said to him as he stopped and looked back at me.
    “For what?”
    “For bringing me here,” I said and he nodded and left us alone in the room.
    “Beth, what were you doing?” Ryan asked me. I shook my head and then looked into his eyes.
    “Learning to defend myself.”
    “We have all the fucking money in the world, if you want to defend yourself just tell me to hire some fuck to come to the house and teach you some stuff.”
    “I wanted to go out Ryan. Into the world.”
    Ryan touched my hair and then ran the back of his hand along my cheek, I moved slightly to break the connection and he sighed and stood up.
    “Well if you don’t give a shit about your own safety then think of the boys , Beth. It would be nice if they don’t have to bury you.”
    I looked up at him as he stared at me and nodded to him.
    “I am sorry, things just got a little out of control.”
    “I would say so Beth.”
    The doctor stepped towards me and grinned.
    “The MRI shows no damage at all to your brain , Mrs. Bittermend, you are free to go home. I will have a nurse come in and help you get dressed and remove the IV.”
    “Okay, ” I said as Ryan watched him leave us alone. He then turned back to me.
    “I don’t want you to see him again , Beth.”
    “Mani?” I asked him and he nodded to me.
    “I am not asking you, I am telling you. He is not good for you at all and I don’t think I have to remind you of what he is and who we are.”
    I laughed as the nurse entered the room and stepped up to my IV. I looked down at the needle and pulled it out of my arm myself as I hissed. She placed a cotton ball on it quickly and watched me as if I was crazy.
    “I do not take orders from you , Ryan. You are not my father.”
    He walked to the door and then stopped and turned back to me.
    “Then stop making me feel like it, Beth,” he said and with that he left me alone in the room.

    “That is badass,” Zoey said as she looked through the telescope and saw the moon. It looked so large to her she was amazed it could be floating in the sky. She then turned to see August staring out over the valley and ignoring the stars all together.
    “What is it?” she asked him and he turned to her and said nothing.
    “August?” she said again and he finally spoke.
    “What if the Moon started to move closer to us Zoey and we knew the end was coming?” he asked her and she looked up at the sky and shook her head.
    “I mean it’s not, so what is the point of guessing?” she asked him.
    “I just wonder what people would do, I mean would they go crazy and kill…woul d they fuck anyone they could? Would they curl up in a ball and cry or perhaps they would kill themselves to avoid it all,” he said and she watched him as he looked up at the Moon too.
    “I am not afraid to die,” s he said and he looked at her.
    “Oh I know that , I am not afraid to die either,” he added and she smiled at him.
    “Really? ”
    “No, why would I be? ” August said as he shrugged his shoulders.
    She stepped up to him and grinned as she undid his belt and slid it off of him. She snapped it in front of him and he watched her closely.
    “Lay down,” she whispered to him and he did as she climbed on top of him and slipped the belt around his neck, he held his hands up at first but she tilted her head and he relaxed as she tightened it onto his neck and wound the other end around her hand. She then reached down between them and undid his pants and grabbed his cock into her hand as he moaned a bit. She slid her panties aside and slid his erect cock up into herself as she bit her lip and held onto the belt tightly. She wrapped it around her hand a couple more times and jerked on it. It tightened on his neck and he opened his mouth as it hurt and started to cut off his air. She rotated her hips slowly at first and then she sat up and placed one hand on his chest and started to ride him as quickly as she could. She pulled the belt as tight as she could as she
