I don't know how it happened. I just know that one second I noticed a young boy getting beaten up and the next the men were on the floor and I was helping the teen.
"Are you alright?" I asked stupidly. Of course he's not okay!
"yeah, I'm used to it being who I am and all that..." he mumbles angrily. He must be about 18 or 19. It catches me off guard. Who is he? He must've sensed my confusing because he continued, "I'm umm...Jacky's son" His baby blue eyes show worry as his voice goes into a low whisper. His eyes are portals into his whole life. Blue waves cover delighted dancing dolphins; whales wallow in worry; sharks shake in resentment.
"Hey, it's okay, I'm not gonna hurt you." I calmly reply.

The young man leads me through the city back to his dads house. It isn't the smartest choice since I will know where the big boss mans base is. As he leads me to the base, I notice the increase of defences. Honestly I was kinda intimidated. Men in silver suits hold large spears, ready for the kill.
"Soo. Before we meet my dad, I need to know your name." oh shit. I haven't told the kid my name yet. I stutter as the guy chuckles.
"Anya, Anya Foller." he hums and starts walking again. He trudges up to a large door. He knocks three times, two, two, one. The door opens to reveal a large burly guard. He eyes me up and down before marching us to a main room.
A thin red strip lead up to a group of men. They were talking harshly but quietly. I could pick up a few words and it didn't sound good, "...Robin...married....by 20 years old....no no no... Oh, Robin, hi" one particularly muscled guy greets the teen. His low grumbled voice directs itself at the bruise on his sons face, "is this her? Did she do this?" the man goes to smack me but Robin gets in the way.
"no father, she saved me!" he said, looking at me with admiration. The boss man looks at me and back at the grouping of men at the end of the room. They all have a look in their eyes.
"Well young lady, you shall be wed at once!"
