"W-what are you d-doing?" She asked while struggling under his grip.

"Now that's the question I am keep asking you. What are you doing little butterfly?" He smirked, his hand reached up to stroke her cheek but she turned her head away.

"My brothers won't be happy when they will hear about this!" She said angrily.

"Well. Too bad... They are not here to save you today." He chuckled humorously and wrapped his arms around her petite waist.

Tears gathered in her eyes as his hand started to go lower, towards her behind. He squeezed the flesh roughly and leant his lips closer.

Eleanora struggled harder to push him off but he was like rock. His hand reached under her dress from behind and that's when first sob slipped past her lips.

"S-stop it p-p-please..."

"Shh. Don't cry pretty girl! We are just starting. I won't hurt you bad. You will enjoy it, trust me." His light tone seductive and manipulating.

Nora cried silently feeling trapped.

A thought of screaming swept past her mind but like sensing her thoughts, he covered her mouth refraining her from doing so. His heavy body pressed tightly against her, crushing it between him and wall behind.

"There is no use of screaming. Likewise I said at first, your brothers are not here to save you. They are gone somewhere and their return is nearly not possible this time." He chuckled.

Her heart sank.

"What do you mean?" She asked, a urgency and worry filled in her tone.

"Oops. They didn't told you bye before leaving." He chuckled.

"Well apparently they went to kill those assassins who tried to kidnap you and almost killed Hunter that day!" Her eyes widened at this revelation.

"W-what?" That's why Vincent was yelling commands at guards in the living room. Her brothers didn't even bothered to tell her about this.

"And you know what's even more amazing? Your safety's responsibility is on my shoulders today!" He grinned, his eyes clearly showed his dark intentions instead of the protection.

"The guards downstairs are on my side. They won't help you. I think they would more like their turn." He let out a tsk sound. Shivers of disgust chilled down her spine.

"Now it would be good if you give yourself to me willingly or I will have to force you." He whispered in her ear.

The hair on her neck stood up in alert. The alarms started ringing in her ears as she analyzed the whole situation.

No no no no! This time she won't let anyone steal her innocence.

Tears rolled down her cheeks as that horrible memory hit her hard.

"I will die but I won't let you touch me." She stated in a stern, straight voice.

Joshua was taken back with her statement. His eyebrows went up in surprise.

"I will se--" He was cut off mid-sentence when he felt a intense pain in his family jewels.

A hard push on his chest and he fell back down on the floor hard.

It took a moment for his brain to register that she had kicked him and was escaping from his grasp.

He shakily let a pained groan out and jumped back on his feet.

"I love this chasing game Eleanora!" He yelled from the back.

Nora ignored his words and started running mindlessly in the dim lighted hallways. Sweat was glistening on her forehead and her heart was thumping loudly in her chest.

She climbed down the stairs and ran towards the kitchen. Her eyes widened in horror to see the cooks and maids laying unconscious on the floor.

Joshua's sadistic laugh filled in her ears. Her heart almost burst out from her chest.

She ran towards the first living room and desperately searched for a phone or something to contact someone, to call someone for help. But in the very dim light, it was hard to see anything.

Her eyes widened when she heard the frantic footsteps running downstairs.

Without thinking much, she crawled under the gigantic table and curled her legs to her chest.

"Sir! She is nowhere to be find." Someone informed Joshua.

"She must be somewhere hiding. Make sure to search every each corner of the mansion. It is impossible for her to run out from the front doors." Joshua gritted back.

"I need her with me. The second troop will be here to take her again. Last time Hunter stopped them all but this time, seven of them are distracted in fighting the first troop. Our plan is perfect and this is the only chance. We have to find her! Before they kill the first troop and come back here. Fucking go and SEARCH FOR HER!" Joshua hissed.

Eleanora cried silently as she heard this. She felt weak, helpless.

Suddenly there was a silence in her surroundings. Nora muffled her sobs in and sat there silently waiting in anticipation.

Suddenly a cold hand wrapped around her ankle and she was dragged out from the table. She opened her mouth to scream but a hand covered it.

Her eyes widened in horror.

"Shh." A whisper reached her ear.

She tried to look at his face but the dim light wasn't helping her.

He effortlessly picked her up from behind like some little baby and easily skipped out from the front doors, avoiding suspicious eyes.

By reaching near the front gate, he set her down on her feet and whistled. She gave him a confusing look as the dim light around the mansion turned off too.

Her heart sank yet again.

"Boss! It's about time." A annoyed whisper sounded from somewhere.

"Help her in climbing the wall and take her safely to the Crimson Villa!" That person who took her here commanded.

In extreme darkness, Nora was unable to see anything. But she was scared badly.

She jumped slightly when someone jumped down from the big brick wall in front of them and landed safely on the ground but too much near her.

"And what about you?" The person who just jumped inside from the wall asked in a impatient tone.

They heard the sound of the front gates burst opening and the cars came racing inside. Many figures stepped out but none showed similarity like her brothers.

These persons were there to take her, to kidnap her.

The headlights of the cars immediately caught them standing there and with loaded guns in their hands, they pointed it at them. With the source of light, Nora saw as Joshua and three guards came outside.

Joshua glared at Nora. Before turning his eyes to look at that particular someone. His eyes widened.

"I have some unfinished business left to do." That person whispered from behind Nora and pushed her behind him. He stood in front of her tall and without a hint of fear and completely weaponless. He was wearing a black hoodie and his face hidden under the hood.

A small smirk crossed over his features as he saw how every person started backing away. Even Joshua looked scared with his face pale white.

The person behind her grabbed her arm and started pulling her towards the wall.

As much as Nora didn't wanted to leave, but the bloody massacre that was going to happen as that hoodie man pulled guns out forced her to do so.

That person helped her in climbing up the wall and also jumped on it like some cat. He squeezed her hand gently and jumped down in the darkness.

"C'mon princess. Don't worry I am gonna catch you."

Nora shakily breathed in and tried to prepare herself but as soon as the gunshots rang behind her, aiming her, her body on it's own accord started to drop on the ground.

On the instinct, she closed her eyes waiting for the bone breaking impact but nothing happened instead arms wrapped around her and she was saved.

That person didn't gave her a time to recover but started running in the darkness and dragging Nora behind himself.

They ran for five minutes until they reached the villa. He pushed her in and locked the door from outside.

Nora wanted to knock at the door, to tell him to come inside too but stopped when she heard the sounds of grunting and shooting inside.

She backed away from it and ran a hand through her hair. Her heart could be heard pounding loudly from miles away.

Suddenly a sound of telephone ringing grabbed her attention. She rushed towards the living room and picked it up.

Before she could even say something, her brother's voice spoke up from the other side. Relief flooded in her veins.

"James! Where the fuck are you? The cameras of mansion are turned off! Go and see if Nora is ok. No one is picking up the phone there." Vincent's cold voice from the other side warmed her heart. She could sense it that there was a hidden concern in his tone.

Nora couldn't hold herself together and let tears rolled down her cheeks.

"V-vince." She whispered in a broken tone.

There was a silence on the other line.

"Eleanora!" He said.

"Are you ok?" He asked slowly.

"Y-yes." She whispered back.

"What happened? Why are you in the Villa?" He asked in the same tone. In the background, Nora could heard some movements coming from other side.

Still crying, she narrated the whole story. She also told him about her saviour 'hoodie man' - that's what she started to call him.

Vincent listened to her calmly and asked her some more questions if Joshua tried to hurt her or something.

That's when Nora couldn't held her sobs back in.

She told him that he touched her inappropriately.

Nora could sense the tension building on the other side.

"We are here!" He announced before hanging up. Nora placed the phone back down.

The door was opened. She ran towards her brother Vincent who stood there with a emotionless face. Without thinking, she wrapped her arms around his waist.

Nora froze when he placed his hand on the backside of her head. The small touch of the comfort sent warmth in her heart.

He let her cry on his chest. That small sign of affection arose a hope inside her heart and lifted her spirits up.

He was starting to truly accept her as his sister, as a family.
