Serena's POV

Stupid Ash, Stupid Gary. Stupid host, Why do men have to be idiotical perverts? I thought as I pulled my hair in frustration and kicked a nearby rock against a dumpster. Walking down an alleyway, muttering inappropriate words under my breath as Lady walks next to me.

As sense something wet against my forehead I whip it off only to come more. Looking up, I wince as a raindrop entered my eye, rubbing my eye, I groan. Great, it's raining can it go even worse.

I pull on my hoodie. Grabbing my phone with my earbuds attached to it. Some music to calm down. I turn on my phone searching on my playlist, before finally finding the song 'When we were young' from Adele. Putting it in my ear, hearing the first sentence play.

'Everybody loves the things you do, from the way you ta-'

"AAAAHHHHHHH!"

I jump a bit as my earbud falls off my right ear. What the heck was that?! I snapped my head towards the way of that scream it sounded feminine. I walk slowly towards a dumpster hiding behind it, peeking my head out, I gasp silently.

I saw two females around my age on the ground beaten up a brunette hovering down the other. With a man hovering above them.

"Please, don't hurt her anymore." the brunette pleaded as tears continuously flood down her cheeks. She looked up and kneeled in front of the man. Taking an intake of her appearance. She is a tall and slender with long dark brown hair and blue eyes. She wears a 'used to be' white tank shirt that reaches her waist underneath a black waistcoat and a pair of denim shorts with white tear details on them. She also wears black wristbands with a small pink stripe on them with matching black ankle boots, pink laces and soles, and a pair of black socks underneath. Next to her a pink messenger bag. "Take me instead"

My eyes widen as I see the brunette sacrificing herself for the other one. The other one picks herself up holding her stomach in the process, reaching with her hand putting it on the shoulder of the brunette, the brunette turns around crawling to her. The bluenette looks up, looking at her. I see that she is a bit smaller than the brunette and has a very thin figure, she has long blue hair going past her shoulders and matching blue eyes as the brunette. Her outfit appears to resemble a mini dress, consisting of a black V-neck top with a white undershirt with a short pink skirt and a red scarf. On her 'white' shirt I could faintly see a footprint on it. She also wears gold hair clips that hold up her hair in front. She wears a bracelet on her right wrist. On her feet, she wears pink knee-high boots with black over-knee socks underneath. Behind her, I could see a small yellow backpack and next to her a with a mud-covered white beanie. I could see that she totally been beaten the crap out of her.

"Dawn, don't move or you'll make it worse." the brunette said with concern. Apparently, her name is Dawn. "W-white, Don't do it." Dawn croaked out.

White shook her head furiously as there coming more and more tears out of her eyes if that's even possible. "No, I'm not getting you hurt, even more, Dawn" She sniffed out."I can't take it anymore seeing you get hurt"

A sudden clap brought my glance towards the man as he stepped out of the dark. Sadly, he is dressed in black and his face is covered in that mask you see in horror movies, I gritted my teeth and glared at him. Ready to punch this guy for what he did. Wait for the right time, Serena.

"Aw, what a heartwarming scene, but one of you have to please me. So who is that going to be, huh? " The man said. I could picture him smirking behind that mask.He only has to take a few steps, then I can strike that son of a *****. "Why not you, doll?" the man said raising his knife towards White. Wait, What, KNIFE?!

It was covered with a red liquid; blood.

But who's blood is it? I narrowed my eyes and looked at the girls. White is acting okay, only a few bruises and scratches. And Dawn I suppose also, but she is holding her stomach, so Oh my GOD, no, no, no this is bad, really bad.

I looked over at the man who is taking more and more steps towards White, who's slowly backed away, her back eventually hitting the wall. As the man walked, I slowly and silently stood up and walked behind him. Keeping Lady at her place, who's luckily silent the whole time.

As the man stood in front White I slowly reached arm for his shoulder. The man grabbed White's hair and pulled her up. But unfortunately, I had to step on a branch. As quickly as possible I squeeze my hand on his shoulder on a pressure point, making him wince and eventually drop the knife and pass out. I kicked the knife out of his reach and picked up my phone. And dialled the emergency number; 911.

As I waited I looked up to see White and Dawn looking at me in disbelieve and shock.

"Does one of you need help?" I asked.

"Y-yes, Dawn is stabbed and losing blood," White said. I nodded in response.

"9-1-1, do you require fire, police or ambulance?"

"Police and Ambulance," I responded quickly.

"For what town or city?"

"New York City"

"What's the address in New York City?"

I looked around, I can't see a street name anywhere. Crap.

"Do you know where we are?" I asked White and Dawn hopefully.

"I think we are on the Sycamore Street," White said.

"Can you repeat that?" The telephonist asked.

"I think we're on the Sycamore Street, in an alley," I said.

"What's your name?"

"Serena"

"Oké, Serena tell me exactly what happened?"

"There was a man with a knife attacking two girls. They are both beaten. One of them is stabbed. I knocked out the attacker."

"When did this happen?"

"Just a few minutes ago."

"Are you still on the scene?"

Why so MANY questions?! If someone is dying this minute it will be wasted by stupid questions.

"Yes"

"Where are the weapons now?"

"I kicked the knife away."

"Are you in immediate danger?"

"I don't know, he could wake up any moment. Please hurry, she is losing a lot of blood."

"Where's the best way to get to you?"

"I. Don't. Know. Come to the alley as fast as you can, please hurry."

"The officers and ambulance are on their way place stay on the line."

"Okay."I said and turned towards White." Can you keep on the line, I'll try to help Dawn." White nodded as I gave her my phone.I kneeled down and looked at Dawn. I could see a lot of bruises on her arms and legs. On her side there was a large blood stain, I could barely see the wound."Dawn, can you pull out your arms so I can see your wound." I asked softly.

Dawn hesitantly took her arms of her side. I sighed out of reliving. It's just a flesh wound, it's not deep.

"Is she okay?" White asked as I looked back and gave her a smile.

"She's okay, it's a flesh wound, nothing serious," I explained as White sighed out of relive. Turning back to Dawn."You gonna be okay, just hang tight." Dawn nodded.

I could faintly hear the sirens of the ambulance as I saw blue lights flashing. The sounds became louder and louder until it came to a stop. I turned towards White.

"Can you signal them to come this way?" I asked as White nodded. She stood up and walked towards the beginning point of the alley, limping once in while. I looked back at Dawn who is again holding her side, wincing. The rain began to reduce as the drops hit the ground softly only a few falling from the view of a nearby puddle.

"Dawn!" White screamed as I looked at her running our way, well trying to, with the paramedics behind her carrying a stretcher and 3 policemen behind them. As they reached us. White brought the policemen towards the man and pulled him up and handcuffed him and dragging them towards their car.

The paramedics checked up on Dawn as I filled them in on the injuries that I discovered. They carefully put Dawn on the stretcher and brought her towards the ambulance. I walked behind them looking them placing Dawn safely in the ambulance. As I looked at them I saw White walking up to me at the corner of my eye. I turned around to face her.

"Would you like to come with us?" White asked as she rubbed her arm and looked down. Me?!

"Why?"

"It's okay if you don't want to-"

"No," I blurted out."I will come with you."

White looked up and smiled at me slightly. "Let's go, we can't let Dawn stay in the ambulance forever. "

I chuckled before walking to the ambulance along with White and Lady.

Why did I agree?

~~~~~~~
Intensive care

I was in the waiting room at NYC Hospital. Sitting down Lady on my lap sleeping soundly while I petted her fur. Dawn is being checked up and White is telling the police what happened. I already did that. I've been staring at the door of Dawn's room for about an hour. I think.

When I checked the time on the ticking clock hanging above the door. 4:36 AM. I sighed I never had stayed up to 2 AM and now is it two hours above. I'm so tired I just want to go to bed and sleep forever.

After an eternity White walked up to me. Finally!

"Sorry," White apologized."It took a while till they had everything they needed to know."

"No worries, it didn't take that long." My voice accidentally dripping with a bit sarcasm.

White just rolled her eyes playfully. And walked towards Dawn's room. I raised my eyebrow.

"Where do you think you're going?" I questioned as White let her hand leaning against the doorknob. And turned towards me. Looking at me with 'What do you think I'm doing?' face.

"I'm going to visit Dawn," White said as she raised an eyebrow at me."Is that a problem?"

"You can't go in ye- " Before I could finish my sentence, White scoffed and opened the door. I waited a moment. She is coming back. I looked at the clock and counted down.

NOW...

As I pointed at the door. Huh?Nothing? Usually, it works.

I waited a few more seconds, still nothing. After a few minutes still NOTHING!

I scoffed and gently laid Lady next to me as I stood up. I breathed out, my back and legs stiff from sitting too long. I stretched, hearing a pop. I put a hand in front of my mouth and yawned. I walked over towards the door reaching my hand over towards the doorknob, I stopped.

I could hear faint noises from the other side. I put my ear to it.The only thing I could make out was 'I have a right to see her, I've been waiting for hours!' White.

Soon there were a silence and tapping noises coming closer and closer. They are coming this way!

As the door was opening, I panicked. I step aside and leaned my back against the wall, using my foot as support. I crossed my arms and looked at my nails. 'Trying to play it cool'

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see the person been pushed out and the door slammed shut. I flinched a little. I looked up to see White glaring at the door, clearly, she didn't notice me standing there.

"So," I trailed off looking back at my nails."I suppose it didn't go well."

White huffed and turned around as she seated herself in the chair. She groaned as she put her hands in her hair in frustration.

"I just want to check up on her," White mumbled.

I felt pity for her. I sighed as I pushed myself off the wall and walked towards her sitting down next to her.

"I know how you feel," I mumbled. She turned her head towards me, her hands still in her hair. She raised an eyebrow.

"You do?" She asked. I nodded as I slumped back in my seat looking at the ceiling.

"The feeling of someone you care about being hurt and not knowing how to help is frustrating," I explained.

"Yep,"White said as she positioned herself in the same position as mine."I'm worried that's all. I know Dawn almost whole my life. I'm just afraid"

"That you will lose her." I finished. White nodded.

"She is like a little sis for me," White said.

"And you would do everything to keep her happy and safe," I said as she nodded again.

"You're a great friend for Dawn," I said as White turned towards me."She might even see you as a big sister too."

"How do you now?" She questioned.

I shrugged."You two have a great bond, I could see it immediately. You were willing to sacrifice yourself for her and she didn't want you to but you didn't budge you stood your ground willing to protect her from any kind of danger, right?" I asked.

White agreed as a short silence passed upon us, not awkward but comfortable one. A question popped up in my head.

"May I ask what happened in the alley, before I arrived?"
