**[TRIGGER WARNING: ATTEMPTED S**UAL A****LT SITUATION]** Please skip if this chapter will be too hard for you. I will leave a small play by play at the bottom.
**Selenes POV**
My phone begins to buzz, releasing me from my fever of study. I begin gathering everything up, carefully placing it in the messenger bag that my dad gave me before dying. Feeling the smoothness of the leather brings a tear to my eye, the pain of losing them still fresh all these years later. Making my way out of the college, I take a deep breath of the crisp air and smile. Fall has always been my favorite time of year, ever since I was little. The sounds and songs that come before the deafening silence of winter always bring a smile to my face. Making my way around a corner, a smell of rotten eggs and body odor assaults my nose, causing me to gag slightly.
"Hello there gorgeous." A slimy voice purrs in my direction. "You care for some company tonight? I can show you a really good time." Ugh I cringe. Why do people do this? Why proposition some one who obviously wants nothing to do with you? It's disgusting.
"Uh no thanks." I state. "I'm really not that kind of girl."
"Oh come on baby, with a body like yours, we could really have some fun."
"I said no!" I snap. "Go somewhere else and try your luck, I'm not interested." Suddenly, he grabs me roughly, slamming my head hard against the alley wall. Stunned, I groan from the pulsing pain.
"Listen here, you little prude," He growls in my ear. "I will be the best f**k you have ever had, now be still and enjoy it." He begins groping my chest roughly, moaning lustfully. I freeze, fear swirling in my brain on how I am going to get out of this. His foul lips crashing against mine gives me the out I need and I bite down with all my strength, tasting blood.
"OW!" He screams, jolting away. "You will regret that sk**k!" As I turn to run, he punches me square across the jaw, causing me to meet the pavement. Stunned, I barely feel his grip in my hair as he fists it in his hand. This was getting out of hand very quickly and I had to think of a way to get out of this fast. I regret telling Erin that he didn't need to walk me home tonight, I could really use my best friends assuring presence and strength right now. Just as my brain begins swirling in panic, I feel this disgusting strangers hot breath on my ear.
"You really shouldn't bite those that bite back b***h," he says though gritted teeth. "You will regret that little stunt you pulled. I am going to make you mine, break you down piece by piece and mold you into my perfect wh**e. How does that sound?" I whimper no in response, which causes him to laugh in my face, his disgusting breath wafting up my nostrils. "Tough," He says as his lips crawl down my neck. "Mmmm, you smell like heaven. I am going to give you a little gift darling and once you receive it, you will show your appreciation to your new Alpha." Before I can register what he said, I feel razor sharp teeth tear through my shoulder, causing a searing pain to crawl through my body. A scream rips through my throat, stripping it raw.
"SHUT UP," He roars as his foot connects with my stomach. "Now, be a good little she-wolf and come with me. It is time for you to pay up." She-wolf? What the f**k is this guy smoking? Knowing that if he has his way, I will never escape, I feel a surge of strength flow through me. As he pulls me up, I shove him hard. Hearing a sickening crunch, I run. I run and run and run, pushing through the pain, trying to get as far away from that serial killer as fast as possible. I really didn't know where I was going at the moment, but I knew I had to escape.
The crunch of leaves under foot clues me in that I have made it to the woods. Suddenly, the pain triples and I crash to the ground, writhing in pain, screams racking my body as tears stream down my face. Just as suddenly as it hit, the pain disappears, my body weak and shaking from the trauma of it all. Slowly, I feel around for a tree to lean on and pull myself up to a sitting position. Placing my head between my knees, I will my racing heart to calm down, keeping my ears sharp in case that jacka** comes back.
What the f**k was up with that guy? The thought runs through my head. People are becoming more and more unpredictable, it was scary just how much. If this is how the world is going, I am going to need to get something easy to use to defend myself when Erin cannot walk me home. I can't be left completely defenseless again. I may not be so lucky next time. I miss my parents, that is for certain, but it is not time for a family reunion yet. I haven't had a chance to really enjoy life as an adult yet.
Heart finally calmed, I slowly stand, swaying and gently making my way out of the woods. Chuckling morbidly at the forethought to memorize the woods around my area, I use the buildings to guide my way along the side walk, taking the long way home in case that pr**k is still hanging around. I doubt I would be so lucky to get away a second time. Making my way up the porch, I fish my key out of my messenger bag, grateful that it stayed with me through the whole thing. I lock the door tight behind me and as I turn, dizziness swirls through my head and I pass out right in the landing of my apartment.
[AUTHORS NOTE: So for those who skipped to this point, Selene is harassed by a stranger who tries to a*****t her, but she fights him off by bitting on his lip to the point of drawing blood. He bites her in return, causing pain to shoot through her entire body. Shoving him to get away, she runs to the forest to escape and after some time to calm down, takes another route home and passes out in her landing. Thank you for reading]
