Dark ness washes over the city and marks the time of the gangs, the whole city runs home before it turns dark to avoid the mass killings when night falls. The Golden Roses men roam around the city watching over us like we're the ones who murdered the murdered the president and took over the city. My shifts nearing a end as I wiped down tables at Darren's diner, I look out the window in fear of the walk home in the dark I map out in my head the safest way to go, to avoid the gang members. I run across the diner in a panic and grab my stuff practically sprinting out the door and only stopping to lock up. The walk so far has been fine, I turn a corner and see a group of men surrounding someone the guy in the middle looks like he's in charge he just has a bossy vibe. I looked again questioning whether it was safe to run by but as I was looking for the all clear I got the opposite, their jackets had a rose on the back with the letters T. G. R...
"Shit the golden roses" I think aloud and the whole group turns to me. I pray to God knowing that this is my last moments hoping that even though I'm not Christian God will save me. I turn to run away but felt two massive hands pushing down on my shoulder causing me to fall to the ground I let out a cry in pain, I look up and my eyes meet the darkest brown eyes I have ever seen I get lost in them but soon snap out of it when I remember that these men are no good. "hello doll what u doing out so early?" the guy with brown eyes asks me "ERM on my way home f-f-from w-w-work" I stutter looking down at the ground in fear "LOOK AT ME WHEN I AM SPEAKING TO U" the man shouted I look up terrified was tears rolling down my face "I'm sorry... Please don't hurt me" I manage to say. Loud laughter echos in the alley "do u know who I am" he says through laughter
I hesitantly shake my head no fearing what will happen next. He looks taken aback by my answer I stare at him in confusion Am I ment to know who he is? I thought. "well I'm Lion black" he says a devious smirk spreading across his face. That's all I needed to hear for my fear of him to not just double but triple I have just walked into a gang meeting and worse thier leader saw me trying to run away I am doomed I shout internally.
My head spins as I sit there in fear before finally it stops bringing more darkness and my eyes close... Yeah pressure not my thing
