Lila’s POV
My feet were working in overdrive; as soon as I heard her plead for help, I knew I needed to get there as soon as I could.
The town wasn’t far from the beach; I climbed over the fence that separated the beach from the rest of the town and made my way through the dark streets only lit by a couple of street lights. It was late, so there weren’t many cars on the road, but I had to pause for a moment for a car to pass before quickly crossing the street.
I picked up speed as her screaming grew louder.
“Please, stop!! I did nothing wrong. You can take what you need, but please leave me alone!!”
She was sobbing as she pleaded those words. I couldn’t hear what her attackers were saying, their tones were deep and mushed into one low sound.
I did hear some laughing though.
