Sydney was sure she'll die. The strong hands on her neck cut off the needed air form reaching her lungs. Dark spots began to appear before her eyes and she felt her strength leaving.

"You OK?" He asked concerned and then, at her affirmation, smiled "It looks like the caramel apples make not only your teeth ache!" he said pointing to the large bruise forming on Sydney's assailant's head.

Sydney just laughed relieved.
