So if you haven’t read this fic read on!!!**

Night Attack

Jo

I walked quickly down the dark street. I was a publisher and had been working late. It was 9 o’clock by the time I left the building and I wanted to do was go home to my flat and have a nice, soothing bath. I normally shared the flat with my best friend from work, Beth but her mum had become ill and she’d been away for a few days now and I didn’t know when she was coming back.

The publishers was quite away form the High Street so I had to walk down a few side streets. Normally when I left work it was still light but as I’d been working late the streets were pitch black and quite scary.

As I walked along all I could hear was the click of my shoes on the pavement but soon I thought I could hear a second pair behind me. I turned around but couldn’t see anything behind me. I could definitely hear footsteps behind me though so I started to walk faster. Suddenly I could hear the footsteps running and as I turned around I could see a figure running towards me. I didn’t care if he was a harmless jogger now; I was just too scared. I started to run as fast as my high shoes and skirt would allow me.

The sudden force that hit me form behind caused me to pitch forward and I landed heavily on my hands and knees on the concrete. An arm looped round my waist and roughly lifted me to my feet as a large hand was clamped over my mouth. The arm around my waist had my arms pinned down to my sides as he began to drag me backwards down a small alley. He slammed me hard against the wall but kept his hand pressed over my mouth.

I got my first look at him. He had dark greasy hair that hung down his face and he was looking at me with cold, hard eyes.

"Now I’m going to take my hand away and if you scream you will seriously regret it bitch," he growled at me.

I nodded my head. I couldn’t breathe, partly from fear but mainly from the hand restricting the air through my nose and mouth. I would agree to anything so he would take his hand away. He took his hand away slowly and I breathed in a grateful lung full of air then screamed as loud as I could in the faint chance that someone would hear me.

My scream was cut off as I received a stinging blow to the side of my face.

"Bitch!" he swore loudly.

"What do you want?" I asked quietly. "I haven’t got much money."

"Perhaps I don’t want money," the man grinned casting an eye down my body. He pressed me against the wall with his body and unbuttoned the top of my blouse.

I tried to knee him but it didn’t seem to affect him and all I got was another blow to my face. I could feel something warm trickling down my chin and I strongly suspected it was blood.

"Just shut up and enjoy it," the man growled as he began to kiss my neck and his hands started sliding up my legs.

I let out a whimper of fear and felt a few tears slide down my cheeks. He was going to rape me then probably kill me. This was all a nightmare and I couldn’t believe it was happening to me.

Suddenly the man was heaved off me and I watched as a new stranger swung a strong punch into my attackers face.

I slid down the wall in relief and pulled my knees up to my chest. I hid my head in my arms as I heard someone say, "Get out of here you scum!"

Then hands were helping me up gently and this new stranger was cradling me in his arms as I cried.
