"Thank you Mr. Keene, See you next week!"

You packed your mum's medicine into the grocery bag and started going over everything you had bought again.

The distant rumble of a car engine pulled you into your memories as you looked down the alley way you had stood only six months before, you always wished you had just taken the chance of your mum being mad at you for being home late. You would have preferred that than the lasting scar that now stayed sitting on your stomach

***

"sketchy alleyway will have to do..." you mumbled to yourself

You hid behind a large dumpster staring straight ahead not even daring to look in case Henry and his goons caught sight of  you. You double-checked that you didn't drop anything on the way here and started going through everything again. Bread, Eggs, Milk. Yet you still thought you were still forgetting something. Bread, Eggs, Mil-

"Hello."

A low growl of a voice rang out from all around you, but you were sure that no-one else was here

"Hello? Is someone there?"

Everything went silent. You hesitated a second before you got up and looked around for where the low growl had come from. forgetting about the reason you were hiding in the first place, but there was no-one there and nowhere for them to be hiding.

"Hello?" You repeated "HELLO?!"

You walked backwards into something human-like and tall you froze in your tracks, a hot breath trailed down your neck. Then you remembered why you were hiding in the first place, Bowers. Two options came to your mind; Run or face them and judging by the way they treated the losers, you didn't want to even turn around to see them. you span on one heel and ran back the way you came, Running into yet another person...

"Ah sorry-"

"Newbie decided to come say hi, how sweet."

You looked up to see Henry bowers staring down at you, But you were certain you had just run into him. You turned around to look where the person you thought was henry had just been, Maybe it was belch or victor or even patrick yet there they all were, standing right behind henry. You turned around and looked down the long alleyway. You didn't even think about what they were going to do to you. You couldn't stop thinking about what was behind you if it wasn't them, but you instantly regretted not spending that precious time trying to escape

"Grab her"

You couldn't even struggle against their grasp as Henry started talking but a sudden ringing in your ear replaced whatever he was saying with someone elses voice, a low growling voice like just before but you couldn't make out what it was saying. Your head being pushed into the alleyway wall.

"Are you listening?"

Of course, you hadn't been listening to anything he had said, You should've said something, anything. But you just stared at him, your eyes watering, waiting to see what he was going to do.
