Turnings

“SAM”

“SAMANTHA”

“SAMMY WHERE ARE YOU?”

With a jolt I woke up. I could hear my name being called over and over again.

I looked around to see I was. Oh shit I was still in the alley. It had gotten allot darker since I first came out. Then it was just starting to get dark. Now, its pitch black. I could barely see in front of my face.

“Sam where are you?” I heard. But it was getting fainter. As if the person talking was walking away from me.

“Sam…” I couldn’t hear them anymore.

Shit. Neenah. She and Neenah’s parents must be looking for me. That must have been who was calling my name.

I shot up like a bombshell. I need to find them before they go too far. I tried to run towards where I thought I was going.

However, I could barely see through the darkness. I could hardly see my own feet. And there were no lights anywhere.

Where were the street lights?

I could faintly hear cars, but the sound was all around me. Shit, where do I go? How do I find my way out?

By now it felt like I was having a mini panic attack.

My heart started to beat faster. I could feel my palm start to sweat as I got more anxious. My head turned from right to left at a rapid speed. Hoping by any chance, that I would be able to see something, anything to help me get out of this alley.

It shouldn’t be this hard to get out of an alley, normally you can go forwards or backwards and you could be guaranteed a way out. Apparently not this alley. It wants me to die for some reason unknown to me.

I tried running forwards hoping I don’t accidentally run into a wall.

I stopped. I looked around and did a full 360 turn.

“HELLOO. IS ANHYBODY THERE? Neenah?” I shouted. Yeah it probably wasn’t’ the best idea to shout when I’m a completely defenceless 15 year old girl out here stranded in an alley in Liverpool.

But I was desperate I was freaking out. I had to do something. But of course what did happen wouldn’t have surprised anyone.

“Hey little girl what you doing out so late?” somebody asked from behind me. Shit fuck shit. I knew I shouldn’t have shouted.

I kept silent hoping that he will just go away. Yes I know still being stupid. Fine plan B. I ran.

Forwards that is.

“Where ya going little girl we haven’t had our fun yet” a second guy said coming out of the shadows in front of where I was running.

Shit. I’m caged in.

I turned around to face the first guy. He was getting closer and closer.

I looked between the two to see them both advancing on me. One. Step. At a time.

My heart started to beat faster and faster. I couldn’t see their faces but I knew that they would have that sinister smile that most villains where when they think they have a victory.

My only chance now is fight. Let’s hope my green belt in taekwondo actually taught me something.

They both suddenly stopped.

There was a moment of silence when both of the men were looking me up and down.

They can’t possibly be thinking what I’m thinking are they?

I’m a 15 year old girl for Christ sakes.

Then the first guy started talking. “Well what’s your answer little girl? I’m waiting” he taunted.

Fuck fuck fuck what do I do?

“Well!” he yelled in my face, making me fall backwards.

Into the second guy.

The man wrapped his arms around my body trapping my hands on my chest so I couldn’t move.

My heart beat picked up pace.

What should I do now?

I know I can use that move off knight and day. Who said movies never taught us anything? That’s a load of bull shit.

“we’re going to have some fun with you, oh the things we could do with you…” then he started going into detail about what he wanted me to do and what he would do to me. Much like an evil villain would do when they have their enemy captured and was telling them their world domination plans.

As he was talking I slowly turned my wrist around so they were facing outwards. I really hope this works first time.

Here goes nothing.

I jutted out my hips to push into the man that was holding me. Pushing my hands down to the ground. Causing the man to be pushed backwards and fall on the floor.

With my ninja speed I leapt up and started running down the alley to where I just knocked the man to the ground.

Bloody hell I can say I have never run any faster in my life then I am right now.

I could hear the men yelling behind me. “Fuck…chase…go!” was all I heard.

But it was enough to make my run that little bit faster.

Sadly I was never a fast runner. I could hear them coming after me. Fast.

Well looks like I’ll have to fight after all.

I stopped and quickly caught my breath. Getting ready in an L stance. Ready to take what they dish out at me.

I could hear their footsteps stamping on the hard concrete floor as they neared me. The sound of their boots echoing of the walls to either side of me.

I gripped my fists tighter and relaxed into my stance. Well tried to anyway.

I evened out my breathing. Then, they arrived.

“Well well. Stopped for us did ya love? I was quite enjoying the chase. Making us work for our fun hey. That’s not nice of you.” the first man said. The second man never spoke. Maybe a few grunts of agreement here and there.

“You’ll have to be punished won’t you love. After all we never said you could run.” Then, without warning, the second man through a fist at my face.

I quickly blocked it with my left arm. Then went in for an attack.

I did an uppercut towards his face. Making his head shoot back and him to grunt out in pain. Good I managed to do some damage.

But of course it doesn’t stop there with him. And he’s really pissed of this time.

“Oh? So you want to fight now? Well love that can be arranged. Go for it harry” the first man said.

Then what I presume is harry made another punch for my face.

I blocked him once again, but he’s learnt from his mistake and goes for my stomach with the other hand.

I try my hardest to block him with my right arm but I’m not fast enough and the hit makes it through. Landing a very pain full blow to my stomach. The punch was so powerful it sent me to the ground.

As I landed on the floor a scream left my mouth.

Uncontrollable pain ripped through my abdomen. I could hardly breathe. But I couldn’t give up.

I will not let these disgusting men have their ‘fun’ with me.

I fought through the pain to stand up.

Again harry came at me. I could see his smug smile. He was proud that he had managed to hit me. That douche. He’s proud of the fact he hit a girl.

He stuck with his fist and when once again for the abdomen. I moved to the left donging his fist by an inch.

He turned around and brought his left fist once again towards my face. I’ll have to attack after this one I can’t keep dodging throw after throw I’ll tire before him because of my abdomen.

With great pain I lifted up my right arm and shoved his arm away leaving his body open and vulnerable.

I punched him in the gut. Got he’s squishy there. I could tell he needs to lose a few pounds.

I then lifted up my right leg and kicked him in the balls. Making him fall to the ground screaming in agony.

If I do say so myself I do have a very hard kick. Hopefully he’s down for the count.

“You little bitch” uh oh I forgot about the other one.

I turned around to face the first man just in time to see him lunge at me.

I tried to bring my fist up to defend myself but he was too close.

Shoving me to the ground causing me to smack my head hard against the concrete floor, making my vision go blurry for a few seconds.

I looked up to see the man straddling my waist. Fist clenched above me.

“Your goanna pay for that you bitch” then he punched me in the face. Ow shit that really hurt.

Punch after punch towards my face. So much pain.

I needed to get my head together.

I slowly wiggled my legs. Luckily I’m a very flexible person so the next move I tried I succeeded with.

I lifted my legs up fast and with the momentum wrapped my legs around the man’s head and shoved him to the ground.

I then straddled him and repeatedly punched him in the face. Really, really hard.

When I was sure he was knocked out I got off him.

I wobbled about a bit as I stood up. I fell against the wall to my left.

I could feel something dripping down my face. You don’t need to be a genius to realize it was blood before I touch it.

God I’m so tired.

Fuck if only I had my phone everything would be alright. But no. Neenah’s mum was afraid it would be stolen so I had to leave it at the apartment we were renting.

I suddenly had the overwhelming emotion to cry. I was stuck in Liverpool in pain and in the dark. I was just attacked and one of them was still moaning on the floor.

No. I can’t cry I will not cry. I haven’t cried since I found out my parents were getting a divorce and I promised myself I will never cry again. It’s a sign or weakness. I know stupid thing to say but it’s what I believe in. I’m not forcing it on you.

I need to get out here before ‘harry’ gets over his pain. Though I don’t think he will for quite a while.

I started walking to my right. Down the alleyway once again.
