HALEY
It was almost 10PM, when the taxi arrived.
- It's 25.55, miss.
I looked around, but everything was dark and unfamiliar.
-"I hope I'll find Amy's building in this darkness." - I thought to myself, as I looked out of the window.
- Miss?
- Oh, sorry. - said while I came back from my thoughts. I quickly gave him 30$.
- I have no change.
- Nevermind. Have a nice evening! - I finally didn't have to worry about money. In two days, I started working for the Metropolitan's, The City's most famous trading company as a freshly graduated lawyer.
I happily climbed out of the car with my sportbag. I sent my suitcases forward a week ago, they were already waiting for me at Amy's place.
Once I closed the door, the taxi quickly left the neighbour without looking back, and I started to realize, I have no idea, where I am. I started to move around, but all I could see was old houses, and dark alleys.
-"Amy said that she lives in a good neighbour. It definitely doesn't look like how she described that"
I quickly looked for the paper I wrote the address on. It said, West 54th 238. I desperately tried to find a number on one of the buildings.
-"East 45th 236." Oh, sh*t!!! F*cking number streets!! I said wrong address to the driver!"
I dropped my bag to the ground with a lot of f*cks. My eyes searched for another taxi, but there isn't any movement near and far. Only a few lights were on in the nearby houses.
" I call Amy, I hope she can send me a car somehow".
As I found my mobile, suddenly a huge lightning shined the street followed by a scary noisy thunder. The rain immediately started pouring. It was the beginning of September, the weather was warm, so I only wore a light flowery patterned short dress and sandals, I didn't even bring umbrella with me. The dress soaked in a minute, I ran into a nearby alley where the roof saved me a little from the water but I was already wet everywhere. Despite the weather the rain was surprisingly cold, I started shaking more and more.
-" I need to go from here ASAP" - I started dialing my best friend's number.
- Give me that phone baby!
I looked up and an ugly, dark stranger stood next to me. He wore black coat, its hood saved him from the rain, and it darkened his face even more, made him more scarier.
- Sorry? - I asked shyly.
- I said, give me your f*cking phone! And your purse! - he shouted at me with anger scared the sh*t out of me. I saw something shiny in his left hand which I soon realized was a big knife.
- Please sir, I only have 10$ left and I really need to call my friend. After the call I'll give it to you I promise! - I know I was desperate but that night was already a nightmare, I didn't know what I could do without my mobile and money lost in the city without a friend or anybody who can help me.
- I'm not a f*cking charity fund! I don't think you want me to hurt you with this! - he pulled up the knife and squeezed my neck and shoulders with it. Suddenly he changed his tone as he looked my body up and down.
- Or maybe you want to make me happy in another way baby... - my dress was totally soaked let him see my curves. My n*pples were visible through the laces, as he pulled down the knife above them.
- Please, I give you my phone or anything! - I shaked even more, I was so scared, that I froze up and just begged quietly to leave me alone.
- Too late baby, you'll definitely make me happy tonight! Don't make any noise or I cut you! - he put the knife to my throat, and his other hand touched my wet body started at my breasts. I didn't know what's gotten into me, but somehow I found my courage.
- Let me go, a*shole!!!! - I screamed with my whole strenght and pushed him away from me. He was surprised at first, so I had a couple of seconds, but he quickly started to come back to me with the knife in his hand. I was next to the wall, I didn't have any place to go. I knew that I f*cked up. That he would rob me, rape me and maybe kill me, and I can't do anything against it. But I prepared to fight, I didn't want to give him willingly what he wanted. As he came closer I grabbed his wrist and try to get his knife, but he easily pinned both of my hands above my head to the wall. He also cut the back of my hand while we fought.
- Don't try to mess with me, you stupid b*tch! - His knife was on my neck, I closed my eyes and prepared to the worst.
But then suddenly he was pulled down from me and onto the ground. I barely had the courage to open my eyes, when I first heard His voice.
- Don't you dare touch her again!
