One Hell of a Ride

"This should be fun..." you said aloud, walking at a slow pace. You made a mental note of what she instructed and made your way down the street.

Taking a right, you started looking for that sign she told you about. "The Skinned Leopard, huh? What an odd name for a..." You stopped right in your tracks, the building right in sight. "It's...a strip club...?" Really? A goddamn strip club?!

The sign did in fact say The Skinned Leopard, but she failed to mention that there were also three big Xs just below the thing! "Oh boy, this night just keeps getting better and better...or...is it daytime?" The giant pentagram in the blood red sky didn't make it as obvious as a blue one with the big ball of gas.

You walked across the street, eager to not get made into roadkill by the speeding cars, seriously, you get it's Hell and all but can't they at least have the common decency of letting the pedestrians cross the street?

In front of the odd smelling club, were a couple of prostitutes and druggies. The druggies seemed to either be bugging the prostitutes by trying to get them to by their drugs or demanding a refund for a unenthusiastic handjob. One girl had long legs and big fluffy hair, she seemed to be like a diva but you couldn't refute the fact that she was definitely beautiful.

Walking past them, you went to the alley way right next to it. Man, does this place need a can of air freshener or what? Hopefully, it will all be over soon, since the hotel was right around the corner. Debating on whether or not you should truly go forward, you heard someone whispering something unintelligible.

"Whatever, here goes nothing..." you whispered. While walking towards the broken fence, you could hear footsteps coming from behind you. "Oh no, I hope those footsteps aren't coming for me..." you whispered softly so you could not be heard. Right before you could go through the broken fence board, someone grabbed you and said, "Hey there little missy, is there something I can do for you?"

You turned around, only to be face to face with a man with long rabbit-like ears and three sets of bright citrine colored eyes. He seemed to be wearing a dirty old tuxedo, obviously not washed in years and pockets full of cocaine bags, so much so that they were practically falling out.

"U-um, I-I don't believe so, sir..." you squeaked out when he squeezed your arm that he took in his grasp. He had a horrid breath, it stunk of alcohol and cigarettes. It made your eyes water and your lungs beg for mercy, as you coughed. "Really sweetheart? By the looks of it, you seem just a teeny bit lost."

"I-I actually know exactly where I'm going, thank you very much for your concern..!" you said trying to round up some courage.

He pulled you closer, and held you tighter. "Well, isn't that cute? The mouse it trying to be brave, aww how adorable! How about you and me take this little conversation back to my place and we'll try to find your way home, alright little red Riding Hood?"

"N-no! Please stop! You're hurting me!" you said frantically as you tried to free yourself from his claws. You were about to scream when then you heard someone shout.

"HEY! Shit-face! Leave the girl alone, ya hear me?!"

The monster turned around, just to laugh. He threw you to the ground, making you whimper in fear and pain. Your vision was blurry from the adrenaline rush that nearly caused you to have a panic attack.

"Pfft, and what are you gonna do dra-" before he could finish his sentence, he was punched right in his nose. The impact must had been so great that it caused him to be knocked out. He collapsed on to the ground, as a thud accompanied him.

"That's what I'm gonna do, you steaming hot pile of dog shit." they said, fuming. Your heart was racing, you didn't know if you could or should trust the person who just saved you. Though, you knew that you were beyond grateful.
