We walk for six miles and are about to arrive at the place Hayes wants to go,and I start to feel something wrong. I walk up to Dylan,Hayes is more in front and Gale has been talking to Dylan. "Hey Dylan,this doesn't feel right",I say. Yeah that's what me and Gale were just talking about,it's weird to have the specific requirements,Dylan says in a low whisper. Hayes turns around and says,"why y'all whispering"? He comes to me and puts his arm around my shoulders and kisses me on the lips,he was rough about it too. I push away from him,Dylan pushes me behind him and gets in Hayes face. Hayes is about an inch shorter,but that doesn't faze him. "What it's not like she's your girl,so someone has to put her to work",Hayes says as he walks toward me. I back away and both Gale,and Dylan get in front of him. Stop Hayes we've got a mission to do now let's do it,Gale says. "Funny thing about that is....well you won't live another two hours or so",Hayes says as he points behind me.
I look behind me and see a raider take my hands and bind them together. I kick him in the gut,and turn around to see raiders attacking Gale,and Dylan. Gale pulls a raider off of Dylan but then he gets tackled by a raider. I run and kick the raider that's on Gale. The raider gets up and looks at me and yells,"someone get the girl"! Gale gets up and stabs a raider about to tackle me,"run"! Dylan yells at me as he is fighting a man. Gale cuts the rope off my hands and pushes me to run. I look at them once more and then run off into the alley. It is getting dark and I feel like I have been running for hours but it's only been two minutes. I come to a dead end and want to scream in till I hear Dylan scream for me,he screams and sounds like he is being beaten. I turn around to run but am stopped as I see Hayes standing in front of me. He holds a knife and rope,"come on baby girl",he says mockingly. I glare at him,he looks at me and says,"what are you going to do"? It's not really a question but I answer,what I did to the last man that asked that. I look down,fine whatever just take me just don't hurt them,I say and stick my hands out to him. "I knew that wasn't going to be hard",he says. He is about to tie my hands but I take out the knife that was in his hand and strike him right across the eye. He screams out ,and I kick him to the ground,then I run to Dylan.
It is now fully dark,and I can't see anything,but I definitely don't see Dylan or Gale. I run a hand through my hair and want to scream but I hear raiders walking towards me. I hide behind a barrel as they pass I hear them saying that Gale and Dylan have gotten away. A sigh of relief comes out louder then I ment and they heard it. I run out of cover but one grabs me by the waist. "Get off me"! I yell and try to kick him but he deflects,and slaps me so hard I bite my lip so I don't scream. "Take her to the leaders room,he needs to break her in",one says.
The man that slapped me throws me on the bed and yells a name,a girl appears in the other door and nods. He leaves me to her,"please help me",I say. She looks at me and points at her throat as she opens it,there is no tongue. I try not to stare so I look away. She washes me and puts me in a short black dress with heels. "Wait I don't do short dresses and heels" I say. She shrugs. I hear someone coming up the stairs,the girl hands me a knife and leaves. I smile but then sit on the bed with my hands and knife in between my legs. Hayes appears in front of me and smiles. My hair is curled and I have mascara and eye liner on. "You look good,to bad I have to break you",he says and walks towards me. He puts his hand on my cheek and kisses my lips,I push away and he slaps me. "You will do what I tell you to do"! He yells. He kisses me again but I still pull away,he punches me in the stomach and I feel tears slipping down my cheek. He then slaps me and yells,"don't cry"! I look up at him and stab him right in the stomach and then strike his other eye with it. I run out but trip as I go down the stairs because the heels. I am about to take then off but don't have time. Other raiders are running after me as I exit there place,I run for about two hours and stop as my feet are killing me.
I fell asleep on the ground,and awake thankful to still be alive. I take off the heels and am stuck wearing the dress,the girl toke my scout clothes. I am glad she gave me a knife though,I still have it right now I'm more lucky then I should be. I look around me there is glass everywhere so I have to put my heels back on. I have no food or water and I'm already thirsty. I start to walk and see a map holder,I take a map and look at it,about three miles away that's not that bad. I start to walk again,ready for whatever comes at me I will make it through...for Sam..for Dylan.
