The Gang Leader

26

Bianca's POV

  I dodge his first strike that is aimed to my hit my stomach. Instead it hits my wrist and creates a small cut.I look at him and his stance. Rick protects his face but leaves the rest of his body vulnerable.I lunge towards him, but instead of injuring him I trip him so he falls to the ground.

 Rick recovers quickly and jumps back onto his feet. And goes once again just to cover his face.He steps towards at me, fist first.

I don't know what happens first; me falling or Rick's fist colliding with my face.

I lay on the ground with my face throbbing in pain. Rick takes the chance and kneels over me with his mini dagger bared.He smirks at me. 

" I told you, little girl, that I would win," he hisses at me.

Rick raises the hand that he has the dagger in and lowers it as if he is going to stab me in the chest.

Before the blade pierces my skin something knocks Rick in the arm throwing his aim off.I cry out when the dagger slices open my side instead.

Rick is taken away from my side and Ariel's face comes into view. 

" It's okay. Someone is coming with bandages," She tells me while holding my hand.

I nod my head and try to sit up. Deep red colored blood seeps from my wound as I sit up and a small moan of pain escapes my lips.When I do sit up Ariel goes to sit behind me so I can lean back on her.

I hear shouts of anger and I look up to see Erick beating Rick. Erick knocks him down with a punch to the jaw. Erick then kicks Rick in the stomach.

" E-erick?"

His head snaps up to meet my eyes. His eyes softened and he leaves Rick's limp form to come sit next to me holding one of my hands.

Rick groans in pain and struggles to stand. He falls onto his knees.I get a good look at his face. His jaw is turning purple, his lip is oozing blood, and he hold his head.He goes to stand again, but a bullet comes out of nowhere and embeds itself into his chest. 

He lets out a sound of surprise before falling backwards into the dirt.

Everyone freezes. Including myself and Erick.

Rick's men start to back away and rush to leave the abandoned warehouse. My people start to follow them, but I tell Erick to let them go.

" She says to let them go," Erick yells out to everyone else.

A girl a few years older than me walks up to me with a bag.

" I need you to lay her down so I can wrap her wounds up," she says to Erick and Ariel.

They do ask they're told and gently set me down with only a small mumbled moan of pain from myself.My side and head throb. My shirt, ruined beyond repair, sticks to me soaked in blood. 

The gang members that aren't injured too badly themselves gather around me and the young girl.

Ariel pushes back people and shouts out," Guys,give Bianca and Annabelle some room!"

The people comply and take a couple steps back.The young girl, who I assume her name is Annabelle kneels in front of me.She pulls her back to sit in front of her then starts to rummage through her bag.She pulls out clean bandages along with some alcohol.

"This may sting," she cautions me. I nod giving her the go ahead.

She looks at me once more before she pours the alcohol onto the open wound.A sensation like fire licking my side spread through my side as the alcohol falls and mixes with my blood while it flows to the ground.
