This happened in, I believe, July of 2010 in Hulun Buir. Some of you may remember this. It was approximately 410km with one town in between. One stop…and this is where it happened.
A young Mongolian boy locked me in a room and threatened to kill me for 3-4 hours if I were to make a sound or tell anyone. He is cracking his knuckles repeatedly, snapping his head to the left then right – crack, crack. He and his friends carry knives and he has scars and tattoos all over him.
He got very frustrated with my crying and pleading to let me go, for him to go. Finally he took my phone away from me as I’m sending emergency texts to who ever I possibly can think of.
Yes, he was going to rape me…he had every intent to rape me. Yes, he did get on top of me, he did attempt to kiss me gently, and as I begin see my life flash before my eyes, and the idea of contracting AIDS or Hep…knowing it was all going to be over…as he begins to hold me down, force me down…as I’m crying and pleading and begging in English to please stop, trying to pry his head away from me…I stick my mouth next his ear, breath in as much air as possible and as soon as I feel his erection through my clothes I let out the loudest, shrillest, longest, most blood curdling scream you could ever imagine. It throws him off of me and I unlock the door behind my head and run into the laoban’s room shaking and crying hysterically holding onto the woman. At the scream I could hear the entire place wake, gasps of air were heard, and doors opened.
He ran away, I told them he wasn’t my friend and I didn’t know him…they reassured me it would be okay and to stay and be quite. He returned, banging down the door. He claims he left his phone there, he didn’t…I’m crying and begging for them not to let him in.
He finally leaves, there is silence, I sleep for 3 hours, I catch a car to get me through the desert as I have visions of him waiting for me behind the dunes. The taxi driver takes me for every rmb on me, there is no half way decent luguan in the next town, over priced hotel where I wait 3 hours for hot water to wash this filth off of me.
