Lost Light-the way out of the shadows

Chapter 8 ✧ Anny

They sat up slowly,catching their breath and looking and their handpalms,that were covered in scratches.

The roof they were on wasnt the lowest and they could look over the whole city part.

Once again,they got lost in their thoughts.

Till now litterraly everything i tried,went wrong or got me in dangerous situations.If i dont get my crap together soon and find a way to not get in trouble every five seconds,I might get caught by somebody from flowertown.

It was not like anybody of Nightblacks family cared where they went.When they ran off once,during elementary school,they were wondering around the city for one entire day,till their parents realised they were missing.

Then they realised that they had another huge problem.

Where am i actually running to?

I dont know the area behind the run down city part that well,my family never allowed me to go there,even tho they still didnt care where I wen't.
And i dont even know where to stay,I mean I cant keep living like a homeless thief. Should I look for work? Im way too young to find even a halftime job on my own. Should I look for a school? But like tf am I supposed to do there? I dont know any schools here,also they probably would report me to the police,if I cant tell them where my parents are.

Suddently something ripped them out of their thoughts.

It was a scream.

It sounded very high,so Nightblack first thought it was the wind.

But then they heard it again,louder,more desperate this time.They ran to the edge of the building,where they thought the scream came from. They looked down to the narrow side road between the houses and saw a pretty bunny girl,with white fur,standing in the dirt.She was beeing cornered by three foxes,one was pinning her down to the wall,while the others were whatching and laughing. Nightblack couldnt hear what they were saying,but they could tell that the foxes didnt have anything good on there mind.

Then Nightblack smelled blood.

They started running immediatly and found a rain gutter. It was way longer than the one on their house,but they still swung themselves over the edge and climbed down on it slowly. They speed up in panik as they realised,that the foxes could see them.

When going down further they saw that the rain gutter ended on a huge rubbish bin. They could also hear the conversation more clearly now.

"Are ya shoure ya wanna take this crybaby?"

"Yes,I wasnt so shoure with a thing like this before, but im sure the others will love a cute weak bunny like her"

"Idc what yall are saying,but just hurry the fuck up,shes trying to free herself"

Then nightblack heard another voice,next to the rough fox voices

"Pls..l-let me go..i promise im uninteresting.."

Nighblack reached the end and jumped onto the rubbish bin.

They saw that the fox-while pinning down the bunny girl- was trying to grab into her shirt. Suddently nightblack felt blank rage take controll over them.

They jumped of the dustbin, ran down the side street and hit the fox,that was pinning the bunny down,with full speed. They both fell to the ground.

The fox had a look of surprise in his face,that they would never forget. They went for his throught,before he could attak them and bit into it,till he went limp. They let go,spitting out a mouth full of blood.

The other fox was so surprised by the sneak attak,that he ran off,after Nightback growled at him.

The bunny girl just whatched everything,with a look of terror and fear on her face at the same time.

Then Nightblack heard a voice behind them. They turned around immediatly and saw the third fox leaning on to a wall,his arms crossed. He was way taller that nightblack had expected.

"I see,i see" he said,with an eerie deep and calm voice "so you wanna kill my gang as revenge for capturing girls...ya should know..

..if you wanna get rid of my gang..

..you shouldn't spare me"
