        I peered ever so slightly at every object in my feild of vision. I finally noticed an object just was curved and was completely black. I would've taken it as a garbage bag, that is, if it didnt breath. Almost running on insticts I lunged forward and brought my pipe down on the guys back. He cried out in pain as he rolled on his back.

        "Stop!" he yelled furiously through a dark bug like mask. Wait, I've heard of these guys. They were the Foot something. They have been terrorizing New York City for years now.

        "What do you want? Mercy?" I scoffed with a laugh. "I wouldn't even give it to you if you were crying blood." I hissed at him.

        "You're crazy," he said lookng up at me with disgust laying in his eyes.

        "I am not crazy. I am simply a frightened citizen who knows how to fight." I said with a cocked head of innocence. He suddenly twisted and kicked my legs from underneath me as more Foot people came up from the dark alley. I landed with a thud on my bum and grunted at the impact.

        "If you know how to fight then fight me." he challenged with the pipe now in his hand.

        "Oh but I am just a girl going up against a big strong man. Please have some mercy." I said with my green eyes glazing over with fake tears.

        "Not even if you're crying blood." he mimiked. I cursed under my breath and charged after him as he followed suit only with the pipe lining his arm. I analized that he would be preparing to swing low to knock me off my feet due to him having the pipe low. I began my counter attack into a areial cartwheel. He just missed my head. I landed on my feet and charged at the confused man. I grabbed his neck in a choke hold and wrapped one leg around his waist and kicked his knees out with the other.

        I caused him to fall back but not before I switched positions by turning him so his chest was toward the ground and I was landing on his back. He landed with a hard thump and a few cracks that i assumed to be ribs. I left him there clutching his chest in pain. I grabbed the metal pipe once more as a weapon and survyed the remaining Foot people.

        "Would anyone else like to complain back to their leader or boss that they got there ass kicked by a girl, let alone a teenager?" I said with a warning. Two took the oppertunity to charge at me. There forms were bad and they had no weapons so I had the advantage. In the dark alley way I was that there were four more watching as the two charged. I smirked sweetly and swung the pipe like a bat across one of the Foot people. He fell instantly with a thud.

        The second one was harder to beat. He blocked my blows with his arm and knocked me further into the alley with his swift moves. He even got a punch in; right across my face which was sure to leave a bruise. I metally cursed him as i continued to fight. They began getting an advantae by wearing me out. Until suddenly the one I had been fighting was taken in the midst of the shadows. The other four dissappeared suddenly also.

        "Alright, you take my fight then I will fight you. Show yourself," I comanded in a monotone.

        "Why would we show ya ourselves?" a heavy Brooklyn accent spoke.

        "You took my fight, and I was handeling it fine." I said to the voice. "Also you said 'we'. Who else is there?" I said looking straight where the voice came from.

        "Well there are four of us here." a soft nasally voice spoke.

        "Sup," a surfer like voice spoke.

        "Hello," a formal voice spoke.

        "Fine, I dont care. Just show yourselves so I can beat the shit out of you." I said pointing the pipe at the Brooklyn voice.

        "Now why would you want to harm the guys who saved you?" his Brooklyn accent asked.

        "I said I was fine," I hissed getting impatient. Fianlly I came up with a plan, "Fine, I'll come to you." I said walking closer to the Brooklyn accent. I walked into the shadows to find nothing. I stomped my foot and sighed.

        "Guess I wont," I sighed inwardly. I walked out of the alley and continued to my mothers. I looked at the time and began running. My mum would kill me if I was even a minute late. My curfew is eight o'clock; however, when mum went away on business trips she extended it. She knew she could trust me thats why. Quickly my feet carried me into the apartment building and up the stairs to the eigth floor. Once I reached the top I caught my breath and walked in with five minutes to spare.

        "Mum, I'm home!" I yelled. "Oh, I also got us kitten. Rosy's cat finally had the kittens. She said she was waiting to tell me because she knew I'd want one right away. The kittens are two months old!" I yelled as i went in my room and replaced my clothes with sweatpants again.

        "That is great sweetie!" She said with a smile. "I can get the things tomorrow which I forgot to tell you. Friday I am leaving for two weeks for a business trip to Japan. We have to close a deal with a company and they want me too do it." she said excited.

        "Thats great!" I said. "I am going to Rosy's Saturday to get the kitten. I hope you like the one I pick," I said with a smile as she entered my room.

        "Remember you dont choose the kitten. The kitten chooses you." she said with a smile. "Oh and thanks for the text," she said leaning on my white door frame.

        "Oh shoot. Sorry Mum, Uncle Frank started talking to me and I forgot." I said with a nervous smile.       

        "Oh Uncle Frank is the chatter bug. All is forgiven. You should get rest. Friday is tomorrow and I want you to be well rested for the test." she said coming over and kissing my forehead from where I sat in my swivle chair by my desk.

        "Yes mum," I said. We said our goodnights and Love you's and then she left. I sighed and climbed into my large bed. My soft hair flowed around me like a mane when I layed down. It cluttered my face which left me no choice but to put it up in a bun. I retreated to the bathroom when I over heard my mum talking to someone.

        "Yes, I know." she hissed.

        "I will be there tomorrow." she said hesitantly. Tomorrow? Oh she must be talking to her boss about going to Japan tomorrow. I wonder what she is going to do in Japan? Maybe she will bring me back something. I will have to be quiet tomorrow morning seeing as she will need her rest. I heard what jet leg does to you and I heard it isnt very good.

        With my hair now placed into a bun I slugged back to my lone room only stopping when I heard my mothers whimpers. I concidered going to check on her but I couldn't bare to see her crying so instead I gave a sad smile in her direction and continued off to my bed. 

I cimbed into the now cold bed and cuddle into the big comfoter.  Sighing I slowly drifted off into a event filled dream. I wonder who saved me?
