A Night of Peril
As she walked home that night along the valley, she heard a group of four guys chattering behind her but she never paid attention to them as she was so engrossed with thinking about what could have happened to her family. What was on her mind that night, was to get home as fast as she could and find out what was going on but she never knew that wasn’t going to happen.
The group of four guys were coming back from the club and they were heavily drunk. They all seemed to be in college and should be around the same age as that of Kevin. They had lost their senses of reasoning and were just walking along the valley, sprouting nonsense. One of them seemed to have noticed Ellie who was walking in front of them and that was where everything began.
“Wait guys, don’t you love the skirt that girl is putting on?”, the guy, whose eyes had fallen on Ellie said, shifting the attention of the other guys to her.
“Wow!!!! Her skirt seems nice, exposing her smooth thighs. I love her thighs and all I want right now is to have my hands on her thighs, rubbing them and having them perform wonders, underneath her skirt”, the second guy said, making others laughed. Ellie still never paid attention to all these and kept on walking home.
“You know, you can have her if you want. You have the power to make her obey your commands if you want her to. We all know your father is a billionaire and you can easily get whatsoever you want without lifting your fingers. You just have to get your money to do the job. She seems to be a cheap girl, judging by the way she is dressed. Just walk up to her and offer her some money and you will see her being eager to warm your bed tonight”, the third guy, said.
“That’s a nice idea, bro. Let me shoot my shot”, the second guy, who seemed to be the rich one among them said, preparing to walk up to Ellie.
“But she seems to be a minor. Don’t you think that’s a wrong thing to do?”, the fourth guy, who seemed not to be in agreement of their plot said, drawing the second guy, back.
“Wow!!!! The saint guy is at it again. If you feel this is wrong, you can excuse yourself but consider it as the end of our relationship. Which means, your brother would no longer be able to get the job I had promised him at my father’s company. The choice is yours”, the rich guy, who is also the second guy said. The fourth guy came from a poor family background. He and his family barely managed to eat. His mother had been on her sick bed for the past two years, waiting to be operated on but couldn’t be, due to lack of funds. His elder brother who had finished college still hadn’t gotten a job yet but the second guy had promised to help him in securing one at his father’s company. He and his family had relied on the job to pay for his mother’s hospital bills. He knew his family needed the job badly and couldn’t help but to give in to their plot although, he felt it was wrong.
“I am sorry. You can go ahead”, the fourth guy said, letting go of his hand.
“What a good decision you have made. Let this be the last time you will ever be in my way. Do not over-step your boundary and know your place’, the rich guy said to the fourth guy, while walking away to meet up with Ellie.
“Hello, beauty”, he said, hugging Ellie from behind with his hands on her boobs, pressing them. Ellie who was surprised by this action of his, managed to escape from his hold and slapped him across the face. His friends who were at the back and were watching as the scene unfolded knew that Ellie had just crossed her lane as the guy had anger issues and hated to be belittled.
“What the hell is wrong with you? How dare you grabbed me from behind?”, Ellie said angrily, showing how displeased she was.
“You slapped me?”, the guy asked, holding his cheek and smirking.
“Yes, I did and I will do that over and over again if you do not respect yourself”, Ellie said in a fierce tone, which was that of a warning.
“Well, I will take that as your love for me. Anyways, my name is Clark and I just need you to warm my bed tonight. I will give you enough money to change your wardrobe and make you and your family live comfortably for a couple of months”, he said, looking at her from head to toe.
“What? Warm your bed? Pay me enough to make my family and I live well? Who the hell do you think you are? Anyways, I do not need your fucking money and I am not the type of girl you think I am. If you need someone to warm your bed, you can get one at a brothel. So, excuse me”, Ellie said to his face with disgust and walked away.
“You are about to lose a chance to make your family wealthy. Won’t you have a rethink? Do you know who my family is? Do you know who I am?’, Clark asked, in a voice that hinted at him getting impatient and angry. This statement of his made Ellie halt and she walked back, to give him a response which she found befitting to his questions.
“Your family? I don’t care who your parents are. To hell with you and your family. And as for who you are, you are just a spoilt, useless and senseless brat, living off his parents’ wealth. I will give you an advice before I leave. Get a life and make something meaningful out of your life”, Ellie said, turning around to leave but before she could move, Clark drew her back, landed a slap on her face and pushed her to the ground.
“That was the last straw. I really gave you a lot of chances and tried to be nice and gentle with you but it seems you like it rough and fierce and I am about to give you just that”, he said and Ellie who had seen his face changed and him boiling with anger, shivered in fear, not knowing what he was about to do to her.
“Guys, it’s time for the real action to begin. Seems like she likes it rough and fierce”, he said, looking towards the direction of his friends, who were now walking up to them and it was at that moment, Ellie became fully aware of their presence and she realized what a huge mistake she had made. Realizing what was about to happen, she ravaged through her bag and got a hold of her phone with her shaky hands. She quickly dialed Kevin’s number, hoping for him to pick this time around.
“You want to call your savior? Go ahead. Let’s see if he/she will be able to save you”, Clark said, smiling. Eventually, Kevin picked and before Ellie could speak, Clark snatched the phone away from her and put it on loudspeaker.
“Hello. Hello. Ellie, are you with me?”, Kevin asked from the receiving end, upon not hearing Ellie speak.
“Hello there. The owner of this phone is about to get molested and raped by me. She decided to call you so you can save her. Let’s play a game. Let’s see if you can actually get here in time and save her from suffering such fate. Are you in for it?”, Clark asked, putting on a devilish smile.
“I am fucking going to kill you if you lay your hands on her”, Kevin yelled over the phone.
“The countdown has just begun. Bye”, Clark said, hanging up on Kevin.
“So Pumpkin, should we begin the show?”, Clark asked with a devilish smile on his face, that crept the hell out Ellie and which made her shivered in fear, not knowing what was about to happen next.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
