Her yell for help was quickly silenced with a sharp crack of a hand across her cheek. She groaned as she tried to shake off the pain. She opened her eyes and took her surroundings in in fear. He had brought her to the outskirts of Central City, far enough away so no one would hear her screams.

It dawned on her then, exactly why he had brought her out to the the desolate plains surrounding the city. He was going to kill her. She struggled against his hold on her arm, trying to fight for her life, but months of malnourishment and torture had left her weak. She looked for a way to escape, and sees an opening to freedom. As he is turned away from her, reaching into the boot of his car, she strikes with all the power she can muster, kicking him in the leg as hard as she could, caushing his grip on her arm to slacken.

As soon as her arm was free, she ran as hard and fast as she could towards the city. She didn't get far, before feeling an excruciating burn slice across her back, causing her to scream in agony and fall face first into the dirt.

"Now now, what did you have to do that for? I was planning to be nice and make your death quick and painless, but for that little stunt, I'll make sure you suffer before you die!" The man hissed to her as he flips her onto her back, earning another painful cry.

"Please, you don't have to do this." She cries as pain forces tears to fall from her eyes. "Please! I promise I won't tell anyone about this, about what you did. I promise, please, just let me go and I'll forget all of this ever happened, I swear!"

He crawls on top of her and straddles her legs, looking down at the pale face of the young woman at his mercy as he raises the knife above his head, readying himself to take the final killing blow.

"I'm sorry sweetheart, thats just a risk we are willing to take"

He brings the knife down, aiming for her heart, before a tremor rocks the ground below them, followed by an explosion and a pillar of light erupting from the city, causing him to miss his target and plow the knife into her shoulder instead. They both look to the side, towards the light; him in fear and her with pain filling her eyes and body. They watch as a wave of energy makes its way towards them, shocking the man into motion as he wretches the knife from her body and runs towards his car.

The girl merely wimpers in painas she bleeds out on the ground, too weak to fight anymore. She tries to make another pitiful plea for help, but this time her body is too weak to respond as she loses the fight to survive.

Please, someone, help me. Save me. I don't... I don't want to die... please don't let me die...

She closes her eyes as she feels the wave of energy hit her body, causing a final burn of pain in her wounds, before everything fades; the girl no longer feeling pain, only numbness, then nothing.

Okay, so this is my first fanfiction idea, and since I love watching The Flash (and of course seeing Grant Gustin strut his stuff in his suit) i just had to put pen to paper and share my idea with other fans.

If you have any tips, please feel free to share them, and creative criticism is always welcome, so please, let me know if you like it, so far, and if you'd like to read more :)

I will try to update as quick as i can, but please don't hate me if it takes some time between chapters, and most chapters will be typed up on and uploaded via tablet instead of a computer like most.

Cheers, Kitty~
