Kai looked at the darkness. He hesitated, worried that he would get beat if he walked in there. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fist.
'I need to be sure.' He said in his mind as he took the first step toward the darkness. After entering the alley, his footsteps reached the ears of the people that were beating someone there.
They stopped, then looked over at Kai, their eyes shining in the dark.
"Hey, who are you?" one of the men barked, his voice loud and threatening.
Kai didn't stop. He stepped ahead, balling his fist tighter as he tried to ensure he was calm. His heart raced. He wasn't a fighter, he wasn't someone that engaged in any conflict, but now he was walking right into a fight.
"Hey, seems like you want to die." one of the men said in anger, then he rushed at Kai, his heavy boots slammed against the hard ground.
He came into view, tall, bulky, dressed in full black, his skin covered in tattoos.
"You freaking brat!" he barked, throwing a straight punch at Kai.
