someone help me.” I moved away and then came face to face with this creature.  I gasped in shock and try to back away as fast as I could. He followed my body’s movement with intense curiosity and moved in unison towards me and then in a swift movement his body was on top of mine. I tried to fight him off but he was extremely strong and I had now power against such strength.  He grabbed my arm and pulled it to the back of my head and I could feel my hands sink into the mud. He moved his head up to mine and smelled the small of my neck.
     
    “You know what you smell like to me?” I begged him to stop.
     
    He touched my body again and I tried to scream but no sound came out, I was in too much shock.  He grabbed my arm and yanked it to the side. Pain flooded my mind.
     
    “You know what you smell like to me” he said again.
     
     I suddenly found me voice and shouted out “Leave me alone! Stop it!”
     
    He ignored my protests and leisurely replied.
     
     “Like a donor.  Didn’t your mummy every tell you not to walk into strangers backyards?” He said breathing deeply.
     
     I shivered and swallowed hard as he glared at me with more hatred than I had ever seen in anyones eyes. He ripped my dress in one strong movement and licked the sore on my leg.
     
    “What kind of freak are you?” I cried out in disgust. He seemed to enjoy every moment of the sick mind game he was playing.
     
    A movement on my right attracted my attention. Daniel stood watching me, his eyes sent a warning to stay still. His finger gesturing for me to be quiet. I tried not look at him and focused my eyes on the crazy guy who has released his firm grip on me. I could not stay put and immediately crawled back again, but he had me and it felt as if there was no way out. In one sudden movement without warning, Daniel jumped off the tree and faced my enemy.
     
    My head was spinning. I felt relief flood my whole being.  I really had no idea what to make of everything . What kind of a human being jumps from such a tall tree without hurting himself?
     
    “Zach!  Stop it!” Daniel demanded my attacker. He left me at once and jumped to his feet. I crawled away from him as fast as I could.
     
    My attacker gave Daniel a look that I couldn’t really place and then snarled at Daniel. I took the whole scene in with intense concentration. Zach gave a frustrated growl and stepped towards Daniel, but suddenly turned around with a last regretful glance at me and took off at lightning speed. I had never seen anything move as fast before. Within seconds he was gone. This was way too much for me and I suddenly felt very faint.  Daniel swiftly, but gently caught me with his arm around my waist and picked me up like a child.
     
    I could feel his cold hard body pressing into my soft curves.  I had never been this close to a guy before and it awakened new feelings in me. Most of all I felt safe.  He walked briskly and I did not think to protest once for him to put me down. I was in a trance and felt completely mesmerized.  In the distance I caught a glance of the store as we approached the opening in the woods. I was so close, but yet so far from it.
     
    I shivered in his arms and he looked into my eyes with his unusually green eyes. “Thanks for saving me. How do you know that guy and why did he listen to you?” I asked breaking the silence.  I could feel his arm muscles pulling me closer and then with a sudden change of emotion he dropped me unexpectantly to the ground. I gasped in surprise. “You really are a stupid girl!” he said looking at me with disdain. The change of tone was weird.  It looked to me as if this whole day would become even more unimaginable. How could someone go from being so loving to an absolute jerk?
     
    “How could you be such a jerk?  I made an honest mistake, I got lost!” I said my voice quivering with shock.
     
    “You could’ve had yourself killed”
     
    I was speechless. I could feel tears streaming
