Helena's P.O.V.

"I'm ready to collect what you owe me for saving your life Princess. Know that I always collect what is due to me." and with that he traces the outer shell of my ear with his long warm tongue. Crap.

Gasping in surprise by his action I step back again, unfortunately hitting the wall. Just my luck.

"Excuse me? What do you mean I owe you?" asking with widened eyes at him. He is joking right?

With another step forward the stranger places his hand against the wall next to my head. "I did not stutter Princess. I was the one who stopped those fuckers from raping you. I am your 'Savior' as you called me before you passed out in my arms. I do believe I deserve a payment for my acts of chivalry. Don't you think?" the touch from him tracing my cheek with his finger sends chills down my spine.

"What?" I say loudly moving my face away from his touch. He seriously must be kidding me.

"You.Owe.Me.Because.I.Saved.You." enunciating each word like I am slow.

"I am not slow. I just do not understand why I owe you for helping me get two sick bastards off me when they were about to rape me. The only thing I owe you is my thanks." Huffing I step away from him to leave until he grabs my arm pulling me back against the wall.

"No one walks away from me Princess. The sooner you learn the better it will be for you. Now, like I was saying. My payment?"

Shaking my head in disbelief I stay quiet for a few seconds. "Whatever happened to just doing something kind for a stranger without receiving anything in return? Knowing that you actually made a difference in that stranger's life." I whisper then sigh.

Looking up at him with watery eyes I look deep into his gray eyes "You do not know what you did for me Saturday night. The fact that I almost got raped by two drunken guys I have never met which could have killed me after. I was terrified and I did not want my first..." cutting myself off I stop talking, not needing to tell him I am still a virgin.

Taking a deep breath, I continue. "...you saved me, and I know I will never, ever forget what you did for me. I will be forever thankful for your act of kindness. So, thank you, thank you, thank you for not making me become another victim. Even though they still did --."

"Did those motherfuckers penetrate you?" he grits through his teeth taking me by surprise, his whole demeanor changing.

Not wanting to respond I just look down to the ground, but he lifts my chin up to look at him.

"Answer.Me. Did they penetrate you in any way?" gritting again he moves my hair aside to inspect my cheek which is still black and blue.

Feeling defeated I nod my head yes. I look away from the shame and because I do not want to look at his angry face. Hearing him mutter profanities under his breath he then slams his hand forcefully on the wall next to my head making me flinch.

"I swear to you, those two will get what is coming to them. What I did to them on Saturday will be nothing compared to what I will do if I ever see them again." he grits.

I am still confused to why he would be mad. He and I have never seen or met each other before that night, so I do not see the reason for him to be pissed off like he is.

"I have to go. My boyfriend must be wondering where I am." I say stepping to leave.

Grabbing my forearm, he stops me. "We are not done yet Princess. I will get --."

"Helena?"

Snapping my head up I see a confused Ethan standing at the end of the corridor. The guy holding me does not let go of my arm and just turns and stares at Ethan with no expression.

"Ethan. I was just heading ba --."

"What are you doing to my girlfriend?" Ethan asks stepping forward staring down at his hand on my arm.

"I was having a private conversation with your girlfriend. Do you mind?" the stranger says bored still not letting go.

"Yeah, I do mind. Especially if you have your hand on her." Ethan snaps taking another step towards me. Oh, this does not look good.

Straightening his back up he lets go of my arm now to face Ethan. "I suggest you watch what you say to me kid. You do not know who the fuck you are talking to." he tells him calmly.

"I know who I am talking to, and I could not care less who the fuck you are. You are man handling my girl."

The guy chuckles. "Your girl, is she? Do you know your girl was almost..." he begins to say but I jumped in. Ethan does not know what happened to me and I do not want this cocky jerk blurting it out.

"Ethan, just, just drop it alright. This is all just a misunderstanding. He has me confused for someone else. Come on babe, let's go eat." I plead taking his hand in mine to pull him away. The last thing Ethan needs is to start anything with a member of a gang, especially when there are more sitting down in the dining area.

"Helena." my eyes narrow to him pleading when he warns me.

"Babe, please. It's no big deal." Trying my best to reassure him. Giving in he simply sighs then cups my face with both hands.

"Fine, I'll drop it. Just for you, I love you." Not happy about he then kisses me.

"I love you too. Come on." I pull his hand so we can leave but not before Mr. Scary says...

"This is not over Princess, and kid, watch your back. You don't know what you just started."

Ethan looks at him cocking his brow pulling me away to go sit down to eat. I really do not have a good feeling about what just happened.

**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Thirty minutes later we finish eating and get ready to leave. Ethan questioned me about what he saw in the corridor the second I got next to him. I had to make up a lie which I hated doing, but that jerk almost told him what happened. I am not ready to tell him yet.

While Ethan says goodbye to his friends, I feel eyes on me. Turning my head slowly I am met with cold steel eyes staring at me. Plus, nine more pairs. I glance at all of them nervously. All they do is stare back with no emotion. Why are they looking at me like that?

"Ready to go baby girl?" Ethan asks snapping me back to reality. Nodding my head, I fake a smile.

"Yes, I am." glancing back at their table Ethan follows my stare back at them.

Grunting, he takes my hand. The table where the Skullz sit all now glare at Ethan. Especially the one that had cornered me earlier. I still do not know his name.

Ethan sighs in aggravation then turns to look at me. "Let's go." wrapping his arm around my waist protectively he leads us out the door. Before we could leave though, we hear him shout from behind us.

"This is not over! We will meet again!"

Why the hell is he saying that?

After leaving the diner Ethan stays quiet for most of the ride home. I know he must be wondering what was going on and why all the sudden a member of the Skullz is talking to me and threatening him. Hell if I know what he wants from me. Why would he say I owed him for saving me?

The next morning Ethan picked me up for school since I was not going to ask Tatiana for one. Grabbing my things out of my locker Ethan walks me to first period like he always does.

The morning passed by quickly which I was happy about. Already being time for lunch I gather my things to meet up with Ethan until some guy comes up to me.

"Helena."

"Yes?" I have seen him around school except I really do not know him.

"I have a message from Ethan. He told me to tell you to meet him on the side of the school by the football field."

Finding it strange I raise my eyebrows in question. He would have texted me. "Oh, why didn't he text me?"

"Umm, he said his phone ran out of battery that is why he sent me to tell you. We just had class together." Explaining the reason.

"Alright, thanks." grabbing my bag I head down the hallway towards the back exits that lead to the field. It is about a five-minute walk.

"I wonder why Ethan had asked me to meet him outside?"

Opening the door leading to the side of the school I go straight to the bleachers. There is no one outside yet. Looking around for Ethan I suddenly feel two arms wrap around my waist tightly from behind startling me.

"Ethan, you scared me babe." I giggled pressing my back further into his chest. He does not say a word.

His warm breath fans my skin sending chills down my spine when he leans down closer to my neck. Soft lips attach to my flesh nipping at it between his teeth. Tenderly kissing it after.

"Mmm, Ethan." he stops and chuckles when I moan. Wait? What?

"Glad I can make you moan without hardly trying. Though next time I make you moan, you will be calling out the name Kane. Not your so-called boyfriend's name." the voice whispers in my ear. WHAT THE HELL?

Turning around quickly I am faced with amused gray eyes smirking at me. "You?" yelling out in shock.

"Hello, princess. Miss me?" he asks taking a step towards me with a devilish grin.

"Wh-- what are you doing here? Where is Ethan?" demanding an answer as I look around the area for any sign of Ethan.

The step towards me that he takes stops an inch away from me. "I don't know where your fuck boy is and seriously do not give a shit either. I do know you know why I'm here."

"To pay your debt for saving me. I cannot believe you want me to pay. I am not rich, and I do not own anything. What exactly do you want?" my tone frustrated. If he thinks I will give him money, he is sadly mistaken. I have none.

Like if I said a joke, he laughs at me shaking his head. Lifting his hand, he cups the side of my face bringing me closer to him. "That is not what I want."

Realization at what he is implying hits me when I study his face. "You -- you want me to have sex with you?"

He raises his eyebrow. "No princess. At least not yet, even though I would not mind it." biting his bottom lip his eyes peruse my body from head to toe.

"Then what -- what do you want from me?" quietly asking not wanting to know his response.

Lowering his head down he speaks into my ear "You Princess. All I want is you."

Gulping I shudder. Ugh. Why me?
