A/N: Sorry for taking so long to finish this chap, but I wanted it to be good. Oh, by the way, this chap is rated T/PG13 for sexual reference, alcoholic use, violence, and horrible suspense

Ria looked around the alley, which she had walked into. Yesterday Damon had given her the long tour of the palace, almost knocking her of her feet. Damon's wicked sense of humor was so vicious, and he had a cynical remark about everything, even about his father, Gareth of Naxen the Younger. So she had decided to take a break from Damon, and look around the city.
And now she was here, in this alley, and had no idea how to get back. She would be late for her dinner with Alanna if she didn't gat back soon. Suddenly she heard a thud, and Ria whipped around, startled.
Three men stood there, slobbering and drunk, and looking at her like she was a piece of gold. Ria noticed that one of the men, a tall one with a gold earring and the look of a troublemaker, wasn't as drunk as the other's, and was looking her over in a way Ria didn't like. He signaled the other men to follow him, and started walking towards her, tall and menacing as he was.
Ria backed away, and found she had walked right into their hands. She was now backed against a wall, with no way of escape. The Tall Man laughed, and said, "Pretty bitch, you can fight all you want, but we'll have you in the end."
Ria tried to remember all she had learned in the arts of unarmed fighting, but that knowledge was scarce. The men advanced, and the one in the middle made a grab for her as Ria tried to kick him. He just laughed and pushed her on the ground. Then Ria's mind froze. Rape. They wanted to rape her. She knew they wanted to hurt her and maybe take her money, but rape.
Suddenly she was aware that something was pulling of her clothes. She saw the Tall Man tearing at her clothes and at the same time trying to pull of his breeches. Ria struggled even harder, but the man just laughed. She stopped struggling. Ria had finally realized her struggles were useless because of the drunken men holding her arms down.
Ria knew that soon he would be in her, and she closed her eyes and prepared her eyes for the worst.
She felt the clothes-shredding stop, and waited for him, for the worst. But the worst never came.
A/N: Aren't I evil? I love cliffies, hehehe. Sorry for the rating, but its all part of my master plan of world domination.
