Song of the day: Tempt my troubles. - Bishop Briggs

Ash grabbed the man, throwing him back, making him land in the mud. He looked furious, his blue eyes wide as he raised him from the ground. He didn't even feel his weight on his hands, he couldn't really believe that he was able to do something like that, the him that was always hungry and weak could easily pick up such a monster. 

"Fucking lowlife." he mumbled and threw him on the side of the small road. The huge man landed on the wooden wall of a building, coughing as he stood up, looking at the young man with disgust. 

"Why are you getting in the way? It's first come first serve here. I found her so she is mine." he said, Olivia's terrified eyes widening with his words. Was that really true? They could snatch women off the road like that? Her small body started shaking, tears blurring her eyes as she tried to move to the side of the road. She was terrified. 

"What did you just say?" Ash asked him, his footsteps were heavy, slow and threatening. Mud splashing here and there from his black boots and he punched him right in the nose, making his head bounce back and forth like a rubber band. 

"You bastard." The vampire cursed at him and grabbed him by his shirt, head butting him and creating a cut on his pale forehead. Olivia screeched, seeing the blood and the young man stumble back. 

"Ash…" She cried, trying to approach him. He raised his arm, stopping her as he looked at his enemy.

"It's a good thing no one will search for you if you die here!" Ash shouted and rushed forward, kicking the man in the jaw. He landed right back down, Ash's dirty sole crushing his fingers as he stepped on him.  The man screamed, feeling the fragile bones shutter and looked up. 

"Fine, fine" he said, hoping that Ash would stop. "You can have your whore." he told him and Ash pressed harder on his hand. "Fine!" he screamed. 

"Olivia…" Ash said, stepping now on his back and keeping him down. The girl looked at him, her face painted brown as the mud started to get hard on her face. "Turn around and don't look." he told her and the girl turned her back to the fight. She didn't have to be asked twice nor was she curious about what Ash was planning to do, she could imagine and that was enough. As she looked at the dirty wall, counting the cracks and waiting he heard a sharp scream, the sound of bones breaking and a short gasp, then utter silence. She attempted to turn around. "Not yet!" Ash told her and she heard dragging. Her heart was racing, fear and worry spreading all over her body. "Turn around now." he said and she  did as she was told.

Her dark eyes landed on Ash. There was blood on his forehead but now sign of the cut anymore, his hands coated in blood and he wiped it carelessly on his pants. She bit her lip, noticing that in the alley right to their left she could see the man's feet protruding. He had killed him, Ash had probably ripped his heart off and soon he would turn into dust. 

"Did you…" 

"Let's go." he told her and started walking but Olivia couldn't take another step. 

Suddenly she felt as if she was going to collapse if she tried to move. She stayed frozen, her eyes stuck to the ground as she tried to stop shaking. 

"What's wrong?" Ash asked her as he heard her sniffle.

"I can't move." The poor girl stuttered and looked at him, her eyes filled with tears, streaks showing her pale face, cleaning the dirt. "I…I can't move." she repeated, scared that there was something wrong with her. 

Ash knew very well what was happening. The fear was paralyzing her, making her lose control of her whole body. She was young and naive, he shouldn't have brought her here. The young man could hear her cry, her fragile body shaking without a stop and he sighed. He took a few steps towards her, awkwardly raising his hand and patted her head, caressing her soft brown hair. 

"It's over, no one will harm you. I promise. I will keep you safe." he said, his tone gentle. "Come on, let's go back. It's going to be alright, trust me." he told her, looking right into her eyes. Olivia averted her gaze, a blush spreading to her face and she shyly nodded. "Good, you actually did very well, you were really brave." he said as they started walking.

"Brave? I was a complete embarrassment, all of my training…all these years…"

"Training?"

"Yeah, my father is the head of the Night Division so naturally my brother and I have had special training ever since I was young." 

"Well, battle and real life are really different. Still most people would have had a panic attack or fainted so you did good." he told her, his expression serious. 

"I am sorry for everything I said before. I didn't know anything, but now that I know, I have no idea on what I am supposed to do." She said her face was falling. "How to fix things." 

"I don't think it's in your hands to fix things." Ash told her.

"But…"

"Do you want to go back there? Do you really think this is a place you should be in?" Ash stopped and looked at her. "You said it yourself,  you didn't know before but now you do so will you still go?"

"Yes, if there is anything I could do to make things better for these people I would" Olivia said all of her fear from before having instantly disappeared.
