TW ⚠️ - Sexual assault

Nora's POV

I woke up by a quiet cracking sound. I didn't react and just closed my eyes again, but something didn't feel right.

It's just the wood or something.

The cracking sound came from the door again. It was just light enough to see the door was ajar. A little annoyed I got out of my bed and walked towards the door, to close it.

When I was about to grab the door handle someone put their hand down on my mouth and pushed me over to the bed. A muffled noise escaped from my mouth when the dark figure pushed me down.

'Do anything, and I'll hurt you.'

I recognized the voice immediately.

No, no, no. This is not Adam. He's in the pit right now. It's just a dream.

'You shouldn't have told them.' The figure said with a low, threatening voice.

Just wake up. Wake up!

Another muffled sound came out of my mouth as I felt something sharp and cold touch my throat.

'Don't do anything.' Adam pressed the sharp object to throat even tighter. 'Now you're gonna do exactly what I say.'

This isn't real. It's just a dream. I need to wake up.

'Stop, please.' I quietly said.

'Shut up.' Adam's face got closer to mine.

'I don't want this.' I let out a light cry.

'I said shut up!' Adam said a little louder. He bend over and I felt a sharp, cold pain going trough my wrist.

I wanted to scream for help, do something, but I couldn't. He had a knife and I couldn't do anything.

'Get rid off this.' Adam motioned at Newt's shirt, which I was wearing.

'No.' I felt tears form in my eyes.

Wake up.

'Get rid of it.' Adam paused between every word.

Another muffled cry escaped my mouth as I slowly pulled the shirt over my head, exposing my blue top.

'And your pants.' I felt Adam's eyes on my body.

'No.' I cried. 'Leave, I don't want this.' I felt a tear streaming down my cheek.

'I asked you nicely.' Adam moved to my wrist again. 'Be quiet.' He ordered. I felt another deep sharp pain on my wrist. I wanted to scream because of the pain. Because of the horrible, stinging feeling.

'Fine. Then I'll do it.' One of Adam's hands pinned down my hands and the other one started unzipping my pants.

'No! Leave!' I raised my voice a little. I started kicking with my legs, so Adam couldn't take off my pants. My leg hit him right in the face and Adam let out a groan.

'You piece of shit.' He mumbled as he rubbed his cheek. His knife trailed down to my arm and he started cutting again.

I let out a scream of pain as more tears fell down. I wasn't sure if it was a dream or not, but I hoped it was.

Adam pulled down my pants, leaving me in just my lingeries. He slid the knife down my arm, making a deeper cut then before. I let out a cry as I felt the even worse, sharp pain.

Adam got a little further away from me and I took my chance. I got out of the bed as quick as possible and wanted to run out of my hut, but Adam grabbed my arm and pulled me closer to the bed again.

Just wake up.

I couldn't do anything but fight back. I already didn't listen to him, he was going to hurt me, so I had no other chance.

I started yelling for help and for him to let go, in the hope to wake someone up. I could see anger in Adam's eyes as I tried to pull myself away from him. He held my wrist even tighter and dragged me over to the bed again.

'No!' I started screaming, kicking and resisting. With one of my arms I hit a glass cup and it shattered into pieces, making a lot of noise.

Adam pushed me down on the bed and muffled my screams with his hand. The other hand trailed down to my underwear. I felt my cheeks get wet again as I kicked with my legs. Adam didn't seem to stop and he had almost reached my underwear.

The only thing I could do was bite his hand, so I did. I bit so hard that Adam had to let go. The second after he did I started yelling again. Adam looked at the hand, which I just bit, while I got up from the bed again and started to run out of the hut.

'You're not going anywhere.' Adam grabbed my arm and pressed the knife against my throat. I hit another glass cup and it shattered into pieces on the ground. Adam pushed me down on the bed, again. 'Now listen to me.'

'No! No, I'm not!' I yelled again.

'Shut up!' Adam started yelling too. He sliced another deep cut in my arm and I screamed in pain.

'Now you are going to listen.' He threatened.

Newt's POV

I heard glass shatter and opened my eyes. My hut was completely dark, so I couldn't see a thing. After the glass had shattered I didn't hear anything else and let go of it.

Probably just one of the animals or something.

I closed my eyes again and tried to fall asleep but after a minute or so, I heard a feminine voice yelling.

I immediately got out of my bed and listened.

'No!' A female cried. 'I don't want this!'
A few seconds of silence.
'Let go of me!' I heard more screams.

Shit. That's not Nora, right?

I heard another glass shatter.

'No! No, I'm not!'

I was sure it was Nora, so I rushed out of my hut.

Another heartbreaking feminine scream came from Nora's hut.

She's in pain.

I opened the door to her hut as fast as possible and stood there in shock. Nora was lying on her bed, with nothing but her lingeries on. Tears streamed down her face. A black figure was on top of her. The figure was holding a sharp knife, which was shining in the moonlight. The knife was being held against Nora's arm, which was covered in blood.

After a few seconds of standing there in shock I realized what was happening. I didn't hesitate and jumped right on top of the figure. The knife flew out of his hands and landed at the other side of the hut.

The moonlight shined into the hut and I saw Adam's face. Anger flowed trough my body and I balled my fist. Adam was lying on the ground and I started punching him. The only thing I could do while punching was think about what he did to Nora, what made me even angrier.

After a few good punches someone pulled me away from Adam. I tried to resist but the person held me tight. It was Gally.

'Gally, take care of him.' I said trough my breaths.

Gally let go of me and dragged Adam outside.

A little out of breath I sat down on the ground, until I heard sobs coming from behind me. I got up and walked over to Nora. She was sitting in the corner of her bed, knees up to her chest and head on her knees. Her shoulders were shaking and I heard more quiet sobs.

'Hey, hey. It's okay. 'You're okay.' I sat down next to her and laid my hand down on her knee. Her shoulders were still shaking heavily.

'I'm sorry.' She said trough her cries.

'You don't have anything to be sorry about, love.' I tried to calm her down and wrapped my arms around her. She seemed to hesitate for a moment, but then she wrapped her arms around me too.

We stayed in this position until I felt her breathing get more even and her shoulders less shaky.

'He's gone now, okay?' I looked at her watery eyes. 'He's not going to hurt you anymore. We're gonna get him to leave.' I gently lay Nora down on her bed and put the blanket over her body.

'Could you- could you stay with me, please?' She asked quietly.

'Of course, love.' I sat down on her desk chair.

'Right here?' She moved to the side and showed my an empty spot on her bed.

I nodded and got under the sheets, facing her.

'Thank you.' She closed her eyes.
