trigger warning: sexual harassment

-.--.-..-.-...-

The following days after that incident was uneventful. But it only lasted for a week.

Austin's face became an everyday sight to Kali. He would always visit her in her workplace even when she had already rejected the lad's multiple attempts of invitations.

To say the least, everyday became an earthly hell for Kali. It also didn't help that none of her friends knew about her current situation, so asking them is a no-go.

"Are you going home already?" One of her colleagues asked her.

"Yup. I just finished my shift," Kali smiled tiredly at her coworker.

"Aww, good for you. Be careful on your way home, okay? It's already very late after all," the coworker bid Kali goodbye before exiting the staff's room and starting her shift.

Kali then quickly finished prepping her things. Although she never really liked using the back entrance, she had to go through it for tonight so as not to disturb the front and the costumers lounging.

The back entrance leads to a narrow and dimly-lit alleyway. It's scary and unsafe especially for her since she's a girl.

"Wha— Ow! Hmmff!" As soon as Kali exited the back door, she suddenly felt a large hand roughly pulling her forearm and then her back slammed unto the hard wall, knocking the wind out of her.

The blow was so sudden that she didn't had any time to prepare for it. It rendered her unconscious for a few seconds before she woke up due to the intense pain her body is feeling.

She could feel her head throbbing and her lungs in dire need of oxygen as she felt a hand clamping on her mouth.

"Shh, baby. I don't wanna hurt you, okay?" The man spoke. Although the area was dim and they were pretty far away from the light post, Kali knew that voice all too well.

Austin?!, she thought.

As her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she could make out the features of the lad. Indeed, it was Austin.

His face was near her's. Seeing the man's lustful eyes directed on her, Kali could feel her heart beating wildly with fear. Her eyes watered but she forced herself not to cry and to just stay strong.

She writhed as much as her weak body was capable of, wanting to get away from his clutches but it was of no use, Austin was simply too strong compared to her.

The man released his hold on her mouth, only to replace it with his own. Kali felt disgusted by his actions.

She tried to keep her lips close as her hands pushed Austin away from her, but it seemed as if she was only pushing against a wall of bricks. He didn't budge an inch.

Kali could feel his hands roaming her body and it only drove her even harder to get away from him.

She tried to writhe again, her hands pushing against his chest, and this time he was completely ripped off from her. It left the girl confused as she stared at her small hands. She wasn't that strong.

Then, a bone cracking followed by a groan could be heard.

Kali lifted up her teary eyes as it focused on the new infuriated figure joining them and only one word came into her mind.

Chand.
