I love my best friend

Chapter Thirty-Four~ Hooded Figure

(Okay, so. I didn't know what picture to use for this chapter so I decided on just using this picture)

"Hey beautiful, what're you doing out so late?" this guy had to be in his early twenties. I felt his stubbled chin rub against my neck and turned quickly. There were four of then and one of me. I don't have anything to defend myself with and I cant get to my keys on the ground to drive away. I was stuck.

"Don't be scared, darlin', we don't bite.... hard." one of the guys smirked at me. I bit my lip, holding my breath. Then he walked closer to me, making me back into my car. "Come onn," he pressed his body against mine.

I took a breath, here goes nothing. I mustered all the courage I had and quickly threw my knee up between the guys legs. He groaned, doubling over and I made a run for it. I knew I needed to get out of sight so I kept running, faster and faster, well aware of the guys on my heels. I ran into the shadows of the mall, hiding in the darkest shadow behind a dumpster and putting a hand over my mouth so they wouldn't hear my breathing.

"Where'd she go?!" the strained voice of the guy I kneed raised.

"I don't know! In this ally somewhere~" another guy yelled.

"Look everywhere! We're not letting her get away!"

I felt my eyes grow wide and I started to shake. They were going to find me eventually if I didn't come up with something fast. I looked down to my right, I couldn't crawl under the dumpster to hide, it was too low to the ground. I looked opposite to see a dead end brick wall. I groaned mentally. I just got myself stuck.

I sat there in the dark and prayed that one of them wasn't sober enough to get a flashlight. After awhile the guy I kneed spoke up, "She must've gone somewhere else. Lets go!" the group ran off and I dropped my hand from my mouth.

That was way to close.

I waited a few minutes listening. It was silent the whole time. I pushed myself up to my feet and started towards my car. "There she is!" a guy hollered and I ran faster. Making it to my car I dropped to my hands and knees, feeling the ground blindly for my keys. I felt the cold metal and gripped them in my hand.

Before I could move a hand grabbed my hair and yanked me to my feet. "Where the hell do you think your going?!" the guy yelled in my face. I flinched and he kept yelling nonsense. Drunken nonsense, never slacking his grip on my hair.

I felt myself tear up, there was no way out. That is..... until that hooded guy came back. He went after the guys friends firsts, knocking them unconscious. The main guy saw the figure beating his friends and pulled a gun from who knows where.

He wrapped an arm around my neck and pulled me to his chest hard. I felt the cold metal of the gun barrel on the side of my head. "DONT MOVE OR I'LL SHOOT HER!" the drunk yelled.

The figure looked over and stood straight, holding his hands up. I, however, wasn't giving up. I elbowed the guy in the gut and he dropped the gun. I quickly kicked it under my car out of reach and started to back up. The drunk grabbed my ankle, and I fell on my side and scraped my knee on the asphalt.

"Your not going anywhere" he started pulling me to him. I grabbed my footrest to the car and looked back at him, my cheek burning and my side felt crushed. I took my free foot and kicked him in the face causing him to let go. I quickly stood and stumbled into the figure. He put gentle hands on my arms and helped me get my balance.

Once I did he let me go and went to the drunk. Lifting him up by the shirt. I heard a low growling sound as the figure warned the guy. The man nodded and the figure set him down. The man ran away with a limp to go along with his drunken stumbling.

I looked down, pressing a palm to my forehead. I heard steps and looked up to see the figure standing right in front of me. I couldn't help but smile triumphantly. The last drunk guy was taken care of.

Now here I stood in front of the figure, both of us breathing hard from the stress and work getting rid of the guys. "Thank you."i owed him THREE of my lives... but I still didn't know who he was.

I felt his hand rest on my waist, keeping his silent façade going. I couldn't wait any longer. I quickly raised my hands up, pulling the hood from his head. I couldn't believe who it was. This cant be happening. I finally managed to choke out, "Kyle..."
