Chapter Forty-Four
Her eyes hurt with crying. Her feet were torn to shreds. Leanne crouched down low, tucked behind a hedge in the middle of nowhere. She had no clue where she was or where she was heading. All she knew was that the house she’d run from several hours ago was behind her. How long had it actually been, she wondered? With no sun to go by, she’d no clue when she’d set, out but as it was fully dark now, she knew it had to be at least 5 pm. Her teeth chattered from the cold. Her soaked sweatshirt keeping the chill fixed on her body, but she was loath to take it off and reveal her complete nakedness. In her frantic rush to leave the room, she’d left her track pants on the floor. It had been a blessing her fingers had found the strength to turn the key and lock him in.
She closed her swollen eyes at the memory of what she’d done, what she’d had to resort to get him off her and protect herself from a violent personal theft. There was no way she was going to let that filthy pig of a man do that to her. Slobber all over her. Run his grubby hands over her body and snatch her virginity away like a dirty tissue. That was one thing her mother had taught her – when she chose to give her gift away, it was to be to someone she loved. She hadn’t been willing to give it up to anyone who felt they could take it. Leanne doubted she’d ever be able to wipe the experience out of her mind completely – the feeling of stabbing the soft side of his neck, driving the spoon handle in hard, and twisting it before finally tugging it out and driving it home once more. The feeling of shoving his sweaty bulk off her and clambering off the rumpled bed… His blood had spurted like a hosepipe turned on at the tap and shot across the room. God, how he’d bled . . . She glanced at her hands, knowing they were still red. His blood had long since dried on her skin; the rain had done little to cleanse them. Was he dead, she wondered? What about the others in the house – the girls, the woman? Had she now put them in danger somehow? Were the men searching for her, the thinner guy and the man with sausage meat for skin? They’d never have let her get away. She’d seen at least two of their faces, plus the woman, though she doubted she’d been part of things. That woman had saved her life.
As darkness had fallen, she felt safer to move, get herself to a road and find help, naked from the waist down or not. She couldn’t worry about her modesty now. Leanne wiped her face on her sleeve in a vain attempt to focus her attention on her situation and figure out what to do next, where to head.
