Chapter 12

Mina felt the dread run across her spine giving her an instant in which to react, she jumped back. The attacker made a grab for her jacket and she heard the tear of cloth as a piece ripped off in his hands.

“Little girl, you should know better than to traverse dark alley’s alone. Tch tch tch.” The familiar voice made Mina shudder in terror. How did he find her? It was the same man with the wolf tattoo who assaulted her behind the library. The man chuckled and sniffed the ripped piece of her jacket and began to rub it along his face as if learning her scent. His hands looked longer than humanly possible and his nails were dark and dirty.

“Leave or I’ll scream,” Mina threatened.

“I like it when they scream,” The wolf man countered taking another step toward her menacingly. Using his long fingernails he tore the piece of cloth easily like a knife through butter.

Mina bolted. Holding onto the notebook she ran like crazy down the alley, desperately hoping to make it to the road and people before he caught her. But speed was on her attacker’s side as she was jerked backward onto her back by the hood of her jacket, smacking her head against the pavement in the process.

Bright dots obscured Mina’s vision as the man made a grab for the notebook. She bit his hand and he roared, the notebook fell and was flung open. Mina tried to scream, but he lunged for her throat and began to squeeze.

“Please, somebody help me!” Mina yelled. The wolf man and was about to backhand her when a blurry form leapt toward him and knocked him off of her.

Coughing and scrambling away on her hands and knees Mina grabbed the notebook and tried to make a run for it. One part of her told her to forget it, flight over fight, save her own skin. But another part needed to look, needed to see who it was that was helping her. Craning her neck, Mina saw and gasped. It was a young boy, who couldn’t have been older than seventeen. How could she abandon him? Mina froze; she didn’t know how to help him. The boy was definitely overpowered and outweighed but he looked determined.

The attacker was using his long nails like a weapon, the boy was unarmed and they were circling each other warily. Wolf man lunged, the boy feinted to the right and sidestepped; turning he spun his body into the older stronger man and was able to land a side kick to his solar plexus. Grunting he lowered his head and pretended to lower his guard. The dark-haired boy ran and was going to kick him in the face but the man lunged forward, snapping his jaws very similar to a real wolf and knocked the boy down out of the air as if he was swatting a fly.

The boy landed on the ground and tried to roll but the wolf man was everywhere and soon the boy was trapped within reach of the man’s huge strong forearms.
