How great was this? Candi's body was almost completely relaxed when she suddenly felt possessive arms snake around her waist, tightening.
"Devon, I told you already! Now let g--!" Candi shouted before harsh, demanding lips shoved against her own. Her eyes widened and she tried to push her apart from Devon, but to no avail. When the *ssh*le finally parted she gasped for air.
She was forced against the wall. Her body proving immobile when Devon's body, being much heavier and stronger than she was, trapped her. "Stop it Devon! What the **** do you think your DO--!?" Candi screamed, trying once again to push the b*st*rd away from her, even hitting him as hard as she could. But when it didn't even make him budge she resorted to desperate measures. When she tried to knee him, or stomp his foot with her own high-heeled shoe, she couldn't. His firm legs trapping her own pair.
Tears started springing from the corner of her eyes. For the first time in her life, she felt useless. She felt utterly powerless. And for the first ever time, Candi Destina Ramirez needed help.

Where in the world is Francis?! This is HIS job!!
Running down the steps of Flair Nightclub and into the frosty night air, Zack looked right and left for the pair he had seen leaving the bar. The sky was starless, clouds blotting out the light from the stars and almost all of the luminous moon.
"Candi!" The shout tore from his mouth and was stolen away by the wind, unheard by everyone else. He couldn't find them, he couldn't see anyone that looked like her, and he didn't see anything suspicious.
Of course, smart one, he'll have taken her into some alleyway or something. Still unsure if he was just imagining the hungry glint in Devon's eyes as he walked out after Candi, Zack started to run across Djan Street, checking every corner and every place with less than normal light for the girl he was starting to be thoroughly obsessed with.

ooc: *bonks you with carrot once again* AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I TLD U, U ARENT LIVING IT DOWN! GYAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAH!!
"Candi!"
A shout she thought she had imagined, but hope she didn't, entered Candi's ears. Someone was actually coming to help her!
As soon as Devon parted away from her now bruised lips to gasp for breathe "HELP! SOMEONE! HELP!" she screamed at the top of her lungs before the lips she had come to despise crashed down on her own. Streaks of tears spilling from her eyes, over and over again.
Why did this have to happen today? This is going to scar deeply, she was sure. After all, this day WAS the same day that her father had passed on to the next world. God, she was going to hate this day, hate it till the day her own soul left this world. Her body was getting numb, and her mind suddenly became fuzzy. Her eyelids trying to keep themselves open.
Then, Candi was met with a curtain of darkness.

There.
Zack whipped around, dimly aware of Francis shouting after him as the bouncer came out of the nightclub's restroom. He was sure that her voice came from the second alley to the right... no?! Not there?! He ran down the alley, stopping as the stench of garbage cans in it overwhelmed him, and then heard a muffled voice and turned.
In a dark corner, almost as if it had been dug into the brick wall, stood Candi and the thug who had been with her.
Honestly, if people like this work at D'Artagnan I'm not sure that place is so respectable anymore. That was his last thought as the anger blinded him and Zack shot forward, throwing a surprised Devon out on the alley ground.
Not a surprised Devon for long.
He looked around frantically as the man stepped closer, easily five inches taller than Zack or maybe more. He grabbed a tin can from the garbage and aimed, years of softball practice for the school varsity team coming back to his muscle memory as the can thunked solidly just below Devon's eye, making a deep cut.
But Zack knew that wouldn't stop the guy, and he tried at least to shield himself from the beating he knew that would follow. Francis could take this guy out, piece of cake for him, but it would be too late before he found this alley like Zack had, and all he could do was cast one last agonized look at Candi before Devon lifted his arm back and swung his fist at him.

'What the heck...' Francis thought frantically, seeing as Zack had disappeared from his view. He had only taken a small leak in the bathroom before finding the club's bartender running quickly from alley to alley. 'What's that kid thinking? Boss is going to kill him for this...' he thought snarling internally.
Francis continued to chase after Zack in the direction he thought he had gone. Searching several alleys he had almost given up when he found Zack, collapsed on the ground, bruised and bloody. Apparently he was punched by a guy who obviously had an advantage. Francis shoved the guy away from the kid and slammed him into the far end wall of the alley. He gripped the stranger's collar tight as he lifted his own arm and punched the lights out of the thug.
"What was he thinking!?" Francis snarled, frustrated. He walked over to Zack leaning over him. Out of the corner of his eye, Francis saw a shadowy figure. It was one of...a girl? Obviously knocked out cold. Francis quirked his eyebrow in interest as a conclusion was drawn to his mind.

Zack tried to stand and made the fatal mistake of wiping his eyes with the back of his hand. Touching badly bruised skin, he winced as a line of fiery pain shot up his face. "We'd better take her to the hospital or something, if she's hurt," he said quickly, forgetting that maybe he needed to get to the emergency room himself, and flexing all his limbs to make sure nothing was broken. His left arm hurt with a steady, sharp pain, and Zack knew it was at least a bruised muscle and at worst a broken bone. Groaning with the effort it took to get back on his feet, he limped over to where Francis was.
"Yeah, and I'm fired, right?" At least that meant he was able to grin up at the bouncer, with a black eye and one thoroughly beaten-up body. It didn't make a pretty picture. "She okay?"

Looking over at Candi, Francis nodded "Other than a couple of bruises on her arms and face, she's fine. You on the other hand, are a different story." he replied "Are you going to be ok alone for a while? I'm gonna go call the ambulance." Francis facing Zack with an a face void of emotion, even if it was though he was worried for the kid.

He was about to protest, "No, I'm okay, I'll just go home and ask Mom to fix me up..." but once he opened his mouth to talk, Djan street spun and swung to decorate the sky, stars dotting the black asphalt--He closed his eyes and stumbled, bumping into the wall and almost laughing with how giddily dizzy he felt. "Uhhh, yeah. I guess that's a good idea." Sitting down again--sitting down hard--he let himself just lean against the wall and not think for a second. "Francis, Fair Nlightclub is on fire," he mumbled, trying to clear his head and failing.

Francis sighed, shaking his head. ''He's such a pain...' and with that he quickly ran to the Nightclub to call for help. He hadn't realized it before but the alley was pretty far from the club. Not that it mattered. Zack and that girl needed help, and help they would get.
Candi groaned in pain as hey eyelids slowly parted. Her arms and legs felt like a ton and her head was getting a serious migraine. Before her eyes could open completely, her sight blurred once more and she fell into a world of pure black.

"Candi?"
He raised his head off the wall, and then let it fall back again when she gave no reply. Probably blacked out again. Slipping a hand into his pocket, Zack felt for the small token he had made for her--it was just a keychain, wood-carved with a picture of Aladdin and Jasmine from Disneyworld, but he had engraved Candi's name on the bottom...and he had left a space for his own. Just in case.
"You'll probably think this is extremely kiddy."
He tossed the keychain over to where her body was, happy and content when it landed within her reach. Smiling faintly, he leaned back and closed his eyes.
"But yeah, you won't be offended, will you? You'll just laugh...one of the things I like about you."
He opened the eye that hurt the least, checked to see if the world was normal again, and was glad to notice that nothing was twisted and weird again.
"...there's a lot of things I like about you..."
It's not as if she'll ever hear, so quit worrying. Eyelids fluttering shut, Zack drifted off to sleep lightly.

Candi shuddered, memories flashing themselves before her eyes.
"Why so sad princess?" a soft voice echoed within her mind. It was her father's. A 3 year old Candi looked up into the deep brown eyes of the man, pouting and tears streaking down her cheeks. Her father gently carried her, laying her on his lap. "Does it hurt angel?" he asked, worried etched into his tone, while pointnig at the wound on Candi's knee. She nodded as a reply, sniffling.
"Sweety please don't do this." her father sighed
"No! I don't wanna!" a young Candi whined as she firmly clasped the fence.
"Honey, school won't be so bad." he said, trying to reassure his daughter
"But I want to be with you." Candi replied
There was a pause before, "How about this? After school we'll spen the rest of the day together. What do you say?"
"Really?" she asked, letting go of the fence and facing her father with a wide smile, earning a nod from him.
"YEY! I love you daddy!"
"Love you too pumpkin."
The sound of an ambulance. The flash of red light. It was horrible, absolutely devastating. Seeing her father, lying inside the car. His face as white and pale as snow. Blood trickling down from his forehead. His eyes bloodshot. And his entire body severed, trapped within the vehicle.
All these event she tried forgetting, reappered in front of her. Candi whimpered, curling herself into a ball; tightly hugging herself. More tears riding down her face.
She looked like she did when she didn't get up from the corner of the room, after her father's death. It took her a full month to be able to face the outside world again, childish for a 23 year old sure. But she didn't care though, the pain that clenched in her heart for losing a loved one hurt more than anything in the world. And she hoped above all things that she would never feel like that again.
ooc: I wudve made more memories but...nahhhhhh ;D
