You were running, gasping for air but you wouldn't stay in place to rest and catch your breath, you weren't going to take a chance. Running down the sidewalks, the only thing illuminating the streets were the streetlights and the bright crescent moon glistening a golden tinge, any other nights it would have been a beautiful sight to behold but tonight everything was scary and creepy. Your lungs were screaming for you to stop as it ached and burned, but your mind kept going too afraid of something that isn't seen. Suddenly you heard a crashing noise from behind you, you were shaking by now that noise was too close, you were too afraid to check behind you or stop for the matter. A minute later something pierced through the dumpster truck in front of you, you turned left you were scared shit less, tears threatening to escape your (e/c) hues, you kept everything down not wanting to give satisfaction in whoever was toying with you, you wanted to scream but you knew if you screamed it was going to get you quickly so you kept on running finding a way to escape. You wondered how did you get into this predicament.
It was an average day for you like any other day. You worked as a tattoo artist, excelling in arts you loved tattoos feeling the need bringing art creations on their body, you didn't really like being in things with laws or things sophisticated as your parents wanted, it did pay you a lot but it wasnt the life you wanted, you started to work at a Tattoo parlor, there your boss recognized your talents and hired you in a heart beat, it was average at first not many people went to you but then people started to come around and visit you more often, they loved how your style was, how it captivated the very details they wanted even if it wasn't very well drawn from the client you brought out the details they wanted to life the clients noticed your talents.
Soon you became more and more busy you didn't mind you were happy, the boss promoted you, you got paid more. You were happy as the eye can see. It was a life you loved, sure it didn't pay as much as those other jobs your parents wanted you to work as but it payed the necessity like the little home you lived in, food and your clothes . It wasn't enough for you to buy luxurious things often but you could save things little by little. It all took time and you were patient of it and confident in yourself. You would paint in the shop of flowers you loved or designs, to whatever you mind felt like creating, your boss allowed you she didn't mind you getting extra tips if they get sold.
Eventually some customers would buy them it gave extra cash and you were pleased with it all, your dream job and hobby was giving you things to get you by. Things were at their finest you thought nothing wrong was going to happen today. until a late Friday night your sister called " (y/n) how is my favorite sis?" you laughed slightly " I'm your only sister, and I'm fine how are you?" "I'm feeling great (y/n), anyways could you do me a favor?" "Um sure, what is it?" You hear her hesitate a bit " I want you to get me a book from the bookstore around your block, I've been wanting to go,but.. " you sighed " I know, don't worry " your sister has problems around the streets you live in, she dated a gang banger, they broke up, he warned her if she shows her face around again he will kill her without mercy, ever since then your sister never shown her face around, she feared him and you didn't blame her. "You're the best (y/n) goodnight " you heard her hang up you sighed and went to your room to change from your sleeping clothes to casual ones. You went up and took out a (f/c) T-shirt, (f/c) jeans your sneakers and got yourself ready you grabbed a Gir hoodie and head out to the book store. The walk there isn't long about a 10-15 minutes walk, you liked walking late at night, but sometimes it's just creepy and you've been doing it less and less you were about to make a turn when suddenly you felt someone or SOMETHING watching you, you felt your heartbeat race, suddenly you heard 'BANG!' From behind you, you turned to look behind you what that sound was about and saw a huge hole in the street behind you. You felt a gaze stronger then earlier without a second thought you broke into a run, everything around you was breaking the concrete sidewalk in front of you suddenly cracked and was thrown upwards the lampposts falling down. You were running as quickly as you could away from whatever it is.That was how you were in the situation you were in and quite frankly you regretted getting out of your house. You felt your legs shaking feeling it will soon gave way you ran across a park where the famous statute of the Dark Knight lays, other times you would take the time to admire it and give your thanks, but right now was not the time and you just wanted to live, trees being knocked down you ran side ways and jumped over some trash bins thrown on the floor. You made it out the park soundly but you still didn't feel out of the woods and just like that something jumped in front of you growling and screeching, you collapsed due to the sudden sight of the beast in front of you and from pure exhaustion. In front of you was a beast blood shot red eyes, porcelain white large horns, long fangs two rows of teethes, it was on all four but you knew if it stood up it would be about 15 feet tall. Your tears start streaming down unconsciously, you didn't noticed them until your vision blurred, you were backing yourself away from the beast still on the floor fear consuming you, it was getting closer taking it's sweet getting towards you. You knew it was toying with you, it's long clawed arm was extended ready to take a swipe and slice you, you covered your face and closed your eyes not wanting to see your death, suddenly gun shots were heard the beast was howling out in pain, droplets of crimson red covered your (s/c) face. It growled and screeched again you dared and look through the cracks of your fingers and saw a man with hair white as snow he looked around to be in his late twenties or on his thirties, his scarlet red trench coat swayed in the wind, two pistoles one colored as ivory and another ebony was pointing at the beast as it goes after the strange man . He move swiftly towards the beast dodging the swipes as he taunted "that's all you got? And I thought we could have a party" it only angered the beast more and you can see the man smiling enjoying his time, suddenly he sliced the beast in half and placed his sword back in place on his back you felt your face pale all the color draining from you as you felt slightly light headed from the whole event, you felt that at any moment you would faint. The man you currently didn't know was walking towards you and while the whole event took a tole on you, fear and exhaustion as well as the adrenaline that just wore off made you faint. "Shit " was the last thing you heard from the man before fainting
He wasn't amused with the devil he had to take care, it wasnt much of a fight he was hoping for and now you were on the ground knocked out cold from what he concluded from the fear taking over you, he sighed and went to your unconscious body,lifting you up placing you on his shoulder easily as he walked his way to his shop.
