Chapter 1

The mall was silent for the most part as the night seemed to have kept many
in their beds. The day was breaking and so far, only one person seemed to have
awakened. She sat in the darkness of the café and tried to think of what
could have brought her awake so early he mhe morning. It would be hours before
the rest of the Mallrats woke up. There was nothing for her to do so in silence
she stood and walked quietly, shutting down the alarm before she walked out
of the mall and sat down just outside the entrance.

There was something unsettling out here. She couldn't help but feel it and
notice it. For the last week she had felt this, like something was watching
and waiting. She stood up and prepared to return to the Mall when she felt someone
grab her suddenly from behind. She had time to scream once, "Help!!!!!"
A gag was stuffed in her mouth and a blindfold placed over her eyes.

Hands dragged her roughly away from the mall, unseeing she had no idea what
was happening as she was suddenly lifted off her feet and handed off to other's.
She was inside some transport, she figured from the sound of the running engine.
A hand touched her breast, another squeezed her backside. She felt a mouth run
over her neck and cried out against the gag in her throat.

Her mind made the realization that she was about to be raped. She felt her
tears begin to soak the blindfold as her shirt was ripped open and a knife edge
slid over her chest slowly. She tried to get her arms free but they were being
held down. Suddenly, she was pushed down on the ground of the transport just
as she felt it start moving.

Her breathing became more rapid and she tried to move her legs and arms, twisting
as much as she could when she felt a hand move over her upper thigh. A voice
spoke roughly, "I told you that she would be a wild one."

Another voice, a woman's spoke, "Yes, she'll certainly provide the boss
with some fantastic entertainment."

Again, she tried to cry out and the knife was placed to her throat as the guy
spoke again, "Don't worry. We're not going to do anything more then touch
you. The boss wants you for himself." She felt the nails of the woman glide
over her skin and felt disgust. Something was thrown over her and she was lifted
again when the transport pulled to a stop.

She was carried inside some building and placn son some sort of a bed that
from what she could tell doubled as a chair of some sort. Her arms were strapped
down, then her legs. The knife that had been running over ski skin, or one like
it slid down over her stomach until it reached the band of her skirt and she
listened as her skirt was cut off. Feminine laughter sounded, "Even after
the virus she wears underwear." The woman sounded amused.

Before she knew it she felt air touching all of her skin and she was bared
to the sight of anyone that was around. The gag was removed and she took a moment
to catch her breath before asking, "Why are you doing this to me?"

No answer came. In fact the room was silent. She began feeling her heart pound
as she worried about what was going to happen next. She heard a door open and
close and listened intently for any sound to indicate whether she was alone
or not. "Please, why are you doing this? Let me go!"

"Tai-San, you are not going anywhere until I say so." A new voice
said, it was male that was for sure. The coldness in his voice sent shivers
down her spine.

"Please, please don't dis tis to me!" She cried, having never felt
so out of control before. She didn't receive a response to her cry in words,
rather felt a hand gliding gently over her neck, slowly sliding down over her
skin until the hand reached her bare breast and began caressing nippnipple.
She felt her body respond and suddenly she knew that he was going to do this
until she couldn't find the will to say no.

"Stop!" She cried and tried to move her body away from him. His lips
covered hers and she bit down on his lip until she tasted blood.

"You little bitch." She felt his hand slam into her face and saw
white spots behind the blindfold. The pain taking away the sensation of pleasure
he had invoked with his touch.

"Don't touch me!" She screamed and his hand on her chest gripped
her painfully causing her to wince and cry out in pain.

"I could have been gentle, but you've given me no choice." He told
her.

Suddenly, his touch was gone and he was silent. She drew in a sharp breath,
wondering what was happening. Her fear building until she could feel her heart
beating as though it would burst through her chest. She was afraid to even breath.

She cried out as she felt a knife slice into her side, the slices were repeated
along her side, arms and legs. Each one causing her to cry out and cringe in
pain.

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

A couple of days had passed and still no one in that mall had any idea of where
to find Tai-San. She had been there one night and gone the next morning and
Lex was concerned even though they weren't together anymore. He had been considering
seeing if they could work things out even though she had been unhappy about
him being with Siva.

Everyone in the mall hagun gun asking around the city after her, but only one
of the Mallrats had come to the conclusion that mattered. Pride had found her
necklace on the ground outside the mall, the clasp broken. He had informed the
other's that he thought she had been kidnaped and then shown them why he thought
that was the case. The only question was why had she been outside and why was
the alarm off in the mall when they'd awakened that morning.

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

Tai-San was still strapped down, the blindfold in place. Her body was bruised
and she sported cuts and lashes on both her back and the front of her. The guy
had raped her repeatedly and beaten her. The woman had taken pleasure in having
her chained up and using a whip on her back and sides.

She heard the door open and instantly cried out in fear. "You're going
home now Tai-San." The guy said and she felt herself sigh before she tensed.

"Why? Why would you do all of this to me and then release me?" She
asked quietly, fear and mistrust in her voice.

"Don't worry about my reasons, only know that a time will come when I
will possess you again." He told her as he released her legs and arms.
The blindfold was removed and she squinted against the sudden light. When she
was able to focus, his face was hidden behind a mask. He held clean clothes
out and said simply, "I'm goin hel help you dress and then we're going
to drop you off."

She looked into his nearly black eyes and nodded. She couldn't have stood if
she wanted to. She tried to sit up and cried out, laying back down. Other people
came into the room and they helped sit her up long enough to roughly put a shirt
on her. Then they lifted her and placed a skirt around her. Her shoes were placed
on her feet and they blindfolded her again.

It was a short while later that she was pushed out of the transport and removed
the blindfold to see that she was right in front of the mall. She tried to push
herself to her feet, but found that she couldn't. It was near dawn and she hoped
that someone would be awake. Pulling herself along she moved into the entrance
and listened as the alarm went off in the mall. She had basically crawled to
where she could see inside the grille. "Help!" She cried weakly forcing
herself not to pass out just yet.
