Alli wasn't sure if it was her nerves getting the best of her or actually something strange going on. Ever since her parents told her that they were going on that cruise, she'd been paranoid about being left home alone in that big empty house out in the middle of nowhere. They kept telling her not to worry. Only a few people knew that they were leaving and they were only a phone call away.
But Alli felt like someone was watching her those last few days before they left. For instance, at the shopping mall, there was a man sitting in the food court that she swore was staring at her. For an older man he was attractive with his long dark hair and stylish clothes but it was really strange the way he sat there a few tables away with his shades on. He didn't even have any food; just a magazine and a cocky smirk. It was really weird. The man even seemed familiar but she couldn't place the face. Later that day, she thought she saw him again in an SUV a few rows back.
As soon as her parents left that Saturday afternoon, Alli decided to sunbathe nude in the back yard but cut it short when she felt the eerie sensation that someone was watching her again. There seemed to be noises coming from behind the fence that she couldn't explain. Sure, it may have been an animal but she wasn't keen on the idea of finding out one way or another. She scurried inside clinging the over-sized towel to her body and locked the door from the inside.
That night Alli ordered pizza and tried to convince herself that it was only her imagination. No one was stalking her. No one was coming to kill her. No one wanted to harm her. The man in the mall was probably just some old pervert scouting out young girls. No one even knew her in this new little town her parents had dragged her to.
Alli sat alone in the dark watching television and eating pizza when the phone rang. She jumped and nearly dumped her plate on the floor. Shaming herself for reacting so silly, she reached for the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey, honey. It's Dad. How's it goin'?"
A sigh of relief escaped her. "Oh, fine. I was just watching some TV. I ordered some pizza but I'm about to go to bed."
"You doing okay without us there?" he teased.
"Dad, I'm 19, I think I'll be alright."
"Alright. I just know you were concerned. That's why I called."
"I was over reacting. I'm fine. It's just this new town and being in this new house. I wish we didn't have to move."
"You know why we had to move, Al. This move has done wonders for me and your mom."
"I know, Dad. It's all worth it," she admitted.
"That's my girl. You sleep tight tonight. And remember: we're only..."
"...a phone call away, I know, Dad. Thanks."
"Alright. Good night, angel."
"Night, Daddy."
Alli sat the phone down and her mind wandered. They moved to this rinky dink town to get away from all the stress that was tearing her parents' marriage apart. Before the move, they'd found a marriage counselor here and began seeing him regularly. After only a few visits, they fell in love with that little town and packed their bags. They put a whole lot of trust in this guy in these short months that they'd seen him but they swear he's changed their lives. Well, he'd changed hers for sure. She wanted to stay behind but didn't want her only family to be 3 hours away. Her father found a job where he worked less but still got paid well. And her mother got a job that she actually enjoyed. They put some of their savings into opening a flower shop. It's the only one in town so it was doing very well. Needless to say, they were one big happy family again.
Alli sighed and took the pizza box and dishes to the kitchen. She headed upstairs to shower before bed. She started to close the bathroom door and lock it but then felt silly.
I'm the only one here. No need to close the door. Besides, it will let some of the steam out of the room so it's not so foggy when I get out,
she thought.
Alli was rinsing out her hair when she thought she heard the door creak. Her eyes darted to the door. She couldn't see clearly so she rubbed her hand across the translucent glass of the shower door.
"Chester?" she called out on the verge of a panic attack and slid the shower door open enough to poke her head out. "Chester?!"
A shadow crossed the door. "Chester!" she screamed. The door creaked open a little more and she saw her mother's cat stroll into the bathroom. "Fuck! Chester, you fucking asshole cat! You scared the shit out of me!" The cat scratched at the shower door. She calmed herself down and turned off the shower water. "I forgot to feed you. Okay, okay. I'm coming."
After feeding Chester downstairs in the kitchen, Alli checked every door and window before heading to bed. She usually slept with her bedroom door closed, but since her parents were gone she felt the need to leave a light on down the hall and leave the door open to let in just a little light. Perhaps she
was
letting her nerves get the best of her. She didn't care. She knew that was the only way she was going to get any sleep.
*****~*****~*****~*****~*****
Alli lay sleeping on her left side when the intruder entered her room. A middle-aged man crept toward her sleeping body. He held a 4 inch piece of duct tape in one hand and held tightly so as not to make any noise, a pair of open hand cuffs in the other. Standing beside the bed, he looked upon her. Her long brown hair was almost completely dry now. She was beautiful laying there with her covers dragged down around her hip. Her little cotton nightdress was rumpled and twisted from tossing and turning. Her eyes, which he knew to be the most beautiful shade of green were closed tightly as she breathed deeply and slowly. She was in a deep sleep, he realized, and he knew he'd come at the perfect time.
The strange man positioned his cuffs around her wrists and in one fluid motion, he locked the cuffs, slapped the tape over her mouth and pushed her onto her stomach. Alli woke with a start and tried to scream but couldn't. She could tell that someone was straddling her back but she couldn't tell what was going on because she couldn't see behind her. All she could do was thrash around and cry. She was only able to breath through her nose so her breaths became very labored and soon made her head dizzy from lack of oxygen.
"Sssshhhh..." the man coaxed. "Alli, you're alright, my dear. You're alright."
Alli stopped thrashing suddenly. Her eyes wide with terror and her body stiff, she listened to the invader. She didn't recognize the voice. How did he know her name?
"Alli, don't worry. I'm not going to hurt you." Her breath was still quite labored and he could tell she was having trouble breathing. "If you agree to be quiet, I will take off the tape. But if you disappoint me, it will go back on. There is actually no sense in screaming anyway. There isn't anyone around to hear you. But you know that." Alli began to sob again. "Do you promise?"
Alli nodded her head as she cried. "Do not cry, little Alli. I won't hurt you as long as you do as you're told." His voice was sounded eerily calm and soothing. But soothe Alli he did not. The man reached down and gently pulled the tape from her mouth. Allie wailed with the removal of the tape and gasped for air, coughing and crying.
"What do you want?!" she cried out.
"Now, now, little Alli. You must lower your voice. You need to play by the rules or you won't be very happy by the time I leave."
Alli sobbed loudly into her pillow, unable to believe this was all happening.
"I will only tell you what I want when you calm yourself down," he added.
Alli sucked it up and tried her best not to cry anymore. He was still straddling her and it was beginning to hurt so she knew she'd better cooperate.
"Now then. That's a good girl." The man began to brush her hair away from her face and comb it with his fingers down her back. "Just relax. Keep being a good girl like you are right now."
"I'm going to ask you some questions, Alli, and I want you to be honest. I can tell when you're lying. You don't want to lie to me."
Again Alli nodded her head.
"Are you a virgin?"
Alli let out a little sob as the reality of the situation set in. He was going to rape her. But first, he was going to humiliate her.
