Falsely Accused

I left school and began my journey home, it was a short walk, maybe 5 minutes, I always walked to and from my school. I was an only child, except for a brother, who is in college, and doesn't live with us anymore.

I was wearing a pink dress, with no sleeves, it was a hot day, and white panties. The dress went to my mid thighs, I wanted to wear a shorter one, because of the heat, but mom said that I have to wear at least this long unless I wear pants, which I was definitely not about to do today.

I was about halfway there, and I heard sirens, and since I had done nothing wrong, the only thing I did was turn my head. I saw two cop cars in the distance, heading in the same direction as I was.

Their lights were flashing and sirens blaring, I continued walking as if nothing had happened. They passed me then abruptly came to a stop, a cop came out of each car and ran toward me.

I looked at them, confused, as they closed in on me and forced me to the ground, it hurt and I suspected that they were fake cops, so I started kicking and punching randomly, trying to get free.

They handcuffed me and easily took control of me, I was laying on my front, because they tackled me from behind. My dress went up enough for them to see my panties, but neither of them did anything, despite being turned on by it.

They stood me up and started walking me to the car, my dress falling back into place over my panties. "Let go of me!" I was still convinced that they were not real cops, and I needed to get away.

"Stop resisting ma'am! You are under arrest for the murder of Mayor Jake Williams. You have the right to remain silent; anything you say, can, and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney; if you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided. Do you understand these rights that I have just said to you?" Said one of them.

I was completely in shock, arrested for murdering the mayor? "I did not murder anyone!... oh, and yes, I understand my rights." I said, still thinking that they were fake, I kicked one of them in the nuts, he fell to the ground, but before I could go after the other one, he already drew his gun and pointed it at me.

I froze in place, currently not being held by anyone, but still at gunpoint, also my hands were handcuffed behind my back. He slowly walked towards me, I kicked him in the nuts as well once he was close enough, and I purposefully fell to the ground before he shot me.

He fell to the ground and fired at the sky, I quickly got up and ran. The first one I kicked had recovered enough to be somewhat functional, so he was able to trip me, and I fell face first into the asphalt. I became super dizzy, but didn't pass out, I rolled over until I was on my back and saw one pointing a gun at me again.

He kept his distance and held his gun aimed at me, I stayed on the ground, there was no way that I was getting away now. He pressed a button on his communicator and said, "I need backup on Maple Street." He didn't come near me, knowing what I did to them before.

"Now you are under arrest for murder, resisting arrest, and assaulting a cop." He said as the other one stood up and pointed his gun at me.

"I didn't kill anyone! And I thought you guys were fake cops trying to kidnap me!" I slowly stood up, but still keeping a safe distance.

"Stop moving!" He said, I froze, currently standing just a few feet from him. I heard sirens in the distance, then they got closer, and eventually, I saw 3 more cop cars driving towards us.

They stopped and 7 cops with guns at the ready, came out and pointed them at me. The two who was closer to me, now having backup, sprung into action, the one opened the car door and I slowly walked backwards instinctively.

The other one ran towards me, thinking that I was trying to run away, I tripped over my own feet and fell backwards, my legs going up and ending up kicking him in the crotch by accident.

He crumpled to the ground next to me and the 'backup' came running, assuming that I did it on purpose. They all took part in restraining me, keeping my arms and legs still, I offered little resistance as they shoved me into the cop car and went back to their cars.

Most of my body was in pain from falling onto the asphalt, especially my arms, because they were stuck behind me, and when I landed on my back, they were first. All the cops drove off and I was now on my way to prison.

Later...
