The Pursuit of the Unknown

KILL HER!

ROSA POV

  With tears streaming down her face, she watched her friend walk out the hospital doors with a piece of paper leaving the last of her mother’s belongings there, “I’ll take care of these nurse. I am with Hazel, thank you so much for your efforts.” She said as she took the last of Hazel’s mother’s belongings.  Leaving the hospital, she felt a chill down her spine, a different kind. She called Hazel and her phone wasn’t going through- she turned it off. 

 She went outside to order herself a taxi.  It was late in the night and she couldn’t shake off the fear that crept up on her.  A few minutes later, “Well, well, well, what do we have here? A little damsel in distress standing underneath the street lights, they didn’t teach you be home after dark baby?” a man, in his late twenties appeared out the shadows followed by a group of men.  Rosa turned around and saw them approaching.  She tried to keep her cool and looked at them.

“Now, what’s a fine young lady like you doing here?” as one of them neared her, he got a piece of her hair and sniffed it, “Smells like peaches and cream, I hope the rest of your body tastes like that,” just as he said that, he grabbed her shoulders and dragged her to a dark place. Rosa kicked and screamed as she was overwhelmed by anxiety. She knew how to defend herself but at this moment, she felt outnumbered.

…

“Sir, I saw a gang dragging her to an abandoned storage,”

“How many are they?”

“I saw eleven sir, they have pocket knives.”

“Is that all”

“Yes sir, that is all. What do I do in the meantime sir, should I take them out?”

“No, keep me updated on what happens next.” The man hangs up and smiles to himself putting his phone in the pocket. “Well, that was easier than I thought, humans really are pathetic,” with an evil smirk on his face.  

…

“Mmhm, she smells good, I also want to have a try,” one of them hisses.

“We have to kill her after this right?”

“Yes, that’s what the boss says.  The leader goes forward and grabs Rosa’s hair, dragging her on the floor and gagged her, tying her hands and opening her legs. “Any last words b***h?” Pointing a very sharp knife to her throat.  Rosa doesn’t say anything, she does her best to remain calm, thinking of an escape route. “The b***h ain’t got nothing to say? Okay then, I’ll start-” he reaches for Rosa’s sweatpants trying to take them off. Rosa, kicks the man in his jaw as hard as she could and twists herself up. With her hands tied behind her back, she is forced to use only her legs. 

The other men take their knives out and prepare to attack.  “Kill her! Kill this slut!” the leader says holding his bleeding mouth. The other men moved in on her slowly encircling her, Rosa turned around, watching them slowly surround her.  The first one moved in on her raising his knife to strike her face, she ducked out of the way and kicked the man on his ribcage. He skittled to the floor, the other came from her back but instead he got socked on the face as well. He got dizzy and fell to the ground, the remaining men then decided to close in on her at once.

At that moment, Rosa raised a blood- curdling scream, “Aaaaaahhh!”
