Assault

~ IVY ~

I watched as mom entered the mall with a lunch box in her hands.

"Eat this in your break time and call me if you feel sick again, Okay?” She told me as she dropped it right in front of me.

I sighed as I grabbed the lunch box.

I wished I could tell her about everything happening to me right now,but I can't.

I just can't.

I remembered the message I received last night.

[Unknown number: The life of your loved ones depends on how good you behave baby girl, Think before opening your pretty little mouth]

At this point I grew tired of blocking all the numbers he texted me with, I was already completely drained.

I had no choice!

I had to stay quiet, because I didn't want my mom get involved.

She would be worried.

After she left I sat down to eat, and tended to customers for the time being. I clocked out early because I couldn't think straight, good thing Yvonne volunteered to cover up for me.

Instead of going home.

I went to the park!

I sat on my favorite spot by the lake as I took a deep breath.

"Why? Why me?"

I got no answer.

I was mentally and physically drained, I just sat there and watched little kids play.

I was so absorbed in the scenery that I didn't realize it was almost night.

" Oh lord! It's 8:30 PM right now" I checked my phone as I stood up quickly walking out of the park.

The park would be closed by 9:00 so I had to leave right now.

8:30 PM was not that late but the road from this park was sort of lonely and almost abandoned.

I was walking outside humming to myself when I noticed someone following me.

I turned around only to see a drunk man with a bottle in his hand walking behind me.

I decided to ignore him.

I started walking a little faster praying he was not following me and I was just being paranoid.

"hey beautiful", I heard his voice as I noticed he was now matching my pace walking beside me.

I didn't answer him.

I just want to get home safely.

My instincts kicked in a little bit late.

I tried to run but he grabbed me by the wrist.

I let out a shriek trying to push him away.

He was drunk but too strong for me.

His hands felt like steel, piercing into my skin.

"Come on, don't be a brat! Maybe we should have some fun" he nobbled my ear pushing me on the ground.

My eyes widened as I fell on some dry twigs of the trees.

He sat on my legs pinning my hands above my head.

Terror washed over me.

"Somebody help" I screamed.

"Scream all you want! No one will help you darling. "

He started undoing his belt.

Tears filled my eyes slowly.

"Please I beg you, don't do this. Please" I pleaded while sobbing.

I didn't want to get raped by a drunk man.

To be fair, anyone at all!

I don't...

I continuously struggled.

But before I could process everything, someone punched the man so hard that he fell on the ground.

My heart was filled with relief.

I looked up to see who had saved me.

To see the angel that came to rescue me.

It was Peter!

How…..?

"How dare you!" His tone was calm, but I could tell he was absolutely furious.

He grabbed the man by the collar and punched him continuously.

I stood up trembling as I tried to stop him before he could do worse but I heard....

*BANG*

I fell with a thud again.

He shot the guy with a silencer!

Right on the head!

The guy lay down, his body lifeless.

He was dead!!!

I couldn't move after what I just witnessed.

He killed someone

again.

He turned towards me coldly staring at me.

He walked towards me, slowly, as my hands scrambled against the trees trying to get away from him, as far as possible.

He grabbed my arm, making me jerk.

He roughly pulled me to my feet and dragged me towards his car which was parked a few steps away.

"Get in", he ordered as he opened the door but I was paralyzed.

Too shaken to get in.

He suddenly lifted me,placing me inside the car as he harshly closed the door.

I flinched so hard as he slammed the door, locking it.
