Lost Girl

The Punishment

I was walking down town when I stupidly decided to take a short cut through a long alleyway.

"Well hello again cutie," said a voice, I know that voice why does he always do this. "I see your as quiet as always," I examined my surroundings, this time it wasn't just him and a couple of friends I noticed people hiding everywhere. "Okay fine, I guess I'll never here anything out of you, well that is until now. Today is different then before, cause you see honey I decided you are just to smart for me and two other guys so this time I brought the whole gang." Guys started pouring out of everything from dumpsters to the windows above. I thought quickly and bolted before all of them came out, when I turned the corner three guys were standing there blocking the way. I ran straight until there were three more guys blocking that way, my last hope was to go left, but when I turned it was a dead end. I ran up to the wall hoping to climb it but there was no way and I was to short to jump it. I turned around and there he was and his gang, I counted around 15 or more people. Okay so this time I'm in real big trouble. "Well well well, looks like miss smarty-pants is stuck." He said, he started taking steps closer and closer. Shoot I can't let him touch me who knows what will happen to him, he might burn or freeze or something. I backed in a corner and put my backpack in front of me trying to get away from him. I didn't want to hurt him, even if he does deserve it. I closed my eyes as he got closer I couldn't watch another person feel so much pain because of me.

"Stop!" a voice yelled, one I hadn't heard before. "Is this really what you do on your spare time is pick on people, I can't believe I'm related to you." A young man jumped down from the wall, he had brownish blondish hair and when he looked at me I saw his dark brown eyes. "Hey are you okay?" he asked. I nodded. "Okay good, now back to you, Conner. Why are you being so mean to her?"

"Jeez Zane, why you got to ruin everything." Connor said.

"Well I'm sorry but I'm not gonna let my little brother hurt this girl." Brothers? I guess that makes since, I thought as I stood there watching.

"It's not your problem, I just want her to talk to me again."

"Huh?"

"Remember that friend I always told you about well this is her and she won't talk to me and I've been trying to get her to talk to me for years." They're arguing, this is my chance while they're distracted. I saw a dumpster at the side of the building. It's far away from the wall but I think I can make the jump, if I can even get over there. Wait why didn't I think of this before, jeez I'm such an idiot. I looked back at them okay almost ready just take one step back.

"Fine then, let's do this!" Connor said then took a step back getting into a fighting position. Now! I bolted, I grabbed the side of the dumpster and flung myself on top, I went as far back as I could then ran and leaped onto the wall. I soon as I realized I made it I looked back at them, all of them were in shock. I quickly hopped down and bolted. I ran all the way home, when I got inside I shut the door then sat down leaning against it. I live in a giant house that I always thought resembled a castle, I guess you could call it a mansion but I don't think it's that big.

"Good evening miss how was- Oh my goodness what happened did you run again, here let me help you up." A maid came over and was about to grab my hands.

"Wait! Um actually can you go tell my dad I'm home." I said just before she helped me.

"Oh yes, of course miss."

"Thanks Amy." That was a close one. I went up to my room and flopped on my bed. I looked at my hands, why me, I thought as I laid on my bed. Why does it have to be me. I hated my hands, ever since that day they have caused so much pain. First it was Julie, then those people I bumped into, and now I've driven Connor mad. It's not just my hands it's my whole being. At least tomorrow is a Saturday so I don't have to worry about hurting anyone. After I finished my homework, I went to bed.
