• Time went by faster than anticipated, and we left when it got dark. Well, we only left the mall because everything was closing. But something wasn't right when we walked out of the Gamestop. There were these guys hanging around, leaned against the walls of the alley in between Hot Topic and Gamestop, chugging cans of beer and smoking cigarettes. I walked to the spot where the Jeep was....but it wasn't there. I looked around. "Jaime, do you see the Jeep?"
    "No, I know it was parked right here." She pointed to a plastic cup on the ground, probably a slushie from the gas station around the corner. "That was by the front left tire."
    "Wow, for someone who's ADD you're pretty sharp-" Suddenly, everything went dark. Jaime screamed, but it was muffled. I felt pressure on the back of my head, as if something were being tied around my eyes. The ground beneath me disappeared, and I felt the structure of a shoulder digging into my stomach. I was being carried away to somewhere. I thrashed about, trying to get down. "Lemme go, you b*****d!" Suddenly, the shoulder disappeared and a rush of air brushed against my face. Something told me I was thrown.
    I don't know, I guess it was the searing pain I felt when I slammed against the brick wall.
    I slid down the wall and groaned. I felt something warm dribble down my forehead. I put my hand to it and sniffed it.
    Blood.
    I felt a spazzum in my throat as soon as I picked up the scent, but I ignored it. I reached for the knot on the back of my head and untied the blindfold. I let it fall to my lap and my eyes adjusted to the darkness. We were at the very end of the alley. I searched for Jaime, but she was nowhere in sight. Suddenly, a familiar voice whispered in my ear. "Remember me?" I felt a hand wrap around my throat and lift me off the ground. My throat was clenched tight and I choked, trying to get air. I dug my nails into the mans hand. He looked me in the eyes; he was tall and scrawny and then it hit me. He was the perverted frat at The Lodge. "You..." I seethed, but couldn't get out anymore words. "'You' what?" He whipped me around and threw me against the other wall, face first. My face burned wildly, as if on fire. I put my hands to my face. I stood up quickly, but soon I was surrounded. I tried to shove through but a tall burly man shoved me hard against the wall. I heard Jaime scream my name. Adrenaline pulsed through my veins. I threw myself full force into the thick bodies of the men. I managed to get through, but a big strong hand gripped my wrist. It whipped me around and back into the wall, face first again. I felt hands twirl me around and pin my wrists to the wall. I looked around at the circle of drunk frats. "Is this the girl, Brad?"
    "Yeah," another familiar voice said, "She's the one who ruined my bike."
    "Shouldn't you be more worried about how I broke your face rather than that scrap of metal you call a 'bike'?" I said with a smirk.
    Bad move.
    BAM! I was punched in the stomach. Hard. I felt the air rush out of my lungs. "Shut the ******** up." The perverted frat boy spat. He grabbed my chin, and held his face inches, no, centimeters from mine. He whispered, "Now I get to have the pleasure I deserve." He shoved his tongue into my mouth and forced a kiss on me and, instinctively, I bit down. He exclaimed in shock and pulled away. He felt his tongue and pulled his finger away; it was drenched in blood. He looked back up at me, his face scrunched with fury, clenched his fist and slammed it across my cheek. He did it again four times, then slammed his knee into my stomach. I fell to the ground, clenching my stomach, and he proceeded to kick me where ever he could; my face, my stomach, my legs. I heard Jaime screaming my name. I covered my face and curled up into a ball; for once in a really long time, I was terrified. Something is happening to my sister.
    Suddenly, the kicking stopped and the guys started yelling. "Hey! Who the hell do you think you are?" Then a scream and a thud, followed by several more thuds. I started to slip out of conciousness, and as my hands started to relax, I caught a glimpse of what was going on. Someone was here to save me. "You're okay, sweetheart, I'm here to help you." I heard a sweet and soothing female voice say. "Here, get on my back, I'll help your sister." I heard footsteps approach me and the ground disappeared from beneath me. I was lifted up and a rush of wind started brushing against my face. My vision was too fuzzy and blurred, but I could make out the shape of a person. The moon passed by over our heads, and thats when everything went black.
