Kristina's PoV

My head snaps to the direction of the shout.

"Why don't you guys just fuck off and leave me alone. Unless you want your heads smash in!" The dark surrounding heightens my senses as I can accurately pinpoint his scream. I look at my clothes trying to accurately judge whether I could help the male or not.

"Oh, fuck it..." I quickly pull out my phone and dial Eric's number. I arrive at the alley and decide to hide around the corner to study the situation. Currently three big looking men, two holding smaller figure up on the wall and another stood in front of the smaller man. The smaller man struggled to pry his arms out of two of the men while the other man in front of him held a knife to his throat. Yet the man continued to struggle despite the obvious threat.

"Fuck you guys, you think that a small knife will kill me?!" I roll my eyes at the stubborn man but it's not like I could blame him. If that was me, I'd probably be thinking the same. However, I wouldn't lash out as much as he is right now.

"Heya Sage how did the date g-"

"Not right now Eric, I need you to come pick me up and fast." I heard him already getting up and heading to the car.

"What's the problem, are you hurt?"

"No, I'm fine but this loud mouth fellow won't be soon." I end the call knowing that Eric knows where I am generally, and he could track my phone anyways. Ditching my bag with the phone in it I returned my attention to the task at hand. What am I getting myself into... Quickly thinking, the first thing is hiding my face to whoever survives can't track me down. Ripping the bottom part of the dress of I use it as a mask covering my mouth and nose. I quickly take out my contacts to hide my eyes. I check the boys again to make sure they haven't done any serious damage yet but thankfully, the only thing they've done is cut his cheek slightly.

"Look fella, don't take it personal of course. We are waiting for your friend."

"What, who a-"

"Do you guys get off on beating strangers you find on the streets or is this what you think a friendly greeting it?" Upon hearing my voice all four males turn to face me. The three attacking males all wore black masks, guess they intend to hit and run, possibly a robbery but they were waiting for someone. Probably a gang sent out his chumps to return collect some money from his friend. Not wanting to get too indulge in their problems I reframe myself from asking any actual questions about the situation.

"What's with the get up, you don't seem too tough." He nods to one of them men who is holding the right arm of the guy they were currently attacking. He left his arm and then proceeds to pursue me. He pulls out a knife giving me a sinister look from the gap that was cut from his mask to show his mouth. Ignoring him I look over his shoulder at the man who was their 'leader'.

"Oh no what can a little innocent woman like me do against one simple man." My voice held no emotion as I gave an 'are-you-serious' look at the leader of this pathetic group. He seems to become agitated by my comment. Losing control of his temper he lunges at me aiming for my shoulder. I roll my eyes and while he smiles thinking he managed to land an attack I swiftly move to the side. This forced the man to fall face first on the ground below us. Sighing I turn back to the other two showing my obvious expression of boredom. Then out of nowhere laughter began to fill the air. This made everyone's eyes snap to the man that was pinned against the wall with one man's hand against his neck.

"This is priceless! I mean I'm being saved by a woman but I'm not the one losing against her."

"Can't you just shut up?!" With that the man dove at him with the knife stabbing him in the gut. 'Shit well this didn't turn out as planned.' Seeing this, the man who was holding him dropped him, digging his hands into his head.
