I am laying in guest room, wrapped with the blanket. My own bedroom is covered in blood. Tears can't stop running from my reddened eyes. I can't believe that this happened to me in my own house. If it wasn't for my maid, that heard my scream and called for help, the situation would be much worse. I always felt safe within walls of my family mansion, but after this…

If I close my eyes, I see his face. Middle aged man, with long beard and rotten teeth, that he showed with filthy smile. Greasy, dark hair falling on his cold eyes, showing no sign of mercy.

He came to my room when I was sleeping. First, he searched through my drawers, took all of my jewelry. Noise he made waked me up. I sat on my bed still disorientated after harsh arise. When I grasped the situation, that some unknown man is in my room, I instantly ran off to the other side of bedroom, leaning on the wall. That turned his attention to me…

"Shouldn't young lady be sleeping at this hour? But, at least I'll have some fun, before I kill you."

His filthy laugh echoed in the room. This low voice, I knew, in the future would give me a nightmares. I shivered, frantically pressed my body into the wall, hoping to become one with it. My knees was shaking, and breath was ragged. For the moment, I was like a stone, my muscles was frozen.

He lunged in my direction and with one swift movement, he was holding his hand on my mouth, so I can not scream. Then I regained some of my thinking capability. I would not let him hurt me so easily.

I stabilized my feet in the ground and with all my force, I slammed my knee into his groin. He screamed from pain and loosened his grip on me. It gave me the time to scream.

"Help me! Somebody help…"

He hit me in the face and after covered my mouth again, regaining control over his body. He was strong, I had no chance resisting him. My only hope was that someone heard me.

"You little bitch, I will fuck you to death for what you have just done."

I've taken blow in the stomach. I would collapse on the floor from pain, but he was holding me tight against the wall. I could only cry and scream through his fingers, while he lifted my night gown and tear off my panties. I pressed my knees together with all my power, but he was so much stronger than me.

He took his pants off and that's when guards came in. They immediately ran towards us and slammed their swords into body of bandit. He instantly dropped on the floor with the grunt, pulling me with him and crushing me under his weight. His blood was leaking all over my body.

Guards lifted him off me, I was covered in blood.

"Damn it, I can't see if she bleeds," said one of the guards.

Then I lost my consciousness. When I woke up, I was laying on the bed in guest room. Someone bathed me and changed my clothes. My body ached from blows I took. Tears were running from my eyes, but at that moment, I felt nothing. I was still in shock, an empty shell without a soul. Someone gave me food, I ate it mechanically. It didn't have any taste for me, it was only to stop the grumbling in my stomach. I fell asleep again.

After some time I regained my consciousness. I see my mother sitting next to me. She is crying. I touched her hand and then she realizes that I am awake.

"Oh, my dear daughter, what has he done to you…" She cries and clasps me in her embrace. I hug her back, feeling a little bit safer in her arms.

"Anastasia, how are you feeling, honey?" she asks worriedly.

"My body hurts," I reply. But the damage on my body isn't the worst. My mind is much more shattered.

"I shall call the doctor immediately." She ran out of the room, leaving me all alone with my terrible thoughts.
