I managed to corner the three teenagers in an alleyway. There were no other escape routes. I tilted my head, and smiled. I imagined my teeth were glistening in the night, and because it was raining, this was already going smoothly.
When I got closer, one of the girls, a blonde hair one, looked at me, thought for a moment, and was shocked in horror. I can tell what they're saying:
"Oh God, it's him!" The blonde hair one said.
"Do you know this guy?" The redhead said.
"Wait a minute... that's... that's the guy that you fucking splashed the hot water at!" The brunette one said to the blonde hair one.
"Are you..." The redhead trailed as she looked at the blonde. Then she pushed the blonde towards me and got closer to the brunette. "Sorry Dani."
I quickly rolled the sleeve of my left arm, and grabbed Dani by the neck. As she was choking for air, I made her look at my arm. It had burn marks like what hot water would do to the skin. I smiled at her. And then I used both hands and squeezed her neck. Putting my strength into it, I crushed her neck, and her neck twisted, her head fell on her shoulder.
I dropped her, and continued making my way towards the redhead and the brunette.
