We start our search for the herbs deep into the forrest where most of the herbs she's looking for are. We look for hours and hours for the herbs she wants, some are rare and tricky to find, which makes it that much harder.

I stand up and arch my back, trying to stretch out some of the stiffness, I hear some cracks, and my back feels better. I look around me and realize the sun has almost set, and the forrest is starting to get dark, I look around to see where Nia is, but I can't see her. Worry starts to unfurl inside me as I look around for her, I grab the bag of herbs and start waking through the forrest for her.

"Begonia?" I call her name through the forest with no response, fear starts to mix with my worry, the forrest is dangerous when the sun sets. Wolves and dark things prowl the woods looking for dinner, and if I don't find Nia she may be just that. I curse myself for not paying attention to the time, for not noticing that Nia wasn't around me anymore.

"Begonia!?" I scream her name this time, letting my worry and fear show through my voice this time. Yet again I hear nothing, I'm about to scream her name again when I hear cry of fear, my head snaps in the direction it came from and I start running.

The scream is Nia's, there's no doubt about it, my mind runs wild with what is happing to her right now, I imagine the worst possible scenarios and chills run down my spine. I slow my pace when I hear leaves crunching and low voices.

I crouch down when I see them, I see two men, around our age probably older, and I see Nia in between them, there touching her and groping her while she try's to fight, tears cover her face and small whimpers escape her quivering mouth.

"Mmm so beautiful and pure, can't wait to see what's under that dress beauty" one of the men say as he licks her ear with his disgusting tongue. The other man snickers and agrees holding her waist hard with his hands.

My blood boils with rage and at what they're doing, at how they're trying to rip her dress off. I look around me too see if I can find some weapon, something I can use to hurt them, and hurt them badly, I find a rock the size of my fist, perfect.

I grab the rock and start to creep up behind one of them, Nia's eyes are squeezed shut so she can't see me and the two pieces of shit are too distracted with my sister to notice me. I raise the rock and hit as hard as I can at the head of the man who licked her ear, it lands with a big thud and he screams in pain, he staggers back holding his head cursing.

Nia's eyes shoot open, and when she sees me she whispers a sigh of relief. The other man holding her let's go when he looks at his comrade, Nia bolts from his grasp and comes over to me. She clings to me as she cry's into my shoulder, I wrap my arms around her and hold her close, trying to sooth her cry's.

I look behind her and see both men looking at me in pure furry, I let go of Nia and push her behind me. I still hold the rock in my hand as I stare at them.

"You bitch, you'll pay for that!" The man I hit in the head says.

"Nia run, run as far as you can and don't look back" I whisper to her over my shoulder, I don't take my eyes off the men though.

"No Donna, I won't leave you!" She whispers back at me with a steady voice now.

"Nia go back to the cottage and tell mother, ok?" I say to her as the men start to come towards us.

"No Donna, I can't leave you with these men" she says in defiance, even though these men were about to rape her, she won't leave me, she won't let me protect her.

The men get closer now "Nia go now, you'll only get in the way, I can handle this myself, if you don't leave now we're both screwed!" I almost yell at her now.

"I....I don't want to leave you" she says her fear starting to resurface again as her words tremble.

"Go.Now!" And with one final breath she runs, and I thank whatever god there is, that she listened to me. I don't care what happens to me so long as she's safe.

The men curse as she bolts away, as they realize they lost their fun. They shoot me with death glares.

"You evil bitch!" One hisses at me.

They come closer to me and I swing the rock at one of them, but they catch my wrists and bend my arm back until I drop the rock and scream in pain. They both hold me now, they're hands have death grips on me as I try to move, as I kick and scream. I fight against them like a wild animal, teeth snapping nails trying to dig into their flesh, body thrashing, but no matter how hard I try to break free, I can't.

One of them slaps me so hard I see stars, tears threaten to fall down my eyes but I won't let them, I won't let these bastards see me cry. They howl with laughter as they see me struggle against them, my blood boils with rage at them.

"You let our fun run away, now your gonna make up for that" I hear one of them say, fear runs through me, cold and chilling fear. I fight harder to get out of their iron grasps but it does nothing but tire my body.

The next thing I know my dress is ripped and torn from my body, then they tear away my under garmets. I stand naked in the fall forest, shivering with fear and cold, my mind starts to panic, all I think is fear and the need to escape this torture.

They shove me to the wet and dirty ground and pin me there, I thrash against them, but their grip holds tight, one pins both of my arms to the ground while the other holds my legs. I scream in rage and fear as the one holding my legs unbuckles his belt, my heart races and my tears I've so desperately tried to hold in, now fall freely down my face. I feel like I can't breath, like my body is shutting down from fear.

"Haha I'm gonna enjoy this bitch" he says laughing, he pulls down his pants and strokes his disgusting dick, he spits on it and starts to move closer to me. I thrash harder and harder against their grips, screaming and praying to whatever god is out their to help me, to stop this nightmare.

But no one comes as the man thrusts inside of me hard, I scream in agonizing pain, I've never felt such horrible pain as this. He continues to thrust inside me hard as I scream in agony. I have never been with a man, never even been kissed, so I cry is rage that this was taken from me.

I try to think, of any way I can stop this, to get away from this horror, and my mind finally comes up with a plan. My mind goes far away as I'm being raped, I let my mind drift, to think of anything but what is happening.

I see Nia's face in my mind, I see her smile and feel her warmth, she speaks soft words to me, comforting me as I go through hell. I let her words wash over me, and am so thankful that I saved her from this, I am already broken, my soul already torn, but Nia is not broken. Her warmth and love still shines, and I know this would have broken her, broken that warmth, so even if I have to experience this hell, I'm glad she doesn't.

My mind comes back to my body, I feel the agonizing pain again, the fear and rage again, and then the thrusting stops. I feel warmth spill inside me and I scream in rage. The man takes shaky breath and gets out of me, I feel his seed and my blood drip down onto the ground. I try to focus and not think of what just happened to me, then I feel the other mans hand loosen, they are going t switch positions, this is my chance. I yank free from their grasps and quickly crawl away.

I grab the rock I had before, and I smash it into the fuckers head, the one who just had his way with me. He falls to the ground but I don't stop, I smash the rock into his scull over and over and over again, letting my rage take over, I smash until his scull breaks and blood spills everywhere, until his head is mush.

I feel his blood on my face, my hands, my chest, but I don't care, all I feel is unrelenting rage. I get up and look around, I see the other man looking at me in horror.

"Y-you evil witch, the town will burn you for this" then he runs away, fast, probably to town, to tell lies about how I killed an innocent man. My blood boils at the thought.

I mind stills, I force myself to not think about what just happened, about what's sliding down my leg, about the bruises all over me, about the blood covering my hands. I walk mindlessly, not knowing where I go, just that I need to get away from this place, from this scene. So I walk and walk and walk.
