A thud

I turned around

Curly black hair was pressed against the glass

His angry face glared down at her

She clawed at his hands

Another thud

The black hair fell

He spun towards the one who dared to rescue her

His hands wrapped around the neck of the hero

The girl slumped against the truck seat sobbing

I couldn't move

My heart raced and tears fell

"Stop!" she said

And he spun back to her

Dropping the hero

Her neck was once again in his grasp

She was pressed against the seat

Her eyes desperate

I reached over

Clawed at his hands

Drew blood

But he wouldn't let go

My tears fell onto her face

My sister was dying in front of me

The hero was still slumped against the truck

As I saw her giving up the fight

A voice

"What are you doing!"

And the hands receded
