Chapter 10
Allison sat on the bus waiting to go home from work late that night. She rested her head against the window, uneasy about going home. She knew talking to Joey might be awkward for the next few days.
The bus stopped at her stop and she walked off, as did an old man with grey hair, a scraggly beard and large black coat. She was always aware of her surroundings, but she didn't think much about it this time. She started walking towards the Tanner's house slowly, not wanting to get there quickly, when the old man started following her. She noticed this and walked faster. He followed behind her. She was two houses away when the old man sprinted up behind her. She turned quickly, ready to defend her. He was too quick for her. He grabbed her arms and held them behind her back at the same time as putting a knife to her throat. She let out a scream as he dragged her into a dark alleyway.
"I wouldn't scream so loudly, unless you want this knife in your throat," the unknown man said.
She stopped abruptly and prayed that someone had heard her.
He tied her hands and ankles together and put a gag in her mouth. She was kneeling, crying and shaking she was so frightened for her life.
But by this time Allison looked up to see the old man's face. He was no longer a helpless old man she thought she had seen on the bus. He still had a scraggly beard, but his grey hair and large black coat were gone and his large black eyes were piercing her with hatred.
She saw that he was ready to kill her by any means possible. Revenge was in his eyes. Then she realized that she knew this man. It was her step-father!
Her eyes became wide with recognition, surprise, and fear.
He saw this and smirked. "Yes, you recognize me now, don't you? I've been following you for some days now. You have a pretty nice place set up here. Did you get adopted to a new family? Or are you just banging that pretty little boyfriend of yours to get a place to stay?"
She struggled against the restraints tied on her. Her heart was bursting with hatred towards him.
"Well, you're going to have to say goodbye to them, because you'll never see them again. I've come to take my revenge on you."
"For what!?" she said as fervently as she could while still being gagged. "I did nothing to you!"
"You got me put into jail, you bitch!"
"Because you fucking raped me!!" she screamed, tears streaming down her face.
"Ooh, don't blame that on me. You were asking for that. I was just helping you along -- giving you some tips on how you can get money on the streets."
She glared at him with all the hatred in her heart.
He continued. "But now I'm here to teach you what happens when you don't keep your mouth shut."
She was so enraged; she wasn't even scared for her life. She wasn't going down without putting up a fight and she hated him so much right now, it was either going to be her life or his.
He approached her with the knife…
