Cassandra Claire Kent - 17 years old
Cassandra Claire Kent, or Cassie as her friends often referred to her as, moved through the park. Her head tucked from the wind as she wore an old grey Kyle Larson Sweatshirt, dark blue skinny jeans, and brown snow boots. On her back was a small black leather backpack that held the pen a stranger had given her 12 years prior. Around her neck was a necklace that held an ancient name. Her dark hair stuck out from under the sweatshirt hood as she trudged along from work.
Her blue eyes watched the kids briefly before moving along. She paused when she could havesworn she heard footstep behind her, and turned slightly, scowling at a man who had trauled her from work to the park. She wasn't stupid, she knew the man was following her, as she had gone around a block twice, and even cut through the park to see if he was following her.... and the creep was. "Damn creep..." she muttered to herself.
Cassandra moved along, before darting, her boots heavier than her normal sneakers, which were in her bag, as she tried to run from the creep. She could hear the heavier footsteps get closer as they moved further from where the kids were playing. She skidded as she reached the fence line. Of where the park ended and the forest began. She cursed under her breath and hearing the footfalls get ever closer she scanned around, looking for anything to use. A heavy branch she picked up and swung, striking the man in the chest and she darted once more. Back the way she came, through the playground. Her breathing heavy in the crisp winter air.
"Alright, Cass, just have to-agh!" She let off a noise that sounded half like a cry for help and half like she did something stupid. She fell backwards into the snow, as her feet flew from under her as she slipped on the icy sidewalk. "Oof!" The air was knocked out of her for a moment and she slowly sat up, rubbing the back of her head. She slowly got to her feet, scannung for the creep, but saw him prowling on the other side of the playground watching her.
"Can't cut me a break can you?" She mumbled looking up at the cloudy sky. She had a strong belief as a Catholic, even if she didn't go to church all that much. She prayed everyday, and even had an obession with angels. She was convinced Archangel Gabriel saved her 12years ago from being run over, and she wanted to find him since to thank him. But never was able to even when he left a pen for her. She jammed her hands in her pockets as she trudged along. She hadn't had the greatest pick in her most recent boyfriend as he was obsessive, controlling, and abusive. She had asked for help or even guidance multiple times but figured this was something she had to do on her own. So she built up the courage to leave the abusive relationship, and she was pretty sure that was who was following her as the man's frame and jacket matched her ex's. A feeling of dread came over her as she watched the figure move around the playground and slowly towards her. She was a Senior in High School, and was going to graduate in beginning of june. Her ex was nineteen, and also a senior.
Her blue eyes looked up as she saw the dark brown orbs that was her ex's as he now stood close to her. She remained quiet and took an instinctive step backwards but felt his hand wrap around her small wrist. "Let go of me, Liam." She spoke in a warning voice, but could tell the older teen wasn't having any of it.
"Or what, Cass? I'm not hurting you, so that so called Angel of yours won't come. Not to mention, you shouldn't be walking home alone in such weather, something could happen to you." His tone was mocking her. She had told him about her experience with who she believed was Gabriel, and he made it known he didn't believe it.
"Liam, please, let me go." Her voice cracked now with terror as she tried to twist her wrist free from his grasp.
"Where's that angel of yours now, Cass?" He mocked as he pulled her closer so their bodies pressed close and she put her free hand between them as she tried to push him off of her. "I told you, he was fake. He isn't even coming. And, it just proves that I have no intention to harm you." The tone in his voice told Cassandra otherwise and she stamped hard on his foot, and pushed him at the same time. But his grip didn't losen and he took her with him as he stumbled backwards toppling into the snow bank with her landing on top of the older teen with an 'oof'.
"Look, it's good to see you, Liam but I should get going." She got to her feet but he sat up catching her wrist once more.
Please, God, please send me someone to help. She begged as she glanced up at the sky, as if expecting to see someone crashing down to her rescue. Her shoulders fell slightly as she felt Liam tug her along the path in the direction towards his house a look of defest written on her face. She was small, standing at 5'6" with a small thin frame and weighing in around 105-115 pounds. She planted her feet against the slippery sidewalk as she tried to break from his grasp. He was six foot two, with broad shoulders, and clearly strong even with his blonde hair and dark brown eyes. He simply pulled her along her boots slipping along the icy patch. She felt something different in the air, a tingly-electricity-kind of thing and something about it made her relax despite the terror rising in her, "Please help me." She begged as she twisted her wrist as she sent up a prayer to anyone listening to help her out.
