 Chapter 1- Lord Creep

 --------------

POV Rain

I have principles and I am very much determined to kill one friend once I get myself out of this situation. But Lord help me if I knew the first thing how!

So you’re probably wondering where I am and what the situation is exactly?

Well picture a cold wet moonless night and a street from Charles Dickens; novels with little light. Now turn right and walk down a completely dark gloomy side street where people usually keep their rubbish containers and old furniture for collectors.

Got the picture? Do you feel the cold, the creeping pressure of darkness? The rain and the dullness of night?

Well now see the four guys dressed as gang lords carrying swiss- knives/blades surrounding the girl with the fear stricken face and ass firmly on the wet floor and her hands behind her gripping the concrete floor with bleeding nails?

Yes? Well that’s me. Rain Lly. Yep, I can see the irony, raining and I am called Rain. You need to focus! I am about to be slashed to death and forcefully rapped if I don’t accept Mr Lamp’s proposal of working for him as one of ‘his girls’. Yes, that means he wants to be my pimp. Although I think there is something else sinister about being ‘his beauty’.

‘C’mm on babs, you know you’ll get paid well. You’re beautiful, business will be good’ Said the hairy grizzly, Mr Lamp. His voice sort of does this weird drool sound like a dog. His eyes have been slowly caressing my body for the past five minutes and it feels like he is touching me.

My fear has reached the level where I am visibly shaking. I am frozen and cannot respond. My brain however is in over-drive.

So how did I get myself into this one? It is believed by many we make definite choices as to what we wish to do with our life and aim to fulfill our destiny and fate comes along for the ride to nudge us on when we are led astray by wants and well friends. In hindsight we often see that events and circumstances lead us better towards our true hidden destination.

I know my destination. I want to be a doctor and I am starting my first semester in exactly 2 days at Edger College. I will not be a prostitute, but do you see any other options for me now?

‘Lamp, Derek said to bring her in, he wants her now’ Said the goon to the right of Mr Lamp.

With the mention of Derek my attention snapped into place and anger replaced fear. That cold bastard is behind this. I knew it. Ever since Liz flirted with him on the night bus we have had nothing but bad fortune. We are trapped in this god-forsaken town, Lisa goes missing with that Derek jerk and I am being cornered by rapists and a pimp that looks like a dog that needs a wash.

I have not eaten since yesterday, I am focking cold, wet and now very angry.

I jump up and send them a death glare, I wish, really wish my glare could make them all drop dead.

Mr Lamp looks at me with a predatory look, and says ‘My prey wants to play’.  He turns to his goons and signals for them to step back.

He slowly makes his way to me when a noise is heard behind goon number three.

I don’t pay particular attention to the noise. I focused on the switch blade Lamp carries in his right hand, he is only holding it loosely. I quickly formulate a plan to kick his hand hard, resulting in him dropping the blade and breaking his wrist. I’d just as quickly turn to kick him in the mid-drift and knee him in his groin area if he attempts to grab me. Then land side-ways and swipe the blade he dropped.
