The cold fall air gently whipped me as I turned the corner to go home. For some reason I wanted to go on this particular street, even though the cemetery that lay on it was legendary for housing creeps, perverts and rapists. Just that week a girl younger than I was fingered and almost raped in the same cemetery I was going to pass. But I knew I looked strong, and could kick some ass or balls if I needed to.
As I walked past the cemetery's new gates, inconsistent with the old headstones, I felt the wind get a little more powerful. My notebook was blown out of my hand, and though I got it back, my pencil rolled for several more feet.
I stooped to pick it up, and suddenly I was surrounded by hurricane-like gales in every direction. I screamed and tried to run, but I was held captive by virtual walls of wind. The wind grew even stronger, and I was picked up and lifted above the cemetery. The last thing I saw before blacking out was the aerial view of the forest beyond the cemetery.
I woke, it seemed, an eternity after blacking out. Somehow, it appeared that the wind had torn off all but my white underwear. Feeling extremely nude and vulnerable, I covered my breasts with my arms and raised a bit from the leaf pile in which I was deposited. It was the dead of night, and I doubted anyone would come looking for me now. Suddenly I heard a voice.
"Don't bother covering your beautiful bust. I have been admiring you for some time. I thought you would never awaken."
I saw a figure emerge from the trees; a tallish, black-haired, pale young man, with eyes matching the hair, or so I thought.
He strode over to me and looked down at me. "Were it not for your modest underwear, I could have been gazing at your naked perfection all this time. Let's just see, shall we?"
"Uh, I don't think so," I said, rising to a sitting position. "I've had enough of you perverts and creeps around here. I could kick your ass royally if I wanted."
He chuckled, condescending with a touch of evil in it. "Ah, I picked a feisty little girl," he said with amusement, grabbing my arm and pulling me toward him. Then he whispered quietly, "You won't be so belligerent when I get through with you this night."
I pulled away from him in disgust. "How dare you say nasty shit like that to me? So help me, I will make sure you never have children!"
I turned and started to run, but he grabbed me from behind and held me tightly to his chest, me struggling and fighting all the while as he said, "No one's going to help you now. Everyone's asleep, except for me and you, and I'm not going to let you go that easily."
He turned me around in his arms and said, "Classy but spicy...I like that in a woman. Now, let me ask you this: how many men have you let claim you?"
"No man claims me until I am married to him," I said defiantly, my brown eyes staring fiercely into his eyes. But now I noticed that a strange flame flickered and burnt in the very center of his pupils, and it admittedly weakened me to see it. A tiger's smile curved his lips.
"So...you are a virgin," he said thoughtfully. "And a traditionalist at that. Very classy of you."
I cut my eyes at him suspiciously. "What exactly do you plan to do with me?"
He nodded. "I will do to you what I wish to do, and you will let me," he said, his eyes now burning into mine.
I scoffed. "Tch! Whatever, big man! You can try, but I daresay you won't get far with me."
He chuckled again, this time with more evil. "False bravado...yet another facet of your extremely varied personality. And I know another side of you as well."
"And what would that be?" I asked, crossing my arms and rolling my eyes.
"I know," he said, pacing around me, "that you are secretly excited by this."
