Chapter 2!
After the man left, Mercedes ran over to me and kneeled down. "Corvette! Are you okay?"
Doc looked down. "Mercedes, take her to the back and wash her up. Porsche. Tayota.. Clean up this mess Corvette, you are excused for the rest of the day." Doc turned around and walked back into her office.
I stood up and ran into the back with Mercedes following me.
"Are you okay?" She looked at me with worry in her voice.
"Yah…"
"Are you sure?"
I wiped my eyes. "C-can I just leave please?"
"You don't wanna clean up a little?"
"No… I just wanna go…"
"Well… okay then…"
I thanked her and grabbed my stuff. I ran outside to my bike and got on it. I quickly took off not turning around. For the rest of the day I rode my bike. I wasn't really headed anywhere… I just wanted to think.
It was getting dark by the time I started heading home. I was quickly pedaling when I saw two headlights behind me. I moved to the side of the road but the car didn't pass. I realized it was following me and I pedaled faster. My legs were hurting more and more but I didn't stop. I HAD to keep going.
The car drove up beside me and tried to ram me. I screamed and tried to dodge it. My bike slid on the snow and I flew off of it, skidding across the black ice. I groaned when I picked my head up. The car pulled up behind me. I quickly got to my feet and raced away. I heard footsteps behind me. Tears pooled in my eyes as I quickly turned a corner.
Oh shit! A dead end! A rock wall stood in front of me. I turned around.
"Why hello there GIRL!" A man yelled.
"Wha-what do you want from me?" My voice quivered.
The three people started walking closer to me.
"Get away from me!"
That's when one of the men roughly grabbed my arm. I screamed loudly as his nails dug into me.
"Let her go." A rough voice said.
Everyone turned around to see a small masked figure standing at the front of the alley. He wore all black.
"What the hell?" One of the men said.
"I said… let her go."
"Fuck off kid! We have orders to get this girl and were not stopping until we have her!"
"Very well." The figure looked up. He grabbed something out of his side and threw it. It hit one of the men in the side. He yelled out in pain as his hand flew to his side and he fell.
"Why you little…!" The other two men ran over to the figure. One man threw a punch but the figure dodged, grabbed the man's fist, and twisted his arm behind his back. The man yelled and another man raced behind the figure. The figure kicked the other man in the stomach making him fall back and hit his head on the hard ground falling unconscious. He pushed the man he had onto the ground and punched his back. The man yelled and the figure punched his head making this man fall unconscious.
The figure stood up and looked at all three of the unconscious men. It then started walking towards me. I backed away against the wall and help my hand up in front of my face.
"P-please don't hurt me…"
The figure kneeled down next to me and took my arm. He looked at my bleeding hand and tore a piece of cloth off of his cape and wrapped it around my hand.
"Ey! You butthole!" I looked up and the figure turned around. A small tubby figure stood at the alleyway. This one wore a mask too.. and had pointy nails.
"What did I say! I said…" he trailed off when he saw me.
"And just WHAT do you think your doing?"
"Im tending to her wounds…" The figure said.
"No nu-uh! That's MY job! Im supposed to be the protector of the city! Not you!"
"Who… who are you two?"
"I am… The Coon!" The tubby figure yelled.
"I am Mysterion."
"Mysterion?"
The figure looked up at me and nodded. He then stood up.
"She is done." He looked at me.
"Where do you live?"
"Not far from here… just a couple of miles…"
"Can you walk?"
"Yes… I can."
"Then you better start heading home. Don't worry. No one is going to bother you again tonight."
I stood up and smiled. " Thank you."
I looked at both figures and ran off to my house. I finally got home and saw that the lights were on inside. I nervously walked up to the door and knocked on it.
"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?" my grandmother yelled as soon as she swung open the door. She looked as if she had just gotten home from a party and she sounded drunk.
"Grandma, im sorry, i-"
"GET YOUR ASS IN THIS HOUSE RIGHT NOW YOUNG LADY!"
She reached out and snatched my arm digging her long pink manicured nails in them just as the man had done. She then tugged me into the house, threw me to the ground, and slammed the door.
"Where were you tonight?"
"Grandma, I was almost kidnapped! These men came after me and-"
"I've have had ENOUGH of your bullshit lies!" She grabbed my hair and yanked me up/
"Now get your scrawny worthless ass upstairs NOW!"
"Ow! Grandma! Your hurting me!" I yelled as she threw me onto the stairs.
"Do NOT yell at me you little bitch!"
"Grandma! You're drunk!"
She gritted her yellow teeth and pointed a long bony finger up the stairs. "GO!"
"No grandma! Stop! You're drunk!"
"How DARE you tell me what to do! I should ring your neck!: She yelled and charged up the stairs after me. Screaming I ran into my room and slammed the door.
She ran up too and started banging on it as I pulled out my suitcase. I threw all my clothes in it which wasn't very much. I also threw a framed picture of me and my mom when we went to Disney Land. I grabbed the phone and dialed the first number I could think of.
"Get your ass outta there now!"
Someone on the other line picked up. "Hello?"
"BRITTNEY!"
"Allison? Are you okay? What's wrong?"
"I'm going over to your house! I'll be over there in 10 minutes!" I slammed the phone down and pressed End.
"YOU LITTLE BITCH! GET OUTTA THERE!" I heard a crack. She's going to break down the door!
I ran to the window and thrust it open. I threw my suitcase out, then I jumped onti the snow. I quickly got up and raced to Brittney's house.
"Get back here!" I heard my grandmother yell from my window. She must'ave broken the door down…
