Power

Branded

Tyler's POV

It seemed as if I passed out because when I woke up I was chained shirtless to the wall, and Taylor stood at a table filled with knives, scissors, razors and all of them had my blood on them.

And there in the corner of the room, was a lit fire place with Ashton standing over it with a metal in his hands. When he came over with it I finally saw what it was.

It was a piece of metal with the letters SLUT carved inside of it. Taylor then came towards me and held my mouth shut so my screams will come out as muffles. He pressed the metal against my stomach and the pain was excruciating, and I passed out from the unbearable pain.

When I woke up he unchained me then sent me to my old room. I started limping because with every step I took my entire body throbbing with extreme pain.

My room was exactly how I had left it. I took a painful walk to my bathroom and looked at the mirror. What my face looked at was heartbreaking.

I had a busted lip, a bruise on my left eye, swollen cheeks and multiple scars on my face. I rose up my shirt and saw that my stomach was different shades of blue and red.

It also had the word slut branded on it and some cuts. At this point I was sobbing softly then I decided to take a warm shower to calm me down a little.

It helped though, when I was done I cried myself to sleep. I wasn't going to reject him; not for Ashton or anyone else. Even if I don't know him, I already know that I love him and that he would never do anything to hurt me.

~~Nathan's POV

She has been gone for more than an hour and my wolf Jack was starting to get really worried. I couldn't take it anymore and went to look for her. She wasn't anywhere in the girls' bathroom or around the school.

I had a bad feeling about what was happening. Jack was really worried when she didn't come to her two last classes. I went home and looked for her everywhere and started to become very frustrated and questions were racing through my head like where was she? Was she kidnapped?

Why would someone kidnap her? She doesn't even have friends beside Heather, and when I asked she said she had no idea where she was.

That night I didn't get any sleep just constantly thinking about Tyler. Nothing could prepare me for what was about to happen the next day.

I walked to school hoping that I would see her. I was relieved to find her sitting on one of the benches alone with her hooded head down. I took a seat next to her and she didn't even acknowledge my presence.

"Hey. Where were you yesterday? I looked everywhere for you but couldn't find you anywhere."

She didn't look up, but said, "yeah..... Um I had stuff to attend to." with a hoarse voice.

Something was wrong with her I swear. We had same classes together and she ignored me in every one of them, and I thought that was really strange. But that wasn't all, I saw her sitting with her old pack at lunch and she was with them everywhere they went and she was very unhappy.
