Pain.

And blood

Lots of blood

Then numbness

Quiet serenity

Darkness.

Buffy Summers awoke a few hours and painfully lifted herself into a sitting position. She glanced down and noticed the blood staining her new white top. 'That's the last time I wear white around him,' she thought. She gave herself a once over and when convinced she didn't have any broken bones, she got up and walked to the door. She tested the knob, locked, as per usual. She sighed and went to lie down on the bed. Another lonely night she though as a tear ran down her face. She wiped it away quickly. She was Buffy Summers and she did NOT cry!

A few moments later she heard a key in the lock. She bolted upright.

"You can come out now bitch," the stranger said.

She got up slowly and walked towards the door. In the light she could see him. He would've been quiet a looker if it wasn't for the scars and the ugly twisted look on his face and the evil sneer. His eyes were hard and emotionless.

"Cops are looking for you bitch, just go home and don't tell them where the fuck you've been, who the fuck you've been with and what happened to you. All you are to say is that you were walking home from the mall and u tripped and fell knocking yourself unconscious. GOT IT!"

All Buffy could manage was a weak nod. "Good, now get out."

She hurried past him out the door and down the hallway. As soon as she got outside she broke into a run and ran all the way home.

When she got home her mother grabbed her into a massive hug.

"Mum let go your smothering me!" she managed to squeeze out.

"Oh, but I've been so worried the police are out looking for you and everything and oh!" her mum said grabbing her into another enormous hug. When she finally let go she started fussing around.

"Now go sit down on the couch I'll call the police and tell them to stop searching and ill make you some nice hot Milo and we can talk about what happened."

"Mum I'd rather just go have a shower then go to bed."

"Oh, well you can do that afterwards, I'll be right back."

Buffy sighed and went and sat down in the lounge room. Her mother could be so fussy sometimes.

10 minutes later the police turned up. She recited her story a couple of times then when they finally finished with her Buffy escaped upstairs and hopped into the shower. She kept scrubbing herself, even when her skin was red raw she kept going, she just felt so disgusting. 'He's such a creep,' she thought, 'one day I'll get him back for this.'
