Rain, One thing Scarlett loved about the weather, The rain. No one was around in her presence when the bad weather was around and she never really minded. Scarlett was a normal teenager who went to a normal school in her area. She lived on a well known island where the marines had a base on so not many pirates were seen. You did see the wanted posters everywhere though and she never really spotted pirates, Nor did she care about all that. She was a small stubby girl with glasses and braces. She had long hair that was usually in pig tails. She had problems making friends due to her looks and her shyness.
On this cold night and she had just been shopping for grocery's for for her grandmother who was feeling ill at this moment of time, She came from a poor family and lived with her grandmother as her father died when she was 1 and her mother left and became a hooker and then died of herpes. The weather was bad with rain dripping down her cotton jacket. She shuddered and carried on walking, She saw the dark ally way and gave a shrug. Her grandmother told her never to walk down there as all the pirates hid there and waited to mug people and then kill them but as the marines where very strict on the law and keeping the island safe that she decided to walk down the ally way. She tucked her money in her jacket pocket and began walking with her head down and her hands in her pockets. The air smelt of cigarette smoke, junk and more junk. There were sirings on top of a few bins and pirate wanted posters flying about everywhere
Then She heard something, Someone behind her.
Properly nothing, She glared out into the darkness and carried on walking. It was a long path and the darkness seemed to just swallow her up as she walked as she rain tapped against her cotton jacket with a sudden thud every now and then when the water ran down her jacket. Till she felt someone grab her by her jacket.
"Bitch, Give me your money," She heard a gruff voice say, She tried to move but his hands were too big and too strong.
"I don't have any," She screamed out
"Don't lie," He screamed and punched her, She fell on her back and cowered to the wall, She knew this was her death. She knew she should of followed her grandmother's advice. She hid her head in her knees and waited till... nothing. She looked up and saw the man falling on the floor."What was that," The man screamed and once again .. nothing, It was a large bomb out of nowhere so She had to run as fast as her stubby legs could take her. She looked back and the man that had mugged her was gone, A man was standing there was a large stick that looked perfect for snipering and in a cape, She also noticed his big nose. She knew would need to find out who this boy was, She began to run towards him and suddenly he disappeared
Who is this boy?
Hmm We've left it at that, I wonder who this big nosed cape wearing sniper could be
Sogaking: sigh
I'd also like to give credit to Rachel who give me the idea for the title
