The girl in the alleyway

Chapter 9

"That's when all what happened"? I asked him.I was curious and confused about what he meant by that."That's when I bumped into you" he said."I had just scrambled into an alleyway after getting beat up from the mafia gang"."I had managed to run away and loose them and then I saw you"." You ran into me and I looked you in the eye and immediately knew it was you;my daughter."Wow um I don't know what to say Bob" I told him."Or dad " I replied.He smiled and chuckled nervously."So does that mean my dad I live with now is my uncle?" I asked him."Yes it does he is your uncle because he's my twin brother"."Oh ok"." But how does that make sense he is my uncle and my mum is my mum. Did they get married even though she's still your girlfriend"? I asked.I was so confused."How can they be married and she's still your girlfriend isn;t that cheating"."One I'm surprised you know what cheating is at your age and two I told them to get fake married for the sake of their identity"."They printed out fake marriage certificates to pretend that they were married"."If your mum still looks as pretty as the day we met than I am happy that I travelled here"."Ewwww your so gross"I Told him."You and your love stuff that's disgusting go get a room" I said".He chuckled."Well it's getting late We better get you home kid" he told me."Awww okay" I replied.We walked down the stairs to the first floor of the apartment building.The rain had stopped and it was still cloudy but sunnier than before."I have my car parked out the back of the building it's an old toyota but it still works and it gets me places so we should be good"."Okay"I replied."Let's get going" I told him excitedly.But just as we went to go to his car a shadow appeared behind us.We turned around to face the mafia leader.

He was a tall;daunting man.He had thin black hair and a revolting jawline.His eyes were black like an endless dark cave.He was dressed up in a black leather jacket and leggings that went all the way down to his ankles.Blood dripped from his scars and bruises.He looked like the man from my dreams except scarier.He had an eye patch on his left eye with a pistol on it.He had this tattoo on his left arm as well.it was a rose with jokers and thieves written in cursive.The mafia leader had his gang lined up behind him.Suddenly the mafia leader pointed directly at me and smirked.Run" Said Clyde."What"? I asked."RUN" He shouted."I ran for my life and didn't look behind me.Fluffy ran after me barking as he went.I managed to reach the car park and skimmed for Clyde's van.Ah ha found it.I made a dart for the vehicle but just as I went to go jump in the mafia leader stood in front of it.I trembled as he stared directly into my soul.His eyes were pools of death.As he stared endlessly i felt as if I was going to pass out when suddenly out of nowhere Clyde came running in my direction."Layla!"."Don't you dare lay a hand on my daughter you lying,cheating scoundrel" screamed Clyde."Clyde help me" I said in a trembling tone.Clyde ran over and smacked the mafia leader right in the face.He fell to the ground in agony.Clyde then chucked me the keys and told me to get in the car and lock it.I did as what he said.I looked through the car windscreen and saw Clyde beating up the mafia leader.I shrunk down in my seat so he wouldn't see me just in case Clyde didn't win.After a while I heard nothing.There was no more fighting there were no more sounds.I was shaking with fear when I heard someone trying to pull the driver's seat door open.I looked and it was Clyde.Oh how grateful I was to see him.He signalled for me to unlock the door so he could open it and get in.I unlocked it and he scrambled in.He was bleeding a lot on his face,arms and legs.He had more bruises than before when I saw him in the alleyway."Hey are you okay Layla" he asked."I'm fine what about you" I replied nervously."Woof".I jumped in fright."Ahhhhh"."Fluffy jeez you scared me" I said.He whimpered."It's okay Fluffy" I told him but he kept whimpering."Fluffy are you okay" I asked."Oh no".He had a cut on his front left leg.He must have been hurt while trying to protect me."Poor Fluffy it's going to be okay" I told him."It's okay I will take him to the vet after I drop you home"."Okay I said.There was deafening silence most of the ride home."So um was that the mafia leader and his gang?"I asked nervously."Yes it was"."Why were they here and how did they find you " I asked."They must have followed me here and waited for an opportunity to try and hurt me".Unlucky for them I know how to hurt people in the most painful ways possible" He replied."That's cool" I said.'Now once I've dropped you home I'm going to get this fella to the vet"."Okay " I said."Oh and before I drop you home here's my number so I can contact you".It's only for my purposes so don't randomly message me when your bored or lonely okay?" He said."You're the one who's more likely to be lonely."Whatever " he told me.He put his number into my contacts and used a fake name called Bob."Why'd you put your contact name as Bob?" I asked him."Because I don't want your uncle to know you've been in contact with me" he replied."Oh okay" I said.He pulled up near the back of my house and I jumped out."Hey thanks for the ride home" I said."No problem" he replied." Oh and before I go please look after Fluffy for me"."I will kiddo,you go home and get some rest" he told me."Okay whatever then" I said.I jumped out of the car and walked over to the bathroom window and climbed in.
