Chapter Five – Nightmare
Robin had faded off into unconsciousness, into the darkness of her own fiery soul. Her body fragile and frail held tightly in the fetal position in the dark, rainy alleyway. The only light visible was the flickering streetlight at the end of the alleyway.
She let out a small breath opening her eyes with reluctance. She pushed herself up with her chestnut hair falling into her pale face in front of her green eyes. She looked around and realized that she wasn't in the alleyway anymore. She was in a bedroom lying on a huge bed. The moon was shining through the open window as the wind blew the white translucent curtains towards her. Her clothes were dry and it seemed peaceful… To a point. Her soul, her heart was not at ease in any way necessary. Her heart was racing.
She ran over towards the dark door and pulled on the knob to try to pry it open. It was locked from the outside and there was no way she could get out. She knew this wasn't good. "Let me out!" She pounded on the door. "Let me out!" She cried. She backed away for a moment, lowering her head ready to blast fire through the door.
Suddenly, a cold chill flew up the middle of her spine. It froze her; it beckoned that he was here. In her dreams, and he would never let go. His laughter, his voice. Everything, even his scent. "No!" She cried. "Leave me be."
"You're not going anywhere. I am going to have some fun with you, dear." She was thrown around to face him. His hair sheltered his face and bright fire-filled eyes that burned away at her heart and soul. He gripped her arms tightly and threw her towards the bed with a chuckle.
"No!" She screamed again, knowing what he was going to do. "NO!" She yelled again still struggling to move. It was like her arms were being sawed off with a rigid and rusty blade. Tears were rushing down the side of her cheeks as yelps came from her lips, but they were muffled by a dark cold hair covering her mouth to smother her.
That insane, maniacal grin was on his cheeks as his razor-like nails chewed through her black dress ripping it open to expose the slim pale shaking body. Her heart was pounding against the inside of her chest, making her body jolt every second. He laughed wildly smelling her fear, hearing her heartbeat, feeling it as he slid his hands between her petite breasts and up her neck. "You…" He paused. "My dear, will taste great."
She closed her eyes as tears made their way down. She thought she was going to die; the hurt, the pain, the fear.
She winced as he pressed his body against hers, so hard that she couldn't breathe. His hands were pinning her own above her head and his other was unzipping the zipper on his pants. She knew what was going to happen; at that moment, she truly knew.
His laughter echoed in her ears as she heard the zipper fall and his pants fall to the ground. She couldn't fight anymore; there was nothing she could do. He had power, he was stronger, he was dangerously smarter. She tried so hard only to have the pain steal away her only strength. She laid still on the bed, tears rushing from her now pale as death cheeks.
Robin's eyes shot open as she screamed with fear. She took a deep breath, her eyes scanning everything around her and she found that it was still night. It had finally stopped raining, but the tears still feel. Her heart was pounding through her body so hard and fast. She could feel him, inside of her; his touch.
She hated it. She hated this life and everything about it now. She forced herself up and yelped with and newfound pain. "He-help me.. Please." She walked out of the alleyway and dropped to the ground opening her eyes to see a few people staring at her with disbelief. She closed her eyes. "He-help me."

Sakaki had been driving along the city streets where the hunt had began. Anger was racing through him. What happened, dammit? Where was she? What if something happened? He'd kill if something did.
He turned onto another street and looked up, seeing an ambulance on the way about a mile down the road and a huge amount of people surrounding the sidewalk. His eyes widened and he pulled up, walking over towards the crowd. "What happened?" He asked. "What's wrong?
"Get out of the way! Here comes an ambulance!" A man said. "I don't think she's breathing!" Another said.
Sakaki almost collapsed seeing Robin on the ground in front of him. He raced up to her, pushing those that were around her away. This man was right; she was barely breathing and she was so cold. Tears rushed down his cheeks. "Robin." He placed a hand on her cheek. "Wake up, Robin." He patted her cheek. "Please?" He looked up to see the paramedics walk through the crowd. He placed his finger to her pulse, seeing it was weak – barely there. "No," he said, bending down and holding her tightly. "Wake up, Robin."
Robin slowly opened her eyes, as asked to, hearing another familiar voice; and this time it wasn't scary. "..Sakaki.." She whispered as her eyes drifted back into her head once more and the paramedics pushed him out of the way to take her to the hospital.
He stepped back, watching the medical van race off through the streets. His eyes were blank, dark and distant; and his body was shaking. "R-Robin?"
