"Please stop it! Stop hurting me!"Lisa begged her uncle as she knelt on the floor,hands tied behind her back.
Her clothes were partly torn and rough.
Her fears tripled as the man approached,a whip in his hand with a sickening smile plastered on his face.
He grasped her innocent face, her tears and silent whimper seem to fuel only his desires.
"I'll tell my father"She cried.
He reached out and slapped her across the face "Don't you ever try to threaten me."
"Ouch-"She whimper. Her face burn up at the impact.
"Oh my! I'm scared!"He laughed nastily.
"Please let me go and I promised I wont tell my dad"She pleaded looking up at him.
Her innocent eyes were gazing straight at him. Tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Let you go, you remind me of your mother! Same eyes, same hair and lustrous lips! But guess what,she choose your father over me"His chuckles reverted down his throat.
The cold whip trailed the tip of hair down to her lips ending at her cleavage.
He curled his finger around her hair,placing the whip on her exposed cleavage.
"Too bad your sick bastard of a father left you here with me"Her crystal clear eyeballs burned with hate.She hoped someone would come for her, maybe her mom will notice but her hope got crushed as she realized her mother wasn't in town.
"Still feisty!I like it! I'll tame that fire"He grabbed her top,yelling and thrashing about, she couldn't escape his grasp as he ripped her clothes off.
"Let me go please, I promise I wont tell my dad".
"I'm going to....
"Liz,Lisa! Wake up"Mrs Walter yelled.
"Don't touch me"She cried.
"Liz! Liz! Open your eyes"
Lizzy kept thrashing around,seemingly trapped in her nightmare. Rushing out of her room, Mrs Walter sprang to the freezer, grabbing a bottle of water.
"Ma do you need help"The chef with a concerned look asked.
"Call the family doctor"Mrs Walter pleaded as she rushed upstairs.
"Please stop! I'm sorry"Lizzy wept still thrashing around.
Mrs Walter quickly sprinkled the ice cold water on her face and Lizzy jolted awake. She sat up immediately,she looked around scared and bewildered.
"Please...."Her eyes met her mom's concerned look. She realized it was all a dream.
"I'm sorry! You never talked about!"Mrs Walter cried.
Tears slipped out of her eyes. Her face became pale drenched in water.
"Mom please! I want to be alone right now"She got off the bed, heads for the bathroom.
Mrs Walter stare at her retreating figure.
"Do you want to talk about it"
"Please mom! I just want to be left alone"The bathroom door slammed shut leaving Mrs Walter looking hurt and disappointed.
It was past 5am already. Everything was so much easier when she didn't talk about it but she never thought about how 12 hours alone with her husband's brother had destroyed her daughter's life.
Although four years had past, she has never asked Lizzy about that incident, She dreaded the conversation but right now,she felt like the most awful mother in the world.
Lizzy leaned against the door, her head spun around for a bit. She strode to the mirror and stare at her reflection. Her face was drained of any color and her lips were so dry.
Gently splashing her face with some water, her eyes turned cold and more distant, she felt sad.
After the incident,her mother treated her like a broken piece waiting to shattered and her father looked at her like a naive girl who couldn't grow past something.
A lone tears trailed down her cheeks,almost felt she could hear that bastard's sickening laughter.
She stepped into the shower,allowing the cold water to drench her from her hair down to the clothes.
"I'll tame that fire"his voice rang.
She couldn't get it out of her head. She scrubbed and scrubbed her skin.
She stepped out of the bathroom. Her mother was still in her room waiting for her.
"How are you Lizzy"Mrs Walter gently asked.
"I'm fine mom. I just want to left alone"She whispered, pulling out some clothes from her wardrobe.
"You can't keep pushing me away like this"Mrs Walter cried, and brought her hand to her face, gently caressing her cheeks.
Lizzy walked out of her grasp and headed back to the bathroom. She walked out dressed in a sweat shirt and black leggings.
"Don't get so worked up about me,I'm fine"She coated her lips red and put on a little mascara.
"You are so beautiful"Mrs Walter hand encased hers.
"Are you trying to make me feel better mother, I don't like it, I feel dirty"She snatched her hand away, hurt flashed across her mom's face causing her to sigh.
"Mother I'm fine! You just like making a big deal our of nothing"She assured, grabbing her phone and heading out.
"Are you going for a run, don't go for too long, are you coming back home"Mrs Walter followed her out of her room and they headed downstairs.
"I will just go to Josie's after I clear my head"
"You are avoiding your father,aren't you"
"Not really"She lied.
"But..
"Bye mother".
CARTER'S MANSION
The alarm went off. Blake lazily opened his eyes to turn off the alarm then shuts them again. Cassie's was still sleeping peacefully.
He gently got off the bed to avoid waking her up. It was just 5am. Dressing up in some yoga pant and jersey. He went out for a run to clear his head.
Ethan and Matt were waiting downstairs already. Going for a sprint before leaving was their routine.
"Hey Blake"Matt gulped down a glass of water.
"Everywhere is so loud"Ethan groaned. He had a little too much to drink at the club. Always dressed in some yoga pant and jersey.
"You can stay back if you want"Blake headed out of the door.
Ethan and Matt exchange a knowing gaze before joining him. The street was empty and quiet.
"Did you see your sister last night"Matt asked.
"Yeah! She said you both were ignoring her"Blake said pressing his feet against the ground.
"Really I didn't see her"Matt gasped. "I had a dream last night...
Blake and Ethan groaned trying to get further away from him but he sped after them.
"She plucked my eyes out with a kitchen knife"
"Leave my baby sister out of your crazy nightmare"
"She's like my sister too, maybe she's angry with me"Matt ran past them.
"Why would she be angry with you'Ethan laughed catching up with him.
"I promise her some cupcakes yesterday and I totally forgot"
"Cause you are a d**k"Ethan teased. Matt was the most serious one amongst the trio. He always like keeping his word.
"Cause Blake dragged my ass to the club"
Blake plugged his earpiece ignoring him. Sweat dripped down their forehead as they kept sprinting forward.
His brown hair fell messily over his forehead, he hum to 'Peaches' by Justin Bieber.

Lisa ran out to the main street. The adrenaline kicking in with every step. She let it all out. Her legs sprinting across the room.
She goes for a run once in a while to clear her head and it works pretty well for her.
Her eyes caught the three guys jogging not too far away from her, Blake, Ethan and Matt.
She didn't want to believe they were leaving in the same estate. How come she has never seen them before.
Ethan and Matt kept laughing to something while Blake was just jogging away.
She decided to go back home, after the night's incident, she didn't want to run into them. Blake suddenly glance seeing a retreating figure round the corner.
She quickly hid behind a tree hoping they will continue.
"What's wrong"Ethan asked following Blake eyes.
"I think someone is following us"He took off his ear phone.
"Are you sure"Matt asked.
"Pretty sure, behind that tree. Whoever he is, I'll find out."He pointed.
Matt shivered as Blake jogged back. Matt and Ethan followed closely behind.
Lisa panic seeing their approaching figure, she had to act fast or she might be discovered.
"This is a bad idea, what if the person has a gun"Matt warned.
Ethan chuckled."I'm so scared"
Blake cautiously inched forward, his eyes narrowed on the spot, he could see a shadow.
Signalling Ethan and Matt to quiet down, he approached the tree.
Lisa closed her eyes, her heart throbbing faster with every step Blake took.
He looked back at them then reached behind the leaves.
