Saving Jazlyn

Unrelenting; his hold on her

She screams out

Asking for help

No one comes

In a dark ally where no one can see he beats her

He drops her on the floor letting himself catch is breath

Waiting for her to stir so he can attack again

But not with fists this time

But with his mouth

Her shoves his tong sown her throat gagging her.

Disgust fills her

Hate sears through her blood making her strong enough to shove him away

But he is much stronger then her and this just makes him angrier

He shoves her back into the crease between the wall and the ground so she can not escape

He rips off her clothes and looks down with lust in his eyes

She is so scared at what she knows is coming

As he begins to touch her she starts to tremble

Squeezing her eyes closed as to not see his evil ones

She feels his fingers roughly pinch and twist her nipple

She feels his hot breath right above her mouth

She can smell the lingering alcohol on his breath.

As he pushes into her she lets out a gasp in surprise

She tries to scream as the tears roll down her face

He covers her screams up with his mouth again

Disgust overcomes her along with the pain and fear

She passes out

Waking up on a soft bed she starts to scream out in fear

Not knowing where she is frightens her.

Someone rushes into the room, but stops suddenly when they see the fear in her eyes

A gentle voice says calmly “Please stop screaming I will not hurt you.”

When her scream finally calm down to a gentle flow of tears the strange voice says “Now that’s better. I will not hurt you. My name is Itzel. You are in my house. I heard your screams in the ally and I took you away from the man who was attacking you. My mother is a healer, so she has mended your arm and your bruises…. “

While Itzel was talking she felt strangely calm, like her voice was soothing her. She did notice that at the mention of her arm she noticed a strange tingling sensation and realized that it must have been broken while she had been attacked. Looking around the room she could not tell what time it was as the curtains were closed rather tightly so to not let any light in while she had been sleeping. How kind of them The clock on the bedside table read 5:31 and she had no idea weather that would be am or pm.

Looking back up at Itzel she realized she had been talking while she herself had tuned her out completely while looking around at her surroundings.

“…and so now Celi and Jacob are real excited for you to wake up. They have been waiting for 3 days now. They’ve been kinda annoying actually”

Celi and Jacob? Who were they? oops must have missed that she thought 3 days? What? have I been asleep for 3 whole days?

“Sorry, but have I been asleep for 3 days?” she said shyly

“Yes and you have given us quite the scare. You looked awful when I brought you here from the ally.” Itzel said blushing pink, and found her right thumb very fascinating. When Itzel looked up she was shocked to see the girl shaking and with silent tears running down her face. She walked slowly towards the girl and when she laid a hand on her arm she jumped and started crying harder.

“Oh im sorry.” With concern in her voice “Shh Shh you’re all right now, you’re safe. I wont hurt you.” When the girls tears did not stop, Itzel started singing. She had a soft sweet voice that carried a melody beautifully.

“Come stop your crying it will be alright

Just take my hand hold it tight

I will protect you from all around you

I will be here don’t you cry

For one so small, you seem so strong

My arms will hold you keep you safe and warm

This bond between us can’t be broken

I will be here, don’t you cry”

Itzel stopped singing and sat down by the girl who had stopped crying to listen. “Sweetie what is your name?”

“Jazlyn”

“Well Jazlyn I want you to know that I will not hurt you. I promise.” Jazlyn looked into Itzel’s eyes and saw the truth behind her words. “Ok Jazlyn?” She nodded, breaking eye contact.

“Here lie back down and calm back down. We can get up in about an hour when everyone else will be getting up.” As Jazlyn laid back down Itzel climbed onto the bed and started to hum. She stroked Jazlyn hair marveling at the softness. She really was a pretty girl Itzel thought to herself. She had dark chocolate eyes and a smooth face. Her hair was shoulder length and a dirty blond color. From the look of her she was about 16 or 17. She was kind of small, but was curvy. Itzel remembered when she brought Jazlyn back to her house. She had no clothes on and was already starting to bruise. Her right arm was broken and she looked like she was going to get a black eye, but underneath all of her injuries Itzel could tell she was beautiful.
