Lavenders green, lavenders blue (spot conlon love story)

Chapter 15- a hero

There was barely a moon out that night. Only just a sliver of one, if any at all. It was nearly pitch black  but I knew the way back from Ellie's well enough that I could navigate through the darkness.  The best part about the city at night is the calmness.  The air is cooler and it's quiet.  Somehing was different about tonight though because usually at this time of night there are not many people out and about. On the side streets that I use at least.  But tonight I could swear I heard whispers and faint footsteps.  I could feel my heart beating faster and my instinct telling me to walk faster. So I did.  And then the footsteps got faster. And louder.  And before I know it I'm running.  And so are the footsteps I hear them separate into two distinct people.  My mind starts to blur and I am turning down alley I don't recognize because all I know is I have to run away.  I am just running and not even thinking about where I'm going I get caught in a dead end. I see the shadowy figures slowing down and I hear the cracking of knuckles.  I frantically look for a way I can get out but there is none.

I'm trapped 

"Hiya sweet face. Now what is a doll like you doing out on a night like this?" One of them says.

"Get away from you you lousy thug." I say narrowing my eyes. Maybe they will get scared. 

But they don't get scared they just laugh.

"You think your tough huh?" 

"Tougher than you'll ever be you coward" My fists ball up and I realize that there is no way I am getting out of this.  The result is inevitable.

"I wouldn't say that if I wa you" one of them says and just like that he punches me right in the jaw. I let out a small grunt and they laugh.  Then the other one punches me in the stomach and I double over.  But only for a second because next thing I know I'm being held against the wall by my wrists from the taller one and the shorter one starts taking off his pants.  I know if I scream I'll get another beating but it's my best bet if someone finding me.  I let out a loud shriek for help.  And of course I get another one to the face In the  spot as before. I don't hear anyone coming to help me. I struggle to get out of their grip but it's too strong and I'm too weak from the punches.  And then all the sudden I hear a crack and he lets go of me.  The one getting undressed turns around and I fall to the ground and topple over grabbing my stomach and face.  Out of my blurry vision I see someone beating the hell out of the two guys. They run away and the one who saved me turns to me and runs over.

"Addy"  he says "addy what happened are you ok"

"Umm yeah kinda" I say through gritted teeth and very little breath. My eyes are still blurry and are just now coming back into vision. And when they do I see that it's spot.  Spot is the one who saved me.  

"Cmon let me see" he says kneeling down to where I am hunched on the ground and gently cupping my head with his hand. I wince at the touch even though it is gently my head still throbs from the hits I had taken earlier.  "They hoitcha pretty bad huh?" I see him clenching his teeth together and he look angry but his eyes looked sad.

"Cmon with me" he grabbed my hand and helped me but but I immediately fell right back down.  I wish I wasn't so weak. Spots not supposed to see me weak he thinks I'm tough I hope and I'd like it to stay that way.  He looks back down at me and then before I know he he picks me up and starts carrying me in his arms. 

"No spot I really can walk"

"No ya can't" he smirked at kept walking

"Where are we going?" I ask my vision getting blurry and I can feel my words slurring together 

"Just close your eyes ok?" 

I do close my eyes and almost immediately am unconscious. I only wake up for a moment and hear spot humming something while walking along. In my tired state I can only make out a little of it but the tune sounded very framiliar for some reason.

It's been WAY too long since I've written but I hope people like this chapter. I had major writers block writing it so I'm not sure if it's good or not because it took me like 4 weeks of stopping and starting.
