Yes, yes I DO!!!
With fire brewing in your heart, you hurled yourself over the stone railing and into the street. Not once paying the slightest bit of attention to all the honking cars, and bewildered pedestrians you ran past. As you approached the alley Sarina was dragged into, you could see down the long passageway just enough to catch a glimpse of a large figure disappearing around a corner and into a smaller side alley. Breaking into a run to head into the aisle, you stopped briefly just long enough to grab a sizable board of flat wood that was roughly the same size as a baseball bat.
"Perfect!" you exclaimed.
As you rounded the corner of the smaller alleyway, your blood grew cold in your veins. Forcibly pressed up against the wall high enough her feet were off the ground, was Sarina. Pining her to the wall with one fat hand on her throat and another holding her right arm against the wall, was a filthy, greasy, slime ball brute of a human. He was easily a head taller than you, and three times your size in sheer girth. He was wearing a brown, tattered leather coat, stained jeans, and a ratty pair of boots. A feeling of cold rage and disgust blossomed in your rib cage when the greasy man slowly pushed his filthy, bald headed, unshaven face closer to Sarina's lips, a vile smile creeping across his features when Sarina flinched backwards with revulsion.
With great relief, you were happy to see Sarina wasn't much worse for wear. There were no scratches or marks to speak of, but her stylish, crimson turtleneck shirt had a few tears in the fabric, while her snow white leggings were now stained with dirt and mud. Your heart sank a little at the sight, as you always thought she looked beautiful in that outfit. The way the crimson shirt highlighted her jet black fur and moonlight yellow eyes, and the way her white leggings fit snug and tight against her shapely form and sharp hips......n-not that you looked or anything!!
"Hello kitty kitty, won't you give us a kissy kiss?" The man cooed slimily.
The look Sarina gave him could've turned a person into stone. "Let go of me sir, and I promise you the kiss of death will be satisfactory," Sarina spat back.
"Hehe,I like me one with a bit of spunk...." said the man with a chortle.
"Oi! Tiny Tim!" You called out at the top of your lungs, running full tilt toward the massive scumbag.
The instant the greasy man's head turned to see who had called out, was the same instant the wooden board collided with his head with enough force to shatter the board into splinters and knock the greasy brute into a daze. As the man staggered backwards, Sarina fell to ground hard on her rump, coughing violently as she rubbed her sore throat. Throwing the now useless remains of the board away, you dropped to your knees to check to see if Sarina was alright, thankful your heart had stayed strong and true enough to convince you to rescue her.
I don't think I could've lived with myself if I didn't...
"Y-you?!...*cough*...What are..*cough*..you doing *cough* here?!" she wheezed, her brilliant golden eyes gazing up at you in wonder and surprise.
Gingerly helping the royal cat back onto her feet, you were about to answer her question when the sound of furious cursing could be heard coming from behind you. "No time, just go!" you exclaimed, pushing her away.
"But what about..." she argued.
"Go! Please!" you yelled.
She wanted to protest, you could see it in her eyes, but she did what she was told and ran. You watched with relief as her long, majestic tail disappeared back into the main alleyway. So distracted were you by Sarina's bewitching form, you didn't see the sheer cannonball of a fist that was coming at you from a now recovered, attacker.
Strange spots of bright color filled your vision as the entire left side of your head erupted with pain like a volcano, launching you sideways straight into a pair of metal trashcans. You knew this man had to have been strong, but to actually feel his strength was an experience you could've done without. The man was just about to swing another punch downward but you quickly blocked it by use a metal trashcan lid, which crumpled like tinfoil from the blow. As the man drew back to punch again, you delivered a quick kick to the man's knee, distracting him just long enough to allow the chance to drop the lid straight on his head, hard.
As the man fell to the ground in a heap, you hurriedly scrambled back up to full height to make a break for it, only to have your feet pulled out from under you when the man grabbed your ankle. Landing hard on the ground on your stomach, you swiftly turned round to find the man pulling you back toward him by your ankles.Despite your kicks to his head, the large climbed up to full height with both of his hands on your neck, where he began to squeeze with the strength of a bear. Blackness was beginning to envelope your vision as you desperately tried to break free. Failing that, you resorted to one last option of kicking the man square in the groin.
A loud cry of agony echoed across the alleyway as the man tensed up from the blow. Recovering yourself, you broke free of his hold and began to fight back, throwing punches left and right at the man's face, throat and shoulders. Unfortunately, the big brute drew into himself and was easily shaking off whatever damage you could throw. Quick as a whip, the man grabbed one of arms, leaving you exposed so he could bring round his other arm to lethally drop you to the ground. Thick, globs of blood pooled on the ground as you coughed harshly. At that moment a dark figure suddenly loomed over head. You looked up in horror as the greasy faced man lifted up his thick leg high into the air, ready to crush your skull into the pavement. Closing your eyes and whispering a prayer, one final thought fluttered through your mind as you awaited your demise.
I love you Sarina....I only wish you knew how much.....
Just as the man was about to deliver the killing blow, a loud sound grabbed both his and your attention. Suddenly, the man began to scream and shout while twisting frantically about in place. Opening your eyes cautiously, you found yourself in awe at the sight before you where the man was being attacked by....
