Reversed - Chapter 2
So I was just gonna post this small first chapter and wait for reviews but I just couldn't stop writing and since a few people showed interest I thought I might as well give you guys a little bit more to catch your interest. The first chapters will have a lot of background history as I intend to chance the story a little bit more than you have seen. So the action will come in little peaces at first. I might change my mind though as I am still figuring out where I am heading with this and this is actually my first fanfiction. Glad some people liked it!
Just as one of the men wanted to punch him, I got between them, lifted the stranger and climbed up a fire escape nearby. I left him up there and returned to the creeps.
'Let's play, boys,' I told them. One tried to attack me. I broke his arm with one single move. The others were already running and the injured one tried to follow. That's when I looked up to the man. He was shocked-and absolutely handsome.
'Are you alright?' I asked him.
'Y-yeah,' he tried.
'Good,' I said already walking away.
'Wait!' he shouted. But I was already lost in the shadows.
I had to talk to JT. Four men had seen my strength. We were in danger.
Nevertheless I couldn't make myself leave. This brave man was under shock. I wanted to make sure he would make it home safely. It took him ages to calm down and go home. I followed until he reached his destination. Just before walking in, he glanced right in my direction and sighed. I smiled and walked home.
'WHAT?!' he was furious, 'You did WHAT?'
'I had no choice! They would have killed him because of me! Is that what you would have wanted?' I tried to reason with him.
'How about leave? They didn't want him!'
'It was too late for that and you know it! JT we are talking about perverts for God's sake!' I raised my voice.
'And now?' he sighed.
'We wait,' I said, my mind already drifting to the handsome stranger, who had the courage to step up for me. He impressed me, a kind of rare behavior nowadays. Not that I needed protection. It was still flattering though. I remembered his features. Even stroke with fear, his face was perfect. I thought about how close he was too me when I saved him and my heart accelerated.
'Oh no! Don't you even think about it,' JT brought me back to reality.
'I don't know what you are talking about,' I said defensively.
'Quit the bullshit. I know that look. You fancy the little knight, don't you ? That's why you risked everything.'
'I would have saved an old fat woman if she was in the same situation, you know that!' I complained.
'Well you never denied that you like him though,' he grinned.
'Alright, you caught me. What can I say JT it's been a while. And he sure is my type,' I sighed
'Cat, I know you've been lonely when it comes to this, but remember what you are capable of. You don't want to hurt him right? Like last time…or the times before,' he said trying not to sound critical.
'Trust me JT, I know. I am sorry for those men, especially for the last one. You know it was an accident, right? I have quit being a monster, that doesn't care what happens to others as long as it gets what it wants,' I sighed again.
'Cat, I know. But that doesn't change the fact that you could still hurt him, even if you don't want to. You did with Evan, luckily he didn't expose us,' he reminded me.
Evan…I was so sorry about Evan. I really liked him. It had never been my intention to hurt him. But I still did and I couldn't change that. I didn't want the same for the handsome, courageous stranger. But something in me told me, that this still wouldn't stop me from visiting him again, even if he would never find out. I just had to see him, make sure he was alright and appreciate him in daylight. JT would probably kill me for these thoughts, but I just couldn't help it. I had a feeling that this man would be my nemesis even if I barely knew him.
Stranger's point of view:
I was sitting on my couch in my living room. While walking home I felt like somebody was following me. But every time I looked back there was nobody. Before entering the building I looked one last time and asked myself if I would see her again. 'Someday,' I thought to myself smiling and went in. Now, I wasn't quite sure, but I really hoped it. When she held me- I still don't know how she did it, she was so small- but she did and I felt something completely strange. Yes, I would see her again- no matter how long I would have to search for her. I needed some answers. I needed her to tell me that I am not crazy. And I needed to see her beautiful face again. With these thoughts I fell asleep dreaming of a dark haired angel that watched over me.
