Chapter Twenty

Constance went to three training courses over three weekends in order to keep Mr Hallow, and the rest of the board happy. The courses were run on an Sunday and lasted all day not that Constance minded she wasn't planning on doing anything else anyway.

The first and second course were interesting and Constance was looking forward to the last course because they were going to learn more about first aid. She arrived early and found the course very interesting and felt like she learned an lot. The course finished at seven in the evening and Constance left the building in order to return to the castle.

Constance had lied to Amelia. Amelia had not wanted the young woman walking back to the castle alone and had told her she was going to come and meet her and they could walk home together but Constance did not want to be an burden to the other woman so she had told her someone she knew from college was attending the course and they would be walking home together, Only this was an lie Constance knew no-one at the course.

The walk back home was only ten minutes but despite this it was pitch black outside as they were coming into December and Constance shivered from the cold. It was too far away for her to transport all the way so she would be walking for most of the journey. Constance walked down the lane her arms folded over her chest as she was cold.

After eight minutes Constance arrived in the little village that overlooked the school. It was an small village with few residents and few shops. Walking down the cobbled lane Constance paused for an few seconds.

In order to get back to Cackles she had to walk past the local pub. Normally this was something Constance didn't mind but right now it was half seven and the place was full of drunk people. She proceeded to do what she had been doing for the last two nights and walk as quickly as she could past the pub. As she walked she heard whistling and comments as drunk people sneered at her she didn't stop she just kept walking until she felt someone grab her around the waist from behind.

She kicked and screamed trying to get her attacker to let go but the attacker just proceeded to drag her away from the pub down an dark alleyway. Constance was just about to sink her teeth into the man's hand when out of nowhere three more men appeared.

"Ahh you found an pretty one, Ty" one of the men said. Constance could tell he was drunk because he was slurring his words. Constance fought against the man holding her but he was an lot older than her. One of the other men walked near Constance and smiled.

"Hey pretty thing, give us an kiss" he said with an evil smile. Constance replied by slapping the man.

"Ooo feisty" he laughed as the man who was holding Constance pushed her onto the floor.

Constance fell onto the dirt and closed her eyes trying to transport but she didn't have time because the men were getting nearer to her. She had an bad feeling they were looking for sex and she blurted out the first thing she could think of praying it worked.

"I'M PREGNANT" she shouted. This was false she had never being pregnant she had never even slept with someone but she hoped they might decide to leave her alone if they knew this. The men looked at each other and laughed clearly they didn't believe her. The men pulled at her clothing as she tried to fight them off.

Constance could not even move as the men forced themselves on top of her one by one. The pain made her scream out but one man would cover her mouth as the others hurt her. Constance stopped screaming after an few minutes knowing it was no use and just silently cried as she looked at the stars in the sky willing it to end.

After what felt like an lifetime the men got up and walked away leaving her lying there broken. She lay there for an few moments and then sat up to cover herself wincing in pain and seeing blood. She knew it was impossible for her to get up and walk away so she transported quickly.
