He's coming.
She tries her best to hide, but she knows that he will find her.
As he comes closer she has to bite down on her lip to keep from crying out loud. She tastes the metallic tinge of her own blood. Fear overwhelms her and she's unable to stop the whimper that escapes from her throat. In an instant his arm reaches under the bed and drags her out by the hair. His hands close around her throat and starts choking her. Her mind screams for air but she can't breathe. She flails helplessly as the hands around her neck squeeze tighter..
tighter..
*GASP*
Rukia woke up with a start, only to find that it was her blanket, not hands, that had wrapped tightly around her body. She sat up and unraveled herself from her blanket. Running her fingers through her hair, she got out of bed and changed out of her sweat drenched clothes. She had only slept a few hours but she knew that she would not be getting more sleep anytime soon. She crept silently out the front door and went out into the night.
"Let go of me! Help!" A girl screamed as she tried to loosen the grip that a man had on her wrist. But they were alone in the alleyway and no one answered her pleas.
He smiled drunkenly and pulled her towards him, "Come on little girl, come play with me." He reached to grab her other arm and the girl used the chance to slap him. "Whore!" he roared and brought his arm down with a backhand across her face, knocking her to the ground. As he raised his fist to hit her again, his arm stopped in midair.
It took a moment to register why his arm wasn't moving. He wheeled around and came face to face with a small girl with raven black hair. The stench of cheap alcohol and cigarettes disgusted her, but she tightened her grip on his arm while the other girl got up from the ground and ran away. Enraged, the man swung at her. Rukia easily moved out of the way and in one swift motion she pinned his arm behind his back. She smirked as she slammed his face against the alley wall, "Why don't you play with me instead?"
