Fate's Final Act

-CH 12- Unexpected turn of events II

I stood outside the huge building under the night sky. The wind was kinda heavy today, so my hair kept flying around under my cap. I breathed out, a small cloud of condensation, before I pulled my mask back up. I was used to cold by now, but sometimes it gets a bit too much.

I shoved my hands into my pockets, because, ice patterns were starting to form on my skin.

I failed miserably today, I don't know what exactly pissed her off like that. I thought this would be easy, but it looks like the universe was mocking me. Why couldn't it just be any of the stupid girls who would bow to my feet for a couple of those green papers.

I groaned in annoyance, my teeth gritted tightly. "All I am asking for is a stupid human heart. Why does that need to be this hard." I continued walking on the sidewalk, my steps heavy and fast.

But suddenly something caught my attention, I glanced up at a small store in the middle of nowhere, I guess it was a convenient store, but half of its sign lights were off, so I wasn't sure.

But what caught my attention was that shiny blonde hair, It was... Melody? But I thought she had left a while ago.

A really huge and tall man got out of the store, and I could see she clearly tensed up. He has taned skin and a couple of snake tattoos all over his arm and neck.

I turned my full attention to them because that man clearly didn't look so friendly. He said something, and she nodded hesitantly, then reached in her bag and took something out. She handed it to him and backed away a bit.

Suddenly, he started laughing loudly that I could hear it from here, and then out of nowhere, he...

Punched her!!?

She was as fragile as glass, so she was knocked into the ground with ease. I couldn't believe my eyes. My eyes were almost going to pop out from how surprised I was.

She tried to get up, but he kicked her side roughly, only for her to just lay there defeated.

I felt a surge of adrenaline pump into my viens, that for a milli second, both my eyes turned light shiny blue and back again to normal. My legs moved on their own, and I found myself walking towards them really fast, not even caring about the passing cars that almost hit me.

The man grabbed a thick cylinder stick and held it over his head, ready to strike her with it. "You know what happens to those who disobey me!!?" He snorted loudly.

But just when the stick came down, without thinking I stood in front of her, taking all of its force on my shoulder, that the stick snapped in half.

I let out a chocked gasp because obviously that hurt like hell.

"Huh!!? Who the fuck are you, and what do you think you're doing!?" The man yelled furiously and threw the broken half into the ground.

I coughed a bit then forced myself to stand straight, completely blocking her from his sight. "I think I should ask YOU, who the actual fuck do you think you are hurting a girl like that!?"

He was a bit taller than me, and ridiculously huge. His face was full of scares that extended to his neck. "And why is that your damn business pretty boy!? Trying to play the hero here? I can easily snap your damn neck with my fingers!!" He spat harshly.

I gritted my teeth and glared back at him. "What do you want from her...?" I uttered in low growel, my breath coming out in soft slow clouds.

"This girl owes me, she was supposed to give me 500 damn bucks but look at this ridiculous amount of money she handed me." He said mockingly as he held some money up then threw it into my face.
