Runaway thief...

We stopped laughing, and I looked in to his face. It was silent for a second until her held out his hand to pull me up. I took it and was immediately lifted back on to the bed, next to him. I smiled, and he smiled back. He looked so much sweeter and handsome when he wasn't frowning, or being angry. I dropped the smile, and got up, not daring to fall in to a stare with those green eyes.

"You leaving already?" I nodded. "But it's still raining". "I know but I like walking home in the rain" I lied. "Right, so your gonna purposely get my shirt wet, to get back at me for making you wear it" "NO, it's just I'm feeling hot and bothered and I need to cool down". "Are you feeling ill again" "Yeah a bit but I'm sure it's nothing". He frowned "I'm not so sure it's 'nothing' Kaila, you've been feeling ill a lot recently, and it's always the same thing" "What are you trying to say Harry". I shuddered at his name, bringing back memories of the night before. "I'm saying that there might be something up with your health". I looked down at him confused, was he saying that I may have some sort of disease.

I rolled my eyes, and made for the door. "Kaila dont ignore me, it may be something serious". I spun around angrily. "There's nothing wrong with my health, I'm fine, it's just the heat!". He rolled of the bed, and stood up. "Listen I dont care if your worried about appearing weak in front of me, but you cant just push something like an illness to the side, especially when you've fainted twice because of it". My mouth dropped open, I knew what he had said was right, but where had he got an idea of me looking weak. "What do you mean look weak in front of you, I dont care what you think of me" I lied again. "Dont lie to me, everyone knows that your the girl who never cries, never says some things up, or even admits to being ill" "Stop talking about me as if I've got some kind of terrible disease!!" "But you may have got some 'terrible disease', Midnight!".

Silence fell, he had never called me midnight before. I didn't care I was more confused about why he cared so much about my health. "Why do you care any way Harry!!!". I shouted as I backed up against his wardrobe. "Because.....because......". I calmed down, what was he trying to say. It didn't matter I'd had enough. "Harry I appreciate you looking out for me, but I'm fine I promise". He looked up, his growing wider and wider. "Look I think it would do us both some good if we just didn't talk any-more, your right we only ever fight when were together". He stood in silence, looking down at his feet.

I walked out closing the door behind me. For some reason I felt sorry, and like I had done something wrong, but what? I said goodbye to his Mum, and opened the door, the rain still pouring down. As I stepped out I was immediately soaked. The cool rain felt good on my skin, and the sound calmed me.

Suddenly a car pulled up next to Harry's house, and someone familiar walked out. I stared in to his face, puzzled over the familiarity of his figure. Then it hit me, I did know who it was. It was Daniel! (the guy from the care home who gave her the scars, if you didn't remember) I stood completely still as he walked up to me, slowly getting closer and closer. I was frozen to the spot helpless to do anything but stare in to his face. It was him, I recognised the sad eyes glimmering inside his face. However now he had grown, and was so much bigger and looked tougher than before.

"Hello Midnight, how are you?", he walked up to me, and wrapped his bear arms around me, fear trembling through me, but I was determined not to let it show. He felt his arms up my back, knowing he was remembering the scars. "Still got those then" he said completely un-fazed. "Yep, even after all these years, your still imprinted on me" "Ha I know that was partly the intention when I did it, also to punish you for being a right bitch to me" "What was it I did again, oh yeah I think it had something to with stealing a few chips, or writing my name on your homework". He frowned knowing I was taking the piss out of him. "Mmm, so tell me how are you now?". "Fine" "Who's house is that?" "My friends" knowing full well that sounded really fake. "You know I always had the gift of telling whether you were lying of not Midnight". He said circling me, like a lion. "oh" "yeah and I know your lying now, so I'll ask again, who lives there? it better not be your boyfriend". What the hell since when was he interested with me having a boyfriend. "NO it's not, like I said it's my friends house".

He stood staring deeply in to my eyes, his dark brown ones giving a dark and scary impression. "all-right then I'll'll believe you for now, but now tell me where you live, you lied to me so I'm going to have to punish you in some way". Dread flooded through me, picturing him whipping me again, or even worse raping me. I pushed the thought away, and thought of anyway I could escape his glare. I looked around my eyes darting in all directions, searching for an escape route. I considered hitting him, but I forgot that as I remembered how much harder he would whip me when he caught me again. I couldn't' bare that, or I think I would brake down and die.

-----Harry's POV------

I glanced out the window as this man walked towards Kaila. They were talking calmly, but it looked as though Kaila was scared. She was never scared of anything, or anyone. So how come this man had such a hold over her. I watched intently worried for her, as he circled her, like an angry animal. Her hands went behind her back, almost protecting it.

Then a shocking and scary thought popped in to my head. Could he be the one who gave her those scars. He looked strong enough, to give some really harsh deep blows, just like the scars covering her back. I backed away from the window trying to ignore it, after what she had suggested before. 'I think it's best if we just dont talk any-more', the words echoing in my ears. A loud shout came from outside, and I immediately returned to where I was standing before. Kaila, was crouched on the floor, holding her cheek. The redness flooding the rest of her face, and yet no tears.

I ran downstairs, pushed the door open. "Oh look Midnight heres your boyfriend, I knew you were lying to me". He turned to face me, frowning as I shouted at him "Oi you leave her the fuck alone". "ooh he's a mouthy one isn't he Mid, just like you". He was a similar build to me, and thankfully I had the advantage of being slightly taller. I stood looking down at him a bit, and asked him to leave. "Leave now, before I make you". The man moved back, pretending to be frightened, then came back with a punch just missing my face, as I ducked.

I swung a punch to his cheek, and hit. However it wasn't the most powerful, and so it hadn't done much. If anything it had made him angrier. He threw more and more punches, each of them sloppy, and yet hitting me hard. He was strong, but I hadn't given up yet. Blood was now staining his face, and shirt, along with the blood pouring from his nose and mouth. Kaila, desperately pulled at his arms screaming "Daniel get of him now". Blood was now covering her slowly, ruining my shirt., but she didn't care. Still no tears.

He pushed her down on to the floor, but she was straight back up hitting his back. I could see he was slowly cracking, and the pain from either side was bringing him down. I threw one final, punch, with all my might. It hit him right on the jaw, no doubt breaking it, and with that he fell on the floor. I stood back, tripping a bit, but Kaila steadied me. We looked down at him, and I could see the anger in his eyes. "Ha, you think this is over Midnight, and whatever your name is, but I will find you, and dont worry Kaila, those marks will be deeper next time we meet". So he had been the one who had given her the scars. Just the sight of him sickened me, and not just because he was covered in blood, and purple bruises.

------Kaila's POV-----

I stood back next to Harry, his muscles still flexed, ready to hit again, just in case. I didn't stand to close to him, as seeing him like that, so full of anger and the need to hurt, frightened me a bit. But his arms soon came around me, pulling me closer to his chest. As Daniel walked away, the terror of when I may see him again filled me right to the brim. I was so close to bursting out in panic and tears that I wrapped my arms around Harry, and pulled myself closer. His warmth at once bringing me to ease. For the first time I needed him, I needed someone, anyone who could make me feel safer, and at this point Harry was my only option.

Didn't expect Daniel making an appearance, did you?

Or expect Harry to be so brave, and caring towards a girl he knows doesn't like him!

I wonder what the two of them are going through, especially with how they feel for one another?
