Rachel walks down the street. It is not normally crowded on the street today. People walk over the laces of each other's shoes and Rachel almost landed on the lap of a complete stranger who was sitting on a broken chair by the side of the road. She stands at the edge of the road and crosses the road. Then she walks to the other side. She wants to go to the little shop where they sell everything. She has promised her aunt to buy her a jar of pickles that she likes so much and next week is her birthday. Rachel actually still can't believe that she now lives with her aunt and grandmother. With her mother's mother and sister. She's been wondering for weeks if everything she thought she'd been through with a bloodthirsty serial killer with a scythe as a murder weapon named Zack was a dream. And she's almost come to believe that everything was a dream and that she never met and got to know Zack in real life.
She walks into the small shop and buys the things she wants and then walks out of the shop again when she has paid properly. She neatly follows the road to her aunt's house and is not distracted by anyone or anything.

Then, to get to her aunt's house, she has to walk down a shadowy, musty little alley that she never trusted even in childhood. She was always told stories of people being murdered and raped, threatened and robbed there. Rachel holds her purse, which she always carries, tightly against her and looks around her, a little anxiously, in every nook and corner of the alley.
  She sees nothing.
  But then suddenly two men in their late thirties jump at her feet and look at her grinning and chuckling.
"Hello sweet cat" says the one man who looks at her with a dirty grin with a hoarse voice: "What are you doing here all by yourself?".
Rachel swallows a big lump in her throat and feels her heart racing in her throat and she also feels that her hands are clammy.
  Then without saying anything more to the two unknown men she starts running and she runs as fast as her legs can  carry her and pants hard as she runs. She is immediately seen to her horror as the two men chase her with dirty chuckles.
"Stay still baby" says the second man. "We just want to talk to you" he grins and suddenly he jumps on her and holds her tightly by her arms from behind. Rachel tries everything to free herself from the man but no matter what she tries she can't. She is panting heavily again and feels the tears burning and stinging in her eyes when she realizes that she is completely powerless in front of two strong men.
"I hope you're nice to us baby" one man grins and he pulls hard on her blond hair. She starts to scream terribly and thinks that she is completely done with  now. That she's now being raped by two men in a musty alley.

But then suddenly a loud voice is heard that Rachel immediately recognizes. She feels herself getting very excited and starts to gloat and shine inside when she hears the voice of the one who addresses the two men.

"Hey....what's this supposed to mean?". Rachel gently and slowly gently lifts her face off the ground and looks up and suddenly sees the beautiful appearance of Zack. He looks super tall and his bandages look stark white and his eyes gleam deadly and beautifully in the light of the golden sun. The two men both look at him in astonishment and questioning.

"I'm sorry...but...who the hell are you?".

Zack grins at the two men with a wide murderous grin and his eyes begin to shine even more in the light of the beautiful golden sun.

Zack chuckles at him. He has his super-sharp scythe that he always carries with him in his right hand and he swings it dangerously and laughs murderously.

"We're going... we're going already" one man of the cowardly duo shouts anxiously in full panic and he grabs the wrist of the other man and runs away, pulling the other man with him and they disappear from sight.

Zack looks at the two men in astonishment with split eyes: "What a bunch of idiots...they just run off...and I didn't even try to kill them".

Rachel gets up and wipes the dust and mud from the floor off her clothes and looks at Zack: "I think your edged weapon scared them."
