Black And White Days

Chapter 2

I jumped out of the window and started running, scanning the alleys.
After a few minutes something caught my eye.

A women was in trouble.

A jumped down and landed behind the men, he was holding a knife, tried to rob the lady. When he noticed that I was behing him, he turned to me right away and tried to attack me. I dodged and kicked his leg, to make him fall. He get up fast and jumped away from me.

"Get away kid or you'II get hurt"

I ignored his yelling and started scanning the lady for any injures, thankfully I didn't saw anything other than a few new bruises. The skinny men noticed that I didn't really moved away, so he started running at me with his knife. I dodged it again, he wasnt really talented at this. I kicked and puched him in the face, he stayed down. I took the bag from him and handed it to the lady. She was scared and bleeding a little. I bandaged her injured arm after that.

"t-Thank you so much for your help!"
"Your welcome, i'm glad I could help"
"Please, let me to compensate it for you with something..-"
"Thank you, but I don't need anything"
"No- please, take this"

She handed me a few dollars, I didn't really saw how much it was.

"Im sorry, I cant take it."
then she looked behind me with a terrified face, a moved fast and looked at what she was looking at....

I didn't saw anything??
"Im sorry Miss, what are you looki-"
When I turned back I realized that she wasnt there..

but a few dollars were..

IT WAS 100 DOLLARS

I was totally shocked, but I couldnt find the lady that run away.
I taked the money on my pocket, feeling a little bit quilty.
I went back to the unconscious man, and tied him up.

When I wanted to leave with him, to get him to the police, he woke up.
He started panicking and crying

"Hey man, i'm sorry but i have to get you there, I don't want you to hurt others"
He started sobbing harder and said that he's sorry, too many times for me to tell.

"I underst-stand that you h-have to do that, I-Im sorry I just wanted to get money so my kids can eat a-and have f-un.. i'm so sorry I didn't wanted to hurt anyone"

That explains why is he a little skinny, and slow. These tears.. are real, I can see the pain in his eyes..

After a few minutes i cut the rope, and he falled down in front of me.

"Here." - I handed him 100 dollars
"Not much, but I hope I could help, if you need help in any way, don't rob others. Call me."

"A-are you sure?!?" His face was so shocked that I cant even tell.

"Yes, buy something food for yourself too, you are a good father."

He took the card, and the money, he was still shocked
"W-what is your name??"
"I cant tell my real name, i'm sorry"
"Oh sure, and what's your hero name??"
"Im not a hero"- he looked at me, confused
"Im a vigilante"- I said it to him
"B-but that's very dangereous! You should be a hero!"
"I cant be one, but I still want to help"
He giggled
"You are too kind to be one huh?"
He stood up, anf looked down at me.
I didn't really noticed how much taller he was than me, and I think he didn't noticed too.

"Are you a kid?"
"Im just short!"
"Jeez you are a kid, i'm sure.
Please be safe, its very dangereous there, mostly at night!
My name is Kai"

"I don't have a vigilante name, so call me Deku"

"Okay Deku. Im sure you have to go."
"Yes, you're right"
"Thank you so much again, Deku"
"I'm glad i could help"

I climbed up to the roof, and checked the time. It was 3:09. My job starts at 7 I think.
I was sitting on the roof, when i heard some footsteps behind me.
"Don't think that i'm deaf"
The noise stopped, a dark figure was standing behind me, from like 3-4 meters away.
"What are you doing up here?"
"Looking at the stars"
"At 3AM?"
"yes"
"Kinda strange, how can i know you're not a criminal?"
"Ah, Eraserhead. Im glad I could met you, you are my favorite hero"
"You Sound like a kid"
"Tha-*cough* *cough*i- *cough*
I started coughing and a couldnt breath normally.
What is happening?
I went numb, but I pushed myself up and tried to run away.
"OI, stop!" Eraserhead chased me
I stopped coughing, but I was still slower than before. I could loose him. So I hide in a small place, to take some deep breath.

what happend to me?
Did I swallowed something?

As I was thinking i noticed the iron taste in my mouth.
I touched it with my hands and looked at it.

It was blood.
