Across the country, Katlyn was sitting in a hotel room. Her ex-boyfriend, her attacker, the one who took everything from her, was taking a shower. She thought about running away, escaping the hotel room and trying to find help, but Katlyn knew that she could not hope to out run him in her condition.
She was six months pregnant with his second child.
He had killed the first, beating it out of her. This one however he promised to let live. At least until she gave birth to it.
Her eyes stared blankly at walls as she daydreamed of how her life could have been different if she had not met this phycho of a man. The only clothes she wore was the things he brought her, he did her hair and her makeup, making her look only the way he wished her to.
She was like a doll, empty and devoid of a soul.
As her feet swiftly and silently leapt from building to building the sun began to set with a beep violate and orange light coloring the horizon. Looking down on the town with caution to see if danger is near that might be a threat to her. As she moves at a brisk pace across the apartment tops she begins to hear footsteps behind her. Surprised that someone could keep up with her, she begins picked up her speed. Moving faster and swifter at every stride she decided to throw off her follower by making several sharp turns.
As she made her last turn she decided to jump down to land silently on a balcony just below. She turns around to contact one of her near piers to help scope out what the follower wanted or who he was with, her hand just lightly touched the rail when it just broke due to the rust that had been building up. Turning around she misplaced her foot and was taking a deep plummet to the ground from 12 stories high. Still in shock she was ready and had braced herself for the pain she would have from hitting the ground, but never felt the pain.
But an arm around her lower back, trying to discover who it could be as they were falling. The man who was saving her yelled to his buddies as they fell, with what sounded like code words. At the ground a few old mattresses had been placed to break our fall.
"I wanted to get you in bed with me, but I never thought it would be on such old mattresses?" He said with a smile.
"Austin?"
"Hey babe."
"Austin why were you on the roofs?"
"Same question to you, but you know a girl should not be free running alone at night."
"I wasn't alone, I knew you would come eventually."
As Austin went to turn away she yelled "Hey Austin!"
"Yeah."
"Don't call me babe," as she said with a small smile.
