Emelia looked around the alleyway trying to find a way out…. The thugs came closer waving knives and sticks in her face. ‘Oh boy’ she though ‘How do I get myself out of this one??’ I decided to turn around and run..surely I could run faster than these crooks…. I stopped and made it look like I was going to give up then turned around and sped off down the narrow alley. I ran hard and fast but each time as I jumped over rubbish in my way I heard them getting closer, I climbed over a huge garbage bin to find out the only way to go was over a fence into a small yard with no way out or back the way I came. I decided to risk the yard, at least I might be able to give them some sort of fight and maybe someone might hear me from the street.

I jumped the fence and threw my bag over in a corner where it shouldn’t get squashed. The first thug heaved himself over the fence and started to wave his knife around again. He threw himself at me and I skipped out of the way giving him a kick in the face for his troubles. I turned around to face him, concentrating on him totally until I felt a thud at the back of my head. "OWWW" I cried out falling to my knees clutching my head. I could see the feet of one of the thugs so I looked up and punched him in the groin, bringing him down to my level. He clutched him groin and made a strangled high pitched sound, sounded like a cat in pain! I rubbed the back of my head and felt a lump start to rise, it was very sore. A tall man grabbed my hair and pulled me to my feet and turned me around so I was facing him. I was right in his face, the combination of his bad breathe and my sore head brought tears to my eyes. I knee’d him in the gut so he’d let me hair go but he didn’t. "Now lil girly you didn’t think ya’d get away that easy do ya?" He whacked me in the face with his piece of wood. I heard something crack and felt pain flood through my face.I fell down and clutched my jaw. I didn’t make a sound, I promised myself I wouldn’t. I wasn’t going to show this creep any weakness! I got up, still holding my jaw and got into a fighting stance. I made a grunting sound, if this guy wanted to get hurt I’d show him hurt! For the pain I was going through..he was going to pay!

He looked surprised but it didn’t stop him from taking another swing at me. I ducked it and brought my fist and hit him in the throat causing him to choke. He dropped his mallet and grabbed his throat. I brought my knee into his gut again and also kicked him in the groin, he fell to the ground trying to get his breath. "HOW DARE YOU!" I looked up! I had forgotten the other guy! I made a big mistake but luckily he hadn’t thought to attack me while I was fighting with the other one. He jumped over his partner and dived for my knife first. I was too slow to react and he sliced me across the chest. I went to punch him but found out he was a much better fighter than his partner, he moved back and forth diving at me with the knife and with his fists. I decided that my pride could mend but if I got seriously hurt by this guy…I wouldn’t!

"Help! Anyone a bit of help might be nice!" I yelled at the top of my voice…though I didn’t think it was very loud. He lunged for me again but this time he tripped and I managed to hit him a few times. "ANYONE SOME HELP!?" I was in a funny mood…if this went on any longer I felt I would do something crazy! I glanced over my shoulder to make sure the other guy was still out of the fight when a saw a black bunch of hair near the fence. "Help!! Someone help me!" The thug jumped at me while I was looking over my shoulder and knocked me over, giving me a nasty cut on the face. I landed on my bum and watched a young man leaped over the fence. The thug also noticed him "SCRAM! This aint none of your business!" The young man was well dressed and didn’t look like he was happy with what was going on….to tell the truth neither was I! But that was besides the point. The thug looked between me and the newcomer… "What" he grunted "Is this wench your girlfriend?!" He sneered at me and I got up.

Blood was running down my face and the slice across my chest was also bleeding….i’d forgotten about my jaw but was painfully reminded when I went to speak. "Maybe…owww" I clutched my jaw still eyeing off the thug.. "What?? Maybe the lil boy here needs a lesson like you? He should keep his nose out of other peoples business!" He leapt for the boy…he looked more like a boy than a man… he swiped his knife but it didn’t cut anything. The boy was not in the same place he was, infact he was already completely demolishing the thug. It only took seconds before the thug was lying on the ground next to the other one, the only difference was he wasn’t moving where as the one I knocked out was grunting and trying to get up. He, the boy, looked over towards him and watched as I walked over to him and pressed a pressure point on his neck three times and knocked him out. The thug groaned once more then went completely limp.

I turned around and the boy was in front of me. I didn’t even hear him move! He had my bag, which I took off him. Neither of us said anything until. "So…thanks." Oh well that’s what I tried to say…. It sounded more like "Rrroo….fphanxsss" I blinked the tears out of my eyes as my jaw made itself known again. The boy looked at me… "I think you’d better go to the hospital. Your pretty beat up." My eyes widened and I went white…if I wasn’t already a slight shade of white. I shook my head vemenently! There was no way I was going to the hospital! "Well" he said when he sensed my hesitation "I think your going to have to get stitches for that cut and your jaw needs to be set. Also your going to have to tell the police where to pick those up" I looked back at the motionless thugs then nodded. I tried to speak "Wwwrreelll li bbeetrrr goo"

Which actually meant "Well I better go" He nodded his understanding and helped me over the fence. "The nearest hospital is just down the road. You picked a pretty good place to fight, so close to the hospital and all" I gave a bit of a laugh and began to walk down the street, thinking I’d be going alone but he walked beside me. I gave him a look which clearly said "What are you coming with me for?" "Well since you can’t talk that well I’spose im gonna have to tell the police where other 2 are. Oh..by the way my name is Son Gohan." He looked at me as if I should know him, what did he think he was famous or something?! I nodded my hand and pulled out the name card I used at the university and handed it to him. "…Nice to meet you...Emelia." He smiled..it was a nice smile, a bit sheep-ish looking though. I tried to smile back but any movement of my face aggrivated my jaw. My face went a pasty white with pain from my jaw. I never though a broken jaw could hurt this much! He saw my face and said "Just around the bend is the hospital." I tried to nod but I started to see black… I blinked a couple of times until I saw nothing. I collasped on the footpath.
