The minutes passed by 12:14. He looked at his watch repeatedly since he had walked there at 11:45. She was late again, she was always late. Every time he would pick her up he would have to wait, and just as his patience left him and he would start to leave she would appear. 12:17. He had instructed her to take a midnight walk on the darkest path through rotary park. Maybe she had woken her mother this time, she had always snuck out to their arranged meetings before at all hours of the night.
This night felt different though, he wasn't sure how yet but he knew this night would be different from all the others. 12:31. As soon as I leave she will show up, I must wait a little longer. But he had been telling himself that since he arrived. He stood up straight and stretched out his back and then fell back onto the tree he had been leaning against for the past 40 minutes or so.
He began to bite his fingernails as a sign of anxiousness. He paused to inspect his bleeding cuticles and then continued. He had always liked the taste of blood. The rusty taste triggered the memory of a previous time that he had taken it too far with her.
After another quick glance at his watch he let out a heavy sigh, his patience was wearing thin. For a brief moment he thought he heard something down the path, he convinced himself it was just his imagination until he heard it again. He strained his ears and tilted his head in the direction of the noise. He slowly leaned his head forward so he had a perfect view of the cement path an his head no longer rested on the tree.
Then he saw her.
As she walked through a shadowed part of the path and into the moonlight he could see it was clearly her. Her hands were in the pockets of her skin tight hoodie, the baseball cap and the hood hid her face. Her dark red lips were visible and her long blonde hair lay motionless at both sides of her face. Even if she hadn't been walking with her head down she would not have been able to see him.
He leaned against a tree that had been completely shadowed from the moonlight, and his clothes were as black as the night around him. He could jump out right now and take her if he wanted to but he decided to surprise and frighten her instead.
He noticed the path ahead of her was mostly shadowed by the trees above. As soon as she walked past him into the shadows again he slowly emerged from the darkness and into a moonlit part of the path. He wore a leather jacket with dark jeans, the black t-shirt underneath had a white outline of the punisher. He had worn this outfit the first night he met her and deemed the shirt appropriate for a night like tonight.
he followed maybe four feet behind her through the darkness, then slowly pulled out a long blade from his pocket. The tip had been broken off but he could still do enough damage to her as he wanted to.
He silently gained speed until he was close enough to slap her ass when in one swift movement he put one hand over her mouth and the other holding the knife to her throat.
"One sound and I'll slit your throat slut". he harshly whispered in her ear.
He released his hand slowly from her mouth in case she screamed, and started to walk down the path. One arm wrapped around her shoulders still holding the knife to her throat. They walked until they had reached a parking lot that was completely deserted excluding one van. He pushed her against it and moved his body closer kissing and biting her neck while holding both hands against the side of the van. She was pinned. She couldn't break free of his strong grip even if she tried. Attempting would be pointless, what would she do? Run? she could never get away. He then pushed her to the right facing the van, forced her two wrists together with one hand and sliding the door with the other. He reached in and pulled out a package of something.
Cable ties? she wondered.
He took one and bound both of her wrists together with it. He then threw her onto the backseat and slammed the door. He got in the front seat, started the car then turned back to look at her.
"Sit here".
he pointed to the open space between the drivers and passenger seat. She sat up and shifted between the two seats so she was on her knees facing him.
"Suck my cock bitch"
"How can I undo your pants" she waved her bound wrists together
"Find a fucking way"
She sat there with a smug look on her face and leaned back against the side of the passenger chair. He grabbed her by the hair and pulled her at eye level with him, he could see her struggling trying to get her hair free.
