The Fallen

*Chapter Ten*

✩

I froze. I wasn't alone. There was somebody else in this room with me. I could feel their eyes on my. I heard as they took one step after another towards me.

Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud.

Five steps, that's all it took. Five steps. Then I could feel their breath on my neck. I turned my head to the side slightly.

A man about 30 or 40 was standing above me. His dark brown hair covered most of his face, including his eyes. But I could still tell there was something menacing in the way he was staring at me.

"Excuse me sir. I'm so sorry I think my friends playing a joke on me, I don't think she knew you were in this room. If you could just open this door I'll be on my way." I turned back towards the door and tried to open it once more.

I felt two arms slam into the door right next to my head. I stopped moving the doornob. The man behind me pressed onto my body.

"You're not going anywhere sugar, I paid for some of your sweet time, and I'm going to get what I paid for!" He spoke into my ear. I shivered. I didn't understand what he meant. I could tell, though, that whatever he wanted or paid for wasn't something pleasant.

"Em! Emily! Please help me! There's a man in here! I don't know what he wants! Help me! Emily let me out!" I screamed pounding the door once more.

"Ezra that's your job from now on, ya gotta service that man. I already told ya, ya gotta do whateva he says! You're not coming out till the customers satisfied!" I could here her heels clicking away. Farther and farther. I stood there with the door pressed to my front and a man pressing into me.

"You here that sweet cheeks ? You gotta do what I say!" Tears began rolling down my face. How could Em do this to me? The anger welled up inside me.

The man behind me began rolling his hips against mine. His hand pushing one of the straps of my dress down, the other pushing the hem of my dress up. His fingers tracing their way higher and higher up my thigh. His crusty mouth began kissing at the back of my neck. There were no words for the disgust I was feeling.

.

"stop... Stop.... Stop!... STOP!" I screamed! I couldn't take much more of this.

The man twisted me around and placed both of my hands above my head holding them in place with one of his. His other hand went to his back pocket and he pulled something small out.

"You know what you need ya little slut! Ya need to be taught a lesson! I will teach ya how to do as a man says!" He flicked the thing in his hand open.

It was a knife.

He brought it up to me face. Slowly inching it closer and closer. I struggled against him. I needed to get out of here fast.

"I told you not to move bitch!" He quickly moved his hand and before I knew it the knife was at my wrist. He dragged the knife down my arm until it reached my elbow. I let out a scream of pain! The path where the knife had traveled was burning in pain. The man laughed and watched me struggle in agony. He began cutting the same path down my other arm. I screamed once more in pain, trying to kick him off of me. Trying to do anything to get him off of me.

He merely laughed. I began feeling dizzy and like I was going to pass out at any second. The man let go of my hands and they dropped to my side, limp and unmoving. I closed my eyes I didn't have any energy to try and move. He flipped me over so my front was pressed to the door again. He laughed once more, pressing his hand to my lower back, pressing so hard I began to see a light flashing before me. He knelt down behind me.

"Such a shame imma have to mark up these pretty lil legs of yours..." He pressed the knife to my inner thighs. Moving from one leg to another. The pain was unbearable. I could feel a warm liquid running down my legs and my arms. My vision started to darken. A foggy darkness tried to creep its way in. The darkness wanted to envelope me, wanted to take me away from the pain and this evil man.

Just as I was ready to be taken away by the darkness, I saw a bright flash of light. As I concentrated on the light, I could see that there was a symbol there. As I focused on it, I could see that it was a cross with a pair of wings enveloping it. A voice whispered Run child.

That's when I heard the door click open. My hand reached for the doornob. This time it twisted easily in my hand. I stumbled through the door, the man behind me gasped in suprise. His hand reached to grab my ankle, but I was already up and running.

I ran up the stairs and continued running until I found another staircase leading up. I could hear the man screaming now. I could hear his footsteps chasing after mine. I stumbled up the stairs, my body weekening with every step I took. I felt as if the stairs began angling themselves upwards, steeper and steeper. I saw a door that appeared to be on the ceiling, I pushed myself through the door, climbing up through it.

I slammed the door shut behind me, and I instantly felt a cold breeze whisk around me. I looked around confused, only to find myself on the roof of the building. The wind around me began to pickup. I walked towards the ledge of the roof and peered down. It was quite a ways down.

The wind picked up once more, thrashing my hair and dress all around me. I watched as some birds in the distance took off into the sky, flapping their little wings. I closed my eyes, lifting my arms. Wouldn't it be nice to fly, to fly away? To feel only the air surrounding you. I leaned forward. I knew I could fly, I could feel that my bones yearned to. They yearned to take me away, far away.

I could feel myself falling forward, the wind rushing around me.

Before I could begin my descent I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist.
