Walking down the highway alone, she tightened her arms against herself. This night was unusually cold compared to other nights.
As she continued walking, she would turn to see if there was any cab approaching so that she could ask for a lift but none was forthcoming.
She groaned in despair. Just why did Mrs. Josh have to send her out, she was sure it was because she hated Maisie.
She didn't like that her daughter was associating with a girl from a lower class, and cursed at that. Mrs. Josh simply hated peasants, and she could wear gloves when she would collect something from them.
She didn't want their bad luck to hold unto her.
After taking several steps, Maisie halted when she smelled cigarettes in the air. She frowned as she turned to look at who was smoking at night like this.
A gasp erupted from her mouth when she saw Connor standing in front of her, this bastard had followed her. How did he even know that she was thrown out? Except if he had waited for her. He was quite ambitious.
On his left and right stood his friends. And they snickered at her.
"Happy to see me?" The corner of his lips twisted into a daunting smirk at the horrified look on her face. She definitely didn't expect to see him here.
Maisie gulped saliva down her throat nervously. Her eyes went moving from the boy to his friends, she was thinking about how to escape. "Of course not," She said, hearing the fear in her voice.
"I'll report to the school authorities that you are stalking a student, back off now" She warned while stepping to the back bit by bit.
He tossed the cigarette to the ground and extinguished it with his foot. He then faced her and blew the smoke right on her face, Maisie coughed as she used her hand to blow the bad smell away from her.
Connor was pissed, this girl infuriated the hell out of him and he couldn't wait to land his hands on her. He had noticed her attempt to run away by shifting backward bit by bit but he wasn't going to allow this little one to escape. She had to show him her kung fu skills today before he would let her be, she had the nerve to throw him down in school, right?
His friends moved to the back to stop her from running away, as signaled by Connor. "Report me?" He went back to her question, "Would you be alive to do that?" He inquired with a bored look on his face. To think that she could escape today, she was quite foolish. He wouldn't let her leave without getting hurt, or beaten close to death.
Maisie was about to retort when she felt the boys grabbed her arms from either side. "You can't do this Connor, let go of me" She shouted at him.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't scared, she was and it was visible on her face. "Are you going to fart now?" He continued taunting her, as he hadn't forgotten that this one here was a precious one. Farting whenever she got angry! How ridiculous!
The boys burst out in laughter. Even Connor did the same. Seeing the smile on his face, Maisie was annoyed, however, she did not fart in their presence, she wasn't angry enough to fart.
The laughter died down and he continued, "You are very pretty" He whispered out of nowhere. "It would be bad if I don't have you right now and right here"
Maisie shrieked, trying to free herself from the boys but they had her bound in place, with their tight grip on her, she was no match for them. She tried using her leg but Connor caught it just in time, he raised it, trying to see what was beneath her skirt.
"Stop" He heard Maisie's weak voice and he looked up to see her almost crying, tears had gathered in her eyes and they were now streaming down her cheeks.
He dropped her leg and inched closer to her, "Never knew you were this weak. You threw me on the ground the other day. What makes you think that I'll not go after you? What makes you think that I'll stop right now?" He chuckled devilishly. The tears in her eyes caused him to laugh louder.
"They'll be holding the camera for me" He pointed at his friends who already set the phone camera to video everything. "Now everyone is going to know the kind of bitch you are" He laughed once again.
While Maisie cried louder, she wished that someone would just appear and save her from these boys.
"Scissors" He demanded. One of his friends came over to hand him the scissors.
"I'll be starting from here" Connor squatted down to the ground and positioned the scissor below her skirt and he attempted to cut it.
Unfortunately for him, Someone appeared from nowhere and grabbed him from behind, Connor was lifted from the ground and thrown away with ease by the person. Maisie's eyes saw that his head hit the building at the far end and he dropped down unconscious.
The boys who held her pushed her down to deal with the useless person that came out of nowhere, but they were beaten up mercilessly, they could hardly see their target because invisible stars adorned their eyes.
They took to their heels, but Connor came back.
Seems like he was just recovering and wasn't unconscious at all. Maisie's eyes darted to his hand to see the pair of scissors, he wanted to hurt the man with it, and she yelled. "Watch out," She said to the person.
Her eyes widened the next second because the person wasn't hurt. Instead, Connor's hand was separated from his body. The man had twisted it harshly and the arm came out on his hand with blood dripping down. Connor passed out at the sight, and it was for real this time.
Her savior had tossed the arm away like it was nothing. His piercing gold eyes came to settle upon her, "W--ho are you?" He heard the trembling voice of the girl on the ground.
He tilted his head, "Someone you should be terrified of" His baritone voice reached her ears and her widened eyes remained that way as she watched him, unmoving.
