menace in his voice sends a wave of fear through me.  I try to pull away, but his arm is wrapped so tightly around my body that I can hardly move.  The other boys start to form a circle around us, each one wearing a sinister smile. 
    “Please, let me go.”
    They all start to chuckle as the one holding me begins to walk backwards.  It takes a second for me to realize that they are pulling me toward the alley.  No!  This can’t be happening to me.  I’ve known these boys my entire life.  Sure, they’ve taunted me, even pinched my ass a time or two, but none of them have ever done anything like this before. 
    I start to scream, but his hand covers my mouth.  “Shh, Daisy girl.  We’ll make this fun for you.”
    As soon as the words leave his mouth, I start to fight.  Being barely five foot and a hundred pounds soaking wet, I know there is no way I can keep these guys from taking what they want, but there’s also no way I’ll make this easy for them. 
    When the back of my head connects with the boy’s chin, his grip on me loosens.  I jerk away from his hold and start to run toward the diner, hoping like crazy that Shelia hasn’t locked up yet. If I can just get back to her, I know I’ll be safe.
    “Help!” I scream as I continue to run.
    “Grab her skank ass!” I hear shouted from someone behind me, but I don’t stop running.
    I can feel them closing in on me, and I can’t stop myself from looking back.  All four boys are only a few feet behind me.  Tears start to fall when I realize that I’ll never make it back to the diner.  I look around, desperate to find someone to help me, but no one else is hanging around Main Street at this time of night. 
    Just as a hand grabs my arm, I hear the rumble of motorcycles heading our way.  Thank God!  I jerk my arm away again and run toward the sound.  I can see the lights from a few bikes coming down the road, and a small bubble of hope begins to form in my chest. I’m going to be okay, but the stark reality is once again forced in my face, as the boys get closer, tackling me from behind. 
    “You shouldn’t have run from us, bitch,” the one I head butted whispers in my ear. 
    He wraps his arms around my body and pulls me up.  I barely make it to my feet before he starts to pull me backwards again.  If I can just stay in the street until the bikes get here, I know I’ll be okay.  I start to kick, hit, and bite anything to slow him down. 
    “Help me get her to the alley,” he says, still dragging me back. 
    “Man, I don’t know,” one of the boys mumbles.  “I thought we were just messing with her, not hurting her.”
    “Do you want a piece of this or not?” the guy holding me barks out, tightening his arms around me with each word. 
    The boys don’t have time to respond before the bikes finally roll up next to us.  As soon as I see them, I start to scream, “Help me!”
    The boys surrounding me turn to look at the guys on the bikes.  They seem surprised that they are here. I guess they were so interested in getting some, they didn’t notice the trouble coming their way. 
    As the bike engines go quiet, the boy holding me lets go.  I run straight for my family, straight into Timber’s arms.  As soon as I hit his chest, I start to cry. 
    He wraps his arms around me.  “What’s going on, Little Flower?”
    Without thinking of the ramifications, I blurt out the truth, “They were going to take me to the alley and rape me.”
    I hear shouts of denial behind me as Timber’s arms tighten around me.  He doesn’t respond, just releases me and pushes my body toward the guy standing next to him.  “Get her the fuck out of here.  Take care of her. That’s Maker’s little girl.”
    Immediately, I’m being led to a bike.  “Are you okay, girl?”
    I look up and see the hottest man I have ever laid eyes on. His eyes, oh my God, they must be the most beautiful eyes that I have ever seen; light brown with shots of gold
