A Penny for your thoughts?

Diana knew that this was going to happen. A baseless friendship is nothing but a fragile glass. Diana thought since they've only known each other for a few days, she cannot easily tame a lion with a flick of her hand. It's such a shame because she thought there was a tiny bit of sincerity and truthfulness in Scott's eyes, but she was wrong.

The years of pain that Scott endured, and the anger that he kept made his heart turn to stone. Scott locked his heart where only him has the key. Then again, she was nothing but a plaything in his vacation in paradise.

The food for dinner, that was supposed for Scott and Diana, was already cold. Diana didn't have the appetite to eat so she just waited there until the island staff she called arrives. A moment later she heard footsteps approaching the balcony.

"A penny for your thoughts?," a man spoke from the dark.

Diana froze as she recognized the familiar voice. She squinted at the direction where she heard it. When her vision adjusted, she saw three blonde men. One of them is William.

"I don't think I invited you here", Diana stood up defensively as the men approach. Her heart started to pound so hard like it's going to pop out of her chest.

"Looks like your date left you? Maybe me and my friends can join you," William said as he sat on the baluster. "This is Ryan, and this is Tommy", pointing to his friends who were already blocking the way out of the balcony and the french door going in the bungalow respectively.

"Man, you're right. She's… a goddess", Ryan said as he checked Diana out from head to toe licking his lips like a maniac. "I might not get enough of her", he smiled eerily.

"Please leave before I call the security.", Diana warned, keeping her cool to hide her fear.

"I'd love to see you try", William said with a smirk.

Diana trembled as she leaned her hand on the table. She knew that with one move, these men will attack her and can easily take her down.

'What am I going to do? Someone help me', she thought.

Diana quickly took the steak knife on the table and pointed it on her neck. This shocked the three men as they widen their eyes and stood alert on their foot.

"I am not afraid to die. Come near me and I'll show you", Diana said with full conviction.

"She's bluffing! Go get her Tommy!", William commanded as he nodded at Tommy.

Tommy approached closer as Diana stick the knife deeper on her neck until it bled a little. By the time Tommy was within Diana's reach, she suddenly attacked Tommy and stabbed him on his shoulder. Tommy wailed in pain and before he fell on the floor, Diana stabbed him again on his leg.

"Who's next?", Diana asked. It's a good thing that her mother made her get trainings for self defense. Diana never thought it would come very useful. She realized at the end of the day, she will be her own knight in shining armor.

"What the.. you crazy b*tch! I'm gonna tie you up, and suck you dry like a pulp!", William shouted in anger as he clenched his fist.

"I'd love to see you try", Diana said with a straight face.

Tommy was crying in pain as he dragged himself to the corner. William signaled Ryan to come closer to Diana at the same time. Ryan jumped on her first, but Diana was able to dodge Ryan slashing his face with the knife. This made Ryan winced in pain and drop on the floor. William was able to grab Diana's hand and twisted it on her back, removing the knife and throwing it away.

"Game over, princess", William whispered on her ear as he licked her face trapping Diana from behind.

"I'm gonna slash your pretty face too!", Ryan said while pressing on his face.

Diana winced and stepped hard on William's foot then banged her head backwards hitting his forehead. She tried to run but Ryan caught her foot. She kicked him hard several times until he released her. Before she could run away, William slapped her hard, with her head hitting the floor boards.

Diana blacked out a little. She went back to her senses when she felt hands touching her legs. She kicked as hard as she can as she squinted trying to open her eyes. She felt blood gushing from her forehead, then wiped a little blood from her mouth.

She tried to get up but William punched her in the stomach. He tore her dress and tried to pin her down holding her wrists up as he tried to kiss her neck. Ryan was pinning down her legs as she kick him away.

Later, they heard an animal howl so loud. They didn't mind at first. William kept going until he heard an animal growl.

"G…g..guys.. sstop right now", Tommy said as he squeezed himself on the wall.

A pair of yellow eyes glowed in the dark.

William and Ryan stopped and let Diana go at the sight a big black wolf growling and walking slowly towards them.

Diana couldn't believe her eyes. She could barely see but she knows what just came.

"Easy.. easy..", William said as he stood up slowly. He grabbed a candle glass holder and threw it towards the wolf.

"Get away you piece of sh..", William shouted as the wolf attacked him biting his leg.

Ryan hit the wolf with a chair only to target him. He slowly backed up when the wolf attacked him biting his arm. Tommy helped William up and tried to get rid of the wolf from attacking Ryan before they ran away.

Diana used her remaining strength to sit up. She tried to cover up her bare chest while she positioned her self on sitting upright. She touched her forehead only to see blood. She turned her gaze on the black wolf who is slowly approaching her.

She gasped in fear and closed her eyes tightly with her hand in the air. She was surprised as the wolf licked her hand.

She opened her eyes and pat the head of the wolf. She sighed in relief. Then the wolf licked her face, somehow she felt comforted and smiled.

"Thanks, wolf", she hugged the wolf before she lost her consciousness.
