Walking along a dreary path, she noticed he was holding her hand. She didn't know when he took hold of it, but she didn't make a sound. She felt nauseas with a sense a sense that her stomach was a gymnast. She needed to run, run quickly. She should be going home, this wasn't safe. She refused to pay attention to what she knew, she panicked, what if running would turn out worse? What if he chased after her and was faster? What if she was wrong and he was simply being nice? Continuing to walk on edge at his pace, wondering what she should do, she had realized that she didn't tell him where she lived and wondered how he would know. Her hands got sweaty and her mind ran wild, she tried to free her hand from his but it wouldn't budge.
"Uhm, I haven't told you where I live yet..." there was a pause and all she could hear were the footsteps they created.
"...Oh yeah, am I headed in the right direction?" He smiled in a lopsided way and she felt herself calm.
"So..." She mumbled just loud enough for him to hear her.
"What's your name?"
"Would you like to find out?" he smirked down at her
She paused and thought for a second
"Uhm...yeah"
"Hmmm, Come on then"
His grip tightened and his pace increased. The streets were quiet and he took a turn into a narrow, silent and eerie laneway. It was getting dark and it was beginning to become hard to see her own feet. To either side of her there were old wooden fences. The stench in the alley way was almost unbearable.
"she just wants to go home, his grip is so strong, if only he could loosen it then she could run, run home and not look back. What's he doing, why did he bring her here, what's going to happen to her, why did she say yes!?" she thought to herself.
He came to a sudden halt and everything went cold, she began to panic, her hands got clammy and there was a baseball lodged in her throat.
"I-I really need to go home"
"It's ok, I'm not going to hurt you, just come this way"
She struggled to pull her hand away from his but his grip was as strong as a snake coiled onto its prey. A cold shudder trickled inside her. She tried to scream but he used his other hand to cover her mouth whilst taking a step pushing her hard against the wood. Tears formed in her eyes and streamed down her plump cheeks as she trembled with fear. She felt his breath burning her neck, and his rough, frigid hands sliding down her skin.
