The very next day I was discharged from the hospital. Andrew waited for me at the front desk and was already discharging me. When we left the hospital he offered to take me home and I accepted. Although, carrying me wasn't necessary. 

"I can walk on my own, Andrew. You don't have to carry me." I said as I was on his back, carrying me piggy back style. 

"It's the least I can do. Besides, you're not that heavy." Andrew said as he smiled at me. 

"Really?" I blink. 

"Really. You're as light as a feather. Also, it's better this way." 

"How?" 

"Because I enjoy carrying you." He said. "I bet you're hungry since the hospital food isn't as great, huh?" 

"The hospital food was okay." I shrug my shoulders. 

"By the way. Let me ask you something." 

"Go ahead." I look at Andrew curiously. 

"Is it possible to become or turn somebody into a Witch?" He didn't look back at me when he asked this question. 

"I don't know... But I was born a witch." 

"What about your parents?" 

"I hardly remember them now. But they meant well. There is a difference in becoming a witch and being born one. But you have to learn the abilities. Some magic can be different depending on the user's nature." 

"Like how you're into music." 

"Exactly." I nodded. "We're here." I informed Andrew that we arrived at my house. As always, the door was unlocked and Andrew set me down when we walked inside. "I'm going to take a shower, okay?" 

"That's fine. I'll make you something to eat while you're at it." He said back. 

"Are you sure it's not too much trouble?" 

"It's not that hard. Now go." 

I went upstairs to my bedroom and into the bathroom to get myself cleaned up. After running the water and stripping down from my clothes, I stepped inside the shower and pulled the curtain. 

The warm water felt very nice on my skin. I washed my hair and my body while closing my eyes. This feels very nice... 

As I was showering, I felt a light breeze from outside of the curtain, causing me to open my eyes. "Andrew?" I called out his name and there was no answer. 

Just as I was about to open the curtain, I am quickly pinned against the wall with both of my wrist above my head. I grunt in pain before opening my eyes to see the man from last night. 

"Andr-mmphf!" Before I could call for Andrew, he covered my mouth. 

"It's good to see you again, my sweet Melody." He smirked. I shut my eyes tightly as I struggled. But it was no use. His strength was inhuman. "Did you enjoy our encounter last night?~ Because I did, my sweet Melody~" 

"Mm..." I whimpered out and shut my eyes as his hands roamed all over my body. Just like last night... 

He was still clothed and I don't think he cared about the water hitting him. 

"I have to say. What are you doing with that boy? What is your relationship with him?" He removed his hand from my mouth, allowing me to speak. 

"...." 

"Tell me, love." He leaned in closer, tightening his grip. 

I whimpered and answered, "That's none of your business... Why should I tell you?" 

His expression changed to anger and he punched me in the stomach, causing me to to cough up a bit of blood. Then he pinned me down in the tub. 

"It is my business because you are mine. I'd be careful with the words you choose to say next. Or else there will be consequences. Or do I have to punish you?" 

"Pl-Please no..." I whimpered. 

"Very good." 

"...Why haven't you turned me in yet if you're with the others?..." I spoke out. 

"Because I wanted to take my time with you. To hold you..." He grabbed my waist and pulled me closer to him. "To kiss you..." He began kissing my neck. "To have you all to myself..." He whispered in my ear. 

I shuttered as he did this and I kept my eyes shut the whole time. "Please stop!" With every bit of my strength, I kicked him off and quickly grabbed my robe and ran out the bathroom. 

Just as I was about to put my hand on the bedroom door knob, the man grabbed my wrist and threw me onto my bed. I landed on my stomach and I felt him climb into bed, hovering over me. 

"You're only asking to be punished again, my dear. Although I wouldn't mind going for another round with you~" He whispered huskily in my ear and I shut my eyes again. 

"N-No... Please, don't..." I whimpered. "Who are you?..." 

"I am Claude Faustus." He told me before kissing my neck and covering my mouth so that I wouldn't scream. Moments later, 

"Melody! What's wrong!?" Andrew was banging on the door and it was locked. Claude glared at the door before looking back at me. His last words were, 

"This isn't over." Before vanishing out of the room. I quickly got out of bed and unlocked the door, then hugged Andrew tightly. 

He hugged back tightly while he looked around the room. "I heard you screaming. Are you okay? You're shaking..."  

"H-He was here... The man from last night..." I said. 

"Where is he?! Where did he go?!" He shouted, holding me tighter. 

"N-No, don't..." I look up at him while wiping my tears. "Please... Forget about it..." 

I hear him click his tongue out of anger as he said, "That's it. You're coming to my house. I don't feel safe with you being here now that bastard knows where you live now." 

"What? But I-" 

"No buts. I don't want to hear it. Pack your clothes and whatever you can carry. You're staying at my place for a bit." 

I don't get why he was doing this. He didn't have to. But doing what as I was told, I grabbed my luggage and packed my clothes, music sheets, and my guitar. 

"You won't be gone from your house for that long. Just until I know it's safe for you to go home." He explains to me as he takes my luggage. 

"Okay." I nodded my head. 

"Good. Let's go."
