My mind was a constant roller coaster of anxiety and fear, making sleep impossible. I continued tossing and turning until I got fed up and quit fighting it. I groaned in frustration as I threw my covers off and made my way to Michelle and Brian's room. A smile played on my lips when I saw the light from their room peeking through their door. I felt like a little kid again. When I would have a nightmare I would run to my parents room to find solace, and that's what I needed now. Though I am a grown woman and their not my parents, but sadly enough my reality had become a nightmare and I never thought the day would come that I would go to them for comfort. I gently pushed the door open, peeking in making sure they were in fact awake.

" Hey baby, come in" Michelle called, setting down the book she was reading. She patted the spot between her and Brian on the bed inviting me over, which I gladly accepted. I snuggled in between them laying my head on Brian's chest. I felt Brian lean up a bit as he brushed the hair from my face.

" What's wrong babe?" He asked, I could hear the concern in his voice as he then sat up completely so he could face me. Either he could already tell I was freaking out inside or I didn't answer his question fast enough, alarming him. Michelle was now staring at me too, pitifully. I didn't know exactly why I was so ashamed to tell them of my worry and concern. I guess because the whole thing was my idea and I didn't want them to back out.

" I'm....... I'm just kind of worried about this whole thing. I mean what is Matt going to do when he finds out??" I squeaked as the worst case scenarios played through my head like a silent movie. I could feel Brian's chest shake with laughter which caused me to look up at him raising my eyebrow. I had expected a lot of different reactions, but laughter was not one of them which threw me off guard to say the least.

" Halen don't worry, everything will work out fine. Besides I've known Matt for a long time, he won't do anything stupid enough to jeopardize his career or marriage" Brian said shrugging his shoulders like the whole thing was no big deal. I was speechless, did he forget what Matt did to me a few hours ago?

" he fucking snuck into the house and forced himself on me in the bathroom! Call me crazy but that right there seems pretty fucking vile and bad enough to jeopardize anything!" I yelled, any fear or anxiety I was feeling had now transformed into pure bitter rage. I could still not believe he had just said that. I could see on Michelle's face that she agreed with my whole statement as she began rubbing soothingly on my back in an attempt to calm me. Brian's face dropped in horror as he understood the mental slap In the face he just gave me by his statement.

" Oh god honey I didn't mean it like that, I just meant you don't need to worry about him...... Ah shit you know what I mean baby. Please I'm sorry I didn't mean to down play what happened" he pleaded, taking me tightly into his arms.

" I promise I won't let anything happen" he whispered kissing the top of my head. I could feel my body relax, letting all the anger drain from me as my eye lids fluttered closed.

The next morning I awoke alone in the bed. I could hear Brian and Michele talking down in the kitchen as the aroma of coffee wafted through the house. Their conversation ended abruptly as they became aware of my presence in the kitchen. But I had caught the tail end, I had insisted that the safest way for them to sneak shana out was if I distract Matt. They were both very against the idea, but it was really the only way, wether any if us liked it or not.

" Good morning baby, want some breakfast?" Michelle sweetly asks as I sat at the table with them. I sighed and looked both of them in the eyes.

" I know none of us like my plan with Matt, believe me. But it's the safest way. Just please do it the way we all planned, please" I softly pleaded. I was scared that if they tried to deviate from the plan it would fuck everything up. They both solemnly nodded their heads in agreement. We remained silent until Brian's cell phone rang shaking us all from our daze.

" Hey dude, thanks for calling me back. I wanted to see if we could cash in that rain check for the play date" Brian said putting up a good front. He stayed silent for a moment as Matt spoke on the other end. He winked to us a second later, signaling to us that Matt was down with the idea.

" Alright man well we will see you in a few" Brian hung up and placed his phone on the counter, dropping his head.

" It's show time, lets get ready we gotta leave here in thirty minutes" he groaned as we all headed upstairs to get dressed. Once done I stood staring at myself in the full length mirror in my room. I dressed in nothing but a Pair of red lace panties and bra, letting my long Black hair fall in its natural waves to my waist. All my bruises visible in my barely there attire. As uncomfortable as I felt I knew Matt would love it. I had to be sure that I had his full attention so I could buy Brian and Michelle enough time to get shana out.

" no way! Your not wearing that!" Brian grumbled from my doorway, making me jump. His eyes were burning with jealousy as he eyed my body.

" I have to" I sighed looking away from the mirror. He didn't protest, he knew what I meant and that I was right. He walked away as I followed him out to the garage. We all climbed in the black suv. The ride was silent the whole way as all of our nerves got the better of us. We pulled up and Brian rolled down his window to punch In The security code. The large black iron gate slowly parted allowing us the drive past and pull into the awaiting open garage door. Once inside the garage door shut behind us shielding anyone from seeing me from the outside. My heart leaped into my throat as I saw the door leading into his kitchen from the garage swing open.

" Good morning everyone, and Michelle what a surprise" he smiled as we walked past him into the house. I could tell he was puzzled when he saw Michelle with us, not expecting it. Brian lightly chuckled wrapping his arm around Michelle.

" Well I hope you don't mind Matt. Brian was telling me about shana and I thought maybe today we could trade off, ya know?" The words seductively rolled from her tongue. I was starting to feel relieved that so far everyone was playing it cool and seemed very genuine and not letting on that we had a different motive.

" sounds like a plan to me" Matt said, nodding his head. He fumbled around in his pocket for a moment before tossing a set of keys to Brian.

" She's down in the basement, just remember to lock her back up when your done" he said, like none of that was at all disturbing or wrong. Without another word between us Matt snatched me up tossing me over his shoulder. I closed my eyes tightly while my body swayed side to side as he climbed up the stairs. I heard a door squeak open then he tossed me down onto a huge bed. While he went over to shut and lock the door I quickly looked around seeing that this was his and Val's room. I could tell by the feminine touches around the room as well as the wedding photos of them Perfectly placed around the room. I wondered if she had a hand in any of this, if she knew what her husband did and what he was about to do in their bed. He slowly sauntered his way back to the bed hungrily eyeing me the entire time. He was a lot more gentle this time, he carefully climbed on the bed, hovering over me.

" I knew you would want more baby" he purred positioning himself in between my legs, slowly grinding against me. I just had to play nice and get it over with. I just prayed Brian and Michelle could pull this off in time.


~~~ Brian's pov ~~~

my stomach churned violently as I saw Matt barbarically carrying her up the stairs, knowing exactly what was going to happen. It took everything thing inside of me not to rip his head off. Michelle grabbed my hand, squeezing harder and harder as we watched. I knew this was killing her too, but we had to follow through on our promise to halen. We owed it to her, and our part was a piece of cake compared to what she had to do . I fidgeted with the keys for a moment as we looked around for the basement door, finally finding it and popping the lock open. We froze at the top of the steps as I waved my hand around trying to find the light. I felt a tiny string rub my hand, I pulled it bringing the single bulb to life, illuminating the
bleak basement. I took Michelle's hand as we carefully made out way down the creaking wood steps.

"Oh my god" Michelle gasped out at the sight of shana catching my attention. Her frail frame was shackled to the stone wall in chains. The basement was decorated wall to wall with whips and gags and all other objects that would put a fifteenth century torture chamber to shame. We moved quickly unlocking the rusty metal bracelets from her arms and legs causing her to collapse into my arms like a rag doll. Michelle reached around to shanas neck checking for a pulse, letting out a relieved sigh when she found one. Wasting no time we took her up the stairs peeking around the corner making sure the coast was clear. I cringed as I heard a headboard slamming against the wall along with Matt's groans coming from upstairs. I gritted my teeth, trying to calm my breathing as i took shana out to my truck carefully placing her in the very back. Michelle joined me shortly after carrying crackers and bottled water in her hands, she climbed in the back with shana.

" Go get halen, I'm going to stay here with shana" she said, shooing me off with her hand. I went back in and sat on the couch waiting for them to finish so we could go. I laid my head in my hands trying my best to drown out the noises. I lost track of time when I heard their footsteps coming down the steps.

" So how was it?" Matt asked excitedly. His chest and face glistening with sweat from their romp. I took In a deep breath calming myself once again.

" Well of course I enjoyed it, and Michelle had so much fun she tired herself out. She's resting in the car" I lied wanting to get out of there before I lost my mind.

" Alright dude, we will have to do this again soon" Matt grinned, slapping halen playfully on the ass as we went out to the truck. I was thankful when he didn't follow us out and didn't see shana.

~~~ halens pov ~~~

besides the overwhelming feeling of disgust I had swarming around in me I was grateful and relieved that we did it, we actually did it!! Even though we had pulled it off no one spoke once we got back. Brian carried shana into my room laying her on my bed so she could rest. I took a much needed shower and then went and laid down beside shana.

My eyes sleepily fluttered open fighting to see in the darkness. I felt an overwhelming sense of fear crawling through me, but I didn't know why.
" maybe it was a just a bad dream?" I thought aloud trying to shrug off the eerie feeling. My head snapped to the left when I heard the fimiliar sound of duct tape being pulled from its roll. Before I had time to react I felt the tape pressed firmly over my mouth silencing my screams.

" shhhhhh princess, you'll have plenty of time to scream later. Now lets go" i felt two strong arms lift me up cradling me against his chest. my eyes grew wide in terror when my captor leaned down letting the moonlight hit his face, especially the eerie way his emerald eyes and snakebites sparkled deviously in the soft glow.
