Once a Dare leads to Love (BOOK 1)

Eric P.O.V

"Bingo!" I said as the silver rod directly landed on the head of one of them. Always perfect! I smirked at my aim.

When I stopped at the finish line, I was surprised by the fact that I won!?! I mean she was practically better than me, and I could clearly see my defeat waiting on the finishing line for me, then how could this miracle happened? I looked behind on the track where there were no signs of her.

Suddenly, disappointment filled me. Did she leave? Or did she vanished into thin air? Or worse, could have run away somewhere or again slapped someone? Of course, she was Psycho, a wild kitten, you couldn't trust her, anything was expected with her. But this place was illegal for God's sake!

Shaking several weird thoughts away, when I walked back leaving my bike on the finish line, the scene in front of me made something in the pit of my stomach burned. I didn't know who those men were but the way one of them was gripping her jaw, the sight was enough to make my blood boiled. I felt too aggressive to beat the shit out of them.

So picking what I found near me, I aimed at one of those heads and throw it. And of course, it landed perfectly.

"What the fuck?" One of them shouted as he looked at the lying figure of his friend.

"Who the hell are you?" He again shouted as his eyes narrowed at me. I ran towards them with the fastest speed possible. I stopped at a few feet of distance and looked at Skylee, who was watching all the drama with bewildered eyes.

I passed her an assuring nod. I tried to say with my eyes 'It's okay, I'm here now.' but she didn't seem to notice it.

"Hold on," the other guy said to the previous one then he looked at me. "Listen, buddy! It's our personal matter, don't try to be a hero here. And I can see you're a young boy why don't you go somewhere else to try your luck?" He ended with a wink. While he blabbered all this nonsense, I took my time to looked around and to my relief, they were only two – one was already done.

But that hit me. What did he mean by 'personal matter'?

"Do you know her?" I asked when my eyes fell on the kitten behind them. She bent a little and slowly tiptoed towards the silver rod then looked at me. I raised my left brow at her. She placed her index finger at her lips saying to me to 'Stay quiet'.

I smirked and looked back at the man who was now standing right in front of me.

"Yeah! We know her. She is the..." Before he could complete, Skylee literally knocked the rod in both of their heads at the same time. Their eyes narrowed in pain as they both touched their heads, and fell on the ground, without even making any noise.

Did... Did she just?

I choked the air surprise or shocked, I didn't get the time to interpret. It was unexpected. I hadn't thought that she would really hit them, that too so harshly. I stared at her and back at those lying figures with nothing but bewilderment.

"Personal matter huh? I tell you what luck is!" She said, kicking them on their stomachs and making them groan in pain. "Just wish you won't see me again because that would be bad luck!" She again kicked and those poor men again groaned like some wounded helpless animals.

I just watched her with amusement and bewilderment, still at my spot. And I came here to rescue her but seemed like these poor men need my help. But mostly I was amused. She looked like a tigress ready to beat the shit out of anyone who dared to mess with her.

Before she could launch more at them, I came out of my trance and marched towards her. They could be more here and if they came with their full gang, it would be bad luck for us. After all, this was an illegal area and you couldn't expect something good here.
