Then a bright flash of light that made her being up her shaking her arms to cover her face. Before she could progress what happened the man that was holding her did the same pop and flash routine. Her eyes were so wide as she screamed. Suddenly, she was in the arms of a man. A very large and powerful man and he was just staring at her. Holding her trembling body but her eyes glanced over to where the men were only to see another one of those pale men. "Oh god... another one!" She pushed at the man holding her.<br/><br/>Whoever he was, he just did something to those two men. They were just gone. No body. Just ash. Ash... She fought harder against the man holding her. How was he able to get rid of those men like that? She was all too scared and the fight or flight instinct took over. Her head was throbbing from the liquor and the hard backhand but she didn't care. She couldn't feel it as she had to get away.<br/><br/>She ripped out of his hold to take off running. Something told her that he would take care of the other man as she ran away. She wasn't sure how she knew that he would but she just did. He wouldn't let her get hurt. She ran as hard as her legs would take her out of the alley. Her eyes only glancing back over to the large man before continuing her run. She wouldn't stop until she was a block away from her apartment.<br/><br/>Small little clouds lifted into night air as she panted. What the hell just happened? She was sure she was about to be raped but that guy saved her ass. She wanted to care about he killed those guys but it was good those bastards were dead... or ash. She took a moment to collect herself and held onto the brick wall of a nearby building. Her adrenaline was quickly winding down so it was best to get inside. Just because she had some weird feeling that the guy that saved her would not her get hurt didn't mean he wouldn't come after her. He could just want her for himself.<br/><br/>The lights to her apartment building was a relief. She made her way toward the illumination with small but quick steps. Home was safety. She would going to have to start carrying a knife around. Like hell she wanted that shit to happen again. Her fingers reached into her pocket of her jacket and she closed eyes.<em>"Please... please... yes!"</em>For a moment, she feared her keys might have been lost. She pulled them out with a sigh as she opened her way into the building.<br/>
