When I entered the house I was greeted with many apologies from Phillis and a glare from William, how odd. I told Phillis that it was alright and that I was fine and that I had bumped into a friend and they had walked me home. Mother greeted me with a smile, she looked very pale and tired and then turned back to the conversation she was having with William. Phillis apologised once more and left me took the melted butter, warm jam and basket from my hand and let my head up to the washroom and freshen up. I had a quick but cold shower and washed the dirt and blood from my hair and face. I wrapped myself in a towel and headed toward my bedroom. My nightgown was spread across my bed neatly with a note underneath. I ducked into my nightgown and picked up the note. It felt light in my hands, the roughness of the paper put my teeth on edge.
My darling Anne,
Thank you for tonight and for that
wonderful kiss, it made my day.
When I left you I couldn't go back home
I had to visit your room, hoping you were there
but sadly you were not.
I hope to see you soon Anne.
- Sebastian
My heart yearned to be with Sebastian again if only I had said yes earlier. I grabbed my sketchbook and a pencil and started drawing. At first, it looked like just a bunch of scribbles but later it transformed into something Ludacris. It was Sebastian but as an angel. He was rising out of a lake, bright white wings dripping with water and were spread out across the lake he was rising from. The strange thing was I drew him with devil horns and blood dripping from his mouth and down his shirt.

I threw my book down in horror but quickly picked it back up again stared at it. The drawing itself was beautiful but something about it was horrifying. Suddenly there was a knock at my door. It was Mother.
"Hey sweetheart, Phillis and I are just going to go for a nice walk, we will be back in an hour"
"Alright, have a nice walk then" Before Mother left, she paused and opened her mouth to say something and then closed it. She had a puzzled look on her face and as quickly as it came it left.
"Oh, William is staying the night and he will be home with you while Phillis and I are out"
"Okay" I replied bluntly.
"I can tell him to go home if you like" Mother frowned. She didn't like the idea of sending William home.
"Mother, it is absolutely fine"
"Are you sure?" She asked sheepishly.
"Yes, I am very sure" Mother smiled and walked out of the room. I flopped back down onto my bed and laid there going over the moment I had with Sebastian over and over again. When he had kissed me I thought I had been dreaming but no, it was real, it wasn't my mind playing tricks on me. I heard Mother and Phillis say goodbye to William as they left, Mother sounded very cheerful but Phillis, she sounded a bit on edge. Once the door closed William made his way upstairs, probably to use the bathroom. I rolled over onto my stomach and fell off the bed. I hit the floor with a loud thump, but thankfully William hadn't come in. I grabbed the wet towel off of my bed and placed it over the chair in my bedroom. I sat back down on the bed and decided to read but my peace was quickly disturbed. William stood in the doorway, without saying a word. He walked into my room and shut the door behind him with and evil grin glued to his face.
"Can I help you, William?" I asked but William just kept grinning, keeping his eyes locked on me. He slowly crept over to my bed and ran his hand along with the covers.
"Can I help you?" I repeated. William just laughed and tugged on my nightgown. My heart raced, what was happening? William slid his hand over my bare leg and under my nightgown. I kicked and flailed and tried to get free of him but William had a tight grip on my leg with his other hand.
"Anne, Anne, Anne," He said. His voice was deep and cynical.
"Please hold still, this won't take long" He smirked. I stiffened as he reached a place no one had ever touched before, no one but me. Without thinking I slapped William's cheek leaving a red handprint. William let go of my leg and stared at me in anger. I scrambled off of the bed but only to fall backwards and onto the floor. William was too quick, he was already on top of me unbuckling his belt. I tried to scream but he had his hand over my mouth.
"Anne, please hold still," He said, still grinning. I tried to kick out but it was no use. William grabbed me in the same place he had before, I squirmed under his grip but he only gripped harder making me yelp in pain. William just laughed, his pants were already off. Now he tugged for my nightgown but I kept a firm grip on it. I struggled against William but again it was no use, he was much stronger and faster than me. He had taken my nightgown off and stared at my naked body in glee. William still had his hand over my mouth and his other hands pinning my arms above my head on the floor. William bent down over my helpless body and aggressively started kissing my breasts and doing despicable things to my lower half. I screamed out in terror but the noise was muffled and William laughed at my attempt.
"There's no use in screaming, no one will be home for ages, it's just you and me" He breathed. His breath was hot on my face, it smelt of smoke and cigars. I pushed William hard in the chest, he stumbled back hitting his head on the wall. I reached for my nightgown but William had grabbed it before I could. He was smiling evilly, ripping my nightgown to shreds with his bare hands singing, worshipping the devil.
"Oh father, oh satan, oh sun, Let the children come to thee. Behold the morning star, Akephalos. Shine through me. Come forth in war. Come forth in peace" He sang. I scrambled backwards, my bare skin against the wall. My heart was pounding, it felt as if it were about to beat out of my chest. When William had finished ripping the gown he crawled on his hands and knees towards me, like a wolf sneaking up on its meal. William grazed my leg with his hand and brought his hand to my face. He stroked my nose with his index finger and bent down and kissed my glamity. I wriggled and squirmed but it only made William more aggressive. Suddenly my window burst open and in came Sebastian muttering something.
"I know you said no but, I missed you and I knew you would've missed-" Sebastian stared at William with rage, but William hadn't noticed Sebastian come in. I cried out, my scream was blocked. My muffled scream had alarmed William, causing him to look up. When he saw Sebastian he only grinned but this angered Sebastian even more. Sebastian punched William in the face, sending him to the ground. William slowly rose but only to be knocked down again. This time William struck out at Sebastian's legs but missed. William grunted at his failure but while he was distracted Sebastian kicked at William and got him right in the nose. This time when William fell he didn't get back up.
Once I had clothes on, Sebastian cradling me in his arms stroking my hair I had burst out into tears. I tried to tell Sebastian what had happened but I couldn't get the words out but I could show him the bruises William had left behind. Sebastian gently ran his hand over the bruises on my arms and legs and then brought me in close to his chest.
"Is William..." I started. The words came out all wobbly and my throat ached from all the tears.
"Is William what?" Sebastian asked.
"Is he dead?" I sobbed. Sebastian scoffed but then quickly covered it up with a cough.
"No silly, of course he isn't, I just knocked him out"
"But what happens when Mother and Phillis come home?" Sebastian thought about my question for a bit but then quickly answered it.
"I'll put his clothes back on and set him on the couch, make it look like he had fallen asleep there" He smiled. I simply nodded and buried my head into Sebastian's chest. I asked him if he would stay while I slept between sobs. I barley heard Sebastians reply as I was pulled into a deep and soothing sleep.
"Of course, I will stay" He murmured and kissed the top of my head.
