'How did I end up running through dark Alleyways of London in middle of twilight and impending dark night?.'
It was the only thing Amaira could think off while running from a bunch of bulky men in order to save her never even started life.
If she wasn't tried to be adventurous,she would have been snuggling with her bed sheets in the comfort of her warm bedroom back in India, instead of running here in the streets of London in order to save her dear life.
If only she listened to her mother,
If only she took Maya's warnings on this cruel world more serious,
If only she didn't flee her home to come here to England,
If only Amaira didn't come here.
Do you think she regret this?.No she isn't a type regrets the choices she makes,not even at this point.Because her reason is something stronger and she is so determined towards it.
Amaira wanted to know what happened to her father,who she never seen all her life except the photos in her mother's hidden old diary,for which she often sneaks into her mother's room to get a view of the man who's eyes and smile made her feel like seeing her's own in the mirror.Seldom Amaira witnessed her mother holding those photos closer to the chest and cries to sleep.
It wasn't hard for her to know the man in that old worn out picture, hugging her pregnant mom with his eyes gleaming with happiness,while her mother was looking up at him with a loving smile, a smile she never seen on her mother's face through all these years of her life.
Amaira never seen or heard her mother mentioning of her dad all these years and when ever Amaira mention, her mother tend to become more cold than before.But she was aware that her mother don't hate her father,if it was hater,her mother would never let Amaira inherit her father's family name 'Lee'.But she never felt loved by her mother and in opinion of Amaira,her mother made her grow up inside a castle like prison with the help of maids and nannys.
Amaira's mother never been there for her daughter in the times her child needed her more.Amaira's mother always spend all her time in the laboratory present in the remote corner of their property.Amaira never really had an good relationship with her mother,who had the control of Amaira's 26 years of life in her finger tips.
Inspite of all, Amaira respected her mother's dedication towards her career.The only thing is,she never felt loved enough.There was never inadequacy of love from her mother, as in first place she never got any.The days she felt so lonely made her to think about her father and miss him more.Without Amaira's knowledge she grown attached to his thoughts.
Till the end of her highschool, Amaira was homeschooled and never been out of house more than a hour.After a lot of struggles her college life changed with the help of her Uncle Dev who was the only man her mother allowed around her and best friend of Amaira's mother.She was allowed to get into a college like every normal kid and that's where Amaira met an amazing soul named Maya aka May.
Maya was a coolest person that Amaira ever met. In her eyes, Maya aka May was so out going ,kind and importantly funny as ****.She was a person who gets into action to fullfill what ever her dreams are,instead of only dreaming.
But there were times when May tend to become loud bitch if any guy makes Amaira uncomfortable.But Amaira liked all of May and she like more of her best friend's carefree and adventurous nature,which drawn her closer to May more and more to the point they both become inseparable non biological twins of their university.
May was like a sister Amaira never had.May always put herself before Amaira and protect her.There were times she sneaks into Amaira's property,crossing all those tight security only to comfort Amaira from the heartbreak she face time to time thinking about her unloving mother and pointless life.
From the day May came into her life,Amaira could able to see a brighter side of everything.As if like a guardian angel from heavens,May was always stayed by Amaira's side.
May always been a big influence on Amaira,that made her dream bigger and made her become ambitious to become free by breaking all those confinements her mother put on her.
And in the end Amaira fleed the castle once where she lived all her life as her mother's puppet princess.She was well aware that living out of her castle will be hard and considering in new country, totally a No no,but still there was a hope in Amaira as this was the country her dad born and this was the country that she shares her blood ties with.
Thanks to May again for pushing her to make friends with her online friend, a guy who is more like a friendship rival to Amaira.
Though their friendship started on Amaira's jealousy, that guy's consistent bright and jovial aura that Amaira got to greeted with everytime through facetime by the force of Maya made her like him and accept him as her long distance friend.Not close as Maya but Amaira was sure that she had no reason to hate the ball of fluff named Jacob Wellington.
Soon as Amaira landed in London the first person she reached out was Jacob,who asked her to meet him around 8Pm in the bar *** restaurant, which is few streets away from the hotel she checked in that morning.
Amaira went early to meet the said guy who she don't know too well to think him as a loyal friend but Jacob never seemed like a bad person neither Maya mentioned anything weird about him and subconsciously she trusted Jacob.
But who ever guessed her troublesome *** to somehow mess up and get into a fight by punching a pervert for trying to touch her inappropriate,without the idea that he can easily out number her --how much she was good in fights-- with the bunch of guys backing up him.
If it was back in India, Amaira would have never hesitate to get into a fight,just to see that pissed off expression in her mother's face,but magically Amaira's mother never got angry or locked her up for beating the guys tried to get near her.It was too much weirder to see her mother not punishing her so she wouldn't do that again.
A weird woman.
Okay let's come back to the current situation,Getting involved in fights at a public places like bars might sure end Amaira in a police case which will serve as big lead for her mother to bring her back to India sooner with the help of her country embassy as Amaira's mother was a well respected scientist across their country, though she retired in eyes of people,but Amaira knows better.
Amaira fleed to this country, hiding every lead of her destination.She was well aware, in no time her mother will trace her location of flee and bring her *** back to home,but Amaira wanted the time her mother would become aware of her flee and destination to be little delayed,so in the meantime she might or atleast try to find any leads about her missing dad -with only info of her father name 'Adam Lee'- and to live a carefree life she once wanted to live before again being thrown and confined in that fancy prison that would make her a puppet princess.
That's why she was running in a hope that to magically get away from this bunch of thug looking guys without a fight.
Like the magic she wished to see,there she saw a bright buzzling street at the end of the alleyway that she have being chased for last 10 minutes.
That stree was only few 10 meters away from were she was running, if she succeed on reaching the street it will be easy for her to mingle with the crowd and escape from the bunch of guys that tirelessly chasing after her.
Like how the light of hope came, it vanished as soon as she felt a hand grabbing the hood of her hoodie and next thing she know is being yanked back in darkness.The force applied on yanking her back made the back of her body to collide hard against a strong stone wall and to miserably plop on the ground.
It was great impact on Amaira's restless mind and body to progress what's happening or to counter attack.She could feel the bright lights at the end of the dark alleyway from where she could hear people from the bright bustling street was,but she felt too numb to process that a dark figure crouching before her with a sickening smirk.
That guy took barely conscious Amaira's chin in his rough hands and leaned his head near her neck.Amaira could hear him sniff like a dog and lean his head more into her neck.
"Though you are a feisty little bitch that punched me,you smell too different and too sweet to let you go just teaching a lesson",
It was the pervert who tried to touch her inappropriately and got a punch from her.
He was practically groped her helplessly stiffen body covered in a hoodie and jeans, but her mind was widen awake to hear and see what's happening to her.She heard few more voices encouraging to what the pervert was doing to her.
Amaira felt too helpless and ashamed of her state,tears prickled in the edge of her eyes.She held back those tears not wanting to cry,because she know crying in this situation is helpless.How much she learn to protect herself,she was still a baby before this cruel world like her mother once said to her in an argument.
She finally understood what this world is,it is world that would be ready to engulf you whole, once you are little weak.
She never believed in God,but that time she prayed to anyone out there to send someone to save her from dying miserably.She never wanted to die this way.She felt bad for leaving home without telling anyone.One last time she wished someone to save her from this nightmare.
"How daring you guys are to do something like this in my home territory?",
As if her prayers being answer a dark voice boomed through the dark,lifeless alleyway they all are in.
Amaira could feel the guy groping her a second ago become all frozen from his action.
The dark chuckling and laughter from a minute ago was all replaced with an eerier silence.Only heavy clack of a pair boots is the only sound in the alleyway.
With on swift move Amaira saw the guy who was been hovering over her,fell on the ground hitting the wall opposite to Her.In fear of witnessing something inhuman,Amaira gained a little strength to look up to see the back of a mysterious man wearing all black from his head to toe.
"If you dared to do something like this, means you ready to die,huh?",
The new guy in black questioned the group of men who are looked terrified of this man.
"We are extremely sorry for what we were about to do True blood,but Please spare us and we will never do something like this again",
All the guys including the guy molesting Amaira was on floor begging for the forgiveness from the new guy address as 'Trueblood'.
Amaira was too busy with her ringing ears to find the title weird.
"There is no forgiveness for the crime you did and about to do",
Tsking at the bunch of guy on the ground, the said True blood turned towards Amaira who was on the ground,been staring at nothing but emptiness.
She slowly looked up to match his gaze.Even in this situation a surprised gasp escaped her lips once her eyes took the face of the mysterious man that saved her and her dignity.
She couldn't look away from his eyes,like she was tied to it.His eyes were too sharp,cold and still there was a trace of warmth in depths of those pair of brown abyss.
But without her knowledge her eyes moved on the scar over his left eye.
Is she scared of his scar?
No.
Did she felt disgusted because of that scar?
No.
To be honest she was too fascinated by all his whole.
In total the said True blood looked as if like a painting came into life,That guy looked so ethereal that Amaira didn't notice him waving his hands before her face to gain attention.
"Miss you okay?"
She didn't answer.Instead she reached out to gently caresse the scar over his left eye.
"Beautiful"
Was all Amaira could say before the dying effect of adrenaline and exhaustion dragged her into an heavy slumber.
