Chapter Six

His heart is screaming in pain, deep down cursing the day his mom left this world, he never felt more alone.

Roughly driving to his apartment, with an upset look written all over his face. The moment he walked I. his apartment he hurriedly went to his painting studio, the first thing that comes to sight is last night's painting that was ruined by that stubborn woman.

"Everything goes horribly wrong for me and I am not sure how long I can endure such pain, I don't know" Niall utters his frustration to himself.

If only he could freely go out there and meet people, interact and mostly feel free from all the torment then he definitely would, but his world is way too messed up to even show his face to the world.

After hours of contemplating his life led him to walk like a lost man in the streets of Girrabana, how could everyone have someone to rely on and he barely has anyone to talk to, all because of the stupid mistake he once did and the face he carries around with him.

Girrabana is said to be the most harmonious city in Ocrya and here he is left to stand forlorn. Niall gave up so much in his life just to get back what he once lost but nothing he does ever seems to be enough.

" Dreamer, redemption for our love

Darling, believers... that's just what we are,

smiles take our pain away

It's a beautiful life that can't drift apart

Where you see the light...

I will breathe by your side...

Take my hand... Reach for the stars... baby that's what love is all about ..."

The muffled song in a distance took Niall's attention and followed where it is coming from. The more he walked the more awkwardly dark the streets became, there were tons of people outside that were looking at him with scrutinizing faces.

A nervous feeling creeps on Niall's skin, though he is just meters away from where the music is coming from he realized he's better off If he left immediately, just as he turns around Niall bump into a thing, or should I say a person?

Taking a step back he notices that he is surrounded by men who look like they live hunting people like him to be precise. Who are they? What do they want?

" Who are you? Take off your mask buddy" who seems to be the leader growls with an intimidating voice.

Niall remains silent, he can do anything to leave here alive but not take off the mask and it's obviously not the best idea to tell them that. He takes a step back and bumps into another tall man looking like a bodybuilder, seems they have him cornered.

" Did you not hear what I just said?! Take off your mask, you can't just walk around these places with your fancy fragrance and expect us to leave you alone do you?"

" What do you want?.... I swear I'll give it to you, but.... Not the mask" He courageously tells him.

They all bark out with laughter as though Niall just dared them on something so dumb.

" Who do you think you are to make the rules" one of them takes steps toward Niall.

He can't let them see him, that would just raise curiosity and questions about his identity. Most of all his father would be more disappointed in him.

The first thing in his mind is to run as fast as he could, he can't fight any of them... he can barely kill a mouse, the only reason he goes to the gym is to match Miles's body build for public appearances.

" Over there!" Niall points to the dark alley and runs for his life when they turned to look at what he pointed to.

They are now raged to notice his run away and chase after him like a thief, he barely knows shortcuts around here so he has no other road to take other than the main road.

Who even knew such streets exist in Girrabana? I mean they could have warned poor Niall earlier. His only hope is to at least see a police car parked nearby and ask for help but this neighborhood seems dim compared to the rest of the places in Girrabana.

"If there is a perfect phrase to describe my situation then it will define be ' I am fucked', these guys are right behind me," Niall thought.

Taking a turn left, he spots a bright street not far from where he is, maybe they will back off on a spotlight, or at least that is what he hopes for right?.

Before Niall makes it to the other side of the alley, he trips and falls to the ground. "Argh!!!" Niall screams, his knee hurts pretty bad yet he tries to stand on his feet trying to finish the dark alley but he wasn't fast enough before they tackled him to the ground.

The next thing he knows, his whole face hurts. They whacked him hard on the head, guess running away just pissed them off beyond his imagination.

His whole body hurts and no one knows if he can hold on to this any longer, Niall just takes the blows helplessly.

" Hey!!!! Leave him now!... The police are on their way and you will all pay for this" a sweet voice shouts in a distance. "Mother?" Niall muttered, they stopped attacking him but his vision Is already getting darker.... " Sir... Sir are you okay-"
