On the run

"We are sorry. We tried our best but your father just gave up the ghost" were the words that changed her entire life.

Arianna broke down into uncontrollable tears with her mother. "It cannot be true. Bring back my Dylan. Dylan cannot be dead" her mother cried until she fainted.

A few months later, her mother also gave up the ghost. The doctor said that Arianna's mother had lost the will to live. Arianna's life came tumbling down like a pack of cards.

Her paternal uncle immediately took over her father's properties.

"Since your father didn't leave a will, I will take over the properties until you are old enough. You will have to come live with us till then, Arianna" her uncle announced to her.

Left with no choice, Arianna succumbed to his demands. It was either that or she turned to the streets. She couldn't survive on the streets. Her parents had brought her up with luxury.

"Run for your life, Arianna. Run" Arianna ran so fast. Her heartbeats thumped in her chest. She could hear her breaths as she ran. Her legs were already tired. She wanted to give up but she couldn't. Not now.

If she did, that would mean giving in to the psychopath who had almost caught up with her. She continued running."Don't give up Arianna" she encouraged herself.

"Sweetheart, come to me, I will show you ecstasy. Come here, my sweet. "The deep baritone voice behind her said.

She should have waited for the bus. Why had she been so stubborn? The footsteps got closer to where she was, she tried to move faster however her speed decreased.

"My dear sexy doll, stop, don't run away from me! I love you!" He professed as he continued to follow her.

She was powerless. The man behind her was twice her size, if he caught up with her, she would be dead before morning.

Tears spilled from her eyes as her vision became blurry, there was a pain in her chest that only became worse as she ran.

She started coughing. She had already strained herself too much. Arianna was an asthmatic patient and any minute from now she could get an attack. She was getting breathless.

"Help!" She screamed in tears and despair, there was no one to hear her screams and cries, it was dark, and they were the only ones in this location.

Even if someone did hear her screams, it would be too late, because the deed would have already been done. Her stomach tightened at the thought of being raped to death. She had to run faster unless she would die.

Ariana felt his cold arms wrap around her waist making her fall to the ground. Her heart felt like it was slashed into two. Her hands were cold from fear and her head was already pounding loudly.

"Ahh!" She yelled as her back hit the cold hard floor.

"No no! get away from me, please let go of me, I'll report you to the police, just please let me go. Please help me!" She cried out as she felt his cold arms pin both of her hands to the side.

He came face to face with her and she spat on his face.

"I'll kill you! Let go of me!" She yelled again.

"You can't even do a thing, just shut the fuck up," The man yelled at her but she ignored him and continued.

"Anyone there? Please help me!" She continued to scream.

The man on top of her let go of her left hand and grabbed her chin

"If you scream for help again I will tear your lips apart," His gruff voice said.

Ariana could feel her heartbeat wilder than ever. She couldn't just die like this? She had to do something at least.

She felt his cold arms on her legs and her eyes widened in fear. She tried to free herself as his hand was almost undressing her. The thought of losing her virginity to this sick man repulsed her

"Someone please help me!" She continued to cry.

With one hand, she searched everywhere for anything to free her from this man's grip. She was already giving up until she felt the hardness. The rock was just above her head.

She had no idea how she managed to raise the huge rock and pounce it on his head. She immediately stood up and started running as fast as her legs could carry her.

Ariana held her chest as she ran to find the main road, her face was streaked with tears. At this moment she didn't care about anything else, all she needed was someone to save her.

Her senses screamed at her to run faster. She ran, not bothering to look back.

"Help me!" Ariana yelled in tears as the man's footsteps started to approach her.

Why did she of all people have to encounter this mishap? Her aunt was to blame for all these. She wouldn't let her go to normal classes because of all the work that had to be done.

She couldn't run away either unless she would be homeless and there would be nobody to pay for her tuition fees.

If only her parents didn't die she wouldn't be in this messy situation. She had to condone everything they did to her until she got enough money to rent an apartment.

As Ariana's leg moved faster she could see the street lights, it was for sure the main road. Hope at last! She ran faster!

Someone would be out there to help her. She had hopes. That was the only thing that made her run faster.

She could still hear his curses as she rushed to the main road. There were no cars or buses. Just an empty road. She was frustrated.

She also had to pass through an abandoned tunnel before she could reach home.

Her face felt hot, and she started feeling pains in her knees but she continued to run. She couldn't stop now.

"You will pay for this! Just let me catch up with you!" The injured psychopath growled behind her.

She could hear him behind her. He had almost caught up with her. "Oh Arianna you are a goner" she gasped as he almost reached for her.
