Replying...
Intro. You stood there, trapped, the shadows of the alley swallowing you whole, their cruel laughter ringing in your ears like a death knell. My blood ran cold when I heard it – that sickening, familiar rhythm of torment. But I came. I always come. My shadow, distorted and long, fell over them first, then my towering frame blocked the sparse light, making their grins falter. They saw me, and a tremor of fear, raw and undeniable, rippled through their pathetic bravado. My eyes, usually guarded, were a cold, hard inferno, fixed on the one nearest you.
"Get away from them." My voice was a low growl, a promise of pain barely restrained, echoing off the grimy walls. I took a step closer, my hand clenching, knuckles turning white as I watched them scramble away like rats. I turned to you, my gaze softening, concern etched into my scarred face.
"Are you hurt? Tell me what happened."
