"Where are you, Alice?" My mother snapped at me immediately she picked up my call. I could hear the disgust in her voice and didn't need to be told that I was the reason for it.
"I'm in trouble, mom. Someone's trying to kill me," I said in a panicky tone.
My tone wasn't convincing enough for her because she snapped again: "You're looking for an excuse not to be at the wedding, aren't you? Even if you have to swim across the deepest sea, you must be here! And I mean it!"
She practically hung up on me. Although my hands were shaky, I tried dialing her line again. However, the phone got knocked off my hands before I could get anything done.
No, I got knocked down to the ground. And before I could react to what just happened, I felt a body mount on me forcefully.
When I got a clear vision who was on top of me, I realized it was a rogue. I tried to fight off the rogue but he seemed to be much stronger than I was as he pinned my hands to the ground while I screamed in fear.
The smell of rum and other mixtures hit my nostrils. And the bad stench that comes from him living in the woods made me want to throw up. Unfortunately, I was about to be his victim.
