“Get away from me!” Nyota screamed. Her voice was thick with anguish and her breathing heavy. Blood was oozing out of her nose and she could taste the metallic liquid as it seeped between her lips. The pain was agonizing and she didn't know how much more she could endure. She was lying with her back on the ground, peering up at the daunting man hovering over her.
“You stupid bitch, you shouldn't have lied to me.” He snarled, his deep brown eyes piercing through her very soul. “You will pay.”
The man slapped her across her face, causing a yelp to escape. Nyota was wearing a pretty sundress, but now looked like it went through a grater. She fought him off earlier the best of her ability, but his strength was too great. She felt waves of agony and fear wash through her as he continued his beating. He rolled her over and Nyota sharply gasped as he ripped the dress up. Her underwear was then torn away and she felt increasingly shamed. Her wrists were bound tight and she could not escape the current torment. He did not wait as he took her, and her bloodcurdling scream echoed through the basement.

“Oh come on Nyota, just this once? Please!” Galia pleaded, pouting her lips. “You have had your nose glued to your textbook the past month! Plus, we need a girls night out.”
Galia had been trying to get Nyota to go to the bar with her for an hour now, and it seems that her patience is wearing thin. It has been a while, and she could use the break…
“Okay fine! I’ll go.” Nyota stated, walking to her closet. “But I pick out the outfit.”
Galia shrieked with glee and practically dashed to her closet. Nyota decided to wear a short, tight black dress and a pair of flats. There was no need to dress up too much; she wasn't trying to impress anyone. She only wore the tight dress because Galia would have a fit if she wore anything else. Once they were both changed, they set out toward the hover taxi. Her heart fluttered in her chest as she began to ponder if this was such a smart idea after all.
