Dragons Among Us

Unwilling

I was running fast, faster than I had ever run before. I was trying to escape again, trying to get away from the man who had kidnapped me fifteen years ago. He had used me for many things, mostly sexual and torture things. He would beat me and rape me for nights leaving me alone for days after while he went to the world. I was waiting patiently for him to get back because I knew if I moved I would be severely punished for the 'crime'.

I hoped he would get back soon because I wanted to go to my room and celebrate today. It was my birthday and I wanted to be left alone. I looked at the clock that he had set beside me and saw that it still had another half hour left. I got bored and started to whistle to myself, then I start singing to myself. "Cause I'm only human, and I bleed when I fall down. I'm only human and I crash and I break down. Because I'm only human!!"

The timer startled me as it went off and I heard the door open as the man came back. His name is Bucky and he looked pissed off. He looked at me and asked if I was just singing out loud. I said, "Yes sir, it was too quiet and I was lonely. I wanted to hear a voice because it is my birthday and I needed something to do." I looked at the man who tortured me every day and I got angry. He released me to my room and I ran there expecting something to fly at me as I left.

I shut the door partially and sang happy birthday to myself because I knew he wouldn't do anything. It was my nineteenth birthday and I was alone again. I felt an extreme pain as my vision blurred. I felt my muscle bulge as I hit the floor. I felt my face tear and saw red on the floor in front of my face. I looked up and felt something pop in my back. I screamed in pain and heard Bucky come running down the hallway with something in his hand. I looked up and saw him holding something long and dark, I heard a click and felt something surge in my brain. I heard someone say, "No he doesn't. I am going to kill him before he even gets to that." I saw red and felt extreme anger, then absolutely nothing but wind all around me.
