The weather was changing, as it started to get colder.  It was fall and the leaves were changing and falling.   It had been 5 months since Eda and Lilith started college and so far things were going just fine. 

Collin was in the halls talking to another friend of his when Eda popped into the conversation. "I met this girl a while ago, I think I might use her for the plan," Collin said. "Oh damn, who is it?"  His friend asked.  "Her name is Eda" Collin answered.    "She pretty?" Collin's friend asked. "Yeah, really pretty" Collin answered. "Who's pretty?" Eda asked, as she just walked by.  Collin panicked, then pointed at my friend. "Him! He's pretty!" He blurted out. Eda looked at Collin and then at the boy he was talking to. 

She gave Collin a suspicious smile and then walked away playfully. "Alright, weirdo. Il catch you later"  she teased.  Collin's face palmed and sighed.   "Sorry dude, she just pops up everywhere I panicked" he explained.   "No worries, she probably thinks you're gay now or something, that helps your case,"  his friend said. "Yeah I guess you're right, maybe she'll be a lot easier,"  Collin said, and an idea popped into his head, he smirked, and looked down.

Meanwhile, while Edward was on his bunk resting when his bunkmate Alex came to him. "dude I just got a letter from my little sister, and she said that the news is saying some rapist is going around all the high schools and Colleges"  He said. "Oh shit, my sisters are in college!" Edward said in a concerned tone. "My little sister is still a junior in high school..." Alex muttered.  The news spread to the other soldiers like wildfire, all of them who had sisters called their families and let them know. Edward did the same and called Lilith.

"Hey, Lilith.. "

"Edward! How's the military?"

"Good. I mean it's hell but I need to warn you about something"

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"News is spreading and some rapist is going around all the high schools and colleges"

"Oh, my-. That's awful"

" I know, just make sure to tell Eda, I don't want anyone touching you guys"

"Don't worry too much about it, il make sure to let Edalyn know"

"Thanks, and invest in pepper spray or something"

"Alright I will, bye"

"Bye.. "

Lilith hung up and sighed feeling very unsettled about the whole situation. She got up from her bed to go get Eda who she assumed was in her room.  She opened the door quietly in case Eda was sleeping but instead, Collin going through her clothes. Her undergarments to be more specific. "Uh.. Excuse me, what the hell are you doing?" Lilith asked Collin jumped and looked at Lilith. "Uh.. E-eda sent me! She wanted me to.. Find her flash drive" Collin rambled, seeing that Lilith wasn't too convinced.    "You need to leave, my sister isn't even here and you shouldn't be going through her things,"  Lilith said and Stepped back from the door. Collin chuckled nervously and closed the drawer.    "alright alright, I'm leaving" Collin said, and left.

Lilith looked around the room, noticing a few very sensitive things were missing.     She felt uneasy about everything, and now found Collin extremely suspicious, so she called Eda to talk to her.    Lilith called, over and over again, but Eda never answered. Lilith assumed her phone was dead since it went straight to voicemail. 

A few hours later, Eda came to the dorm room and plugged up her cell phone as it was indeed dead. "Eda! I need to talk to you"  Lilith said, her tone immediately catching edas attention. "What's up?" Eda asked. "I..It's your friend Collin. He was here going through your things" Lilith said. "What? Are you serious?" Eda asked. "Yes! I don't trust him, and Edward said there was some rapist going around" Lilith said in a panicked voice.  "What!? Your kidding me right now" Eda blurted out. "I wish I was..just be careful about what you do and say around him, please?" Lilith asked.  "Alright.. But I promised to the library with him, he wanted my help with something" Eda muttered.  Lilith sighed. "Are you kidding me!? Jeez, you have the worst timing" Lilith groaned. "Lily I'm sure it's fine, I'm like.. 95 percent sure he's gay," Eda said, "Where are the other 5 percent?" Lilith asked "Well.. He could be bi or pan.. But I'm pretty sure he's gay" Eda said and left again. 

Lilith didn't trust the situation at all, but she couldn't go out as well in case she did need to call the police.

Eda went to the library and saw Collin At the entrance, and he waved at her. "Hey Eda, small change of plans. The library is closed so let's go to my room instead" He suggested. "Oh? Alright, that makes sense" Eda agreed.

Rape warning:
They went to Collins dorm, and upon entering Eda saw Alex and assumed it was Collins boyfriend or something. "So what did you need help with?" Eda stupidly asked, watching Collins face morph into a smirk.  Alex stood in front of the door, and locked it, making Eda feel concerned. "Collin.. What's going on?" Eda muttered.   "Don't worry about a thing, now this is going to be a very productive study" Collin said and took Eda's hand.  Eda wasn't sure if the situation was dangerous or not, that was until she was pushed onto Collins bed. "Hey! Dude what the hell!?" Eda yelled.  Collin slowly leaned toward her, his hand on her thigh, stroking her hair.

The situation sunk in, and Eda started trying to push him off her. "Collin get off me!" Eda yelled hearing Alex's laughter in the background.  Collins hands touched her hips, her things, her chest, all while she screamed and desperately tried to fight him off.  The cold air stung as as shirt was pulled off.   She felt his lips on her, as she constantly tried to get away, tears now streaming down her cheeks. Soon all her clothes were on the floor, and that sinking pain she felt was unbearable. She screamed from the pain making both boys laugh. (Notice how I said, boys) "yeah, that's right! Scream bitch!" Collin cheered.  

The unbearable pain she felt for those 10 minutes felt like torture. Was this her fate? If so what could she possibly have done to deserve such a punishment? After those 10 minutes, both boys had left, leaving Eda there.  Her body ached as she tried so hard to move. She ended up falling off the bed which was her goal but she didn't consider how much the pressure of hitting the floor would hurt her. She broke into new tears over the old ones which tried to her face, cheeks, and neck. She grabbed her clothes and put them on. She made it out of Collins dorm, just as a security guard. "Hey! You're not supposed to be out in the halls!!" He yelled. Eda looked at him, then immediately passed out in front of him. He was shocked and immediately called the ambulance.
