Wildcat

As I walked down the quiet street towards home, as the evening light faded into the distance, I couldn't help thinking about potential thugs getting ready to jump out of some dark alley to mug me.

"Stop it! You're just scaring yourself" I scold myself, but picked up the pace of my steps all the same. "You'll soon be home. This is just something your creative mind has come up with in order for you to embarrass yourself by screaming at every little shadow you see."

Suddenly, as though my mind had actually known of my impending doom, I saw two large shadows appear in front of me causing me to falter, unsure of their intention.

However, before I could decide whether they meant me harm or not, I was grabbed from behind and a cloth was stuffed into my face, smothering my scream.

"I'm truly sorry love" a deep husky voice whispered in my ear as felt myself getting dizzy and faint.

'Help m...' was all I think of before everything went dark.

Selima had it all together, knowing just where her well-ordered life was heading....at least she did until she begrudgingly accepted to help her scatter-brained friend out of a pinch, which resulted in her own kidnapping!
