My first Black Cat attempt. Please bare with me!
Walking around at midnight on a deserted street has never been a good idea. In the situation of people wanting you dead or are trying to get rid of you for a large sum of cash it is never safe. Three sweepers are walking the streets tonight in order to find a criminal and collect his bounty. They were being stalked by three men who could rob Arnold Schwarzenegger. I wasn't being a coward being in the rooftops. I just knew when you strike at someone and when you don't. Now was not the time.
"Sven. We are being followed." A girl with blond hair that is a bit on the shorter side.
"Oh great." A green haired guy, probably Sven, said as he turned to face his opposition. Before he turned halfway around a foot caught his neck and he went into a wall.
"Hey leave us alone." A purple haired girl said.
"Eve run." Sven said to the blond. She got two steps before being grabbed as well. I took a rock and hurled it at the guy holding Eve. Who in turn looked up at me.
"Leave them alone you big jerks. I mean how low can one go. Attacking a family like that. I should show you why my reputation is bad." I jump off the roof and land right beside the criminals. "Unless you were just leaving. Then by all means leave." I suggest. They put down the unfortunate trio and run. After they got out of earshot I assumed it was safe to talk. "Don't you hate jerks like that?" I asked half smiling.
"Those guys end up paying my bills." Sven replied.
"Sven. Rinslet he was also following us. He has since we entered this neighbourhood. Probably to keep us out of harm." Eve said.
"Yep." I replied. "See you." I say running as fast as possible away from it. I ended up crashing in my bed.
Adam.
Eve.
Eden.
Destruction.
Must stop this now!
"Adam. Wake up. Adam." A voice sweeter than sugar orders while I was being shaken awake.
"I wanna sleep though." I whine.
"Well you have to go to work in ten minutes." The voice said.
"WHAT! Why did you let me sleep in?" I asked jumping out of my bed and rushing around the room.
"You came home late again Adam. What was I supposed to do?" She asked.
"Wake me up earlier Trinity." I replied running out of my room towards the bin of food.
"Here Adam." A guy said tossing me an apple.
"Thanks Nero." I say taking a bite out of the apple.
"Don't go and choke yourself now." Trinity and Nero say in unison as I run towards the market place at top speed.
"Never." I joke knowing that I will sometime in the future. "I hate getting up early. I can't wait until the government decides that I need more than they give me." I say to myself while nearing the place where I work.
"Adam. Hey buddy. We have to hurry or else we will be late for rush hour." My friend Calam said.
"How is it that we always get into messes like this?" I reply.
"It's our daily routine." He answered like everyday.
"We need a better routine." I retort.
"Or an alarm clock." Our boss Miss Elanancé said. "You almost came in late. I am going to get you two an alarm clock soon." She stated. Me and Calam ran to change into our uniforms. Calam rushed to get into the delivery truck. I was getting the fruit into the back of the truck. Calam honked letting me know that he needed to get going. I finished loading the truck and closed the back. I gave him the thumbs up and he drove off. I went to unload the rest of the packages.
"Stop. Your under arrest." An officer said to a thief running towards the middle of the market. He grabbed a pregnant woman and held a blade to her neck.
"Don't come any closer. Or she'll get killed." The robber threatened.
"Hey boss. Can I throw a watermelon at him?" I asked her.
"No but you can throw a pumpkin with a hole in it at him." She answered. I took one of the pumpkins and kneed a hole in it and threw it at the robber. The hole slid over his head and he pushed the girl away and tried to pull of the pumpkin off of his head.
"Brat. You're going to pay for that." The robber yelled pulling out a gun and shooting it at me. It ended skimming my neck and he looked back at the cops who were gaining on him. He turned and slipped on a piece of pumpkin. The cops placed cuffs on him and took his knife and gun from him. Some guy with brown hair and cat-like eyes stared at me. It was creepy. The cops dragged the guy away and I answered everything by no comment and went back to work hoping the people would just leave me alone.
-At the coffee shop-
"Yo, Sven. You won't believe what I just saw." The brown haired guy said.
"What did you see Train?" Sven asked not really wanting to know what his friend saw.
"A kid threw a pumpkin at a robber and he got a pregnant woman out of trouble." Train answered.
"Did he have blood caked in his blonde hair?" Eve asked.
"Yeah, why do you ask princess?" Train replied with a question tagging along with his answer.
"He saved Sven, Rinslet, and me from getting mugged by a couple of jerks last night." Eve answered.
"His name is Adam, or that's what everyone calls him. He seems to be pretty known throughout town as the strongest and nicest guy in town." Train explained.
"That would explain why he was able to stop those guys." Rinslet stated.
"Well we should go give this guy a visit. He did get us out of hot water and never gave us a chance to say thank you." Sven suggested.
"One problem with that Sven. He is a street kid working so he can feed other street kids in his care. No one would tell me where they lived because they thought I might try to hurt the kids." Train explained. Calam and I walked in to see the people sitting together. Calam slugged me in my arm.
"Hero did it again. How about we go celebrate with some tea and coffee." Calam suggested.
"I'll take some green tea." I said.
"I'll go get our drinks. Black coffee here I come." Calam yelled very loudly.
"Could you get any louder Calam?" I asked.
"Nope. That is as loud as I go Adam." Calam replied. Just as he said my name I get hugged from behind tightly.
"Thank you very much for yesterday. I don't know how to thank you." Sven said hugging me and spinning around in circles. Another time to think about my problems.
