Althea POV
I slowly turned around to face the Mr. Stormy Eyes and his gang hoping they wouldn't notice be under the mask and make me take it off.
Mr. Stormy Eyes stared at me with dark eyes and in an fighting stance which kinda worried me. I noticed his three buds behind him. I had absolutely no idea what to expect, but I did know that if he did ask me to join his gang. I would instantly decline because that was one way to exposing my identity and I just couldn't risk it.
❝That was a good fight in there.❞ Mr. Stormy Eyes said in a very calm voice which kinda made my fear double cause I couldn't sense anything in his voice.
I just nodded my head still down and started moving past them. As I was walking past Stormy Eyes, he caught my arm.
❝ Did I tell you to leave? I want you to fight my friend here and you win we'll leave you alone if you don't, you will join our gang.❞ said Stormy Eyes with a strange look in his eyes.
I was shocked that they would have me fight their friend who I know is the second best fighter out of all three of them.
❝Sorry, no. I don't have the time to fight or join a gang.❞ I retorted back with a bit of bitterness in my voice that I couldn't hide and regretted after. I didn't want to say anything but my mouth opened anyways.
❝I don't care. You're fighting my friend here in 2 days.❞ He said back with coldness and steel enforced in his voice that meant I couldn't back out of this. Then he got this strange look in his eyes again.
❝Have I seen you before? Those eyes...❞ He trailed on. Panic started rising in me and I begged baby jesus that he wouldn't recognize me and just let it go. He had confusion and determination written all over his face.
As if he was determined to figure out who I was under the mask...and that scared me. His grip on my arm had loosened and I took that as a chance to escape before this gets worse that it already is.
❝I have to go.❞ I said and then ran without sparing them a glance.
I didn't look back because behind me was someone who could affect my universe in more ways than possible. He either would crush it or making it for the better.
