Chap 1
She could barely breathe through the pressure in her chest. She felt as if she was going to fall to the ground, and her legs felt as if they were going to turn to goo. But she kept running anyway. She knew that if she stopped he would surely kill her. She ran around the corner wishing for one of the neighbors to see her and help. She heard him behind her and knew he was close. Then suddenly she screamed as she tripped. She fell to the sidewalk hard and flipped over. Her palms, elbows, and knees were scratched and bleeding and a stray rock had managed to cut her cheek as she rolled. She quickly tried to get back up but a hard kick to her side caused the wind to get knocked out of her and she fell to her back on the grass of someone's yard. He was on top of her in a second his hands reaching for her throat, threatening to choke her. She gasped and grabbed his writs trying to push him away.
"Please stop!" she begged before his hand closed around her throat. She gasped for air trying to breath past the forceful block. Blackness pulled at the side if her vision. Her lungs felt as if they were on fire and she knew this would be the end of her. She still fought him but her strength started to fail as she fell further to the darkness. He stayed over her an evil satisfied smile gracing his face, as her hands fell away from his wrist and her eyes closed. He removed his hand and her head fell to the side. He picked her up and carried her back to the awaiting black car. Once he loaded her into the back seat he hopped into the driver seat and sped off down the road. Not knowing that someone had been watching the entire time.
