before I could explain." I sigh. 

"I know how to make it better." The front man sneers.

"Oh?" I ask. Before I can react he is pushing his lips onto mine. I scream into it and he uses that to his advantage putting his tongue in. I bite on his tongue and he draws back.

"A fiesty one." He snickers. The fear building up in me is unbelievable right now. Two men come behind me and grab my arms, I use my angel strength to try and pull my arms out, but some how they stay stuck in their grasp.

I scream out loud causing everyone to cover their ears. I try to run but the lead man grabs me. Even while I try running with my angel speed. I start to cry as the fear builds. He uses inhuman strength and slams me against a tree trunk. 

My mind goes blank, and I can't focus any more. I scream out as I feel a horrible pain on my wrist. The tears flowing down my face don't stop. 

"Aw, look she's crying!" A man laughs. 

"W-Why?" I ask through sobs.

"Because we're men. Any way, cut her again, she needs to be punished for trying to run away." The lead man says. Another pain erupts in my wrist causing me to scream out. 

"Damn, she has loud screams." A man says uncovering his ears. 

"Step away from her." A voice growls, I instantly regconize it as Damian. 

"Aw, is this your boyfriends that broke up with you?" The lead man sneers. This time I growl, earning another cut on my arm. I start to freak out inside as a man forces his lips upon mine again. He cups my breast and I try to wiggle free but he forces himself upon me harder. 

Suddenly his body is being ripped away from mine. I look up to see Damian in his old fashioned cloak like shirt and leggings with his awesome boots. The other men are lying around on the ground unconcious. 

"It's okay Ivy, I'm here." Damian says softly. I slowly stand but stay away from Damian, he did dump me and I'm feeling the hurt from it. I here the others run up, Hazel takes one look at me and then the men and she growls really loudly. But I don't really pay attention to any of them, just Damian.

"Ivy, I want to kill each and every one of these men." Thalia growls.

"Hey Ivy, you alright?" Devin asks coming up to me. I run into his arms and start to cry on his shoulder.

"T-They t-tried to-to r-rape me." I cry into his shoulder.

"It's okay lil' sis, we're here now." Devin says comfortingly rubbing my back. I look back to the men and one of them starts to get up, I go behind Devin and cling to his back.

"D-Don't let them g-get m-me." I whisper.

"Wouldn't dream of it." Devin growls before walking over and stomping on the mans back. Damian tries to approach me but I run away from him, still hurt.

"Ivy-" Damian starts.

"No, I get it, you hate me now." I say strongly through my crying.

"I don't-" Damian starts again.
