Darkest Of Nights

The wind whipped and blew violently, as she walked the dark street going home. She had just had a fight with her boyfriend who refused to take her home. Soon she heard a car coming towards her She could only hope, that it would be a police officer but her luck didn't go that way it totally went the opposite.

They jumped out of the van grabbing her from behind there was five of them tearing and ripping at her clothes the first one took her virginity. The other three just followed the leader who happened to be Garrett the school punk who was constantly in trouble. Erick, watched from the van,he knew what they were doing, was wrong dead, wrong and He didn't want any part of it. He felt her pain as she was screaming and begging for them to stop.

Knowing what could happen if he didn't do something to help her He grabbed the tire iron lying in the back of the van. Jumping out of the van he smashed the tire iron against Garrett's head knocking him unconscious hitting him again and again killing him. Swinging the tire iron at Carson and hitting him in the shoulder breaking his collar bone. He then turned his attention to Billy. Finally lights came on in the house across the street the old man who lived there yelled "I've called the police so if you know what's good for you, you'll leave".

It was obvious he didn't know what was happening,Erick smashed Billy in the knees making sure he couldn't get away before the police got there. Steve ran off leaving the rest of his mates behind. Erick knew who he was, and he knew Steve would soon be arrested. Finally Erick threw the tire iron down,looking over towards the girl he noticed it was Emily a student who went to the same school as he did. Sirens were getting louder meaning the police would soon be there.

Erick began to tremble from all that had just happened realizing if it wasn't for his actions she'd probably be dead. It took a few months to get all the facts but the three boys were finally sentenced. They're all in jail now and the town seems to be quieter and safer with Garrett in the ground. Emily had nightmares for a couple of years but Erick has helped her make it through the hard times. That was seventeen years a husband and four children ago.
