Suddenly another shadow appears behind her, sweat beginning to coat my skin as I realize there are two attackers and I'm outnumbered. I balance myself up with my palms still on the ground afraid to move.
Shane.
They both hover over me and Shane walks towards me, kneeling down and getting in my face.
"You spread your legs wide open for Danny Rider. You've whored yourself out to a man who won't ever commit to you but for your high school sweetheart who loves you so deeply?" I look up at him, tears start to sting my eyes. He slaps me hard and it burns. I feel weak and hopeless. My gaze starts to search for my phone and I find it next to my mother's arm.
Shane grabs my jaw forcing me to look up at him.
"Don't even fucking try it." He spits.
"Why? Why are you sick fucks doing this to me?"
Shane and Nora look at each other, evil expressions across their faces as they grin.
"Heartache bonds people together, you see. After the bar fight, we met and started talking, and looks like we both have something in common. We share the same particular interests.We both want you dead." Nora explains.
"You used your religion to get out of having sex with me but for him? You tossed it out like it's nothing and now you have his bastard seed inside you?" I cringe as Shane shakes my head by my jaw. "You're going to hell, sinful Ari Cakes.” He laughs wickedly.
"You're a predictable little whore." Nora walks closer to me as her hands tighten around the handle of the knife. My eyes widen and I start to crawl away from her but Shane prevents me from escaping.
"You think trapping Danny by getting pregnant will make him love you?" She slaps me hard. My cheek is hot and I grimace. She kneels before me waving the knife back and forth in front of my face. "He's not capable of love."
I raise my hand to punch her but Shane stops me and holds me down by both of my arms, retracting them behind my back. I begin to thrash.
"Please stop this! This is insane." I beg. They both ignore me.
"He's not capable of loving anyone. He’s not capable of commitment. He told me that the first night he fucked me. And holy shit, he fucked me hard, and good. He choked me as he pounded me. I can still feel his handprints all around my neck and I love the way he did that to me. He's a fucking God." She claps her hands and squeals as she remembers her nights with Danny. She says these things with the intention to make me jealous but I'm far from that emotion, I'm just trying to survive.
“It was painfully delicious the way he fucked me so hard. It made me beg for him. And sure enough,I did beg him for morebut he denied me. He denied me because he met you!”
She slaps me again.
"Please stop it! I'm pregnant, you wouldn't kill a pregnant woman!" I beg.
"You think this baby will make you special?" She threatens. "You don't even know how to please him the way he likes. You're fucking useless when it comes to his world! When I'm finally rid of you, he'll come back to me, I know it."
She's smiling so crazy, flashing her snarling teeth and then I feel it. The knife pierces through the side of my stomach and I let out a blood-curdling scream as the pain rips through me and I'm pushing her away. Shane lets my arms go and when he does, I manage to throw her down to the floor, pushing her with all the strength I have. I reach for my wound, but Shane stops me from trying to stop my bleeding.
Then I feel another sharp pain and I lose my breath. Shane drives a knife inside of me, this time from my back. He pulls it out and I scream as loud as my lungs allow me to.
He pushes me back down, my back hitting the floor and the back of my head collides with the ground, pain shoots through me and I feel like I black out for a couple of seconds from the collision.
This isn't happening. I'm going to die, pregnant.
Shane spreads my legs open with his knees. He's on top of me unbuckling his belt. I'm too dazed to move from how hard my head hit the floor, I'm weak but something else is draining from me causing me to grow even weaker.
My blood.
The realization of the real possibility that Nora and Shane may have drove through a major artery settles in and I'm spiraling down a black hole. Everything feels so heavy and it's hard to move a muscle. I'm gasping for air, attempting to scream but nothing comes out. My chest is heavy and it feels like an elephant is sitting on my chest.
"I've always wanted to fuck a pregnant chick." Shawn hisses into my ear. I manage to glance at his face and it looks like a demon has possessed his body. His brown eyes aren’t the same and he's grinding his teeth.
"This wasn't a part of the plan, we have to get out of here." Nora tries to pull Shane off but he pushes her off to the side.
"This won't take long."
My head falls back and my hands fall to the side of my waist. I'm defenseless. I manage to still hold onto my lower belly where it swells with my baby underneath my palm.
