Samantha

Samantha sat on the witness bench in court as Henry Moriarty's lawyer began reading out his statement.

"Mr Moriarty claims that you pursued a relationship with him and you were known for stalking him on several occasions we have witnesses that can testify this point " the lawyer read out

"That is not true I didn't know him until the very day of the assault" Samantha's voice lowered shamefully as she rested he hand on her swelling pregnant stomach remembering the night of the assault.

"See you later Sam"called Maggie waving to her best friend. Sam pulled the hood of her coat over her head providing herself with some shelter from the pouring rain as she called out

" See you at school Maggie" Sam waved back then began walking home .The 16 year old girl walked quickly down one of the streets that lead to her house , as she rounded a corner she heard footsteps mirroring her own. Sam sped up and once again the footsteps copied she spun around running information through her mind ,heavy step balance of probability most likely male stalking at night creep she slowly turned around only to be faced with a twisted smirk she felt a sharp pain in her neck before the world around her went black.

Sam opened her eyes slowly feeling a crippling pressure on top of her as her eyes adjusted to the dark she saw the same sickening smirk from early then she saw she was missing her undergarments as was her attacker she struggled fruitlessly against her restraints as her attacker thrust in to her Samantha screamed from the back of her throat injuring the pain that was cruelly forced upon her.

When it was finally over he released her from her bonds and kissed her forehead before standing and leaving her a broken mess on the floor naked and sobbing Sam curled up in a tight ball wishing to escape this sick world that she was trapped in.

that was when to doors swung open and the police stormed in.

Samantha spoke her voice strong " Mr Moriarty is a rapist and deserves to rot in hell! "

The judge sighed "for the last time Miss Holmes stick to the facts or I will have you removed for contempt of the court! Really despite all facts this name calling is stupid and childish! "

Samantha growled at the back of her throat she looked over to the public gallery she hated stupid people people too blind to see the facts her mother was stupid but Sam tolerated her because despite everything she did care for her mother. Sam was deeply tempted to prove that she was not stupid by using her talent ,one look at someone and she could notice things that others didn't , she usually refrained from using her skills ,when she was younger she accidentally let slip that one of the posh mothers was having an affair she was taunted for weeks and called a freak, she drew in a deep breath she saw her mothers pleading expression and she calmed down a bit. With her breath under control she apologized to the judge and began speaking her hands resting on her very pregnant stomach.

"Mr Moriarty caused me weeks of physical pain and I don't want my child around something that caused myself such pain and though you say he was intoxicated and not in control why would that make me anymore comfortable with the situation? " the next person who was called to the stand was a man who claimed he saw Sam being knocked out and dragged away he claimed he was the one who called the police at this Henry started shouting about him being paid to say that stuff at these accusations it was brought up that the man was a retired police officer and had been on the force for near on 50 years.

The court case lasted for hours and eventually it was time for the jury's verdict

"We find Henry Moriarty guilty of the assault and grant him no visitation rights"

"Mr Moriarty you have been found guilty and will serve a minimum of 10 years in prison " as the judge declared this Samantha couldn't help the smile that graced her lips for the first time in a long time she was really happy the judge continued

"Do you have anything to say for yourself?"

Moriarty smiled a cruel smile he turned towards me and said

"See you soon"
