Ashley headed straight down the hall taking a quick right heading towards her fathers recording studio, of all the times her father could of picked to go on tour he chose the day his only daughter was unsuspectingly going to be hunted down in her own house by her crazy soon to be ex-boyfriend that was if she survived.

Peyton had lost sight of Ashley he looked around the room he was currently in practically frothing at the mouth as he spotted the shinning gold letter opener smiling as sick thoughts travelled through his mind he knew exactly what he was going to do when he found his un-faithful girlfriend.

Ashley ran through her father’s studio into the great hall her eyes set on her front door her means of escape, Peyton saw Ashley heading for the great hall; heading her off he stepped right in front of her path in which Ashley didn’t have enough time to change direction.

Ashley came to a immediate halt as she was knocked backwards as she ran into Peyton who had his feet firmly planted to the floor so the collision didn’t affect him unlike Ashley how was now on her hands and knees trying to crawl away, Peyton bought down the letter opener swiftly upon Ashleys lower back slicing the flesh an inch or two in depth.

The brunette screamed in pain as she felt the knife like object slice her skin, she fell flat to the floor, Peyton let out a menacing laugh as he listened to Ashleys cries of pain, he went for a second strike but this strike never landed because again Belle was there to protect the love of her life.

The dark haired heroine flung herself at her murderous brother going for the weapon which he was wielding again they wrestled on the floor fighting this time for the knife.

Peyton flipped Belle over straddling her waist he directed the knife towards Belles neck putting his all into trying to stab his sister, Belle held Peyton’s wrists attempting to hold off the nearing point of the knife from reaching her neck.

Just then four police officers came bursting through the door two of which ran to Ashley’s aid trying to stop the excessive bleeding, one of the officers at the door ran back to the squad car calling for an ambulance leaving the last officer who was handling a white German shepherd to take on Peyton.

Officer1: Ghost disarm!

The officer commanded the dog whilst pointing at Peyton, Ghost ran full speed at Peyton jumping at him as his strong jaw latched on to Peyton’s shoulder causing him to release the knife screaming as he was dragged off of Belle by the dog who had no intention of letting go till instructed to do so.

Peyton tried punching the dog but it only caused Ghost to shake her head and tighten her hold which had all ready broken the skin of his shoulder “get this fucking thing off me” Ghost growled, the officer came back from the squad car in time to help the dog handler restrain a now howling Peyton “Ghost release” the dog did as it was commanded letting go of Peyton, she backed away as the handler twisted Peyton’s arms back painfully as he cuffed him.

End of Flashback

Ashley finally looked into Spencers eyes as she finished “that’s all I remember I black out then from blood loss” tears threatened to spill over as she forced herself to remember her nightmare and this was the first time she had ever told anybody about what happened that day. Ashley lifted her night shirt up revealing a long scar reaching from left to right, Spencer gently traced the scare with her pointer finger she too had tears in her eyes.

Spencer reached out wrapping her arms securely around Ashleys crying form “oh Ash” she rubbed comforting circles on Ashley’s back rocking her girlfriend lovingly “come on lets get some sleep ok” Ashley only nodded as Spencer wiped away any stray tears with the pads of her thumb.

The two girls clambered back under the covers into similar positions but with a role reversal, it was Spencers turn to comfort her girlfriend.

That night Spencer vowed that while she lived and breathed no harm would come to Ashley, Spencer held on to Ashley protectively loving the feel of the brunette in her arms and finally she had all the pieces of Ashleys past now all that was left was to piecing them together.
