Strangers

chapter 1

As I open the door of the movie theater darkness surrounds me. Quietly I hum the newest pop song playing on the radio to myself. The cold autumn air feels nice against my warm flushed cheeks. As I approach my car I sense something is off. That's when a cold clammy hand comes over my mouth and nose and another around my waist. I start screaming but it only reduces the oxygen intake.

" Hey pretty thing. Your gonna come and have fun with me. Stay quiet and don't move to much and it won't hurt." He says. And In that moment I do the only thing I can think of doing. I raise my leg up and try to kick him in the groin but miss hitting it. I end up kicking his thigh. I'm starting to get dizzy from the lack of air. His hands over my mouth and nose is pushed further as if knowing im gonna pass out. Black dots star appearing in my vision and I know this is it. This is the night that I will lose my virginity in the worst way possible. This could be the night I die. This is the night tha... Suddenly the man's weight is torn away from my  body.

I fall to the ground breathing heavily trying to get more air into my lungs. With my vision still blurred I try to see where my rescuer is. And who he was. But all I can see is what is probably a blurry figure of my rescuer punching the man that assulted me. I hear a weird crunch sound that has me alarmed. Did he just break the man's nose? Or did he break his hand? I finally steadied my breathing to a normal pace. As start to stand my savior turns to look at me. He let's go of the man's collar when he sees me moving and rushes towards me helping to keep me steady.

"Are you ok? Did he hurt you? What Happened?"

I was in a daze looking into those chocolate brown eyes. His thick dark lashes that encased those eyes. His perfectly straight teeth and slightly chapped lips. The words he was saying not even registering right away until I realized he was talking to me. I mumble out a quick I'm fine and he let's out a soft sigh.

As we silently sit up against my car I see the man who assaulted me lying on the ground. Instantly without thinking I walk up to him. I want to see who this man was. And if he was dead. I most likely wasn't dead for he was breathing but he was barely breathing. And he wasn't moving. The guy followed me holding my left arm making sure I won't hurt myself. I look back and give him a slight smile. Then I look back at the man.

He must have been in his late 50's or early 60's. His face was covered in blood some of it dry now. He wasn't familiar to me. I walk back to the car start thinking about what we are gonna do. Do I call the cops? If I do then Mr. Hot savior dude could be in trouble for hurting him. Do i leave the man lying there to be found? Or do I just call someone I trust? Suddenly a voice breaks me out of my thoughts.

" Miss I'm not sure how but we have to move him." Well it looks like he's reading my mind now. " We can bring him to the police station. Explain what happened. You won't get in trouble and neither would I since I was protecting you."

"That sounds good.. um.. I'm sorry I don't know your name.."

"Jack."

" Good to know. Well I'd like to thank you first off for saving me. If you wouldn't have helped me I don't know what could have happened. So I am forever grateful for you."

Jack looks away with small smile then back at her and gives her a Curt nod. " Anytime beautiful, now if you don't mind we need to get this man into your car."
