"Bay, honey," he said, causing shivers to run down my spine, "We're running out of time.
I refused to look at him. No. I won't. He's already trying to force it on me, what would happen if he looked in my eyes? I can't let him see them. I can't let him see my eyes, I can't let him take my virginity. I would rather die.
As seconds passed and I didn't pay attention to him, he grabbed my shoulder and spun me around. I backed myself into a corner, in fear, and looked down.
"This is not funny. It will happen. It's your choice if it's forced or not," He growled.
"I'd rather die," I spat at him. As I glared, I realized my mistake.
He had seen my eyes, his lust was stronger. He was weak, but he was strong enough to tear the bra right off my breasts and throw it across the room. As I faught, he got out a knife and cut my underwear on one side, then the other. I knew he could easily take what he wanted and kill me, but that didn't stop me from fighting.
I simply didn't care anymore. What did I have to live for? My family surely thought I was dead. It had been months, maybe even years since I last saw them. I couldn't be sure of how long, the days just blend one into another in this place.
He shoved me against the wall and grabbed my arms. He used the left one to pull me forward, and kept the other pinned to the wall. I shook with freight, I could hardly move anymore, let alone fight him.
He got rougher, until he moved me from against the wall, pushing me down to the ground and getting on top of me. He forced my legs open, and before I could close them, he was between them.
He unzipped his jeans, ignoring me, as I scratched him and hit him. I was losing strength, I was only a few second away from losing all my strength.
Before he could take my most prized possession, a door opened.
"Willis, stop," Luke said. Willis didn't stop, he just got angrier, and kept trying, for the second or two it took for Luke to get close enough. Luke, now he's strong.
He grabbed Willis by the shoulder and threw him against the wall. Willis ran at him, but Luke turned out of the way just as Willis was about to hit him. as Willis turned around and tried to run at him again, Luke punched him, hard. Hard enough that he fell on his back.
"Shit," Luke said, when Willis started bleeding. He checked Willis for a pulse, and as soon as he felt it, got up and ran to a bag that was thrown on the other side of the gate. He ran back in while opening the bag.
"Luke," I said roughly, "How did you..."
"Put this on," he said, tossing a robe at me. He then turned away before answering my question, "We've been looking for you for months. After searching a lot, I realized that the only place we hadn't searched was the library. The cops said that you were seen going in, but not leaving. They thought that you had been taken out another way.
"I remembered once, a long time ago, hearing Willis talking about this room he found in the library. A storage room, that hadn't been used for so long that people forgot it existed. Even the people who work here didn't know it existed."
I didn't tell him that I was done getting dressed. I wanted to know the whole story, "How did you know where it was, then?"
"I didn't. Right now, this entire building is filled with people searching for you. Everyone was told to bring a robe in case...ah, in case you needed it."
"I'm covered," I said. He started walking out the gate, motioning for me to follow him.
"How long as it been?" I asked, as I followed him through that gate, then through a second, then through a door.
He didn't answer at first, I almost thought he wasn't going to, but after a few more minutes, he did, "Four months."
I stayed silent as we climbed up the stairs. I couldn't believe it.
Four months.
I had missed most of my junior year of high school. I had missed birthday, Hollyhock would be a child in only a month, the new baby would be so much bigger now, there could even be another new baby on the way!
And my graduation was in a few months.
As we kept walking, the halls started to look more and more like the library. We went up a total of two flights of stairs and through loads of hallways. When we reached the top of the first flight of stairs, Luke told someone to go down and get Willis. He explained what he had found. That person went back down the stairs while we walked onwards.
After a while of walking, the adrenaline of the situation had stopped energizing me. "Luke," I said weakly. I saw him turn around before I started falling, and felt him catch me. That's the last thing I remember
I can't wait to find out what happens next. With Luke, He is the kinght in shining armour isn't he *jumps up and down pointing* ISN'T HE?
