Excerpt:
Just then I hear
sounds above the current noise. Steps on the river beach. I’m barely armed not
to mention undressed and unprepared. My razors might keep Starville peeping
toms at bay, but they’ll be useless against soldiers.
I hear steps
approaching and I wade away. In no time I find myself far from where I left my
clothes. My best chance to safely get out of this situation is to avoid a
fight. I can remain hidden if I move to the other side of the river behind the
rocks. If soldiers see me so vulnerable and naked, I’m doomed.
I need to hurry. I
have to head home soon and make sure my dad and siblings are safe.
The steps sound
like they come from only one person but I can’t be sure. As they sound closer,
I notice they come from my right.
I don’t know what
I’m more afraid of: the intruder being an armed soldier or the fact of being
caught so exposed.
Trying to not
splash attract attention, I put distance between me and the steps. Hiding
behind some bushes and rocks, I submerge myself, leaving only my head above the
water line.
I stand still.
Several minutes pass and I hear nothing. When I consider it safe to leave my
hiding place, I swim, splashing as little as I can.
Then I notice
something that makes my heart skip a beat.
I’m not the only
person here. There’s someone else
treading the water. I can’t see how many
people are around, but I can hear as someone else splashes.
A feel of panic
rushes hot through my veins.
I’m surprised no
one’s attacked me yet. Haven’t they seen
me? Does the splashing come from Starvillers hiding from the shots as well?
For a moment
there’s only silence. Then another shot startles me and I fight my body to keep
calm. I swim as fast as I can, not caring about silence anymore. Better to put
distance between myself and my possible enemies. The water and the current make my escape
slow. I reach a point where the water is only at my knees and I’m hiding behind
a trunk.
Then I see him.
A young man, so
tall and built that for a moment, I think he’s Sasquatch minus the fur. The
water only covers him around the thighs. No one in Starville, not even Rey, is
so big or built. His strong muscles reveal years of military training and hint
at the drug use that makes Patriot soldiers so inhumanly tall and big. Wet
strands of sandy blond hair run down his broad shoulders. A tattoo on his back
tells me he has been in combat and is to be respected. A soldier! Something
tells me he’s alone.
My stomach
clenches in panic. I’m terrified of Patriot soldiers. They are sadistic giants
and killing machines. The tonics they take to build their muscles and stature
make them extremely dangerous and violent. And horny.
I lose sight of
him for a moment. He emerges in a different spot where the water is deeper. He
is so tall, the water covers only up his waist while he’s standing. He must be
at least seven feet tall. When he moves I can see his most private areas. Every
part of him is enormous.
He’s in the very
spot I left my clothes. I could wait for him to go, but what if others come to
join him? What if they plan to camp here? I want to go home to check on my dad
and the twins. The possibility of being discovered with no one to witness when
he rapes me makes the hairs on the back of my neck prick. I won’t wait for the
coast to be clear, risking discovery and gang rape.
He doesn’t seem to
be in attack mode. The soldier is inclined and rubbing foam around his huge
torso. He is bathing! I suspect he has a good reason to be unbothered by the
shots. If he’s not startled, it’s likely whoever’s making the racket will take
his side.
Suppressing the
fear that runs through my veins, I force my mind to remain focused. For a
moment, I consider attacking him while he’s so naked and defenseless. I’ve been
practicing knife throwing with my rebel group. But I’m still learning and suck
at it. I rarely hit the target. Besides, Sasquatch’s nakedness and apparent
relaxed behavior are deceiving. I’m
armed while bathing, so he probably is too. What if he alerts his companions?
I don’t stand a
chance fighting against a trained unit of steroid-injected soldiers. At this
moment my only advantage is my knowledge of the hiding places of this river.
And stealth. I can do stealth.
He’s blocking the
only way to get my clothes and the safer spot to get out of the river. There’s a gargantuan rock behind him that reaches
not far from where I’m hiding. If I could climb it unseen, I could get back my
clothes and escape. The only other option is to swim to the other side, where
the current is too strong.
The soldier
submerges frequently and emerges several minutes after. I pay attention to the
soldier’s face. He looks extremely
sad. Sadness isn’t an emotion I
associate with soldiers.
When he rubs his
face with foam and closes his eyes, I silently approach the low part of the
current and climb the rock. I’m still naked and holding a knife awkwardly. If I
can pass him, I’ll hide on the other side and then dress completely unnoticed.
I put my foot on
the base of the rock. The water has made it smooth and slippery. There are few
places to put my fingers and climb on. But I manage to climb my way up.
When I’m almost at
the top, I toss my knife over the rock to free my hands. From here I can
confirm the soldier is by himself.
Sasquatch is back
under the water now and hasn’t resurfaced for a while. In spite of the danger,
I’m impressed. He has lung capacity.
The higher I
climb, the less visible I become to him. He finally emerges to take air, but I
hide until he goes back under.
I’m close to my
goal when my feet become slippery traitors.
I fall to the
water below me.
Butt first.
Straight toward the soldier’s head.
