Before I could react, he lunged at me, a knife glinting in the moonlight. I crouched down instinctively, bracing for the impact.
(As if I don't have enough worries, now I'm in the brink of death again!)
"Scarlet!" Leo's voice cut through the night like a blade. I look up to see him standing a few feet away, his expression a mix of worry and determination.
(What is Mr. Murderer doing here?)
Even though I was more scared of seeing Leo than the ghost but to my relief at least he had a handsome face ahem...
The faceless man hesitated, giving Leo just enough time to close the distance between us. With a swift motion, Leo disarmed the attacker and sent him fleeing into the outer space as I stare in amusement.
(He just punched the dude and he went flying to moon, what the hell does he eat?)
"Are you alright?" Leo asked, his voice cold but his eyes betraying a hint of concern.
I nodded, still shaken by Leo or by the ugly dude.
