**Chapter 3: Descent into Darkness**

The stranger's weight pressed down on her, making it hard for Maya to breathe. She felt his hands roaming over her body, his fingers digging into her skin. She tried to push him away, but he was too strong. He flipped her over, pulling her hips up into the air. Maya's face was pressed into the bed, her arms stretched out in front of her. "No, please," she begged, her voice muffled by the sheets. "Stop this." But the stranger just laughed, his breath hot against her skin. He pulled down her underwear, exposing her to the cool air. Maya felt a surge of humiliation and fear as she realized what was about to happen. He entered her without warning, his movements aggressive and rough. Maya cried out in pain and protest, but her body seemed to respond despite her will. She felt a wave of pleasure mixed with pain as he took her, his movements becoming more frenzied and intense. Maya's mind was torn apart by the conflicting emotions. She hated what was happening, but her body seemed to be reacting in a way she couldn't control. She felt a sense of shame and guilt as she began to move in time with the stranger's thrusts, her hips bucking up to meet him. The stranger's grip on her hips tightened, his fingers digging deep into her skin. Maya felt like she was losing herself, like she was being consumed by the moment. She was torn between her desire to escape and her body's response to the stranger's aggressive lovemaking. As the stranger reached his climax, Maya felt a wave of relief wash over her. She lay there, her body still trembling, as the stranger pulled out of her. He collapsed onto the bed beside her, his chest heaving with exertion. Maya lay there, her eyes fixed on the ceiling, as she tried to process what had just happened. She felt dirty and used, like she had lost a part of herself. She knew she had to get out of there, but she had no idea how. The stranger's grip on her had been too strong, and she was too exhausted to try and escape. As she lay there, she felt the stranger's eyes on her, his gaze burning with an unnatural intensity. Maya knew she was still in grave danger, and she steeled herself for what was to come. She couldn't shake the feeling that she was trapped in a nightmare from which she might never awaken.
