E. Montclair - The Sky Grew Dark

“I don’t believe you, girly.” He said, leaning in close again. He sounded like he was smiling. “Who made those fancy fish traps? You seem like his type, some girl living out here alone, needing a big strong man to help you.” His mouth was inches from my face, his foul breath hot against my skin.

“My husband made them.” I whimpered. I had always envisioned myself taking control of a situation like this, not crying at the hands of a bully.

“And where is he now?” He asked. His voice said he was surprised that I had a husband.

“He’s dead. He died.” I began crying now. As the words came out of my mouth I knew they were a mistake. I shouldn’t have told him that. His hand roaming up the curve of my thigh confirmed that.

“So there’s nobody to hear you? Nobody to call for help?” Even with the blindfold on I was certain that now he was smiling. His hand reached my waist and he placed his hand flat on my belly. I jerked away. His touch sent chills down my body.

I heard a rustling noise and another voice snickering and I wondered how many of them were here. How long would they keep me? Rapid fire thoughts went through my mind. My family could be in danger. They couldn’t survive without me.

My thoughts were interrupted by a new set of hands, exploring. I clenched my teeth and tried to think about something else. I had read a story a while ago of a woman who had survived a rape attack. She said that she just let them do what they wanted, but that was easier said than done.

Another rustling and a breeze hit my face. I could sense some movement. Another voice joined in. I felt dizzy, like I was going to pass out. I took a deep breath and tried to calm down. I wouldn’t let this happen.
