Ethan was on his way home after a long day at work. Today had been a good day. Not because he had made good tips today but because Ellie had shown a semblance of interest in him. He had been smiling goofily for the remainder of his shift after he had spoken to Ellie. During his time at work he had run through about a hundred different scenarios where he had either saved Ellie from a gang of beasts or from a burning building. Some of these scenarios ending with him and Ellie tying the knot in a church whiles others ended with him on the verge of death after sacrificing his own life for Ellie's and Ellie professing her undying love for him amidst tears. This thoughts had only made his smile grow bigger and bigger until he was looking like pennywise the dancing clown. Jerry had even asked him if he wanted some paint to finish the look. When he answered no, Jerry had asked him to tone down the creepy smile in an annoyed tone.
"Aah... Ellie", he sighed out her name as her image popped into his head. 'i wonder just how our children will look like' , Ethan thought shamelessly. He was still lost in his thoughts as he made his way home. Jaem had already left him at the previous street so he was alone. Bag hanging by his side and arms stuffed deep in his pockets, Ethan made his way home. He was just about to cross the road unto the last street that led to his house when he heard the call. "Help!, Somebody help me!!!". Ethan stopped in his tracks as he heard this. The voice was definitely male, and from how high it was Ethan was sure it wasn't far from where he currently stood Infront of a closed bookshop. He checked the time on his wrist watch. 10:15pm,the time read. It was late and the street was almost deserted. Ethan wasn't a superhero who went round saving people in distress. He was sure help would soon arrive anyway. It was time to go home. "Help !!, Rape !". 'Rape?, A guy is crying out for help because he's about to be raped?,damn, I gotta see this. I never even knew females could rape males. How does that even work?, Or am I mistaken?, It could be a male about to penetrate that poor guy's bum-hole. No wonder he's so frightened. All the same,I gotta check this out. I may not get any chance like this again.'.
Ethan dashed ahead to where he had last heard the voice coming from. "Anybody!, Please !!". Yep, Ethan was on the right path. The voice was coming from in between two story buildings. Ethan dashed into the alley without hesitation and stopped short at what was playing out Infront of him. A girl had pinned a boy on the concrete floor and was trying with all her might to kiss him. She was even growling whiles grinding all over his crotch. Ethan rubbed his eyes just to be sure his eyes weren't playing tricks on him. The couple were still there. The boy was struggling to keep the girl's mouth away from his face. The girl on the other hand wasn't giving up. She was growling like a wild animal on heat. "Damn..that must be one horny girl", Ethan said in disbelief. Why didn't he get girls like this?, He asked himself.
"Please get her off me. Please!", The boy begged Ethan. "Get her off?,what do you mean man?,just go with the flow. Stop acting like she got rabies or something. She looks beautiful enough." Ethan answered with a tinge of jealousy. This guy was soo lucky. "Get her off me weirdo!, Can't you see she's trying to bite me?!!" The boy shouted angrily. "Yes I can see she's trying to bite you, but you see,that's what people do when the... MEGAN!!!" Ethan shouted as he saw the person who was straddling the boy's waist on the floor. It was no doubt Megan but she looked different. She looked almost bestial with her behavior. The drool coming out of her mouth plus the growls emanating from her throat didn't help matters. "What in the sweet mother of Pontius pilate are you doing here? Why are u trying to bite this guy here?" Ethan asked as he moved forward towards her with his hand outstretched. Immediately he got in range the girl lunged at him with her hands outstretched like claws. She came at him like a rock from a slingshot but Ethan was fast as well. He quickly swerved to the side just in time as her nails reached his face. He saw Megan's now claw-like nails pass through the space were his face was just a second ago with a whoosh. Megan was wide open for an attack since she had put all her strength in that attack and was now unbalanced on her feet. Ethan didn't waste the opportunity and threw a heavy right hook to her exposed belly. Ethan wasn't foolish. He could tell Megan wasn't herself. He wouldn't let her hurt him when he could defend himself. Fuck being a gentleman. He would hit anyone who tried to hurt him. He would say sorry to Megan later when she was herself He felt his hand dig into her belly as the punch landed. Ethan was expecting Megan to be on the floor rolling about in pain but Megan was still standing, seemingly unfazed by Ethan's punch. Ethan was stunned. What the hell was going on here?
Just how strong was Megan to eat a full body punch from him like that. Megan then made to jump Ethan like she had done the other boy,but before she could jump any higher from where she was,a hand yanked one of her foot from under her and a sickening thud was Heard as she fell hard face-first. The boy from earlier quickly jumped on her bare back and pinned her hands on the floor above her head. "Hey, hit her head with something heavy!!", The boy told Ethan. "Why would I do that?, I know her", Ethan asked in shock. "To knock her out dumbass. Since we can't kill her, we have to knock her out. Now grab me something heavy before I lose my grip on her!",the boy shouted. Ethan looked around him. There was nothing heavy where they were. Just how was he supposed to get something heavy here. Then just as he was about to say there was nothing here,he spotted a brick lying in the far corner,half concealed by a newspaper. He quickly went to grab it and carried it to the boy." Drop it by my feet and grab hold of her hand. Hold on tight. She's strong." The boy cautioned as he let go of the girl's arms. Ethan quickly grabbed hold of them and by jove,was Megan strong. Ethan had to use all his strength to pin her arms down. Even whiles bloodied from the heavy fall, Megan was still growling and attempting to bite Ethan. Maybe he could finally get her to give him some answers now.
"Megan..." BASH! Megan's head dropped unto the concrete wall and she stopped moving. "Hey! That was too hard!" Ethan protested loudly. "I'm sorry. I had to make sure I did it right.i didn't want to keep bashing her head in with the brick",the boy answered unapologetically. Ethan only sighed as he heard this. Something was telling him the boy enjoyed bashing Megan's head in with that brick but now wasn't the time to point fingers. " So,what are we gonna do now?, I mean with her?", Ethan asked. "Simple,call the police." The boy answered."I don't have a phone", Ethan informed him. " Fine, I will call. We will have to stay here until the cops arrive though". "I'm sorry but I can't. I'm on my way home from work,I'm already super late. My mom must be going crazy with worry right now. I'm sorry but I gotta leave." Ethan told the boy. "No problem, you can go. I'll stay here with her. If she wakes before the cops arrive,I'll just run." The boy answered. "Thank you????", Ethan gave the boy a questioning look. "Jake. Jake Meyes" the boy answered with a smile. " Thank you Jake. You can call me Ethan", Ethan told the boy as he backed away from the alley. "See you around Ethan", the boy answered. Ethan gave him a thumb up as he picked up speed. He felt a little bad leaving Megan with a stranger but he had no qualms about his actions since if it came to choosing between his mother's safety and Megan's, he knew he would choose his mother a thousand times over. 'hope you're safe mother'. Ethan thought as he ran full speed in the direction of his house.
