Winter was slowly blowing in from the east. It wouldn't be long before the air settled to bring in the cold. The beautiful colors of fall would give way to the color of white. The students would enjoy their time while it lasted. Especially with talks of a dance coming up in due time. Everyone had to prepare themselves to look their very best. To don themselves in vibrant colors and soft material. Those that could afford it at least. Julie walked down a hallway towards the exit doors. As she made her way outside and towards the parking lot. She caught a glimpse of a beautiful shade of auburn. The moment she turned her attention to look again. It was gone, replaced by a car leaving school grounds. She had taken note that it was Daniel's car. Perhaps he was dropping Aliza off home. Funny enough, she hadn't seen Hunter. Not in class or when the students took leave. She narrowed her eyes and jiggled her keys. After finding the narrowed and jagged silver key to her car. She unlocked it and got in. Desires to soak in a hot bath and get a glass of wine. The only thing in her mind at the moment. Everyone had a rough day, she was having hers. Aliza smiled at Daniel, lacing her fingers with his over her lap. She was supposed to have walked home with Hunter. She hasn't seen him since they parted ways during classes. It was odd to say the least. Better for her in a sense, she could spend more time with Daniel. Daniel chuckled at the angelic dreamy look on her face. The way her eyes shone bright to how happy she was. His heart swelled with warmth at the feel of her hand in his. " I'm glad I was given the opportunity to bring you home today. ", He said softly and chuckled at the light tint of color to her cheeks. " I am too, I missed you.", She replied with a smile playing on her lips. A gasp of shyness escaped her, as he lifted her delicate hand to his lips. The brush of his lips on her skin tingled up her arm. A promise of more affection to come. An exchange of loving looks, then the quiet settled in between them. Each left to their own thoughts during the car ride home.
Gina tugged her light grey sweater closer against her. The material just barely keeping her warm. It went from one nice warm day to slowly entering chilly afternoon. It didn't help that the sun was casted low. Sun rays just barely grazing the surroundings. It's warmth could barely keep up with the shifting winds. She nipped her bottom lip and took careful steps down the front stairs. She couldn't find Hunter to get her book bag back. Shame, she had home work to do. Even though they would be required to bring it in next Monday. Today was Thursday, if she couldn't get it back from him by tomorrow. She'd be in big trouble. She had always made sure to get her work done every day. Weekends were usually then left open for studying and spending time with Aliza. When her friend actually had time for her. Now she was with Hunter, things changed. A bright yellow flyer blew across the grass and landed against her sneakers. She stopped walking to stoop down and pick it up. The bold black letters read out, " Frosty's Winter Land ". She peered closer, reading over the smaller letters beneath. Surprised at the new little theme park opening near by. It would be nice to get away from all her worries. Maybe even enjoy a few rides, hopefully to get her mind off things. A sigh left her lightly glossed lips. She folded the flyer and held on to it. Her feet moving once more towards the direction of home. Hunter grumbled to himself as he searched the halls for Aliza. He came up empty handed and was forced to walk home alone. A phone call interrupted him from entering class. Unexpected news came from someone close over the phone. It caused him to lose twenty minutes of class. So he just skipped the period instead of attending. Gina's green book bag hung heavily in his hand. He gazed down at it and decided to make a stop on the way home. He took a short cut to the front of the school. Cutting time in half with quick steps. The news from before played over and over in his head. Keeping him entertained while he walked out and on to the side walk. Had he not looked up to see where he was going. He would not have seen something bad unfolding. Eric smirked to himself, shifting his black sports bag over to his right shoulder. He saw little Gina walking by herself out of school. Who was he to deny her a little company. She might very well just enjoy it. He took a few extra quick steps to catch up. Then threw his arm around her in an air of familiarity. A loud chuckle leaving him, " Hey there doll face. Looking a little glum, good thing I saw you. Your knight is here to save you. ", He mocked arrogantly and forced her to his side. Gina squeaked and pushed against him, " Stop it! There is a reason I'm by myself! It's called alone time. Don't you have friends to bully around?!? ", She snapped at him irritable. " Alone time? Not anymore. I'll keep you company, no need to thank me. ", He retorted smartly and stole the bright yellow paper from her hand. Ignoring her protests and keeping it away from her reach. His fingers unfolded the paper with ease. It took him a few seconds to read it. Then he turned his attention on her. His eyes full of lust and his other arm wrapping around her. " If you wanted me somewhere dark and alone. I could have just taken you to the back of my car. ", He commented with a full grin. She felt his thumb brush across her cheek. Observing him attempting to draw her in. She pushed against him and then stomped her foot on his. She used his abrupt pain, to shake him off and run. He pulled himself together and gave chase. A smirk on his face as she detoured in to an alley half a mile from the school. Eric knew the area fairly well. He also knew of a small wooded area near there. His pace quickened to catch her. She was feisty and quick natured. Just how he liked them. She would be worth the trouble, and not just because she was a virgin. Gina squeezed past an older couple walking by. Not even bothering to look back. She felt her heart hammer wildly in her chest. Her breaths coming out in to gasps. Long forgetting the yellow paper he stole from her. She couldn't believe that in one day. She had been harassed twice by the same guy. It irked her to no end. She traveled down the alley way with ease. Avoiding knocked over garbage cans and mud puddles. She couldn't remember ever having taken this way home before. She could see why now she hasn't. It was deserted and quiet, no one was around. Not to mention in fall, the orange and red leaves gave off a darkening look. The air was knocked out of her suddenly. Her head slamming against the ground. Everything spotted in front of her, then went black. Eric frowned in dismay, he wanted her awake. She was more fun when she fought him. He shrugged and tossed her over his shoulder. Taking a quick detour towards the small wooded area only seven minutes from the alley. He grew up in the area, so it was good that he knew where everything was. Once he reached the wooded area. He set her down on the ground, her hair flayed out around her head. She looked brilliant amongst the leaves coating the ground. His hand tapped her cheek a few times. " Come on doll face, it won't be as fun with you out cold. ", He teased creepily in to her ear. She awoke startled and scared, her eyes squinting at the dullness of her surroundings. It took a few seconds for everything to register. Then she was up and trying to fight to get away. Eric pinned her wrists above her head. Then shoved his knees down on her thighs. His other hand unbuckling his pants, " Shh shhh...just be quiet and you may enjoy this more. ", He whispered to her, making sure to muffle her screams. Tears escaped her widen grey blue eyes. An icy chill ran down her spine. This was not how she imagined it. Her first time. Her screams turned to frightened whimpers and sobbing. Eric blew her a kiss and moved to kiss down her neck. When she jolted away from his lips. He smacked her across the face and yanked her against him. He refused to be denied by any girl he wanted. Hunter followed them quietly and slickly. He doubted they had even noticed his presence. It turned in to a wild chase the moment Eric took off after Gina. He had to get to her. His stomach tightened in knots. The blonde knew the football team enough to know they would force themselves on a girl. Much proved his point at lunch that day. He skidded to a stop in the middle of the alley way. Unsure of where they had gone. His ears barely hearing scuffling and muffled screams near by. His feet moved on their own accord. He found himself minutes later in a wooded area. Hidden not far from the alley. Not many knew of this place. He doubted it was very popular. Spring green eyes scoured the area. Moving a long the trees and cringing at his shoes breaking leaves. Had he not moved as quick as he did. He wouldn't have been there in time to find Eric hovering over Gina. From a distance, he could see the other fiddling with his pants. His eyes drifted to find her shirt ripped open. It exposed her flat stomach and tradition pink bra. Rage built up within him. He grabbed a nearby thick stick and hit Eric over the head with it. Luckily it was heavy enough to knock him out. Gina screamed as Eric fell over her. Then got up enough to shove him off and start scurrying away. Until a pair of hands grabbed her. She wretched away and aimed to hit the offending hands. Hunter grabbed her wrists, " Gina!! Stop! It's me! I came to help! ", He hissed at her several attempts to kick and claw him. Her body tensed up in his grip. He had saved her twice now. She shuddered violently and pulled her wrists away. Trying to cover herself with her arms. Her sweater having been long ago pulled off of her. Hunter reached over and grabbed her sweater. Pulling the thin material over her shoulders. Then he with drew his jacket from himself and placed it around her. Her scared whimpers and with held sobs escaping her. " It's gonna be alright, he's knocked out. Let me take you home so you can put something on. I'm so sorry I didn't get here sooner. ", He gently whispered to her, drawing her in to his arms. She was hesitant, but let him pull her in regardless. Her body refused to relax, even as he rubbed her back and held her. The slow walk home with him was uneasy. Her parents would probably even question him. She just wanted to get home and back in clothes that covered her from the worlds eyes. Aliza sighed softly as Daniel cradled her to himself on the couch. He had shown her once again how much he loved her. She had returned his affections with her own. If this was heaven, she didn't want to ever leave. Her hand rested over his on her stomach. Her gaze drifting to his with a lazy smile. Her body barely covered in one of his button up shirts. He smiled at her and kissed her forehead. His fingers expertly running up and down her back. His other hand nestled with hers. She looked so breath taking in his clothes. Maybe a little too much. He lifted her in his arms, carrying her back upstairs to his room. An excited squeal left Aliza. Her arms wrapped around his neck. A young woman stood in the doorway of a bricked house. Her eyes searching the dimming streets for her brother. Long manicured fingernails tapping against the white wood wrapping around the door way. She was growing agitated, he told her he would be home once school was over. After all, it wasn't every day your sister came to visit for awhile. A smirk appeared on her cherry red lips. Well well well...looks like the she wolf was back in town. Ready to sink her claws and teeth in to a certain someone. " Dear brother, I always keep my promises. ", She murmured to herself and tilted her head. She held herself like a proper lady. Underneath all the make up, was a completely different story.
