Sephira was making her way to work, taking the long way today as she needed the walk, when she happened to see who she thought was Karla walking away from the warehouses. Curiosity peeked her interest and she made her way over, trying not to be seen by Karla as she didn't want to seem as if she were stalking her or anything. She made her way through the area, backtracking where Karla had come from, making her way into one of the abandoned warehouses.
Something told her not to go in, but her curiosity go the best of her and she did anyway. She slowly opened the door and poked head inside to see a man laying mangled on the floor. She gasped and ran over to him, "Oh my god, are you okay?!" She cried out as she looked him over.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked at her in a daze, "W-where is she? Where did that bitch go?" He choked out. She looked at him quizzically, "Where is who?"
"Karla!" He yelled as loud as he possibly could in his condition. She tensed up and moved back away from him, "You don't seem like a victim to me..." She spat at him as she started to get up. He grabbed her leg, making her trip and fall, hitting her head onto the floor. She sat up, kicking her foot loose from his grasp with her free leg, and standing back up. She was a bit dizzy from hitting her head, but managed to recover a minute later.
She shot the man a dirty look, but he had already passed back out on the ground after she had kicked him off. She stormed back out of the warehouse and around the corner to try and get back to the streets, only to run into the guys friends.
"Hey there, cutey. You wouldn't happened to have seen a friend of ours around here anywhere, would ya? He was out having a good time with a dark haired woman. Ya seen either of them?" The taller of the two asked her as he closed the distance between him and her with a grin. She was starting to feel uncomfortable, and it got even worse as the second guy made his way behind her to block her exit.
"You know, why don't you come with us to look for him. Maybe we can have ourselves a good time while we're out here..." The guy behind her spoke as he came up and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, not giving her any room to run. "I-I'm sorry, but I really can't help you. I need to get to work. I'll be late..." She sounded frightened. She looked like it too.
It seemed as if the men weren't even listening to her though as they dragged her back around to look through the warehouses, after a few coming back across the one the man they were looking for was in. The two drug her back over to them as the made their way over to him, laughing and chuckling at the state he was in, "Damn dude, you got beat up by a girl?! Such a sad excuse for a man." The taller of the two said as he pushed him in the side with his foot, getting a small grunt out the mangled man on the floor. The other guy, who still had his arm around Sephira shoulder, merely chuckled and ran his finger down Sephira's cheek, making her pull her head away sneering, "Maybe he just has horrible luck picking up the right girl, unlike us."
"Well, you found him, can I go now?" Sephira asked, agitated. The two men looked at her with an amused look, "You don't think we brought you with us just to find him, did you?" The taller of the two asked as he grinned evilly at her, pulling her over to him by her hair as she tried to escape the other man's grasp, making her yelp in pain.
She wanted to shift and run away, but just as she was getting ready to do so, she felt a hard blow to her stomach and crumpled over in pain. The taller man looked to the other guy and grinned, "Grab her, I'll grab him. Let's get them back to the hideout. I'm pretty sure everyone's gonna have a field day with this..."
She was powerless as she attempted to catch her breath, unable to push the man away as he grabbed her and threw her over his shoulder. The taller one did the same with the mangled guy on the floor and they both made their way out and were heading to wards the town through the alleyways.

Guilt. She hated guilt.
Karla hung her head, and clenched her fists. No! that bastard deserved what she gave him. But it was so hard for her to make herself believe that. She had hurt him. Badly. And besides maybe she could have reasoned with him after all. Maybe he was right about her and she was holding back too much. She had always been a bit too timid when it came to intimacy. She wasn't the ONLY one in the relationship anyway. He had a say too. Maybe... maybe she had overreacted. Yes. She had been too cruel and she should have given him something. Anything. Maybe she should have been more open--
Karla he tried to rape you, she thought angrily.
But it wasn't enough. She released her fists and shook herself briskly. What a stupid girl she had been. How silly she felt now that her anger and her adrenalin had gone down, for hurting him over something so silly. So trivial. She sighed and adjusted her jacket over her shoulders. She couldn't let him die there.
She turned on her heel, slowly, stiffly. God she didn't want to face him again.
Her eyes widened against the setting sun. Was that--
"Sephira?"
she whispered, thinking for a half second before setting off in a dead run from standing completely still. Almost impossibly so. She ran into the crowd and bent her arm, lifting it high above her head, as they laughed and pointed at her, slamming her elbow into the face of the man carrying Sephira. He dropped her with a yelp and his dark curse was cut short as Karla drove her foot into his chest where his diaphragm was.
The other man looked shocked but his macho-mentality over powered his sense of prudence and he advanced on her. She stood and twisted her body so her shoulder was facing him and therefore making her a smaller target. He stepped forward, reaching towards her. She grabbed his wrist. He was a bit smarter, and swung a club like arm so it broadsided her in the face. she faltered and her grip loosened. Blood trickled down her nose and she stared him down. He smiled wolfishly, moving forward again. Karla curled her fingertips inward, exposing the hard part of her palm and jammed it up with a lightning fast jab, stunning him, and took him down with a swift kick in the groin.
"Lets go Sephira." she said, grabbing her by the arms and pulling her away, near to the main road.

All she knew was she was being carried and then moments later was dropped to the ground with a thud, landing hard on her butt and letting out a yelp. She was still trying to catch her breath from the jab in the stomach, and so she wasn't paying attention to Karla beating up the two men.
She was forced to her feet and drug along by Karla, trying her best to keep up with her, "K-Karla?" She breathed, hearing her voice. It was reassuring to hear her voice again. She thought she'd never hear it after those few moments of holy terror.
Once they were a ways away from the men, she looked up to Karla with an apologetic frown, "I-I'm so sorry Karla. I was just on my way to work and I saw you coming out of the warehouse and-" She was cut off by a need of oxygen, which she inhaled too much of too fast and was left coughing instead. She couldn't run anymore. She begged for Karla to stop by pulling on her hand and leaned against a brick wall, sliding down to sit. She took a few moments to catch her breath again.

Karla wanted to keep going; she was determined to get Sephira home. Her nerves were frayed almost into oblivion by this point, her heart aching with the thought of what might have happened. She needed to put a bell on this kid or a beeper or a return address or something.
But Sephira was having a helluva time. They hurt her bad enough she was panting and gasping for breath. Karla kept a protective frame around Sephira, clamping her hands on each of her arms to help lower the girl to the ground. There was a lot more traffic here so they were likely safe for a bit. Sephira needed a rest.
"What were you thinking?"
she demanded, looking down at her young friend, as if she were going to yell some more. Her anger soon moved past her though and she merely shrugged her shoulders, sliding down the wall beside Sephira, and hugging her tightly. Protectively.
"From now on I drop you off and pick you up from work. Do you understand me?" she hugged Sephira tightly, never wanting to let go. "I am not losing you Sephira."
