"Get off me now!" i warned as tryed backing out of the dark alley, the three men stepped closer and i stepped back auto-matically, bumping into the man behind me,"Don't be like that sweet-heart" he stroked my hair with his hand and i slapped it away and looked around for some way to escape.

The fear in my body was so intense i couldn't think straight, but i manged to slowly take the pepper-spray out of my back pocket without the men noticing, i bought my hand to the side and the man behind grabbed my shoulder's "GET OFF ME!" i screamed jumping out of his hold and turning swiftly spraying him in the eyes, as he fell to the ground and started screaming in pain, i jumped over him and ran down the alley.

I could hear the men follow so i ran faster, but thanks to my dad's side of the family i tripped and almost stumbled to the ground, i moticed the foot-steppes behind me had stopped, and i was in another man's arms, i jumped up but he kept his hold of my arms and pulled me behind his back, he didn't let go, instead his velvet voice warned my attackers "Go ... now, or you'll regret it" his hand tensed as i tried pulling out of his hold,"What you gonna do pretty boy?" i galnced around the man holding me to see one of the men stepped forwardand the other two stood behind him grinning at me.

"You don't wonna know!" he man tightend his hold on my arm a tiny bit, but if i was quick enough i could still release his grip. "Yehh" one of the men stepped forward as he spoke"try me!" he spat, before i could think about what was happening the man let go of me and the man that had stepped forward was flung from where he stood to the back of the alley."Any one else?" his velvet voice questioned as he gripped my arm again.

The other two men ran, and pretty fast... i was suprised they didnt catch me. He velvet voiced man chulcked and turned to face me,"Are you okay?" he asked checking my body to see if i was hurt,"I...i'm fine,, ermm thanks" my voice was shaking with fear,He man chuckled again and pulled me out of the alley, it wasnt that dark out, but the street lights where dim, as if they has only jsut been turned on. "You need a ride home?" he asked stopping infront of his car. I don't know why... but i trusted this starnge man"Sure, thanks" he opened the door for me.. sucha gentleman, and i slid in.

He got in the drivers side and started the engine "Where to? " he waited paitently before setting off,"Ermm, the block of flats on Queens Street" i pulled my legs to my chest and wrapped my arms around them. The truama i had just been in finally got to me, and i couldn't help it, but i started to cry, he pulled over and wrapped his arms around me, "It's okay, your safe now" he handed me a tissue and i stopped crying,"Sorry, i am being daft" he chuckled and started driving again,"No.. your not, you nearly got ... assualted, crying is what to be expected" he smiled at me then turned back to the road.

"I'm Edward, by the way.. and you are?" he asked kindly, "Bella, nice to meet you Edward, even if it was the most horrible way to meet some one" i smiled but he didnt see, he laughed, "You got that right.... i hope you don't mind me asking.. but what where you doing down a dark alley so late at night..?" He slowed down , i hadn't noticed but he was going nearly 70 miles an hour,"I was looking for a book store, but when i reilised i had the map the wrong way round i went down the alley to get to the main road..." my voice started shaking again.

"Which store was you looking for...?" he rose one eyebrow, obviously there wasnt any book stores around here, well how did i know, i'm new around here for crying out loud! "Summer Reader's" i glanced at him to see if his expression showed how far off i was... nope plain face no sing of emotion what so ever."Hahaha, thats the other side of town, my mother owns the store" he chuckled quietly, and pulled up again"Well, here we are" he didn't seem in any hurry to get rid of me, but i wanted to go to my room and cry"Thanks for the ride... i'll probly see you soon, well if i can ever find that dang book store" i laughed and he laughed with me.

"Hey," i said just before i opened the car door,"why don't i come by tomorrow and pick you up, and give you a ride to the book store?" he smiled and i smiled back, "I'd love that thanks, around ... 10-ish?" he chuckled at my answer, "Sure, see you then Bella",
i got out of the car and ran to the door, i buzzed my room number and turned.. he was still there, i turned around again and smiled to myself "Hello.." the voice in the inter-con said "Alice its Bella, i left my key.." i asnwered back,"You and that dang key-buzz- come on up". I turned around to see if he was still there, he was i giggled to myself and walked inside and i heard his car drive off.
