Sacrifice Helle

So the day passed by, Kim was unexpectedly calm, and I feared he was plotting something really bad as a revenge. His right cheek had turned red, but no one dared to comment it, I only heard whispers behind my back. After school I met up with Asami and we walked back home. She was talking about how great her day had been, all the friends she had made and blablabla. I was happy for her, but I..well... I had my own problems to take care of. After mom and dad had gotten home, and we had had dinner, I grabbed my jacket and left the house. "Im going out for a walk!", I shouted, "Just wanna check out the new town!" The sun had just disappeared behind the horizon when I got out. I started walking towards the center, looking at the buildings and houses. The town itself looked as old as the school, with huge houses. I came to an opening, in front of me was a park, with huge trees, it reminded me of a forest, only there were clear pathways and flowers and bushes planted nicely here and there. Behind the treetops I saw huge spears, maybe there was a church.



I wanted to walk in, but it was already dark and parks weren't the best place to be, alone in darkness. I continued my walk and entered a street with cafés and people walking in and out. It was nice. I walked into one of the cafés, ordered a coffee and sat down, thinking about today’s events. The door opened up and I looked up to see who came in. It was a guy, he looked about my age and had blonde hair, not long, but long enough for stripes of hair to hang down in his eyes. He gave me a glance, I tried not to look too freaky, but he just walked passed me, ignored me, and continued further into the café where I couldn’t see him any longer. I sighted. 'Damn.. He was good looking too, boyish but still handsome. But he totally ignored me. And so does everyone else.' I drank up my coffee. 'Well, there’s always the new school, there is a chance I can find a friend or two there, its not like I’ve met everyone today, its a huge school....' And then I walked back home.



All the way home I felt like I was being watched...



(next day)



I was pushed back into the wall. My back hurt from the hit, but it could have been worse. This was not my first fight, but I had some huge disadvantages this time. One: Kim and his gang consisted of 7 guys, while I was 1. 2: my hair. It was extremely easy to grab hold of it, and hold my head with it, or toss me around while pulling it. I had packed it all up in a bun today, but now the boys had surrounded me, bullied me a little and pulled the bond out so my hair was all loose, then pushed me into the wall. We were outside in one of the many gardens surrounding the school, this particular one laid on the backside. It was lunch break again, and time for revenge. They had simply grabbed me and pulled me, partly carried me here, making sure no one followed or told a teacher. One of the guys, a tall one, came towards me, I spit in his face and tried to run away, but another one blocked my way and held on to me. I shook him of, he was smaller than me, and too weak, but soon I had 4 others on top of me. They lifted me up from the ground and held my arms tight. Kim came closer and put his face up in mine, two inches away, I could feel his breath. "I hope you will learn you lesson, Helle..." "Fuck off!" "I think I’ll fuck a little with you first! Maybe..." He looked down at my hair and grabbed a part of it in his hand. "Such long hair, so ugly! Ill fix you up."



He grinned, and his other hand went down his pocket and pulled up a short knife. "Don’t worry, you ugly bitch, short hair will fit you!" The others started laughing and Kim told them to flip me around. He then grabbed hold of my hair again, I couldn’t do anything, they held me so tight. "Oh, I think her hair is lovely. Would be a pity to cut it off." That dark voice .. It came from someone behind Kim, but I could clearly see the other 6 guys in the gang, 4 of them holding me, the 2 others on my side. Where had I heard that voice before? Kim had let go of my hair. "You again?" The guys had eased their grip and I pulled my arms free, turning around. It was him, that guy from yesterday. His ice blue eyes met mine again, and I was happy to see him, even though I had no idea of who he was. He walked towards me, ignoring Kim and his gang members, reached out his hand and touched my hair gently with his fingertips, seemingly fascinated by its length. "Hey you! Get out of here, we're in the middle of something!" Kim tried to tell him, but he ignored him still, his eyes locked on mine. Then Kim grabbed his jacket. Immediately the guy faced Kim and flashed his teeth like a wolf then snarled at him. This dark growl came from deep down his throat, I had never heard any human imitating a beast like that.



Kim let immediate go of his jacket and both him and the others ran away. I was totally surprised. He faced me again, this time with a big smile on his face and then he started laughing. He laughed and laughed and held onto his tummy for the ace. "Oh, shit, did you see their faces?", he asked me. I smiled back at him. "Yeah... They... They got pretty scared..." I didn’t want to say it, but I was a bit scared myself, and now I was alone with this guy, in a garden behind the school, probably far away from anyone else... Well, on the bright side, I still had my hair intact. He stopped laughing. "Come on,", he said, "lets go."
