A Near Miss

Two weeks after classes resume your world changes. The nip of fall is in the air, and the night begins to fall more quickly.

The sun is setting as you make your way back from class. You turn down a narrow road you use as a shortcut. A large shadow passes over you.

You wonder what kind of bird is that big. You look up in time see a human like creature with enormous bat wings bearing down on you. You break into a run.

You make it only three or four steps before it crashes into you. It slams you to the ground, knocking the wind from you. You taste blood, and you can feel it’s cock pressed against your back.

In a deep, cruel, growl it speaks. “I’m going to split you like a log, bitch.”

You flail about and land a blow to his crotch.

“You’re going to regret that, bitch.”

He slaps your face. It’s hard enough to leave you stunned.

You are barely aware as he tears your pants.

“Don’t worry, bitch. By the time I’m done you’ll be begging for more.”

On the Main Street you hear the noise of someone talking.

“Hel…” You manage to scream before a crimson hand covers your mouth.

“Hey, you!”

Suddenly, you attacker vanishes into the shadows.

“You ok?”

You look up a three men.

“I’m Wyatt, this is John and Evan. Can we help you back to the dorm?”

You nod, beginning to cry.

They bring you back to your dorm.

The next few weeks you try to leave your room as infrequently as possible. You’re always conscious of how many people are around and you avoid going out at night.

A week later you are doing homework one evening when your preppy neighbor Tara walks by. Her dress is torn and messy and she stumbles down the hall. You poke your head out.

“Tara, are you ok?”

She turns to you with a dreamy expression. “I’m fine…so fine…”

She smiles like she’s stoned and continues down the hall. All you can think is, did that thing get her? You cry yourself to sleep.

Another week passes and one of your classmates, Taylor, drops by with the homework.

“Erin, you need to get out more. Take a Krav Maga class with me. There’s one starting tomorrow.”
