The Dragon in Our Midst

8. Pain

after the discussion, I went for a walk in my human form around the town. it was night time and I felt the nice breeze on my cheeks when I saw some men come towards me. I changed my direction and walked into a semi busy nail salon, surrounded by fellow women, I felt safe. I remember the rule. no walking at night in fear of being r***d or murdered. I Made a mistake. when I was sure they had moved on, I left the store. I was walking back home and I was in my own head when I was rapidly pushed on the floor. I was wearing a skirt and a crop top. I didn't feel the cold. "look what we caught. a lonely woman. all alone." the largest said. a smaller skinnier man commented "wait, she has a necklace! it could be one of those necklace things that calls the police! remove it!" he said. I tried to hold on to it, to change, but the other 2 men held my arms down as the large man snapped the necklace off my neck. my dragon was in there! I fear for my life. still holding my arms, they decided there in the dimly lit street wasn't safe and decided to move me to the dark alley nearby. I was so scared. and I couldn't fight. I wasn't strong enough. the leader, the skinny man, removed my underwear without my permission. they were gonna do it. there was no stopping them. the 2 pulled out ducktape and taped my hands together behind my back and my mouth closed. I was helpless. the men rubbed their hand along my body like I was a petting zoo. one man dropped his pants, I tried to scream, to crawl away, to alert somebody but it was pointless. it was too late. he was inside me. the large man also had his pants down now, all of them did, taking turns to f**k me. in my p***y, my mouth and in my but. I had c*m in all of my holes and they left me there when they were done. taped up, half naked, and bleeding. I wasn't found until morning. and by then, I was almost dead. they gave me food, water and looked me over. I lost my necklace, my dignity and my confidence. and this nice woman was picking up the peices. the police came and took samples, and got my statement and left me alone. I couldn't return to my cave without my dragon. Max must be so worried.i slept, at this nice lady's house. I woke up around midday. only a couple hours of sleep. I had a nightmare anyway. I walked the streets trying to find my necklace. it wasn't where I lost it. so it was stolen. I looked all around, looked at lost and found at nearby shops. no-one had seen it. I waslost, alone and hurt. then I saw it. my necklace. at a jewellery store. on sale. I walked in and tried to explain that the necklace is mine. he was not believing me. he wanted $500 for it. I had $250. but then I got a call on my phone. it was an unknown number. I answered. it was a music store across the street. willing to do an interview. I needed the money to get my necklace back. I asked the man to hold on to it and I went to work.
