I was running through the forest mentally yelling at myself for going alone at night knowing that people have vanishing. But I couldn't take it back now, all I need to think about was getting out of here alive and home to my little brother and sister because they needed me. I kept running even though my legs felt like they wanted to give out I pushed myself to keep going, whatever was chasing me sounded like it was getting closer. I was covered in scrapes from not being able to avoid the tree limbs and prickly bushes, but I ignored that pain as well.

I didn't know where I was going and I could only hope I was running in a direction that led to a road or anything that could help me. I was not paying attention to where my feet where landing, plus it was super dark and I couldn't really see anyways so it made no point to try. I could hear water like a stream was close by so I headed that way but as I turned I tripped over something and my face smacked the ground. I screamed I could feel my forehead bleed because I hit a rock, but what really made me scream was the feel of someone grabbing my leg and pulling my backwards.

I turned and kicked who ever had me in the leg hoping I hit the back of his knee, I knew I succeeded when he (oh my god it was a man figures) screamed, fell to the ground and let my leg go. I didn't hesitate I jumped up and started running again as fast as I could not, wanting to waste the little time I had earned myself. I thought there was no way he could catch up to me and felt a little relief but no once did I stop running; I wasn't going to stop till I made it home. As that thought ran through my head I ran smack it to a hard chest that didn't falter at the impacted but I fell straight to my butt.

"Where do you think you're going beautiful" The man said.

I screamed as loud as I could and tried backing up, I tried getting up but I was kicked in the back and fell right back to the ground face first crying in pain. I had given up so I just laid there crying, praying this was just a bad dream and I would wake up safe in my bed. I hated myself for wanting a break from my mother and father and wandering in here, now my father would not have someone to take his anger out on so her would move on to Michael and Hannah. I prayed that one day they would be able to forgive me for being so stupid and not being there to protect them.

The man yanked on my hair pulling my back and I let out another cry of pain, he whispered in my ear that he couldn't wait to taste me. I could feel his hot breath on my ear and I tried to cringe away from him but he wouldn't budge, he laughed at my reaction to him then slammed my face to the ground. I couldn't stop crying as I felt him start to pull me up, I kicked, screamed and threw my body from side to side trying desperately to get him to let me go. He screamed in frustration and turned me to face him, then he full fledge punched me in the face, I fell to the ground crying and holding my face. I could take a beating after all the years I had suffered it at home but this was different, so I cried and stopped trying to fight. He yanked me to my feet by my hair and pulled me close to him, he put his hand around my waist and forced me to walk body to body.

I'm not sure how long we had been walking but it felt like forever, he never let go of me once keeping me close. I had not tried to fight him this whole time but when I felt him start to stumble I grabbed his hand and yanked it from my waist the turned and pushed him as hard as I could. He fell to the ground and I turned trying to run, but when I went to take off his hand grabbed my leg and I fell to the ground as well. I was kicking and trying to back away but he pulled me to him until he was straddling me and smacked me hard. I laid there not moving wishing he would just end this, then his body was gone and someone pulled me to them repeatedly telling my it was okay they were here to help me.

"Is she okay" I heard another male voice.

"She is beaten up pretty bad but she will be as okay as anyone would be after this" the guy holding me said.
