The way he said it made her think that he was dealing with some inner demons. “Right…point taken” she said, glancing down at her dress. “A girl in a dress is the equivalent of the wrong guy taking it as her asking for something.” She rolled her eyes, but it was the reality. Men were pigs. Some worse than others. 

“I’m Elena.” 

“In  this neighbourhood you were lucky that you didnt just get raped int eh middle of the street….Those men would have raped and beaten you if I hadnt have come along.” He told her as they came up to a park, he moved over to one of the benches and sat down. “Sorry, I shouldnt be so blunt but it would have happened and no one would have come to help you if you screamed….they might have joined in..” Axel sighed and took another drink from his flask.

The whiskey had made her eyes burn and with a light cough, she was wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. “Well, no offense but your taste sucks” she said hoarsely. Her throat tightened as she got over it, managing a small laugh. “I like to walk. I used to walk around after dark all the time back in Virginia. Those rules don’t apply here, I see. Thank you, by the way. I’m not sure how I would have gotten out of that.” 

“None taken…It does its job and thats all I want it for.” He smiled before taking a drag on his smoke. “Walking can be fun…maybe you shouldnt wear something that sticks out so much next time…You can walk but I wouldnt do it alone if I was you..” He told her before putting out his smoke and smiling at her. “….I’m Axel.” He said before looking around them, making sure they had not been followed by any of the men who had been pushing her around.

“I mean, I thought that I would get to know the area a bit more. It was kind of a last minute decision to move here and well, the place seemed nice enough” she said, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. Nibbling on her lower lip, she was beginning to realize the mistake she had made. After what happened back home, she should have known better. 

Upon seeing the flask, she nearly waved it off. She shouldn’t. It could have been drugged. Against her better judgement, she threw caution to the wind and took it from him. After taking a swig, her face scrunched up and she was having a hard time swallowing. “Oh, how can you drink that?”

“You would have been better to know the area more during the day….it is somewhat nicer then and not as many undesirable characters are around then..” He laughed as she took a swig of the whiskey and saw how her face changed due to the taste. “It is an acquired taste.” He explained with a smirk as he took the flask back and took a sip of it. 

He put it back in his pcket and smiled before leading her out of the neighbourhood and more towards her home.

When he removed his arm, Elena wasn’t sure as to if she felt safer or not. He had the whole bad guy thing going on, but he didn’t seem like a threat. Smoothing out the front of her dress, she glanced over at the stranger and offered a small smile. “Thanks.” Perhaps she should have done a little more research before moving to an area where one block could transform into your worst nightmare. 

“Please? If you don’t mind. I’m new to the area, so I’m not really sure how to get back. Do you know where Glendale and Park is?” She asked, eyes flickering to the cigarette. A filthy habit, but she wasn’t one to judge. 

“I do…Why are you here if you live there?” He asked as he started to walk in the direction of where she lived, he knew the area well as he had broken into houses there to steal things in order to get money from time to time. “Girl like you should have looked into the neighbour hood more before coming out this way, you are lucky I came along and helped….someone else wouldn’t have.” Axel explained as he walked with her. 

He gave her another smile before pulling his flask out of his pocket and offering it too her. “Drink?”

Axel was roaming are the streets, a smoke in one hand and a flask of cheap whiskey in the other, he sighed as he looked around at what was normal for him. He took a swig of the whiskey, a sneer crossing his face as he saw someone on the side of the road shooting up.

As he walked past the person and towards his small house he raised his eyebrow as he noticed a group of men and what looked like a woman, as he moved closer he was surprised to see that she was rather pretty and in a bright pretty dress unlike the girls that were normally around this area. Axel put his smoke out and put his flask away before moving over to her and placing an arm around her shoulder.

“There you are babe, thought you had forgotten to meet me.” He said with a smile before kissing her cheek hoping she would play along with what he was doing as he looked over at the men. 

“Oh shit! Sorry!” Axel replied as he frantically wrapped a towel around his body and moved towards the door, closing it. “SORRY!” HE called out from behind the now closed door.
