Attempt One Chapter 2

1st attempt on my life. Now, the old men, the hobo's who tried to kill me, were before I got my dad back. They're not counted in this. The attempted murder. 

I was sleeping in my warm, cozy bed when.....

A sound drags me from my sleep. A sound like footsteps. Heavy, boot-clad, footsteps. 

It's probably one of the adults. No need to be worried. Why would they be wearing boots inside? We all know Tony values his precious carpets. And, it's not the right time for boots outside. 

Maybe someone ( Tony ) got drunk? " Probably. " I whisper as I flip over in bed. I close my eyes and nestle into my blankets, preparing to fall asleep. 

Right as my eyes close, my door is opened. What the...? Light from a flashlight shines in the room. I tense but force myself to freeze. Nope. I don't think that is someone who lives in the tower. Why didn't they just flip on the lights? 

I hear a small crackling sound, like a walkie talkie.

" Yeah. I've got eyes on her. She's asleep. Dead or alive ma'am? " A deep, rough voice asks. " Alright. I'll bring her in. " 

I feel a shiver go down my spine. Oh my. Right now would be a good time for someone to come in and kill this dude. 

I close my eyes and clench my fists as I listen to heavy footsteps walk towards my bed. I look at the man through my eyelashes. He isn't very cute. A large scare runs from the top of his forehead to the side of his mouth. His eyes are a sickly shade of yellow that shines in the moon. 

His skin is burnt in a few spots, tattoo's cover his arms. He has large hands and feet. Nothing about this man screams ' nice to talk to '. He looks like a nightmare. Maybe he had a bad night at the bar? 

I force myself to lie still as the man pulls out a clothe. A black cloth. He takes out a small vile of something and pours a generous amount on the cloth. He drops the vile on the ground and pulls out a knife. He smirks and walks towards me. 

I jump up and hold up my clenched hands towards him. Fire and ice shoot at him and he yells. 

I scream as he gets on top of me and tries to stab me. I push him away as much as I can. He's heavy! Like super, mega, heavy. I scream again and the door handle is wiggled furiously. " Aura? What's going on? Aura! " My dad yells on the other side of the door. " Why's your door locked? Aura! What's going on, darling! " My dad's voice is full of panic and worry. 

The man glances at the door but before he can get off of me, the door is thrown open. Dad looks at me confused before it turns to anger as he sees the man. 

" GET OFF OF HER!! " He yells as he lunges towards the man. He pushes him back and I hiss at the pain in my side. I look down as blood seeps through my t-shirt. 

Everyone else in the tower got here before dad killed the man. But just barely. Uncle Thor had to drag him away. He yelled at the man as he was taken towards his room. 

Tony gave the man a few extra punches as the man tried to escape. 

I pant and whimper as I touch my wounded side. 

Chase looks over to me. His eyes widen. " She was stabbed!! " He rushes towards me as I let out a small yelp.

This was definitely not fun.
