"Creep!"

                  Allison scoffed, pushing the memory aside. She impatiently glanced at her watch once again and it smiled "9:30pm". Urgh! Where is he? She took out her phone and tried calling but his cell appeared switched off. Just then Esra called her.

Hey what's up?
Allison you won't believe it!
What is it?
There's supposed to be a firework going on outside just a few feet from Burkhart.
I love fireworks, are you sure, I don't see any.
Just walk outside, there should be in a few minutes.
Well Davian seems to be running late. I'll go look.

Hangup!

                The night sky was ablaze with the vibrant colors of fireworks, casting a kaleidoscope of hues on the faces of the spectators below. Allison stood just by the side walk her eyes wide with wonder and amazement as she watched the breathtaking display. Her eyes fixed on the colorful bursts and crackles of the fireworks show above. As the fireworks exploded overhead, bathing the air in a flurry of colors.

            Allison stood transfixed, her eyes wide with wonder. It was a beautiful sight, one that could make even the grumpiest of people crack a smile. Suddenly, a black sedan came speeding towards her, its engine roaring like a hungry monster on the prowl. The car lurched forward, heading at her at full speed. Her eyes widened in alarm as she realized that she was in danger, she froze at the thought of coming face to face with death.

SNATCH!

                Just in the nick of time, someone swiftly seized her by the arm and yanked her backwards out of the path of the oncoming vehicle.

Oh my goodness! She gasped, relief washing all over her.
What did I say about going out today? Hades asked, displeased, tearing his eyes away from the driver of that black sedan. The man wore a mask, his eyes red with only the aim to kill.
How did you get here? And this had nothing to do with your warnings, it was only an accident. I got so lost in the fireworks that I didn't see the car heading my way.
An accident? He scoffed. This was no accident. This was a deliberate attempt at assassination.
Wh...what?!
Fear gripped her for a moment, who would want to kill her?
You can't be certain...
I am.
But...but who? Oh my God!
Are you alone?
Yes. Well Davian's supposed to be here.
Him again?! Hades flared, upset. Where is the son of a bitch whenever you need help?!
Stop sounding like he's in control of what happens to me.
What were you doing outside anyway?
Esra told me about the fireworks so I..
Your supposed best friend? He asked, raising an eyebrow.
Yes? Do you have a problem?
Hades slipped his hands into his pockets, shaking his head. Davian plus Esra, a connection? He wasn't sure. Stop being obnoxious!
I told you to keep a close eye on her once.
Yes?
Well now keep a close eye on them both.
I see no reason why.
You're too naive pet, way too naive.
I'm not! I just know who my friends are and I trust them. That must ofcourse be a foreign term to you.
An attempt at sarcasm? Well noted! What you need my dear is one big bang incident to change your mentality forever.
What?
To change the way you see the world. You obviously think the world is painted in all the colors of the rainbow, with roses trailing along each path. Hades shook his head.  Tsk, Tsk, You need domething that'll shake you so bad, you would without any doubt, be harden forever.
Like you? Never!
Hades smirked. And who said I ever saw the world in roses? I was never a good kid even back at the orphan...
What?
Never-mind. He frowned at himself for almost being so careless. Go home Allison.
I can't just...
I warned you once, saved you once. Never again. I'm not gonna play the goddamn hero so go home. He said, curtly, walking towards his car.

          Allison watched as he got in and drove off, disappearing into the distance. The evening breeze swept through her body, causing a sudden chill. Davian wasn't answering. She checked the time on her phone screen. It was 10:00pm. An hour late. He obviously wasn't going to make it. It'll probably be best for her to go home.
