Nicole awoke in the front seat of a truck. She groaned grabbing her head, her long black hair cascading around her in waves. She was wearing the jeans from yesterday and from the scratchy material between her thighs no underwear. She glanced down to see a white t-shirt and no bra. "What the fuck, Ja-" Nicole stopped as everything came flooding back to her. The camping, her friend, her ... indecency and depravity. What had she done? She glanced around. The ... Man, Master, whatever was gone. She was alone. She searched for keys, but couldn't find any. There was a diner. Help?!
Nicole got out of the truck running towards the diner. The door chimed as she swung the door open. All eyes turned on her and she saw every single patron male and female give her a double take. "Can I help ya, sweetie." the waitress who looked worn beyond her years asked Nicole holding a coffee pot.
Nicole hesitated. Her eyes scanned the tables as she thought of a way to explain what happened last night. She shook her head and slid into a booth. The woman whose name tag had Cindi on it poured her a cup of coffee. "Ya look like you could use some help, dahlin."
"No, I ... was just hungry, but I ..." Nicole patted her pockets and realized she didn't have any money, ID, not even a cell phone on her. "...don't have any cash. May I just sit here, please?"
Cindi looked at Nicole and nodded though she didn't look happy having some girl who had no money sitting at the diner. Nicole thought she felt someone staring at her. She turned, but halfway through someone sat down across from her. "Hiya babe. I'm Chad. Wanna Shag?"
"What?!" Nicole wasn't sure she heard him right. She was trying to figure out where the Man had gone. Had He abandoned her out here? Why hadn't He shown up? What the hell was going on?
Chad laughed. "Nothing. I'll pay for your meal. Some pancakes and bacon huh?" Chad snapped his fingers and Cindi rolled her eyes and took the order. "So what's your name, doll?"
What is up with everyone calling me pet names? Nicole started to feel like her old self the longer she sat there with her hand wrapped around the hot mug and no one trying to kill her. "Nicole," she finally answered. She glanced around the diner looking for Him.
"How'd you get so far out here?"
"Look, Chad. I appreciate you coming and uh buying me ..." Nicole didn't know what time of day it was. It was still dark out, but that could be early morning or night. How long had she been out? "Food, but maybe you shouldn't be here."
"Huh?"
"It's not safe." Nicole was remembering the last words He said and she didn't think He was joking. [i] "You will be mine and only mine. I will use you any way I want. If you ever turn me in or think to leave me I will find you and kill you."[/i] She was sure he was around here, somewhere.
"Not safe. Baby, we can be kinky if that's what you like?"
Nicole stared at Chad. He was a doosch.
Nicole thought back about 3 weeks ago when Jayne had came into the office laughing about the new word she was 'hip' to. Doosch meaning that you could and she quoted 'hear the wind wooshing over a dumb person's head.' Jayne laughed. "You know a man who just doesn't get it. No matter how hard you try." Nicole had shaken her head no, but now she did. Now she understood and she was looking at one. A doosch.
Nicole stood up and walked out the door. The door chimed and she looked left then right then left again. She saw a phone booth at the corner and instinctively headed towards it. Another chime and she glanced back to see Chad coming towards her. "Go inside."
"Look babe. I paid for your dinner. You got to put out."
Nicole stopped at the phone booth with an incredulous look on her face. She started laughing. Chad stopped staring at her with an angry look. Nicole laughed harder and had to grip the phone booth to stop herself from falling over. After the two days she had his little insult didn't compare. She had been chased through the woods, saw her best friend choke on a knife, got fucked (okay that wasn't a real bad part), then killed her best friend, and now is stranded at a diner somewhere in God knows where with some sort of dick who can't take a fucking hint.
Chad had enough and grabbed her arm. Nicole pulled out of his grasp and glared at him. Her head snapped back at the blow. He hit her hard and she heard a ringing in her ears as Chad dragged her back. Nicole shook her head clearing it and managed to ball her fist and slam it against his eye. It wasn't a punch, having never thrown one it was more like she slammed her fist down against his face.
"Fucking bitch. You're all but naked." Nicole's eyes widen as she glanced down at herself. "Yeah I can see your titties through your shirt and I'm gong to get me some. Whether you cooperate with me or not."
Nicole was pushed to the ground roughly his hand shoving her head to the pavement. The blow didn't break the skin, but her face scratched roughly against the concrete. "Get off ME!"
Nicole kicked out at him connecting with his shin. She was awarded with his fist slamming into her stomach. The breath rushed out of her lips, and then an intense pain she had never felt flared through her body. Nicole curled up in a ball as she felt tugging on her legs. She realized it was her jeans and blindly grabbed for them just to feel his fist slam into her side. For a moment she felt paralyzed like she couldn't move. Her jeans were removed from her body.
"Oh yeah. This is what I want."
Nicole could feel her muscles reacting to her once more. Chad climbed on top of her to her growing horror.
"You ran off." Nicole stiffened as she heard His voice. "I returned to the truck and you are gone. With him."
Nicole turned and in the shadows she could only make out His eyes. "No, no, no, no, no..."
Chad being a doosch didn't recognize the life or death situation he was currently in. "Look buddy when I'm done with her you can have my seconds. Until then some privacy."
Nicole saw the glint of steel in the shadows. Chad turned back towards Nicole and glared at her. His expression changed to surprise, then pain, and then it was like the light went out behind his eyes. He fell off to the side of her hitting hard on the ground. He walked over Chad coming towards Nicole with the blade she was all too familiar with.
"What did I tell you?" Nicole backpedaled unable to take her eyes off the blade and the Man who was slowly approaching. She recognized he was backing her even further away from the diner, away from the light, and deeper into the shadows. "I said I would kill you. I said if you tried to leave me I would kill you."
Nicole heard the back of her head hit the dumpster before she felt it. She winced in pain as she sensed Him stop right in front of her. His breath was hot against her cheek. She couldn't get enough oxygen into her lungs. Her chest rose and fell heavily as adrenaline coursed through her body. She heard the blade slide up against the dumpster it's metallic sound sliding up was enough to fray her nerves.
