Rainy Days

Chapter 1

Hi. My name is Nina, Nina Fujiwara. Apart from not having any relatives, no friends and living in a tiny studio apartment by myself, I'm just your average 18 year old girl. I do chores, eat food and I have a job that pays just enough for me to pay my rent. I work at a little night cafe a few blocks away from where I live, unfortunately though I don't have any sort of transportation so I have to walk to and from work every day. I also have a day job working as a janitor at the middle school I used to go to though, which is incredibly gross. If you've been in a tween boys bathroom or locker room then I'm sure you know what I mean.  "I'm going home now, lock up when you're done Nina!" Stacey, my boss yells, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Okay!" and with that, she leaves. I wish she wouldn't leave me here alone. It's creepy at night. You never know who or what could be lurking around outside waiting for the right oportunity to attack. I'm too young to die. I'm almost done sweeping though so I should be able to leave soon. "It looks like it's going to rain soon.. I hope I can make it home before it does. " I sigh, looking out the window at the gray clouds. I finished sweeping and put the broom back in the janitors closet/ Shoot! I didn't even bring my unbrella!! I better hurry home then if I don't want to get caught in the rain. I grab my phone, lock the doors and start walking.  I have the next two days off which means I get to sit in my comfy pajamas, eat ice cream, popcorm, drink soda and watch tv. The upside to having no friends is that there is nobody trying to bother me on my days off. I get to relax and not worry about anything at all. I get to watch my favorite shows with no interruptions and I don't have to pick something that everyone likes to watch/. My mom and I used to do that every weekend, we would grab everything we needed, go to her room and binge our favorite shows. It was the absolute greatest, happiest time of my life. I was suddenly snapped out of my thoughts when I felt cold raindrops hitting my skin. Great, I'm not even halfway home and I'm too far from the cafe to turn around and shelter myself. I start looking around for somewhere to hide in. I spot an alleyway and run over to it. "Maybe I should call a cab.." I pull out my phone and try turnning it on, only to realize it's dead. "Great. No unbrella, it's raining, my phone's dead and my clothes are getting wet." I look up angrily at the sky that is so rudely pouring out all of it's cold, wet juices all over the place. I stand there a couple minutes in silence, contemplating if I should run the rest of the way or wait out the rain when suddenly a pair of arms wrap themselves around me. One arm going around my waist while the other hold a cloth to my face covering my nose and mouth. I immediately hold my breath. I'm not stupid, there's most likely that weird Chloroform stuff on it. I try my hardest to twist and turn, throwing my arms and legs at the person in attempt to loosen their grip on me but to no avail. "Come on baby, breathe." He coaxed softly into my ear. Why, Why does it have to be me?! I'm too young to die. Please, someone tell me this is just a bad dream, that this isn't actually happening right now, someone please.. I struggle against the man but it's not working. I start kicking and thrashing around even more within the mans hold, throwing my feet back in attempt to kick him hard enough he'd let go. "Shh shh, It's okay Nina. I'm not going to hurt you." He whispers, gripping me tighter. "You can't hold your breath forever.. you're going to give in either way, it's just a matter of if you'd prefer to do it your way or the quicker, much less painful way." He's right. I can't hold on forever, but I'd rather fight and hold it for ad long as I can than give into him willingly. His grip around my waist is getting tighter and tighter, I'm positive that I'll have a nasty bruise later on if I manage to live. I thrash around within his grasp a few more times before he aqueezes me impossbly tighter pushing out the little air I was holding onto. I quickly start gasping for air and almost imediately start feeling weak and lightheaded. I can't move quick enough to put up much of a fight anymore. "That's it hun, just breathe. Everything will be okay." with that my vision blurs and I drift away into the darkness.
