I kicked a rock on the road and it disappeared into the darkness as it flew into the air.
It was dark and my light was the occasional orange street lamp. It was about 10:30 now, I'd just finished work and I was headed home
I put my hands in my hoody pockets and started to head down an unlit alley. I saw something in the darkness, no... I saw two somethings
I stopped walking and stared till I realised they were men. One was punching and the other was receiving but he didn't seem to react at all and that's when I realised the person being punched wasn't even standing on his own two feet
"Hey!" I called "you there!"
I walked quietly closer and the male figure stopped punching the smaller man in his hand for a moment
"What do you think you're doing with him?" I asked
The man's head turned and I found a pair of dark eyes glaring at me. My eyes widened when I saw the blood on the other mans face... He was dead
I instantly regretted intervening. I started to back up and the male dropped the dead body and walked slowly toward me.
He got closer an I stumbled back, falling onto my backside. I stared at the incredibly large man and gulped... What would he do to me
"Please don't hurt me" I whispered
His face hit the moonlight and I was shocked to find a boy instead of a man. He looked maybe nineteen or twenty but he was definitely still in school because he was wearing a tie with a white shirt along with a pair of dress pants.
"Why are you here?" His voice growled
I thought his voice would be lower.. It wasn't that masculine at all but bloody hell, after seeing him beat some person senseless I was freaking afraid
"I-I was headed h-home" I stuttered
"Through an alley?" He tried to make his voice scarier
"W-well I usually j-jump the fence"
He stared down at me for a little while and he stuck out his hand. I whimpered as he grabbed my hand and pulled me to my feet
"T-thanks" I gave a shaky smile
I brushed myself off and I hear a gunshot. The boy took my hand again and started to run back to where he came from. He picked me up and threw my legs over the top of the fence
"Move!" He instructed
I climbed down the other side quick as I could and he got over easier than me. He linked our hands again and started to run.
"Where are we going?" I shouted over our thudding footsteps
I was pulled into a long narrow path and all of a sudden my chest was pressed against the boys. We stood in front each other and I started to deepen my breaths
"Why are we-"
"Sh" he covered my mouth with his hand "they'll find us"
I heard two voices and I saw two males with guns.
"Where'd he go?" One of them asked
"I dunno" the other one look directly at me in the dark "they came this way"
The men stuck around for a little while longer and the boy threw a stone that hit a tin crate.
"That way!" The first one started to run
The mysterious boy and I waited for a couple of minutes before he pulled me slowly out the dead end. We started to run again and I wondered how the boy knew where I lived
