Hornet sneered at Riccio and turned on her heel and outside and into the streets. Suddenly something or someone grabbed her and pulled her into an alley way.
'Hello poppet.' someone hissed. Hornet scrunched her nose up as his breath smelt strongly of alohol. 'What is someone as beautiful as you running around in the streets.'
Hornet tried to pull her wrist away but his grip only tightened.
'So you must be only 15.'
Hornet glulped as the man pulled her further into the alleyway. All Hornet could do was scream for her saviour Scipio.
Scipio kissed Celia's cheek as he dropped her off just by her house.
'Goodbye.' she breathed. Scipio smiled, pulled his mask over his face and ran off. Ass soon as the door shut, he heard someone scream out his name.
'SCIPIO!' suddenly the scream stopped. He knew that voice, it was Hornet. He first ignored it, but soon a scream was heard.
'Jesus, does this girl never stop whining.' Scipio sighed and he made his way to the Stella.
'Hey Skip, have you seen Hornet caus she ran out crying.' Riccio asked. Scipio's face paled and he ran out.
'I'm coming Katerina, I'm coming. He rushed passed a black alley way and stopped when he heard a voice.
'Stop screaming poppet. No one can hear you. Shut up. I'm going to enjoy this and you are going to enjoy this.' he heard someone hiss. Then something sharp gleamed in the moonlight- it was a knife. A few clothes were scattered on the street and a faint sobbing was heard.
Scipio, not thinking twice, pulled on his mask and rushed down the dark alleyway to see Hornet with her eyes shut and a man hovering over her. Scipio kicked the man down and grabbed the mans knife that had fallen to the floor.
Scipio grabbed the man by the collar.
'You better leave this young girl alone or you will have to go through me.'
'Ah, the great Theif Lord. I've heard stories about you.' the man smirked and kicked Scipio in the stomach. Scipio groaned as he fell to the floor.
Meanwhile Hornet was pulling her clothes on. When she saw Scipio fall to the floor, she ran straight at the man.
'Leave him alone!' she cried as she jumped on his back and started to hit him. The man threw Hornet off his back and she hit the wall and became unconscious. Scipio, upon seeing this, roared in anger and kicked the man straight in the face and threw him into the dustbin, unconscious.
In one swift move, Scipio bent down and gracefully picked up Hornet.
'Don't worry Katerina, I'll take care of you.'
