crystal tears

chapter 4

It was dark.With the man following me behind , I couldn't possibly take the man with me on my cycle so here I was walking to my home with him following behind. I tried to find my kitty but it seemed to be found nowhere.

A strange smell hit my nose , it was of blood . The catman behind me stood forward at hissed , I took that as a sign to stop .

He walked towards an alleyway his steps hesitant but also confident. He was far too gone inside the poorly lit road , I waited for him but I couldn't hear a single thing . I finally mustered up the courage to look for him . I admit I was a bit weird to care for the person I just met but I couldn't help it . I couldn't help feeling concerned for him . I just met him but it felt as if I knew him from a long time .

I walked in trying to be as quiet as possible . The foul smell of blood was now much stronger . I bumped into someone's back , it was way dark to clearly see . The person held my hand and clenched it , it's warmth making me feel comfortable. It was the cat man , he placed my finger on his lips telling me to stay quiet. I could hear some voices but couldn't clearly make out the sentences. I felt the warmth of my hand slipping. I felt the catman stepped forward .

I crouched down as I heard some crashes . I was scared of the darkness , it felt as if I were blindfolded. I suddenly realised I had my phone with me . I turned the flash light on and began walking forward . The voices now clearer , some people were beating someone. I saw catman's back he was trembling . I looked forward to see some bad looking guys beating up a person who was leaning against the dumpster , trying to escape . I rushed quickly to stop them but they were four of them and had weapons with them .

I saw a half broken empty beer bottle and took it in my hands for safety purpose and hid it behind myself. I quickly switched off my flash light. "Hello? Is someone there ?" I asked trying to sound as composed as possible . Light was thrown at me making me squint and then at the beaten up person who looked at me painfully . "Can't you see we're busy at the moment babygirl?" A guy smirked at me , splashes of blood on his face and I mentally cringed. I faked a smile "oh sorry mister , it was way too dark for me to see . I was a bit lost , I'm new here." I said hiding the disgust in my voice . "Sure pretty thing  lemme get over with this and then I'll lead the way , I know a few hotels with great services . Tonight I promise you to take you to euphoria. If you know what I mean to say" He winked at me playfully and I almost gagged .

I heard a meow and looked beside to see the catman hugging his knees in fear . It was dark but I was still able to see this cat like eyes shining .He gave me a worried look, I smiled at him in reassurance. "I wouldn't mind the fun , but don't you think it would be better if I joined you now ? And maybe.....helped you with this " I said as I pointed towards the almost unconscious man . "Hmmm I like you already , sure thing join us ." He said and I walked forward with the bottle grasped tightly in my hand. Keeping eye contact with him and a smile on my face the whole time. I quickly smashed the bottle in his head and he groaned in pain and fell. The second guy came towards me growling and punched me right on my face . "Oh no bit*h , not my pretty face " I punched him hard equally back that might have broken his nose. The third one ran away in fear . I kicked the leader so that he would remain unconscious. It was only me and the fourth guy now . The guy was looking at the ground the whole time. He looked at my direction and his eyes widened like saucers . "Jiminie?" He said with a shook expression.
