I heard the footsteps advancing on me. Without glancing back I increased my speed, my lungs burning for air, vision hazy while cuts stinging after mingling with the tears and that is when I heard it. Laughter of a girl, surging a hope long dead and just as I was about to turn the corner, my foot gave in, hitting my head hard on the concrete floor.
"Finally" one of the two guys chuckled now walking towards me.
"The bitch sure knows how to run" another one commented kicking me hard in the stomach.
I couldn't help but groan as fresh tears started while I gave him my most baneful glare.
"Aren't you a tasty little thing, girl?" he gripped my face in a deathly grip licking his lips hunger standing out in his dark eyes.
Before I could so much as spat at him, we heard another voice, a thick British accent, a tinge of amusement lingering in it, "She sure is mate".
Both the man stood up now, tensed and ready to attack while my saviour looked relaxed, more like bored with everything going on.
He turned around and started walking away again, dread obtaining its place in my heart and I closed my eyes acknowledging my fate. But I heard that soft voice again, "Niklaus help the girl" like an order. I turned to see him give a long suffering sigh before he looked at my attacker with disgust in his eyes.
"I will give you a chance to walk away before anything bad happens" he said his eyes dead set on them, I can see the fear in their eyes and I turned to look at him again.
"Look man, we don't want any trouble so" "Then get lost" he cut the pervert guy leaving no place for any argument.
"Adam let's go! He isn't someone to mess with" and just like that they were gone.
"You sure you are fine Caroline" the girl with soft voice whom I later learned is Camillie asked me for 10th time in past 5 minutes, I could only nod and give a small smile.
"Sweetheart, do we really need to take her home" Niklaus asked from the front seat.
"Without a doubt no sir, I can find my way from here" I said in a small voice earning a "No way" from Camillie but after some urging the car stopped and I got out thanking them for all the help and started walking on the opposite direction.
10…9…8…7…6…5…4 and I heard it, the heavy footsteps and a "Wait! They are calling you back" I couldn't help the smirk overtaking my feature before I replaced it with confusion and turned around.
"Why?" I asked.
"Let's just go" the driver said walking back, after waiting for few second to show a little conviction I walked slowly and sat in, giving a hesitating smile to Camillie who smiled back while I felt Niklaus's eyes on me, I looked at him for few second but when I realized he is dead set on staring at me I started looking out the window.
Of course falling down and hitting the ground wasn't in the plan, but to dethrone a king few cuts and bruises aren't a big deal.
So I hope the pilot was good enough, looking forward to the reviews. Next chapter will be updated depending on the reviews.
