Disclaimer: I don't own anyone or anything from the TV show Degrassi.
Setting: Sometime right before the episode "Holiday". The 3rd season.
Rating: PG-13; for rape and language.
A/N: Well, I decided to write a story about Hazel. The first chapter is written in her POV. It will be short due to my writer's block. Also, this story will deal with rape and feelings of it later on, do not read on if rape makes you uncomfortable.
Chapter 1: Walking Alone
Hazel's POV
I was walking home from Paige's house. It was a cold and frosty December night out tonight. I pulled my jacket tighter to my body.
There was a chilling wind that came out of nowhere. It rattled through my long hair. I shivered a little bit.
God was it freezing.
I could've just asked Paige's brother Dylan to drive me home. But no, I just had to walk home, didn't I?
How stupid could I be?
I soon found myself by some woods that led to the street I lived on. Some very creepy and dark woods from what I can see.
Those woods are legend to have been the site of many murders and rapes. I never went near them. I'd always just take the long way instead.
But tonight was different.
Tonight it was freezing cold.
I felt like I was going to die of the frozen weather.
So...I decided to cut through the woods.
No matter how creepy they were, they'd get me home faster.
(-----)
I was still walking through the woods. It had gotten extremely colder since I first left Paige's house. I felt my teeth chattering
Come on Hazel, hurry up and get home. I told myself this over and over.
I began to walk faster and faster, anxious to get home.
As I was walking, I could've sworn I heard footsteps behind me. Like someone was following me or something. I felt scared for a minute, but then snapped myself out of it.
Come Aden, you're losing it. There's no one following you. I chanted in my mind
There's no one following me. I just had to keep it cool. I just had to keep telling myself that no one was following me.
No one was following me.
No One Was Following Me.
NO ONE WAS FOLLOWING ME!
But then, I heard a twig snap from behind me. I turned around and saw someone behind me from within the shadows, hiding their face from me.
Oh shit, someone was following me...
But who was that over there?
And why were they following me?
Why?
End Of Chapter 1
A/N: That was chapter 1. I'll post chapter 2 tomorrow probably. This will be at least 6-7 chapters. Well, please review and tell me if it was any good.
