Ashes Of The Phoenix

The stench inside was indescribable, and as the girl quickly turned to make her way to the exit, she fortuitously noticed a jar on a shelf, just what she was looking for. She quickly grabbed it, slipped it in the pocket of her pants, but she hadn’t reached the exit when somebody shouted at her in a strangely unknown language. The “pointless escape mechanism” kicked in, but it was useless because a huge guy stopped in front of her and grabbed her by her hair. The man dragged her inside, ignoring her screams while she cursed him and ordered him to let her go. He led her into the back store and gave her a first loud slap. Confused and aching, Fade tried to react, but she was immediately struck by a kick and then another which made her drop to her knees breathlessly. He grabbed her by her hair again and dragged her out like a garbage bag and, as such, tossed her out onto the stinky garbage cans. She found herself on her knees trying to catch her breath, confiding that the lesson was over, but she was knocked senseless with an infinite set of kicks to her kidneys that made her collapse to the floor between the insults of her attacker, until another person forced him to stop, telling him that he didn’t want to be involved in a murder. The man struck a last kick, followed by a growl like a gurgle, and abandoned her “This is your lesson, you damned thief,” he concluded, slamming the back door behind him.
