A girl, no older than eighteen, walks down the dark and busy street. Many call her a runaway, but how can you run from your life when all you remember is a life on the streets of the large city in which she stays. Others call her a whore; they try to force her to do what she will not. The pigs of this city dislikes her for she is a woman-child that steals for a living, she smokes and drinks for hours at times.
A long onyx duster she stole from a very large and mean biker earlier this night covers her body. Underneath that are simple jeans and a tank top, both black, her chains dangling around her waist, studded belt and wristbands adorn her. Black steal-toes, worn from the years she has had them, a grim reminder of her past hidden beneath them all. Her neck is dirty from the necklaces she wares, one chain with her ring, the other giving to her by her sister, the only thing that tells you of her faith hangs from it. Her short black hair makes her look like a man, with a long braid running down a side. The strangest thing about this girl is her eyes, beautiful silver eyes like those of a cat that holds the pain that she has been given in her years of life.
The girl walks this street for one reason tonight, her need to find herself a place to stay for the night. The wind picks up as she turns the corner, pulling the coat closer to her body she hurries along the sidewalk, ignoring the looks and calls from the males around her. The girl never saw the stranger following her.
She walks on as rain falls hard on to the earth; she hurries herself into the nearby bookstore, her body drenched thanks to the weather. The girl walked to the cafΓ© part of the store, "Coffee...black...hell of a lot of sugar ....please?" she asks, her voice in a low whisper.
The man behind the counter barley hears her request, "On the house buttercup....so is the food." She goes to protest, but the man hold his hand up, "your too thin darlin', until your family finds you the guys here will take care of you." She gives the man a faint "thank you" as she starts to walk to her seat, second floor to the right of the New Age section. 'I'm thankful that they let me stay here', the girl thinks, thankful for the warmth of the building. 'I just hope that biker isn't too mad at me for taking his coat and wallet.'
Minutes later, an employee walks up carrying a tray full of the most delicious looking, hot food that the girl had seen in days. She says her thanks and starts to eat slowly. The man watches her from his seat, just a few feet away from where she sits. The man was tall, nearly seven feet in height, and had been following the girl since she took the coat. If she looked up, the girl would be very fearful and worried for her safety; the man that is following her is the biker whom she stole the coat from.
The biker watches the girl with shaded dark green eyes, his long black hair pulled back at the base of his head. He saw the girl take his coat from the back of his cycle. He had no problem finding her down the street, his coat on her body. His mind starts to plan what he will do to the young thief in his coat.
The girl's sudden coughing fit brought them both- man and girl- out of there secluded thoughts. The girl is doubled over and shaking, one of the female employees walk to her, checking to see is alright, "thank you for your concern but I have to go before the rain..." the girl trails to the door and with slight hesitation leaves the store. The biker follows suite, making sure the girl could not see him in the shadows of the night.
