delicious.”
    Emily once again spun around, only this time
she was struck in the face. She hit the floor, dazed and
bewildered. Blood streamed down Emily’s face from a gushing cut on
her lip.
    The other attacker was a disgusting mess of a
man, out of shape, and nearing morbidly obese proportions. He had
slicked black hair, and a bushy beard. Clearly he couldn’t get laid
inside, and Emily feared that he was going to try his luck outside.
He too, had the same blood red eyes as Jacob. Whatever drugs they
were on, Emily wasn’t carrying.
    “It’s a pity, George,” said Jacob, walking
towards Emily. “She would have made a fine dinner.”
    “W—what do you want?” asked Emily, as Jacob
lifted her off the ground. “I don’t have any drugs.”
    “Honey, you don’t have the drugs we’re
looking for,” smirked Jacob, lifting Emily up by the neck. “No, you’re exactly what we’ve been looking for.”

Chapter Two

    Emily was beaten and afraid. She tried to
scream out, but Jacob’s filthy hands were wrapped firmly around her
throat. She was helpless, and unable to defend herself.
    “What’s that?” George asked, licking his
lips. “I think she’s trying to cry out for help, Jacob.”
    “You know, I think you’re right,” said Jacob,
loosening his grip just a little. “Well girl, what have you to say
for yourself?”
    “I—I don’t know why you are doing this!”
Emily cried. “Please don’t hurt me.”
    “Oh, we’re going to hurt you alright,” George
replied. “And we’re going to have fun doing it—.”
    Suddenly, George’s large, bulbous body was
sent crashing into the wall. The mysterious stranger from the bar
had arrived.
    “What the hell?” Jacob asked, turning his
head. “Who the fuck are you?”
    Jacob released Emily, who tumbled to the
floor, exhausted and out of breath. Jacob turned towards the
mysterious man, and took a defensive position between his victim
and himself. Clenching his fists, Jacob made sure the man knew he
wasn’t going to back down.
    “You don’t know who you are screwing with,
buddy,” said Jacob, marching towards the mysterious man. “I’m going
to mess you up.”
    Jacob threw a fist at the stranger, which he
easily avoided. The mysterious man moved deftly, and sent Jacob
soaring into the wall with a swift palm of the sternum.
    Emily could barely believe her eyes, as the
man moved with super-human speed. Unable to comprehend any of this,
Emily thought she was more injured then she previously
believed.
    George had managed to pick himself up, and he
lumbered towards the stranger. Something must have startled him,
however, as he quickly changed his mind, and began to run in the
opposite direction.
    “Hey, wait for me!” shouted Jacob, stumbling
to his feet. “You fucking coward, wait for me!”
    The stranger knelt down beside Emily, and
lifted her head from the pavement. Looking into her eyes, he said,
“You are safe now; those men will bother you no more.”
    “Who are you?” Emily asked, still in shock
and unsure of what she just witnessed.
    “My name is Alexander Franson,” said the man.
“But you may call me Xander.”
    “T—thank you, Xander,” said Emily, beginning
to lose consciousness. “You’re my hero.”
    Emily’s eyes rolled back in her head, as she
drifted away.
    Xander took a moment to look over Emily. She
was a beautiful creature, soft and innocent. She smelled divine,
Xander thought, as he laid Emily down on the pavement. He could
hear some people coming, and did not wish to be seen.
    The bar’s backdoor exit opened, and Emily’s
friends poured outside, sending the loud music out into the
alleyway. Looking up, Xander vanished in the blink of an eye.
    “Where are you, Emily?” asked Steven,
searching for his sister.
    “Are you here?” Julia inquired, walking down
the alleyway. “Oh my god; guys look over here!”
    Julia rushed towards Emily, and kneeled down
beside her.
    “What the hell?” Tyler asked. “How could
