Don't Mess With Her!

Chapter one

Its was cold and dark when Claire Danvers finally left the club, she waved goodbye to all her friends and almost started crying as they all smiled and waved back to her. As she went through the doors she heard them all cheered a "goodbye and good luck Claire." I'll miss all of you, she though to herself as she turned down an alley which she regularly used when walking home from town.

Claire looked up at the sky which was a shade of orange due to all the lights in Seattle. She hoped that she would see the stars when she moved to Texas, see them shimmer in the sky like fairy lanterns and how the moon could guide you in the night. Claire loved it at night, everything just seemed calmer more relaxed, when everyone who rushed about during the day could sleep and dream.

Claire was so caught up in her thoughts she didn't notes that she had stopped walking and was now standing in the middle of the alley-way.

"Well, well, well what do we have here? Little girls shouldn't stand around in a dark alley like this at night."

Claire snapped her head in their direction and saw three quite creepy looking guys standing at the entrance to the alley-way. She pointed at herself, stunned by their comment. The guy in the middle was taller than the other two and stepped forward nodding.

"How about you come with us, we'll keep you safe" He turned to the other guys behind him "wont we boys?" the "Boys" smiled sickly and nodded.

"Right Boss" they chorused.

Claire smiled "Auw that's really nice of you" her smile turned wicked "but no thanks" she turned and started walking in the other direction "see ya, "boys"" she laughed out loud and turned the corner out of the alley into her neighbourhood.

Claire isn't stupid, everyone knows that (which was one of the reasons she was moving to morganville, Texas) she knew the creepy guys would follow her after she rejected them...and then started laughing at them. She felt their presence slowly creeping up on her. She could hear their pants (yes panting, Claire can walk really fast when she wants to) A little closer. She thought. She heard a rustle of fabric moving slowly, then heard the whistle of an object swinging through the air. Now! Claire ducked just as a led pipe swung through the air where her head had occupied.

"You missed" Claire stood up, grabbed the pipe on the back swing and smiled wickedly; her voice was filled with venom. She could see "Boss's" eyes turn from fury into astonishment and. Fear. She couldn't help but laugh at his face.

This distracted all three men which Claire took advantage of to kick "boss" between his legs and his grip on the pipe loosened and Claire yanked it free of him.

"My names Claire by the way" she snapped the pipe in half with her knee and dropped both half's "remember my name so you can warn all your friends about me, okay" she turned away and walked home happy to leave Seattle on a good note.
