Twilight and all its cool characters belong to lucky lady Ms. Stephenie Meyer.
Alright folks I give you the missing chapter. Hopefully this will clarify some things for those of you who were a tad confused!
…
We spent the morning together and then a half hour after twelve Bob showed up. I informed Lucy that I wanted some time at the house by myself. I said I wanted to 'sort some more stuff out'.
Lucy gave me a short hug, and told me to call her if I got scared. If only she knew how scared I really was by this whole thing. But I didn't tell her, and I knew I never would tell her, or anyone else.
My first thing to sort out, was the fridge. The only food I had found was oatmeal. And while it worked out great for breakfast, I knew that would get old. So I found Mary's car keys and headed out to the driveway where her old Cadillac greeted me. I drove into the small town of Kent, and for some reason kept going.
A little while later I found myself turning off to a neighborhood outside of Seattle. I knew what my mind was plotting, and I also knew it was stupid to provoke this idea. Yet here I was deliberately parking a block away from a known bad neighborhood. I don't know exactly what I was hoping to have happen. But by now the sun was beginning to set, and I was walking down the almost empty road in nothing but a tank top, khaki shorts and flip flops. The clothes were Lucy's and still a tad too tight for my liking.
I kept my pace slow, and did my best to appear lost, still not entirely sure what I was looking for. Then as I rounded a dark corner I saw what I was hoping for. There were two particularly creepy older drunk men sitting on a door stoop. They saw me the moment I rounded the corner, and the braver of the two began approaching me.
"Hey pretty pretty, you come to play?" I looked up from the sidewalk, my whole body began to twitch in what I could only assume was anticipation.
"I'm lost. Do you know how to get back downtown?" I did my best to appear frightened, and confused. They fell right into it.
The bigger of the men was licking his lips. "Oh we can definitely help you find your way."
Behind me I heard the other approaching. I thought I would start shaking now, but I steadied myself and pretended not to hear him. I felt his rough palms make contact with my skin though, as he brazenly grabbed both of my upper arms. I said no and he began pulling me backwards.
This was it. The large man in front of me came closer and I took it as signal, I leaned backwards onto the man grabbing me and kicked the large man hard in the face. My elbows pushed backwards into the man behind me, effectively loosening his grip from me and staggering him backwards. The rush of adrenaline was amazing, as I turned ready to fight the man who had held me captive.
My fists flew wildly into his stomach, then my leg connected with his head as he doubled over sending him flying backwards.
"Stupid bitch." I turned in time to see the other man charging at me again, only this time a shiny object was flickering in the streetlights. I was about to move out of the way when he stopped dead in his tracks.
There was a look of terror on his face, and he began to back away, then sprint. His friend got up and joined him. I noticed then he was not looking at me, but past me. I glanced over my shoulder to see what he was looking at, and for the first time tonight was scared.
The eyes that met mine were full of pure anger. As were the nearly half dozen other sets of eyes behind them.
