Into The Dark

Chapter 1

"Please, please, I beg you, let me go", I begged, feeling hot tears endlessly falling. He kept coming nearer and nearer until he was standing so close that my nose touched his jawline.

"Meirda", before I could process what he said, I was pushed hard on the wall, making me flinch in pain. And that's when I felt my tank top being pulled up. In a swift motion, I was left only in my bra and Jean shorts.

I kept crying and begging but it didn't affect him at all. Instead, he started sucking on my neck, then my jawline, then my lips. He pulled me more closer, if that was even possible. His hands went on hips, crushing them. With his other hand he slowly started making his way towards my chest.

"Marissa, Marissa, get up." "Huh?" "Marissa you scared the shit out of me! Why were you shaking and crying in your sleep?"

Another nightmare. I keep having nightmares since I came here and it doesn't stop. My life has taken a 360 degree turn and now I've become hopeless about it.

I am Marissa Van Der Bilton and I used to live in LA until things got out of hand and I was sent here, in New York, away from my family to save their reputation. Today is my third day here and memories of that night keep flashing in my eyes. If it wasn't for an old friend, Mecebeth Royals, I'd be on the road at the moment. It was her that found me in my horrible state two days ago and let me stay at her apartment.

"It's n-nothing r-r-really." I stuttered. "Are you sure?" I just nodded. "Look, I don't know what happened to you, to the girl who always had a smile on her face, the reckless girl who wanted adventure in everything but as your friend I promise to get you through this, okay? Now come on let's get you ready for something fun." She said, smiling. "Something fun?" I looked at her confused. "Yeah, something to get you forget about how shitty our lives can get" she grinned.

After a lot of attemp convincing her to let me go and aply for jobs, she didn't budge.

Now I am in front of a bar with the most undecent dress I've ever worn. "Ready?" No but I nodded anyway. We entered and as soon as we did, I felt out of place. There wer women who hardly wore anything and some were giving men lap dances. It started to get more uneasy when some men were looking at us like hungry wolves.

"Hey you can get a drink, I'll be right back, okay?" Mace asked. "Yeah" and she hurried somewhere to the other corner. Great now what? I walked to the bar and sat in one of the stools. "What can I get for you, sweetheart?" A man in his late thirties asked, he seemed nice. "Beer" I know this is a bad idea but I rally need a break from all that's happening in my life. "Make that two", I looked behind me to find a man in my age or a bit older, he sat on the chair next to me.

To say the truth, I've never seen someone so perfect. He had a lip piercing and a muscular body. He was wearing a dark suit which was very unusual for people who come here. He looked at me and I looked away quickly. The bartender came back with two beer bottles, handing me one of them.

In like a minute, my bottle was empty and I wanted more.

This was my third bottle and everything around me was spinning. At last, I decided it was time i leave and look for Mace. I got up from my seat and tried standing up without loosing balance. But as I stood up, I lost my balance and closed my eyes, ready for my fall. But when I didn't feel anything, I slowly opened my eyes and noticed two strong hands holding me in place.

After that I have no idea what happened because the last thing I remember is being carried into a room.
