Chapter 33 - Phantom Knight

Skyla Roshanne

"Catch her!" A fat and ugly man ordered his men to catch me.

Oh shit! As quickly as I could, I moved my body to run away from them. I don't know these men, I've just encountered them earlier when I decided to leave the orphanage to live on my own.

I am now 18 years old and I decided to leave the orphanage and go to college. I don't want to be stuck there forever. I was just passing by in a small alley, it was already 8pm and I am still looking for a cheap place to stay for the night.

While I passed by a small and dark alley, I saw a group of men, who seemed to be doing something bad. Due to my curiosity, I went silently to where they are, and I am hoping they'll not notice me, because I'm sure I will be a dead meat if that happens.

"N-no, please stop. L-let me g-go. I-I'm begging you. P-please." The girl pleaded. She really looks pitiful. And I am guessing these men are trying to do something terrible to her.

"Don't worry sweety, I'm sure you'll like it. Don't let her move boys." The fat man, which I think is their leader, answered her. Ewww so disgusting. And then I lose it. I hate seeing things like these.

"Hey you ugly bastards, let her go!" I butted in.

"Oh look what we got here boys, another fresh meat. This is our lucky day." That fat pig answered.

"Unlucky day, you mean." And then I immediately start fighting them. I learned taekwondo when I was in highschool, and I'm proud to say I am black belt holder. Good luck to these bastards (smirking).

The ugly bastards also fought back. I can say they also know how to fight, but too bad for them, I am better.

Once they are distracted with them, I signaled the girl from earlier to run. I saw she hesitated at first, but still do so. She looked at me one last glance, as if saying thank you, before she got out of my sight. I felt relieved knowing that she's safe now. Now let's get serious.

So that's basically what happened why I am currently being chased by these ugly bastards. Tss, so annoying.

"You can't hide away from us bitch. Now you're cornered." The fat pig mocked me. As if I'm scared. I won't give up without putting up a fight.

I am preparing myself to fight when suddenly a man in a mask appears out of nowhere.

Another enemy? I don't think so, because just a few seconds from the moment he appeared, he already managed to knock down the bastards who were after me.

I just watch him in the corner, I am in daze. Who is this man? He's like a phantom in the night. And him wearing a mask makes him more mysterious, and handsome. Wait, what I am thinking. Wake up Roshanne, this man could be an enemy.

I instantly became alert when I noticed him looking at me intently. His gaze is so intense, that I felt like melting. I shiver. I slowly walked backwards when he moved forward towards me, until I was cornered. I have no place to run to. I'm trapped. Oh fuck!

"Non dovresti essere qui, mio. (You should not be here, Mine.)" His deep voice rang into my ears. I could not understand what he said because it's a foreign language.

I just stared at him in daze. I want to remove his mask which is shining under the moonlight. I don't know where I got the courage, but I slowly reached his face so that I could remove his mask.

"Lil' sis, wake up now, please." I heard a pleading voice and that's when I woke up. It's brother Rein.

So, it's just a dream, but it really happened to me when I was 18.

Why did I dream about that incident? And who is that mask man who saved me back then?

"Finally lil' sis you're awake" I heard brother Reid shout before I was engulfed in a tight hug.

"Thank goodness baby you're awake." Big brother Reese said while hugging me. I can sense worry and relief in his tone.

I just smiled in return and hugged him back. But my thoughts were still on my dream.

"My Phantom Knight, who are you?"
