Not So Brave Anymore

Clara was completely surrounded and had nowhere to escape. She was very far away from the school building, so nobody could possibly help her, even if she screamed for help. Clara was really scared as she realized she was at their mercy, but she wasn't going to let them see her fear, so she kept up a bold and courageous act.

“I don't have time for your silly games," Clara stated firmly, staring directly into Steven's eyes. "If you think I will be cowering in fear because of you, then I am sorry to tell you that you have made a big mistake, and you just proved to me that I am right about you alone. I am right when I said you were nothing but a coward!”

Steven was quiet for a while, and Clara decided to talk more. “And trust me, you are going to pay for what you did to that innocent boy. That's not a threat; it's a fact," she said confidently, hoping to intimidate him. Then she finished speaking and turned around, facing forward, resuming her trek, hoping she had talked her way out of trouble.

As she walked, however, one of Steven's boys was still standing in the way. She said a silent prayer in her heart, praying he wouldn't stop her from passing. She had nearly passed by his side when he stretched out his huge left arm, blocking her off. Clara's heart skipped a beat, but she kept on playing tough and in control.

“Will you get your arm out of my face?" she said in a threatening manner, hoping to scare him off, but he just stared at her like a lifeless zombie. Clearly, he only takes orders from his boss, Stephan. Clara turned to Steven's direction. “Tell your friend here to get off my path now!!" she ordered sternly, her voice carrying authority.

“Sorry, but I am afraid I can't do that," Steven said, then took some steps forward. “Seize her!" he ordered, and immediately Clara found herself being lifted and placed on a giant's shoulder.

“Drop me down immediately!" she yelled at him, struggling to break free. Steven laughed dramatically. “You should have known by now he only listens to me. You are not in charge here. I am! And I am about to teach you a bitter lesson you won't forget anytime soon," he grinned at her, then turned facing the thick bush. “Boys, bring her along," he ordered, and his minions disappeared into the trees, carrying Clara with them.

“Help! Someone help me! Please, anyone!" Clara screamed, and she kept trying to free herself from the giant's grip by hitting the back of the boy with her hands multiple times, but it was like he was immune to pain. He just kept walking.

“You can scream all you want. You see, no one will hear you, and nobody is coming to save you. You messed with the wrong guy," Steven said, taunting her.

Clara's tough act was long gone by now. Her face was like that of a scared little mouse that had just been cornered by a family of hungry cats. Her heart kept beating at an abnormal speed as they took her further into the woods. She kept wondering what they had in mind to do to her. Nothing like this had ever happened to her, and so many thoughts were flooding into her mind. Gang rape? The thought of them inside her was so irritating that she felt like vomiting. It was also very much scary, and she found herself screaming even louder for help.

“Drop her over there,” Steven ordered with a sneer, and his minions obeyed immediately. Clara was dropped down without any form of grace in it. Her head hit the grassy ground hard, and she felt a sharp pain from that.

“Tell me, what should I do to you?” Steven asked, his voice filled with sadistic pleasure.

“Please... let me go,” Clara pleaded in pain, her voice shaking.

“You know I can't do that. I will tell you what I can do, though,” he said, then took some steps closer to her, his eyes gleaming with wickedness.

His face was inches away from her right ear, and she could hear and feel his disgusting breathing.

“What's the problem, huh? Not so tough anymore, right?” he whispered into her ear, relishing in her fear, and smiled widely, showing all his white teeth.

He then withdrew himself away from her, turned his back on her, and pondered what he should do to her.

His three minions stared at Clara lustfully, and it was as if they were just waiting for his order to pounce on her and devour her....

Although standing up for Mathias had landed Clara into a serious predicament, she wouldn't have changed a thing if she had the power to reverse the hand of time. She would have done nothing different; she would have still fought for him.

That's her nature. She can't help herself from defending those she feels are being oppressed, but after this encounter with Steven, she might start to see things differently...

Steven finally turned and faced her. “Bring her to me,” he ordered, his tone laced with malice, and Clara was lifted by two of his minions.

They forcefully lifted her and made her kneel in front of him, both of them holding her down so she wouldn't be able to run away.

“Today is your lucky day. You are about to know what my d**k tastes like,” Steven said, and Clara felt like she was drowning, her eyes widening in horror.

There is no way in hell's name she will do that, never!

She tried to fight her way out, but then Steven grabbed hold of her by the hair of her head.

He pulled on it so hard that Clara felt like her hair was about to be uprooted from her skull.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhh!” she screamed out in pain, her mouth wide open, tears streaming down her face.

Just what Steven wanted. He unzipped his pants, and his huge rod came out, making Clara's eyes pop out in horror.

Steven was about to insert his d**k into her mouth when a thick, angry growling sound came from inside the woods.

It sounded like an angry wolf, and it gave Steven and everyone a fright. Clara had fallen to the ground.

“What was that?” Steven asked, quickly zipping up his pants.

“I don't know, but it sounded like a wolf,” one of his friends said, looking terrified.

The growling sound came forth again. This time it sounded angrier, and it seemed it was much closer to them.

“Let's get out of here,” one of his friends said, totally panicking.

Clara, on her part, didn't know if she should be relieved about this scary noise they were hearing. True, it was distracting Steven and his friends from doing all the horrible things they had planned to do to her, but this creature was also a threat to her life.

“Run for your lives!” Steven yelled, and it was like a scream triggered everything.

A big, huge white wolf came flying out from nowhere. It was the most terrifying creature Clara had ever seen, yet it was also the most remarkable.

Its eyes were blue, its gaze was piercing, its head was four times the size of a normal wolf, its teeth were long and sharp, and its claws left huge marks on the ground as it walked.

The creature slowly walked to meet them, snarling.

Steven and his friends took flight, running as fast as their legs could carry them. However, Clara didn't run; she couldn't. She was too scared to move, too frightened to stand up, so she just lay on the ground, watching as it came closer to her.

The creature drew so close to her that she was sure it would attack her. She closed her eyes tightly, anticipating the horrible moment when she would feel its sharp bite. Her heart was racing, and thoughts of all her loved ones played in her head like moving pictures.

Then she realized it was taking an awful lot of time for the creature to attack her. It hadn't even made a move yet. She slowly opened her eyes, but she was left shocked when she saw that it was no longer there. How come? Where did it go?

Did she just imagine all of that? She pondered, but then she saw a giant print the creature left behind on the ground, and it became clear she hadn't imagined anything. The creature was real.

She stood, searching around with her eyes for it, but it wasn't anywhere to be seen. It had completely vanished. But what if it comes back? Clara wasn't sticking around to find out. She ran out of there and didn't stop or turn to look back at any point until she got to the main road.

All the while, the creature was watching and following Clara from a hidden position until it saw she was safe. Then it turned back and started walking deeper into the woods.
