I looked out at the cafe and saw how empty is was and had withheld another sigh from escaping me.
I had been working his dead end job for almost seven years, I had tried getting a new job but it just felt like no one would hire me no matter what I did, I have lost count how many home learning courses I had done to improve my employability but nothing worked.
I was a tall...5 foot 9 girl with a long face, caucasian and stringing blonde hair with brown eyes, I was not attractive in any way.
I bathed regularly and used every king of shampoo known to man but nothing worked, I lived in a shitty flat in London with hardly anything working but it was at least a roof over my head, I looked at the clock and saw it was closing time as I had already spent the last hour cleaning everything as there was no customers.
I walked to the back and grabbed my bag before setting up what little security there was, closing the lights, then leaving the building before locking up after me.
It was about a thirty minute walk back to my flat but no one really bothers me and toom the time to think about all the stuff I wanted to do but could never afford to, travel the world, do some tomb raider shit, study history and Archaeology, learn old languages, go back to martial arts and the last one was to have kids.
I knew it would not be on my cards, no man would touch me and I could never afford to have kids anyway I was going to be that depressing cat lady I always heard about but without the cats as I could not afford those either.
As I was about to approach my building I heard someone screaming and some men laughing, I kept telling myself that I should walk away but I froze because I could hear the woman begging for them to stop and leave her but they just kept laughing the I heard a slap sound with a thud, I pulled out my phone and called the police.

"999, what's your emergency?"

"Someone is about to be raped by three men."

I thrn gave the lady the address and then heard ripping and could not allow that sobbing woman to be raped, so I left my phone on so they could hear everything the pulled put my pocket knife the picked up a bar in the other before quacking running in and smacked one of the guys on the head while shouting his appreance then another when they got off the woman and came at me, I got he second guy in the balls and was screaming his looks and his friend along wih any distinguished marks I could see in the dark alley.
The last guy tried to punch me but he missed and I stabbed him in the arm which made him scream before I stabbed him in the leg and head butted him, once he fell down I ran to the woman holding what was left of her clothes grabbed her and ran out of the alley but just as we exited the alley and saw the police car and ambulance turn up a shot rang out I turned and saw the first guy hold his gun up looking st me with a smirk before horror as he saw the police looking at him knowing that he was going away for life.

I collapsed to the floor, hearing the police call for backup and another ambulance. One of the paramedics came to me, trying to keep me talking, but I looked at him with a sad smile.

"It's okay, I did the right thing."

I said with a whisper he just looked at me like he was going to cry and I turned and saw the woman I saved sobbing looking at me telling me thank you over and over again, I just smiled at her before looking at the sky and saw the stars twinkle so brightly like they were invited me home and so I let go leaving behind my old life.

It was shortly after that I found myself in what seemed like a on going desert but with an enchanting night sky looking at me then I turned around and saw a large door, I walked towards it before stopping at the site of....scales, it was strange to see and when I got closer I saw hieroglyphs then I had the most strange idea and put my head to my chest before........pulling out my heart and placing it on the scales then a feather appeared.
I watched as it went up and down for a moment before it showed my heart was....lighter then the feather, I smiled a little but took my heart and put it back in my chest when I heard a throat clear.
I turned around quickly and saw a very tall man of African origin with deep brown eyes that seem to contain never ending knowledge, high check bones and well defined body making me blush a little and him chuckle.
