My name is Mimi Yu a normal first year college student. Despite being grown up I still like taking strolls most of the time until I find myself wandering into unknown places, sometimes rewarding and sometimes too shady to describe but by a mysterious lucky force my legs always led me safely out of it. This evening, I wonder why it doesn’t seem to be going well as usual.

To my right is a two-meter, buff-looking guy with a weird looking pipe. The exposed, shiny teeth made it look like it was laughing until you pay attention to the way he was handling the pipe with both his hands. “Oh my! Cutie. A new member, huh? You want my number?”. The guy on my left seemed more infuriated for some reason when he heard what he said. I couldn’t tell with the white helmet that covered his head. He was a little skinny but seemed more of a bike rider type of thug person. He clenched his fists and a chilling blue energy seemed to come from his hands. “Oh no!! My sister always tells me not to go to dark alleys every morning before I leave the house,” I really feel like crying right now but that would be pathetic. So, I will just shed my tears very quietly while I hold my voice back even a man has his pride.

In the next second, they were right in front of me. I opened my eyes wide open in shock. My mind went from “I’m scared mommy” to “This is aweso…” no I mean “This is not normal at all”. The clash between the glowing hands of the skinny guy and the buff guy in the middle shocked me out of my day-dream as I was pushed back against the wall by the shockwave. Several questions race through my head, to question my normal understanding of the world I’ve been living in up until now; Can a skinny person normally handle a fight like this? Wait, do normal people even have glowing hands? I would get it if it was glowing hair but glowing hands? I just felt like fainting at this point already, but I also knew that staying here would only lead to me being a part of history by tomorrow either way in this situation.

I moved my body trying to escape from my left side since there was a corner near there but in the next moment, I was looking at the floor and felt like I was breathing dust. I realized that I was suddenly on the floor when I tried to lift my head and there was someone above me. “Stay down unless you want to get your head turned to mush.” This voice of the person above was of a girl, and it felt familiar but distant at the same time. The hands pressing my head to the ground were very soft. I guess the skinny guy was a she? More importantly there was a vivid crack on the wall from where my head was.

I closed my eyes imagining myself being the hero rescuing the beauty when the next moment my so-called head was gone, then opened my eyes and looked up at her wanting to say something. My sight was met by a hand covered in a claw looking energy of some sort. I could tell that it was dangerous for me to step in any longer besides the girl didn’t seem to need any of my assistance in any way. I closed my eyes in consolation and smiled thinking “This is good, I don’t need to do anything at all”.

The next exchanges were too much for me to see them all. Eventually though the skinny girl won the battle, took the weird pipe wrench from the other muscular buff guy and while holding it in her hand turned her head around and looked at me. Then the next second the pipe she was holding disappeared after that glow appeared for about two seconds and then stopped. For some reason I felt like I was going to be held accountable, then it struck me, she might want to eliminate the witness involved. For the third time in my life, I felt a numbing chill in my whole body, it was fear. She started slowly walking towards me and stretched out her hand. I put on a serious face and looked at her with clear eyes then stayed quiet as I crossed my arms together.

“I was going to ask if you were alright, but I guess my concern was unnecessary”, she said as she retracted her hand and started walking away. I closed my eyes and stayed composed at that moment, and then I heard a falling thud sound opening my eyes I saw the girl had collapsed right in front of me. I really felt scared for a moment if this was a trick to blackmail me later and just felt like escaping, but also a feeling of guilt crept over me. And so with a brave heart I picked up the fainted masked damsel and graciously took her to my humble abode for safety, my rental room which was two blocks away. This was after I called an ambulance for the other buff guy since he looked so beat up.

As I lay her on the bed, I caught my breath and thank my luck that I wasn’t caught or suspected for human trafficking at this point. From the snoring I could tell that she was just seriously fatigued and will come around once she gets enough sleep, other than that my guest was a girl, so I felt that I should call a trusted female acquaintance, but that could be decided later since she wasn’t critically injured. I just ordered some delicious marinated chicken with some fries. I think I did wait a bit thinking that she would wake up so as we could eat together but no response for waking up. At this moment I just thought why not call my sister since I couldn’t finish the whole food set that I had then later have her take care of the girl at her house instead, and so I called her. My sister’s cellphone ringtone phone rang? … from the jacket of the girl who was lying on my bed.

I went over and checked the phone that was ringing from the girl’s end, and it really was my sister’s phone. I imagined several possibilities as to why she had my sister’s phone from worst to best and back to worst. “Maybe she’s my sister that’s why her voice sounded familiar? But I have to be sure”. Just hoping for the best, I tried to take of the mask, but it was surprisingly very attached to the face, so I left it alone after several attempts to get it off. I went to eat my dinner and just as I was about to think of what to do next someone knocked at my door. When I looked through the keyhole, I was terrified to see the police. I quickly put on my half-business and half-sleepy face and welcomed them inside offered them two of my seats.

“Mr. Yu we are here regarding the incident of the fainted injured man that you reported to us this evening, could you explain everything from your end?’. I quickly told them that I had gotten out for my evening stroll as I wanted to spend the evening having fun with my older sister, but my sister fainted due to lack of sleep for the last 2 days and when I was bringing her home to rest, I saw silhouette of a man in the alley and upon confirming that he was injured I quickly called an ambulance for the man before I left and brought my sister home.
