1 Clara

A blue white glow spilled down through the Autumn leaves. The trees cast their inky shadows across the fields as I look out the window in leans against the door of the jeep. Listening to the pitter-patter of rain. I slowly shut my eyelids as the rainfall becomes heavier. The roof of the car danced with spray. When I opened one eye to peek at the beautiful cocktail -bluish sky watching the rain dance and fall on the leaves as if it was magic. Logan's eyes were glued to the road as the GPS showed they were 7 hours and 33 minutes from their destination where my family is waiting for us to arrive. My hair was a mess, the wind blew strings of hair and my face I tucked it behind my ear humming to my favorite song that was playing on my phone taking out my left earbud. Logan whose eyes were still glued on the dark road ahead said.

"you should put your seatbelt on" Logan nagged.

"Yeah I know" I said.

watching the road ahead of us there was nothing more than the night sky and the inky black shadow that covered the road. As the headlights cast light in the spot we drove on. I turn to reach for my seatbelt pulling it across my waist and then stop mid-way my gaze falls once again outside the windshield unclear what I was seeing coming straight towards us. Before I knew it the cargo truck had hit us with full force the car tumbled over an over shattered glass rain and on us. As the car came to its feet I lifted my head up from the dashboard. My field of vision was a bit of a blur. The smell of smoke filled the air I heard screaming as I touched my forehead. I looked around to see if my friends were ok.

I looked to my left where I was overcome with relief that Logan seemed to be found though his head was recasting on the stairwell his arm starched out he seemed to have held me in place while the car was tumbling. I turned to the back to see what the screaming was all about the moment my vision came into focus I realized that it was Lily who was screaming at Anthony who wasn't wearing his seatbelt when the truck had hit us. Before I could before I could react to what happened to Anthony. I heard a screeching noise that drew my attention. Everything became slow and quiet as if the world around me froze, memories and images flooded my mind as my life flashed before my eyes. That very moment I feared death when I realized there was nothing I could do to stop what was about to happen next.

A sense of hopelessness filled my heart as my body flung forwards. I tried to grab onto anything that I could find but couldn't find anything in time as I hit head first into the windshield I was flying through the air and next lying on the wet road. My eyelids grow heavy blood spilled from the fresh wound on my forehead and leg. Drifting in and out of consciousness I felt agonizing pain all over my body all I wanted to do was cry because of fear that I might die, that I might not see my friends and family again and I was in so much unbearable pain. Yet I just lied there forcing my eyes to stay open, ringing filled my ears.

It was the only thing I could hear as the car crashed into the tree. The rain grew loud feeling tired and worn out. I stopped fighting against the pain and I stopped fighting to keep my eyes open wishing the pain to go away. A tear fled onto the wet pavement as I drifted to sleep. I wake moments later only to find unbearable pain still lying and the middle of the road like a dead corpse. I tried to move my hand but didn't want to believe that I was paralyzed I gave it another attempt to move my hand this time with all my strength, yet I ended up with the same results. My eyes were filled with worry and fear. I was hurting too much to cry for help. I was hurting too much to cry at all. I was left only to panic.

I could hear the sound of a heavy man's footsteps and the sound of crushed glass underneath his shoes with each step he took. My heart would pound with a sense of goosebumps spread all over my body; he now stands behind me. I felt the intents stair of the men's eyes as if I was being stocked by a predator. the sight of the man's shadow made me quiver , as if he had been in some type of accident himself. I saw the whiskey bottle he was holding with a firm grip. He swung the bottle in the air and strike her and the head hard enough to put her to sleep. He takes me by the arm and roll me over than takes my by the back of my collar and slowly dragged me across the street into the field of tall wheat he kept whispering to himself as if he was talking to someone

"she still loves me! she still loves me! I know she does" the sorrow and anger rolled up and down and his shrill brittle voice. Crushing glass underneath his boots with every single step he took he stop right in his tracks and turned back his eyes drift it towards Logan who was steel behind the steering wheel with his seatbelt on he was struggling to take off his seat belt his voice was dry brittle as he call out my name falling unconscious as he hit the ground while the man turned in continue into the field. I slowly fall in and out of conscious I felt wet and cold my whole entire body was soaked my dress stuck to my skin my hair all wet and curly my feet was all muddy and the wound on my leg burned from all the muddy water flooding into my wound clearing his way through the field he came upon an empty spot he dragged me towards the center letting go of my collar my head hit the ground the man start to pace back in forward mumbled to himself then gaze at me as the of pain and fear showed in his eyes.

Walking closer the man confused me for his ex-girlfriend

" is that you Abby?" the man said.

Before I could respond the men crouch down tilted his head to the side while he cross-examined me

" You look like you're in a lot of pain just like I was when you left me for that rich bastard " sneering at me.

" please let me go, let me go I won't tell anyone please" I cried. clearly knowing he may cause the accident.

"shut the hell up!" He shouted as he hit with the back of his hand. My face stings. I bit the bottom of my lip to suppress the pain freeing out blood even though I was in pain I was more worried about his next action he would reflect on me if I didn't shut up.

" Good girl, I hope for your sake Abby didn't bring that rich bastard," he warned.

"why you do it, why did you leave me for him wasn't love enough" the men said. He turned around to face me and held the sides of my arm with his huge hands squeeze both sides of my arms with full strength. My voice was caught and my throat. I didn't know what to do or say I was too scared of the men. Slowly guiding me back to the ground he let go of me arms with a sigh and calm voice but with a sad crazy look of a love sick fool.

" he can't love you like I do he will never love you I'm the only one who truly loves you".

" That boy I saw early was him wasn't it the guy you lift me for he wants to come for you by the way" he smiled.

" Just tell me one thing, why did you do it? Why did you leave? answer me" He yelled with a cold stair. He smacked me with his right hand my check stated to burn as tears ran down my cheek

"Please let me go, I'm not your Abby please," I cried out again.

" Liar! Liar!" he Said. He grow anger and kicked her and the stomach then sits on top of me

Logan yelled. "Clara, Clara where are you" he seemed to be real close he must have followed my feet tracks. I yelled

" I'm head over hear"

" don't think I let you go to him, I'm going to make you feel just like me " his voice grows cold and filled with anger as he gouges out my left eye tearing it out of my eye socket as I let out a blood curdling scream and cried. I was completely defenseless against this man. So I could do nothing but watch the men eat my eyes. I was terrified of this man who was sitting on me seemed to be in joining himself to the fullest he moved a string of hair out of my face and smiled as he said

" I'm gonna make you wish you had died and the accident".

I cried "No please, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please don't do this please"

" It's too late to be sorry," he said with a drained voice then teared out my other eye. He covered my mouth with one hand and with the other hand he put my eye in my hand.

" You feel that it is your eye," he laughed. while he closed my fingers around it than he gets up and puts his shoe over my hand stomped on it over and over taking out all of his anger I cried and screamed as he repeatedly stomped on my hand I felt so much pain he then stop and dragged my body near a ditch filled with water grabbing me by the neck he chokes me as push my head under water I couldn't bar it any longer passing out the moment Logan came to my rescue.
