Chapter 19 Summary: “Erika: Present”

Content Warning: This section contains references to attempted sexual assault and sexual enslavement.

Rika arrives at the Crists’ home with a baseball bat. She is here only because she needs information about her mother, and she is determined to get answers. She brought the baseball bat to distract the guys from the dagger she has also brought with her. When she enters the house, a masked Will takes the bat from her. Soon Damon comes and grabs her from behind. They taunt her sexually, and Kai appears. They push her back and forth between them. Kai pats her down. She asks why they are doing this to her, and they parrot her question back to her. They tell her it’s payback, and she doesn’t understand what they are referring to. They tell her that she belongs to them, and they will reward her with money and food if she fulfills them sexually. Damon jumps on top of her and begins trying to sexually assault her. She stabs him with the dagger and runs away from him. After running, she realizes she alone can help herself out of this situation. She decides to go back to the house to show the guys that she will not run away from her problems and that she is not afraid of them.
