C10

Sora was awakened by a loud crash of thunder. Her blindfold had fallen from her face and was now around her neck. She saw the room- it was a dark cement walled basement. Her dress was merely tattered pieces of cloth now. She had been beaten up pretty bad for fighting back against her capturer. 'I have to get out of here!' she told herself. '1 … 2 …3' she was able to tip the chair over. As she crashed to the ground the backrest broke and she was able to get loose from the chair. Her hands were still bound behind her back, but her legs were almost free. She drug herself on the cold and dirty floor. She soon found a rusted nail on the ground and began to use it to try and weaken the ropes. She desperately worked, often slicing her own skin instead of the ropes, by accident. "Damn it!" She cried after a while. The rope was hardly weakening. But she had gotten a little more slack on them. Now she started twisting her bloodied wrists and arms to try and squeeze out.
"You are awake." A voice called.
"Who are you?" She cried frantically. "Why did you do this to me?"
"Because you are mine and I love you."
"What?" The shadow walked into the little amount of light. Sora gasped. "Todd?"
"Yes, my love, I am here."
"I don't love you!"
"Yes you will." As he said this he jumped on her and began to once again rip away her dress.
"NO!" She screamed as Todd began to take off his pants. "Please Todd… don't do this." But he didn't respond He ripped off her undergarments, and drew close.
Sora began to cry and with all her might she tried to get away. Her cries for help were unanswered. Todd was now straddling her. He had a grin on his face. He violently thrust himself into her. His heart was pounding,. Sora was in shock. 'He's raping me!' she thought.
"NO!" She wailed. Todd continued to move up and down, enjoying his prize. He lay on top of Sora as he wildly kissed and bit her skin. She tensed up and fought back. She grabbed the nail and with all her strength she swung her bound arms over her head and plunged the nail into Todd's shoulder. He howled in pain and got off of her.
Sora got her legs freed and tried to run for the exit. Todd grabbed her arm and slapped her. Her nose began to bleed. She punched him with both of her fists in the face. The force of the two combined fists sent him flying backwards. She hysterically ran back towards the door that was up some stairs. She was half way up the flight of stairs when Todd grabbed her ankle and tripped her. He then dragged her down the stairs. Her body hitting each step on the way down. She was bleeding heavily and burses all over made every movement hurt. Pain drew up her body. She stopped crying now. She was determined to fight to the death if need be, but she was going to be free. Todd had pulled on his pants now, and had his gun.
"Don't move!" He warned her. She didn't know what to do. But getting raped again was not an option. She rushed for the gun. "BANG" it went off and hit her below the chest. She still came at him and wrestled him for the gun. Her will power was greater than ever now, completely forgetting the pain she turned the gun on Todd. The trigger was pulled. BANG BANG………BANG!

Tai was still walking when he heard the faint gun sound. He was in some mysterious section of town now. He Didn't know how or why he walked to this spot, but he was standing in the condemned area of town. Then he heard another two shots. For some reason he was drawn to the sound. He broke out in an all out run towards the direction of the shots. Then there was another one, this one was louder. Where was it coming from? Tai looked for some sign of where to look. Suddenly he saw a figure wobbling out of a building slowly. It was hunched over and it was holding its stomach. The rain continued to make Tai's sight of the person foggy. Suddenly the figure collapsed and fell down the front stairs of the building. Finally coming to rest on the ground. It moaned. Tai's heart jumped. He recognized the voice.
"Sora?" he yelled as he ran towards the figure. It was her. "Oh Sora." He looked down at her bloody and battered body. "I'm here baby." He pulled out his cell phone out of his jacket. He set the coat on top of her and dialed 9-1-1.(or the Japanese equivalent) "Just hang on, please."
"emergency service." A voice said.
"Oh God, get someone here quick. She's dieing."
"Calm down sir, where are you?"
Tai told her the address. He then sat the phone down on the ground and turned his attention to Sora. She was screaming in pain. Her blood had turned the water puddles in the area crimson. Tai began to apply pressure to her stomach wound, but the bleeding was too great.
"Don't you leave me!" He said as he shook her to keep her awake. "Come on, you got this far. Fight Sora! Fight!"
The ambulance seemed to take forever as Tai tried to stay strong for Sora.
Suddenly another figure creped out of the building. It was Todd. He was in bad shape as well. He had three bullet holes to the stomach. But he still had the gun.
"Oh so you are here now too?" Todd said.
"You bastard!" Tai screamed
"I can get my revenge on both of you." He laughed. "You know I enjoyed your girlfriend Tai, but she didn't really suit me in bed. Oh well. You can have her dead body back." He pointed the gun at Sora, who was now breathing very hard. She was gasping for air.
"Hang on Sora." Tai cried to her.
"How sweet. But I end you both here and now." Todd began to laugh. Tai quickly rushed him and hit the gun out of his grasp. Tai pinned him on the ground and began to throw punch after punch. Soon Todd's body was limp and just laid in a puddle. All Tai's rage was released, he staggered back to Sora's side.
"I… lo..ve..you..Tai." was all Sora could say. She was wheezing now. Tai clutched her in his arms.
"Don't go…" He begged. "I need you." The rain continued to beat down on the two.
