Chereads / Amber's Hidden Darkness / Chapter 11 - Stranger

Chapter 11 - Stranger

The next day Amber got up for school and started getting ready. Then she thought 'Since I don't have my license I will walk to school.' I started walking to school and as I walked past the dark alley I had an ominous feeling

I stared at it contemplating whether I should pay more attention or not and as I closed my eyes to sharpen my ears

I heard a person talking and his voice sounded really hoarse so I peaked in the Alley and saw a few men surrounding a guy about my age who looked battered up.

'He is defenseless and they are picking on him. Why is humanity so cruel sometimes? But yet at the same time we could either make the world better or completely destroy it when our greed for money and power get in the way.

Tsk, What a despicable species we are.' Amber ended her thought knowing all to well how cruel life could be to the ones who have nothing.

Amber had enough of it letting her emotions get in the way she decided to step not being able to stand seeing someone get hurt like she did.

"HEY!" She shouted and they all looked at her, then she continued "Stop ganging up on him, are you that weak that you can't beat him up by yourself?"

The boss at the front got became angry at the disturbance the voice caused in what he was doing.

"Little girl you better leave and pretend like you haven't seen anything or…" The boss's voice trailed off as soon as his eyes landed on her body looking up and down nodding in approval and then he continued.

"You can stay here and play with us?" He then started walking towards her, his eyes filled to the rim with lust. Amber looked at him, her eyes brimming with disgust.

'All men are the same. Some are just better at hiding their true nature.'

"I'm sorry" Amber said trying to hide the disgusting feeling she is getting from him. He looked at her his eyes twinkling with desire at how stunning she was.

"What are you sorry for, beautiful?"

"That I can't play with you."

"Why not? We will show you a fun time"

"I don't like to play with ugly people that are so hideous they make me want to barf"

When the guy on the ground heard what she said he couldn't help but chuckle softly making him look handsome.

Amber finally looked at the guy on the ground and her eyes widened at how stunning he was. Pale skin, thin Red lips, Chiseled jaw, Black hair that shined brightly under the glare of the sun,

Black Obsidian eyes that when you stared at them it felt like a black hole sucking you in getting lost with no way out but you wanted to stay trapped in them forever wanting to learn its secrets,

Slender, yet firm frame that looked strong and when his tense muscles flexed underneath his tight-fitting shirt, you can't help but blush and feel shy,

'I wonder why he isn't fighting back, he looks strong enough?' Amber thought but put it to the back of her mind when she saw the boss of the thugs charge at her because of her words from earlier.

"Well Shit, Please don't hit my face it's my most precious th- I mean Oh no I'm going to be hit' Amber's last sentence in her thought was laced with sarcasm.

Amber didn't have enough time to react so she knew she would have to suffer for her mistake. Amber closed her eyes and braced herself ready for the blow, but it never came.

Slowly Amber opened her eyes, then widened them. Someone's wide and sturdy back was in front of her. She saw that it was the guy that was on the ground before.

'I guess he could fight back but he chose not to. Hmm, I wonder why he decided to protect me?'

The handsome guy looked at her and said in a deep and seductive voice that would melt even the cruelest Women's heart.

"You should run, I don't want you to get hurt"

"No, I can take care of myself, but thank you, Sir.." She said waiting for him to give his name, he smiled and said,

"You can call me.." he paused then continued with a devilish smile playing on his lips "Handsome" Amber couldn't help but smile and chuckle saying to him,

"Well Handsome, you can call me" Amber chuckled lowly then an evil idea got into her head, her eyes twinkling while she got on her toes asking him to bend down than whispering in his ear.

"Gorgeous. Don't forget, Handsome." She finished saying going to stand beside him while the Handsome stranger itched the ear she just whispered into still feeling the sensation of her hot breath fanning his ear, His ear turning a little red.

Amber then looked at the thugs and said let's deal with these guys first. Amber and The Handsome Stranger called the police after tying them up.

Amber then sent the handsome stranger to the hospital because of his injuries. 'I hope he will be okay' She thought while talking to him by the ambulance.

"I guess goodbye Handsome, I hope you're fine." Amber said her goodbye to him then he asked her a question.

"Want to tell me your name, Gorgeous? I will come find you and pay you back for helping me otherwise I wouldn't be here right now," He said with a serious look on his stunning face.

At first Amber was shocked then she smiled really brightly at him showing both dimples on her face. Amber answered, saying in a sweet tone.

"I don't need you to pay me back. I just hope if we ever meet again it's under better circumstances" Amber said then she looked at the clock.

"I'm sorry I have to go or I will be late for my favorite class! Goodbye Handsome!" Amber said then bolted so she could be on time for her favorite class.

"WAIT! LET ME TELL YOU MY NAME. IT'S AL.." He tried to tell her but stopped when he saw that she couldn't hear him anymore.

The handsome stranger then looked down feeling disappointed and sad that her presence was gone, missing the beautiful girl who name he didn't even know, only her stunning smile, which shined brighter than the sun.

"I vow to find you one of these days, Gorgeous,"

The Handsome stranger said his vow the image of a beautiful girl with eyes purple eyes that shined brightly but held a darkness deep within but she could still look like she has hope.

The stranger entered the ambulance and went to the hospital to see if he had any internal injuries.

The stranger had none and left the hospital a week later when all his external injuries were fully healed.

The day Amber left the Handsome stranger alone and arrived at school in time for her Seventh-Period class. Shawn was extremely worried about Amber. He finally let out a breath of relief when he saw her come inside the class.

That breath didn't last for long when he saw that she was limping a little bit and her clothes were dirty. Shawn decided to ask her what happened when class ended.

For the whole class, Amber couldn't pay attention to what the teacher was saying because she felt Shawns burning gaze on her back.

'What! Does he want to scold me more, I'm still pissed at him! I will just avoid him and that will solve my problems until he can learn what he said really hurts.'

As soon as the bell rang Amber bolted out of the classroom so fast that Shawn didn't even have the chance to stand up from his seat before he saw she was gone.

Shawn looked really irritated when he saw the stunt she pulled because he had been really worried, and wanted to see if she was okay.

'I just want to know if she is okay. Will she ever forgive me? Or is her pride more important then me, her best friend? Am I that worthless in her eyes?'

Shawn thought becoming depressed at the feeling of not even being put in the eyes for a second of the girl he has had a crush on forever.

After her Seventh-Period class, Amber decided it was best to ditch. 'I haven't read for a while, and I should see how that Handsome stranger is doing' Amber thought, deciding to check on him.

That day Amber went to the hospital and found out that he was perfectly fine. He just needs to stay there till his injuries are fully healed. Which will take at least a week.

Amber let out a breath of relief knowing that he was okay and decided to leave. Amber felt a little better knowing she arrived in time before anything serious could have happened to such a hot person.

'It would have been horrible if his sexy face was disfigured, if that happened to me I would have been better off dead.

Without this beautiful face I don't have anything' Amber thought becoming terrified that something might happen to her precious face.

Because Amber was walking lost in her thoughts she accidentally bumped into what felt like a warm wall.

When she woke up from her thoughts she saw that she accidentally bumped into someone and immediately apologized without looking at their face.

As soon as she got done apologizing she got ready to run away when suddenly her wrist was pulled making her fall into the stranger's embrace.

'W-Who is this? W-What do they want with m-me?' Amber started becoming nervous, scared that this stranger will hurt her for doing the wrong thing.

'Im safe it's not like before' Amber thought again her head becoming clear knowing that nothing bad will happen and that she won't be easily hurt this time.

Yet she couldn't stop the constant trembling she was doing. She knew she was terrified of what might happen but she tried to not notice it was there.

Amber finally decided to run since they don't know who she is. If only her legs would stop shaking and work, but she was trapped.
