CATaclysm

Chapter 14: The Path of Downfall

Charles: Let her go!

Criminal: What are you going to do? Shoot me with your water gun?

A criminal was holding a knife to Magi's throat. Her dress was torn indicating he was going to do the unthinkable.

Magi: C-Chars!

Charles: It's okay Magi, look at me. Everything will be okay, trust me.

The amount of terror that Magi felt could only be described by the river of tears that ran down her cheeks. The criminal was wearing a dark hoodie and was covered in a stench of alcohol. Hunching over Magi like a rabid animal protecting its prey, such a sight was making Charles sick to the stomach.

Criminal: Could this be your little sister? Cousin? Or perhaps a stranger you keep around for entertainment?

Charles: Shut up and let her go already!

The criminal just gave a psycho laugh and pulled magi closer to him. Magi groaned as the criminal tightened his grip around her arm. It was clear that this guy did some time in prison and that this was not his first time doing something like this.

Charles: Please let her goal! I'll give you anything you want. Food, water, the car! Here take the keys and the car just please let her goal!

Charles threw the keys to the criminal's feet but he only kicked them back.

Criminal: You know these are hard times for men, there isn't enough "fun" to go around. I don't want your stupid car or food but instead...

He stuck his tongue out and ran it up Magi's right cheek. Like a dog licking a bone. Such a disgusting sight made Charles snap like a twig. He charged so fast and hard that the criminal didn't even have time to react. Charles was able to grab him by the waist, lift him into the air and slam him back into the ground. It was like a football tackle and Magi was the ball that was fumbled.

Magi: Chars! Chars! CHARS!

Magi screamed and screamed but by the time Charles had gained back his senses the criminal was already starting to look like mash potatoes. Charles' knuckles were covered in blood and bruises. Everything happened so fast that not even Charles is sure of what happened. He rushed to hug Magi despite all the blood he was covered in.

Charles: Magi you okay?

Magi just nodded her head and they both shared a tear. It was such a terrifying experience for both of them, but this was just the start of the many more challenges that awaited them. Charles had beaten the shit out of the molester but didn't kill him. Steal breathing sneezing Charles and Magi left him for the catgirls to deal with. They regrouped back at the car and saw Amy was awake and fine. The injury on her forehead was just a minor cut given by the criminal's knife.
