Sorry it took me so long to update, as I have had a very busy and stressful year at school. There have been some changes, but not very big ones, in the previous chapters, as I was not satisfied with them when I got into the story again. Also thank you to the people that have reviewed and sorry again that you had to wait for this chapter, even though it is short one.
Chapter 8
Calming herself once again Holly wiped the remaining tears away from her face on the sleeve of Duiiza's shirt.
Turles watched softly and waiting for her.
Beginning to walk back into the shop again, she was jerked back by Turles.
"Don't ever speak to me in that way again and defiantly not in public," he said firmly shaking her gently.
She nodded numbly before he would let her go and continued back into the shop, where the eager assistant still awaited them.
An hour later they emerged with bags full of clothes.
Some were clothes that Holly had wanted others that Turles liked.
Walking close to Turles' side they wandered past the shops looking in the windows.
She suddenly wandered off a few feet from Turles to look more closely at some shop before noticing she couldn't see Turles anywhere.
'This is not good, no Turles means no protection from those leaches that were eyeing me up earlier'.
Pushing her way through the crowd she tried to spot Turles, but was unable to as most of the crowd were well over her 5'2" frame.
Within a few minutes she felt the disastrous consequences of loosing tall, dark and vicious, as the crowds began to crush her.
Fighting her way thought them she escaped in to a small alleyway, and wandered down it.
In another few minutes she was even more lost then before not even her photographic memory was helping.
'Note to self, do not wander away from exceedingly annoying pirates that have done little to you, and especially don't go down stage, scary alleyways when lost. Or you will have to live with the consequences', she added fearfully as she heard something move behind her.
Growling andbaring her teeth, she went intoa defensive position, with fists raised and tail lashing menacingly behind her, looking more like a wild animal than a person.
A man appeared around the corner, as he got closer she recognised him as the man that was following her earlier.
It all became clear as his leering face came nearer, he had never given up on getting her, and he just waited for her to get separated from Turles.
Holly was beginning to miss Turles and his cocky attitude, even he was better to this lunatic.
The man made a lunge at her; Holly dodged and pummelled her dainty fists into his unprotected back.
Recovering quickly he made another attempt to get a hold of her and succeeded as she stumbled on some garbage she had not seen.
He was stronger than her and had a vice like hold upon her body and over her mouth.
Holly eyes widened in pure terror and screamed out a muffled call for help, but it was no use the man only tightened his hold her and hauled her down the street.
Holly groaned.
'Not again, what is with getting kidnapped and me! Twice within a week, now this is embarrassing!'
