The Star I've Been Looking For

Chapter 8

Cassie's POV:

I grabbed the doorknob to my house and swung the door open with great force. The door flew over to Mars. May the force be with you.

Okay Cassie— no time for jokes your mother's in trouble.

I looked around the living room and see that no one's there. All the lights in the house are turned off. Only one was open.

The basement.

I rushed down the stairs and saw my mom tied to a chair, her eyes panicking, and a handkerchief around her mouth. She looks behind me and my instincts are telling me to duck.

So I did.

I swept my leg backwards, I heard someone stumble from behind. I stood up and turned around to see who was there.

The light was only pointed at where my mom was sitting so their faces were diminished but I can see the smirk from their faces when they think they've got a good thing going for them.

Well guess what, you're in trouble.

I sighed in relief to see that they were just gang members who wanted to rob our house, and not the one I was expecting to be here.

There were about four of them plus the one on the floor so five.

He got knocked out since his head hit the floor since he didn't expect that blow to him. Well boo hoo— didn't think girls could fight huh? I'll keep you entertained.

The guy on the right side cracked his knuckles and walked wearing a crooked smile on his face.

He throws a jab at my right side but his meaty arms are too slow. I'm now on my feet, adrenaline filled, and lightly bouncing.

I grab his fist and twist his arm. He groans in pain. His other members are just standing there watching him, I wonder why.

The one on the floor who I recently knocked out from the start suddenly starts walking up to me-wait no he was crawling like a baby, he then grabs my ankle while smiling creepily.

Oh shit, shit. I'm wearing a freaking skirt.

"Nice underwear you've got there, lady. Too bad you can't beat us." He says while I'm struggling with my ankle.

I kick the guy whose arm I'm holding in the balls and pushed him away so he fell afterwards stumbling from the pain. I proceeded to kick the pervert. But, he stood up aiming a jab with a straight at my face.

I grab his wrist and turned around— his back against mine, then I used my force to carry him on my back and flipped him over my head and slammed him onto the floor, knocking him out just like the other.

I turn around to still see the other three standing up and observing me.

"What are you waiting for?" I asked them. "Just come at me all at once maybe there you'd be able to observe me more."

One guy comes out of the shadows. Pretty weak body if you look at it. He runs at me and I swerve so he passes by me. I run at him and punch him in the gut with full force, he tries to pull my head and succeeds in it a bit then I knee his gut. Oof, combo.

Wait.. did the other guy bleed or something? I think he was still crouched there. I wond-

What? Ouch what was that?

Oh..

There was now one guy in front of me smirking and I just realized I got headbutted.

I held my forehead but luckily..
