Today was off to a rough start, and it was just the morning. Out of nowhere, a mysterious girl appeared and interrupted me grabbing some cash for lunch, preventing me from dealing with the irritating bastard who had pissed me off. Her grip on my hand was unexpectedly strong, almost crushing it.

As time dragged on, my arm became nothing but a distant memory, numbness creeping in like an unwelcome guest. With every passing moment, I clenched my jaw, determined to push through the agony coursing through my veins.

"Stop calling me weak!" I shouted, my free hand clenched into a fist, poised for a confrontation. Screw societal norms about not hitting women or even giving her the honor of being my girlfriend; she needed a reality check.

I could feel the blood rushing to my head, my anger rising as I threw my fist forward.

My fist made contact with a resounding smack, causing her face to turn slightly to the right.

Remarkably, she still didn't release my hand, and my clenched fist remained pressed against her left cheek aching upon impact. Her disheveled brown hair momentarily concealed her eyes, leaving her expressionless.

I was inexplicably frozen, unable to tear my gaze away from her face, nor could I withdraw my fist. The strange girl's face returned to its original position as it pushed against my fist, her brown eyes appearing once more. They exuded a wild, untamed intensity, complemented by a wide grin that made it evident she was relishing the situation.

I couldn't help but wonder what the heck was up with this chick. I mean, seriously, her body's like frickin' iron, and she's just grinning like a maniac after taking a hit to the face. "What the hell?" I thought, totally confused by her weird reaction. She's definitely not your average girl, that's for sure.

Honestly it truly at this moment that I knew that I really had fucked up. I felt a sharp, intense pain as she tightened her grip on my hand and proceeded to crush it. I could feel the bones inside almost crunching together as I screamed out in pain, getting on my knees.

"You were saying?" the strange girl inquired, still squeezing my hand tightly, causing me more agony.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P3dHxvqgi
"Please...stop..." I whimpered, the pain overwhelming me as I tried my best not to cry.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEyCwOpuYZ
"Stop?" she echoed, her grip becoming more merciless as she brought her face closer to mine, her long brown hair tickling my cheeks. She whispered in a voice that was low, yet menacing. "Why should I?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidTgbGEFLV
"Damn it..." I silently scolded myself as she pulled her face a few inches away. "She's so attractive..."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqZl3OtAWb
I clenched my teeth, trying to refocus. "Not the time for that, brain."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEocUc3e9wh
"Boss!"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUWWciCLJw
My eyes widened as a familiar voice reverberated through the alley. The mysterious girl and I both turned our attention to the entrance, her grip on my hand loosening slightly, thank god.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXCCILixcn
I grinned as four boys appeared at the alley's entrance, my crew.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurygho7sAk
The crew, the useful bastards I had no qualms putting to work, had finally arrived.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUGyRn688v
"What took you guys so long?" I shouted.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMr4OC0rgs
"Sorry, boss, you were just sprinting too fast," Charlie wheezed, his rotund belly jiggling like a bowl of jelly as he caught his breath.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd32AZ5mDR
"You can apologize later!" I hollered. "Just get over here and help me, ya bastards!"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmfygW3hNn
""Right!"" The boys shouted, each running towards The girl, their faces twisted in anger.
I grinned, expecting the mysterious girl to be intimidated, but instead she merely looked bored, as if my crew of boys was not even worth her time.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpSyP6FqBe
"Oh? So these are your little minions?" the mysterious girl inquired, turning her head to me. "little rats that don't know their place."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96uJJ5MqaN
With a sense of relief, she let go of my hand, even though I could barely move it.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiJgJnynId
Turning her attention to my crew, she advanced, her fists tightly clenched.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRBUckU3G0
"I'll wrap this up swiftly," she declared. "At this rate I'm going to be late," she whispered to herself.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkb02H6hRC
A nervous "gulp" escaped my lips as I sensed i was about to get my ass kicked.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQz7s72yV6
I observed my boys charging towards the confident girl, their clenched fists ready for action. Despite my initial inclination to cheer them on, her assured stride made it clear things wouldn't go our way.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF83aUFa06z
"Guys, get back!" I shouted, but it was too late. The girl, sporting a smirk, effortlessly handled my outnumbered group. She moved like some kind of freakin' ninja, dodging my boys' punches like it was child's play. When she threw her own fists, it was like they were freakin' bullets or something, hitting my guys so hard they went flying, slamming into the ground like rag dolls.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgQIUGiDS2
I couldn't believe what I was seeing. This chick was straight-up unreal. Despite the odds, she stood victorious among them, not suffering even a slight scratch.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoMy3pqSV3
Sitting down, nursing a slightly aching hand, I watched as her delicate-looking fists transformed into claws, slashing through the air. In mere seconds, She was beating up the unconscious bodies of my men, smiling like a wild beast as she did so.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEg5sf0gPB
"What the hell?" I said in shock.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0uOFMtIrW
The girl, done beating up my unconscious friends, turned to face me with a deadly gaze. "You just sat there and watched," she accused. Sweat formed on my forehead as she approached. "You're not only weak; you're a coward," she declared, cracking her fist.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DNOEEAwN4
She rushed towards me faster than I could have imagined. Time slowed, my senses heightened, and I braced for the impact.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkziUK1uw4k
"Oh, damn..." I said as a petite yet seemingly formidable fist hurtled toward me. Instinct warned me – this wasn't just any fist; it was on a mission to wreak havoc. Bracing myself, I shut my eyes, uttering a desperate prayer for deliverance.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPRxfPXgoB
"Oh God, spare me from this..." Darkness engulfed me, leaving my mind vacant, shattered like a fragile illusion, as an impact akin to a merciless rock slammed into my face.
