From my position on the floor, I couldn't see much. Honestly, I didn't want to. Little could I imagine (or wanted to imagine) who this ghastly man could be.

In fact, all I could see was a shadow, slightly darker than the room itself, stretched by the slit of light peeping under the bottom of the door frame.

The shadow of a man, moving towards me. I took a sharp intake of air, causing me a fit of cough. There was no way I was safe now.

I held my breath in suspense and a few moments later, hands grabbed at my waist. Kicking out, I attempted to resist. The man was too strong.

I felt my body leaving the floor and heard the door of the headmaster's office swing open. How did he know that I'd be here, I thought, desperately working out what was going on.

The last thing I remember was the rumbling engine of the car as it pulled out of the school site.
