Barked!

"Well it seems this is the end of the road for you, it's either we do this the easy way or we do it the hard way. Either way we must get what we want."

The tall muscular man with a hoodie on said. He seemed to be their leader.

"You really should let us go so that no one gets hurt!" Drake warned looking confidently at the man standing with a dog.

"Hahaha very funny, you are outnumbered. Besides what really can a lady do?"

"You really don't wanna find out." Drake replied the man, but his utterance had pissed off the leader of the group, he pulled out the gun from his jacket and pointed it at Drake. This got me furious. 'Kill! Trouble! Drake!' Kira said around. I struggled to keep myself together but my canines were almost out, I could hear myself growling in rage, my fists clutched firmly against each other ready for my claws to be out.

"Oh wow, you seem angry that the gun is pointed at your boyfriend. Maybe I should point it at you." The man said. He was coming closer and closer, his confidence was building up, he was certain that he had the upper hand.

"Billy search him!"

The man who seemed to be the most timid pushed Drake's hands up and searched his pockets. He brought out some dollar notes from his right pocket, his phone and a pen from his other pocket.

"What's this?" Billy asked after bringing out the few things in Drake's pocket.

"Well it seems your boyfriend has nothing much on him, how about you?" The leader signaled to the other man pointing the gun at Drake. He noticed that Drake tried to make a move when he signaled to the man to search me. I had a handbag hanging on my shoulder, the man snatched it from me and opened it forcefully almost tearing it apart.

"Don't touch her you full!" Drake was furious but cautious at the same time with the gun pointing at his face. He moved a bit forward with his hands behind his head.

"Oh wow, what do we have here!"

The leader of the gang moved forward and extended his left hand towards Drake's neck, his other hand holding on to the trigger of the gun ready to pull at any provocation.

"What a nice piece you have here."

The man pulled it off Drake's neck making him to bend with the pain of the hard drag.

I knew how much Drake cherished the necklace; the only thing that he had from his family except for the strange book and the cloths he had on when I met him. I had to do something. Kira needed to do something. My fury escalated and I growled with intense rage.

The man who snatched my bag from my shoulder turned it upside down, pouring the contents to the floor, he bent down slowly and picked my father's phone, mine and the few dollar bills I had inside.

"Not much but manageable." He said putting the items inside his pocket.

The dog beside the man looked right into my golden eyes, his eyes meeting mine sent shivers into it making it to whimper. Soon it started to bark continuously without control.

"Quiet Gunner!" The leader said still pointing the gun at Drake holding on to his necklace with his other hand but the dog persisted shaking its head and moving back with intense fright. I could feel its shaky heartbeats.

The dog got really terrified as my eyes glowed in the darkness, only it knew exactly what was happening. It turned towards its left and ran off.

"Come back boy! Gunner!" The man screamed but the dog was far off, speeding away into the road.

"What did you do to my dog? You bitch!"

"You really should let us go!" I warned not so sure of how long I could keep up with the rage growing inside of me.

"Or what? What are you gonna do? Beat us? Common!"

The other man who held up a dagger said smiling with his teeth exposed. He moved very close to me touching my hair, his breath hovering all over my face as we breathed hard.

"I could have a taste, I promise I won't bite." He said leaning so much close to me, I couldn't hear the stench of his breath which hit hard on my face as he spoke. Taking a glance at Drake I could see he was tired of keeping his hands up. Kira so much wanted to sink her claws into the men's neck 'Let me out!' She screamed from inside my head forcing me to hold on to it with both of my hands.

"Oh what now, you are scared? Oh now, you would enjoy it I promise." The other men laughed as the man standing close to me said mockingly. He sure didn't know what he had gotten himself into.

"Hey you, go down!" Drake was hit on both of his legs by Billy and we gradually went down on his knees, his hands still up and the leader of the gang still holding up the gun to his face.

That was it! I was fed up 'Kira have your way!' I let her take charge. Willingly she took over!

Grabbing the man close to me by his collar I turned him upside down, making him to hit his back on the rough ground. Then I turned towards the leader and knocked the gun out of his hand.

"Oh wow, the bitch is feisty!" He seemed to be excited. Running his face with his left hand, he made his move towards me to grab my neck but he was very slow. I grabbed his hands and pushed him away, he hit his back on the wall close by.

Drake got up immediately seeing that the gun was no longer pointed to his face. Billy tried to hold him down but he hit him hard on his right chin with a heavy blow.

"Who the hell is this bitch?" The leader of the gang barked. He seemed not to have had enough yet. Getting hold of himself, he clutched his fists together bouncing as he moves towards me.

"Really?" I said. I couldn't understand why he would want so much for me to kick his ass. The other man I had hit hard on the floor had not yet gotten himself but the leader seemed to be in the mood for some beating.

"You broke my jaw! Aaaw!" Billy cried out holding on to his mouth. Drake stood firmly looking at him ready to give him another punch if he approached. Billy seemed to understand the situation, he stepped backwards and became a viewer.

"Get up Jack! Get up!." But the man who had snatched my bag was still on the floor not so eager to get up.

"Well seems I have to finish this myself."

The leader rushed at me pushing his right hand in an attempt to land a punch on my face but again he was slow. I grabbed his hand and twisted it to his back.

"Ooh! My hand. Let me go now!"

"You scream like a woman. Quiet." I said softly still holding on to his hand. He moved the other hand towards my face but I was faster. I bent down dodging his hand, then I kicked him hard on his legs forcing him to kneel. I was really fast to his astonishment.

"Let him go you bitch!" Jack was pointing a gun at me. Apparently he picked up the leader's gun from the floor.

But he was not so cautious. Drake picked up a metal pipe reclining on the wall and hit him on the neck. He sprawled to the floor completely knocked out.

Billy saw this and ran off immediately without looking backwards.

"Come back here Billy! You can't leave me here!" The leader screamed still on his kneels.

"So much for getting beat up by a woman yeah!"

"Let me go! You bitch! You will pay for this!" He still spoke so much. I got tired of him talking.

I dragged him towards the wall and pinned him on it facing him towards me. Then I jacked him up and growled, my eyes shining brightly under the moonlight.

"Who the hell are you!" He got scared, struggling to free himself from my grip. I lifted him higher, his head inches above mine, he held on to his neck as I choked essence out of him.

"You are killing me!" His eyes were bulging out of his eye sockets, his mouth gasping for eye as I held on to his neck.

"Lyla!" Drake called out to me, forcing me to fall back to myself. I threw the man towards my left, he hit his body hard on the wall and passed out.

Gradually, I got hold of myself, my canines went back and my eyes dimmed out slowly.

"Are you ok?" Drake asked coming close to me. My breath was fierce as I struggled to send Kira back.

"I am fine. Are you ok?"

Drake nodded and hugged me. Letting go of me after a few seconds, he moved towards the leader and took his necklace, then he put it back on. We picked the rest of our items and headed home.
