  Chapter 4

  Kyra‚Äôs pov

  It had been a long day at the yard with a lot of strange things happening, I just wanted to go home and relax. I had already said bye to Blue... sort of... and now all that was left was to go say bye to Keano. He stuck his head through the top part of his door as he heard me coming, I stroked his face and ruffled the part of his mane which fell onto his face from between his ears and threw an apple into his manger behind him.

  I left Keano and walked past Jadie's car and up towards my car, I pulled the satchel off my shoulder and searched for my keys, upon finding them continued to pull them out. I was practically at my car when I heard an unwanted voice behind me

  "Well well well if it isn't Miss Kyra Blackwater" the voice brought a chill to the deepest part of my body. It also brought back an unwanted memory...

  It was a quiet night as we walked home, we had just finished watching a film in the local cinema and although Lucas had a deadline of when to be home, he still decided to walk me home. To be honest I was grateful as I was never keen on being out when it was dark.

  He kissed my forehead as we walked and I looked up to him ‚Äúthank you for tonight. I really enjoyed myself and think that we should do it more often‚Äù we was walking through a cul -de - sac when he responded "yeah sure not a problem babe". we reached the bottom of the cul-de-sac and stopped at the opening of the shortcut I had to take to get home quicker, it wasn't lit up and I was hesitant to walk though, he noticed this and offered to walk me though, I gratefully accepted the offer and we walked through but we only got half way. I felt a heavy force pushing me backwards with the aid of a foot behind me I fell backwards into the bushes. It was then he continued to rape me.

  He made me who I was today but in a way it was good as I always made sure the people closest to me were always safe He ruined my life once and I wasn't going to let him do it again.

  the sudden voice startled me causing me to drop my keys,

  "Lucas... what a surprise to see you here" my voice came out stronger than I thought it would which I was glad of as I didn't want him thinking I was weak. I slowly turned around to face him, to face the guy I had once trusted with everything.

  "You would be surprised at how long I have been watching you Kyra" he had a smug look on his face and chuckled as he spoke I remained silent waiting for him to continue which he did

  "You know... the only thing that gave you away was the fact that you continued what you loved the most" this time it was me which spoke up and challenged him in return

  "So Lucas... what might that be"

  "Well... let me tell you..." he shook his head from side to side smugly, knowing that my guard was dropping he started towards me.

  "Your riding of course!" he threw his hands in the air to say can't believe you didn't know and continued towards me. I noticed him approaching me and continued to back up towards my car

  ‚ÄúYou moved... I moved, I‚Äôve been watching you grow up and turn into the lovely girl you are now. I've watched you go out with friends. I've watched you go out with guys and each one never worked... if its my fault then I am truly sorry" he smirked "But through it all you never seemed to get my message..." by this time my back was firmly pressed against my car with him within inches of touching me.

  I played Innocent, something I was good at but everyone knew it was false "I don't know Lucas, what did you tell me nevvver to do" he sighed and shook his head.

  He placed his head within millimeters from my face and spoke just above a whisper but I could tell he was being deadly serious "I told you to NEVER run from me!" I attempted to slide to my left to escape his looming presence over me but was blocked by his right arm which was placed firmly on the car behind me "Don't even think about it" he warned but I was already looking towards my right, he was one step ahead of me and blocked my other escape route off. I slumped against the car and dropped my satchel in a sign of giving up and I saw that he noticed also "Now that I have your attention maybe we can ta..." I took the second advantage that I had and broke free, I ran aimlessly towards the stable block with the only purpose of escaping him. I heard him swear under his breath and give chase, I could hear his footsteps quickly gaining on me. I knew I had to escape. I could hear him right behind me and could hear his jagged breaths as he closed the gap between us.
