The cold air blows against her face. Her black hair flowing in the doorway.
"Close the damn door! It's cold!"
A raspy voice that she's a far too familiar with erupts from.
She quickly looks behind her to see her dad getting up with a beer bottle in hand. The hand holding the bottle gets lifted in the air. She already knows whats going to happen. She has seen this image a dozen times too many recently.
She quickly gets out of the house. Seconds later the door frame is dented by a breaking beer bottle. The remaining beer from within splashes all around the door frame and even on a little bit of her clothes.
Fear flashes on her face. She quickly turns her back to the house and starts running. Her backpack hitting her bruised back after each step.
'If I don't make it out now, I may not have another chance.'
Pushing through the pain she keeps running as her father bombards her with insults.
"You will never be half the woman your mother was. No guy wants someone that will just run away when things get hard! If I find you it'll be your last day."
His voice lowers significantly. Too low for her to hear.
"You remind me too much of your mother before she got cancer. She was my everything. You're the last thing I have of your mother. I'm sorry. I know I've messed up."
He sits down in the doorway and watches his daughter run down the street.
He sits there for a while. Seeing how she only has a backpack he assumes she's just going out to study and will be back in a few hours at most.
Looking around it saddens his heart to see what he has done.
'When she comes back I'll show her, I'll do better.'
He starts picking up the glass. After a short 2 hours, he has finally gotten rid of all the beer and cleaned the entire house.
Meanwhile, Xiaoyi sees that clouds are starting to roll in. Given that the temperature has dropped so much, it may snow. It's a little weird as there are still a couple months before the first snow should be.
She pulls out her phone as she starts to near the train station. To her amazement, there is a blizzard warning for her area and across most of China.
'Hopefully, the trains will still be running.'
Before she looks up she sees a foot directly in front of her. She didn't have enough time to stop and runs into a man.
She stumbles backward and lifts her head. In front of her, she sees 2 men standing in her path with their black car doors open.
She immediately started to turn around. When turning around she runs into yet another guy.
"Hey beautiful, why the rush?" He says in a menacing tone.
The man behind her puts both of his hands on her shoulders. Then jerked her around.
"Aren't you going to apologize for running into me? I should also get paid for the damage you have done. You might have broken my ribs." The first man says while rubbing his chest and making a clearly fake pained expression.
He stands over her with his hand out as if he was expecting her to give him money. His hand was covered in big calluses showing he doesn't work an easy job. She looks down trying not to make eye contact with the man.
She then speaks in a soft voice.
"I don't have any money on me."
The group of guys starts laughing. A man with an ugly mole covering 20 pecent of the left side of his face steps forward.
"She doesn't have money? I guess we will need payment in a different way. Let's head over to my place with her."
All the other guys start chuckling louder. They have done this many times however this is by far the best-looking one they have found.
A white rag quickly comes into her view from the man behind her. It presses against her nose and mouth making it hard to breathe. The rag was wet and smelled very chemically. Soon a weird sensation comes over her before she falls limp in the man's arms.
The men put her in the back of the car. Each one was looking at her like a starving pig.
As they start to drive again they realize that it's beginning to snow.
"Oh wow, it's starting very early this year." The driver says.
"Hey be careful I want to survive the winding roads so that I can play with her." The other one says.
He said as his hands started reaching for her. Before his hand could come within 3 inches of her body another man in the group whacked his hand away.
"We always pull straws so this time won't be any different." The other angrily told mole face.
"Come on, look at her! Can you blame me?" Mole face complained as though he was a little child.
As they continue out of the city the snow starts to fall faster and the winds pick up.
"Hey, do you think we should go to my place? It's just that this road goes near a cliff and it's snowing pretty hard." The driver offered
"Oh yes, let's go to your place where you have paper-thin walls. We are going to my place because it's the only place that's out there. No one will hear a thing." Mole face demanded.
A grin comes over his face as he looks the girl up and down. Her figure was one that idols would have. Each and every detail seems to be perfectly placed by an artist even when she was unconscious.
Once they make it out of the city the road becomes more winding. They are now driving alongside a fifteen-foot cliff. The blizzard is growing stronger and their car has slid a couple of times already.
"Hey man, I really think we should stop. One girl isn't worth our lives." The other one said.
"I mean who says we can't do it here?" Mole face says excitedly states.
"Alright, let me find a shoulder we can pull into." The driver said.
The car soon comes to a stop at a car park area where they can overlook a 25 foot cliff going down into a valley.
All the men look at her with lustful, greedy eyes. Before anyone can lay a finger on her the blizzard causes a car to skid on the road during the turn. The back end hits the parked car and causes it to spin. Each man lets out a scream of panic.
"AHHHHH!" Three woman like screams can be heard ringing in the car.
They are all silent for what feels like a minute before assuming they are safe. As the driver repositions himself to get out of the car it starts tipping over the cliff.
"Shit." He says fully expecting this to be the end.
The car then sides off the edge of the cliff leaving everyone feeling as if their stomach has gone up to their throats. First hitting a ledge fifteen feet lower then proceeding to roll down a hill going even deeper into the valley.
Everything in the car gets thrown about while the car somersaults down the hill. The windows shatter spreading its mini blades around car from almost every window. The blades of glass is sent flying in and out of the car scratching the men and the sleeping woman in the car. The car comes to an abrupt stop when it slams into the side of a tree. Like a balencing act once again it very slowly falls onto the roof of the car. All the men are thrashed around during the fall of the car, as they unbuckled moments before for their greedy disgusting act.
