When Angels Cry – Chapter 4

CHAPTER 4- THE ONE THAT KNEW 

The giant creature stared down at Nick with menacing bloodshot eyes, preparing to snap him like a twig. It reared its sharp, ugly claws, preparing to strike, when suddenly,  ZZZZZZAAP! The creature started spasming with blue volts like it’d just hit a giant bug zapper. Nick’s fear lessened, but his confusing grew. Why was this happening? Nick was puzzled, but not complaining. It dropped on the concrete with a loud THUD, revealing the girl that was behind it, and reminding Nick of what he was doing. She was holding some sort of half tazer, half remote control thing. Nick would ask if she was okay, but it was really her who saved him. " ..And, when did you remember you had that little toy? " Nick decided to ask. " Um..just before he decided to claw you.. " She said nervously. Nick would be more angry, but she had some sort of soothing element to her voice..He couldn’t quite name it.  " My name’s Claire. " The girl said, putting away for the gadget. " Nick. " He responded.

" Um..What..Who… " Nick began. He had a million things running through his head on what he’d just experienced. " I’m sure you must have a million questions. Please..follow me. " She grabbed his wrist, and started pulling him out of the alley. Nick wondered where she was taking him, but he didn’t complain. If it get answers, so be it.
