Assassin of the Night:

Third POV:

New York, August 2 2004:

The night seemed peaceful except for the sounds of muffled screaming that was coming from an abandoned alley. One look inside the alley would leave any

passerby horrified. Four men were in the midst of groping and raping a terrified teenage girl while laughing drunkenly to themselves. One of them ripped off the girl's

shirt while another one took off her pants, leaving her in her white virginal bra and panties. The pretty brunette looked into the faces of her attackers with wide eyes

and tears flowing down her cheeks as if she can't believe that she was about to be raped. What neither the four rapists and the would-be rape victim noticed was the

shadowy figure in the shadows of the alley. Suddenly the figure disappeared while at the same time one of the rapists suddenly dropped to the ground dead. His

three friends and the girl looked at him in shock only for the girl to scream in her gag as they spotted three wicked red knives imbedded in the dead man's back and

one in the back of his skull. The remaining men quickly drew their pistols and began to turn around, looking for the attacker. A few seconds later one of the men

tripped and fell and began to scream as he was dragged into the shadows by chains wrapped around his ankles until his screams were cut short by the sickening

sounds of slashing. Immediately the two rapists began to fire blindly in the direction where their friend was taken and killed. After emptying their clips, they believed

they were safe from harm but their assumptions were proven as one of the two rapists dropped dead like the first rapist with a knife in his throat. The final rapist

began to look around in a terrified manner. After a minute of turning the man shouted angrily:" Where are you?!". The man was answered from behind with the

following statement:" Right behind you.". The man turned around quickly only to see his throat slit with a sword that had the same color and terrifying aura as the

knives. The man dropped to the ground dead and the attacker finally showed himself to the nearly naked girl who squeaked in fright upon the sight of the man.

The man was dressed in midnight black armor that seemed to look Greek style. The man was a breastplate and a mitpa (skirt) that were both midnight black and

trimmed blood red at the edges. He also wore a helmet which covered his entire face and a steel covering of his mouth. Also, he was wearing a cape of the same

color as the rest of the armor. He was wearing a belt that pockets around his waist. But the most terrifying aspect of his appearance was his blood red eyes that

covered both the white and the pupil. Those haunting eyes were the only thing visible thing in his face. The man knelt by the girl and with a gentle tone asked:" Are

you alright.". At the girl's confused nod he gave her clothes back to her. Then he told her to go home. As the girl went away the man looked at the Empire State

Building and thought that it was best not to keep his powerful, not to mention extremely short tempered, allies waiting.
