Bette didn’t know how long she was unconscious, but when she woke up she was bound to the bed. The last thing she had remembered she was rejecting Bryon once more explaining that she was gay. Bryon didn’t seem to accept the answer so she walked away from him, then she felt the pain.

"Hello Bette," Bryon said in a low tone.

Bette’s head shot towards the door, "Bryon what the hell are you doing? Let me go right now!"

"Hmm I don’t think so," Bryon said with a low growl.

"Let me go! I will call the cops!" Bette yelled.

"And how will you do that if you’re tied up?" Bryon said walking forward menacingly.

Bette’s eyes clouded with fear, "please, let me go."

"Without teaching you a lesson?" Bryon said.

"Please Bryon, release me," Bette said.

Bryon took out a knife and pressed it against Bette’s forearm, he cut down her arm from the back of her hand to the junction where her forearm connected with her elbow.

"Ahhhh!" Bette screamed.

"You will shut up! Everytime you speak out of line you’ll get a new cut," Bryon growled.

"Ahh," Bette whimpered tears spilling from her eyes.

Bryon brought the knife to her shirt and sliced in open making Bette twitch in fear.

"Please Bryon," Bette whimpered.

Bryon brought the knife to the center of her stomach and sliced up the middle right through her bra and over her sternum.

"Gaaahhhh!" Bette screamed.

"I said shut up!" Bryon snapped. He cut the shirt and bra the rest of the way off then yanked her pants and panties down roughly.

Bette cried out in fear and pain.

Bryon brought the knife to right above her knee and sliced all the way up her thigh to her pelvic bone.

"Ahhhhhh!" Bette screamed, "I didn’t talk!"

"But now you did," Bryon said bringing the knife to her other calf.

"No please Bryon, I swear I won’t talk, please!" Bette begged sobbing violently.

"If I show leniency how will I ever break you in?" Bryon said slicing up from her ankle and up her shins.

"Ahhhh!" Bette screeched. Bryon smirked sadistically and started unbuckling his pants.

"Time for your first lesson," Bryon said.

Bette was sobbing hysterically as he climbed on top of her but she didn’t dare speak, she just couldn’t handle anymore pain.

She could only whimper and sob as Bryon positioned himself over her…

Tina shut off the T.V and wiped the tears from her eyes. She couldn’t handle watching any more of it. She couldn’t watch that bastard rape Bette. It was obviously the first time he had hurt her and it scared her to no end to think that he could have more DVDs with even worse things.

She would ask Max to analyze the rest of it because she just couldn’t do it. She stood up from the couch and walked to the other bedroom. She peeked in and saw Reed fast asleep in his racecar bed and Angie slumbering in her crib.

 She would be up in three hours for a feeding so Tina didn’t see the point of going to bed. She walked towards her bedroom glancing at the clock which read 11pm.

She stepped into the bedroom and saw Bette sitting up on the bed in the darkness. Tina shut the door behind her then looked over at Bette.

"Did you watch it?"

Tina shook her head before she realized Bette probably couldn’t see her so she said, "I couldn’t."

"I heard his voice through the walls," Bette said.

"I stopped when he was about to…" Tina trailed off.

"Rape me," Bette finished.

Tina dropped her head in tears, "whenever I think about what he did to you…" Her body started shaking in rage, "I don’t know what I would’ve done if I watched that."

"Those were the first four cuts he gave me, they’re the ones scarred deepest," Bette said, "after he raped me twice."

"God," Tina breathed crying.

Bette stood up from the bed and took Tina’s hand, "we will surpass this together. We can’t let him win now."

Tina caressed her face, "I won’t let him anywhere near you Bette."

"I know you won’t," Bette said, "I feel safe around you."

"And Oz will help me," Tina said glancing at the dog who was lounging on the footrest at the edge of the bed.

Bette smiled, "you can’t imagine how much I love you."

"I can because I love you just the same."
