"katya, is it?"

"yes, katya zamolodchikova." katya said with a smile.

she was eager to get this job and was trying her best to be as formal and polite as possible. she was wearing a short, but formal, black pencil skirt with a red button up. her red lipstick was matching her red pumps. she sat confidently in the chair as the interview continued. they were in an office building, so there was other people around, but the door to this guys' office was shut so no one could see in.

"why do you want this job and how would you help improve my company?" the interviewer, mr. conners asked.

"i am a retired tattoo artist and my artistry has been prominent since i was a little girl. in boston, i was the number one female tattoo artist and i would have celebrities wanting to get tattooed by me. my designing abilities and creativity could really help further improve your company." katya explained.

"interesting." the man said, tapping his pen against his bottom lip.

he suddenly got up from his chair and  stood behind katya. she felt his rough hands caressing her shoulders and she turned her head up to look at him.

"what are you doing?" katya asked, trying to move away.

"tell me, katya. have you ever had a business job like this?" he asked, his hands moving further down her chest to squeeze her breasts.

katya tried to stand up from the chair, but he picked her up and slammed her body against the desk. katya screamed and a hand came around and covered her mouth. she felt another hand rip her skirt up over her ass. the tight leather was ripped so hard up, it left a burn mark on the back of her leg and ass. she was crying hysterically and was trying to kick this man off of her.

"don't fight me. you know you like this, you whore."

katya's whole body weakened at the sound of his disgusting voice. her panties got ripped to the side and she heard the sound of a belt fumbling.

"no, no , no, no!" katya repeated in her head.

she still couldn't speak because of the hand over her mouth, but then he made the mistake of removing it. as soon as he did, he pushed himself into katya and she screamed as loud as she could.

"please get off of me!!" katya scream cried.

her whole body was heaving and she couldn't breathe. she was at the point of giving up, so she just laid her head on the desk and accepted her fate. she was in more and more pain with every second that passed by because he was relentlessly hurting her.

"please, someone help me." katya whispered to herself.

just then, as if God had heard her, the door to the office flew open and mr. davis removed his whole body from katya. she fell on the floor, completely naked from the waist down. she felt weak, exhausted, and disgusted with herself. her mind kind of zoned out. she heard people screaming, but couldn't make out what they were saying. she was numb, physically and mentally. the pain was excruciating and she couldn't move without wincing and crying. during the attack, she didn't realize she had been punched in the ribs and head. she was just about to pass out when she felt soft hands on her cheeks.

"hey, don't fall asleep. you're okay now." a sweet voice said. katya slowly opened her eyes and looked at the woman who saved her.

"please don't touch me." katya whimpered, paralyzed by fear.

"okay, but i'm not leaving you."

she grabbed a random blanket in the room and covered katya's body. she sat down on the floor next to her until the police and paramedics arrived. katya opened her hand and grabbed the woman's hand beside her and squeezed. she needed some sort of comfort from someone she knew wouldn't hurt her. her limp body was loaded onto a stretcher and their two hands disconnected as she was wheeled away to an ambulance.

katya woke up to the sound of sniffling beside her. she slowly opened her eyes and the lights pierced her pupils. she squinted and realized she was in a hospital bed. she felt a hand on hers and saw her mother crying beside her.

"w-what happened?" katya asked, trying to get accustomed to the bright light.

"katya, oh my gosh!" her mother said happily as she leaned in to hug her. a strange sense of fear washed over katya as her mothers body went to embraced her.

"no!" katya shrieked.

she took a few deep breaths and finally remembered what happened to her. she broke down all over again and grabbed her mother. she sobbed for at least 15 consecutive minutes before a nurse came in. 

"miss katya, i can assure you that your body will heal by itself in a few weeks. the doctors are gonna keep you here for a few more days and we have some therapy options for you if you would like." the kind nurse said.

katya placed her head on her pillow and looked up at the ceiling with a single tear exiting the corner of her eye. she couldn't believe this happened to her. she blinked and a strange image appeared in her mind. she remembered a woman finding her and calling the ambulance. she remembered that woman grabbing her a blanket and holding her hand. maybe it was a dream, maybe it wasn't. she had no way of knowing who this woman was, what she really looked like, or even what her first name is.
