**Well
Starry the fic is called Knight In
Shining Armour and Night Attack was the name of the first chapter so I’ve made
it clearer on the next chapter which is actually called Knight In Shining
Armour, hehe confusing.
And
sorry I haven’t updated this one as frequently as I said I would but I’ve been
really busy and on holiday to
*****Chapter 2*****
Knight In Shining Armour
Mark
I had been walking along taking a
night-time stroll. Night was one of the few times I could go out normally and
not get recognised. Now don’t get me wrong, I love the fans coming up to me and
talking to me but sometimes I just want some private time to myself.
I had been humming a new melody to myself
when I heard the terrified scream. It sounded like it had come
form the end of the street so I hurried along looking for the source of the
scream. I couldn’t work out where it had come from until I noticed the dark
side street. I could faintly see a man and a young woman and I saw them just as
he dealt her a hard slap.
I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, I was so angry I ran down the alley and grabbed the
attacker’s jacket. I threw him against the other side of the alley. I must say
I am never normally a violent person but he had got me so angry beating up a
poor young woman and I punched him. It must have been strong coz he staggered
to the left.
"Get out of here you scum!" I
growled and pushed him out of the alley.
I turned around and found the young woman
sitting on the floor hiding her head.
I helped her up and she looked so
vulnerable I just wanted to protect her from everything. I hugged her as she
began to cry softly and held her tighter as she began to sob. I whispered
soothing words and stroked her hair gently.
Eventually she stopped crying and looked
up at me with big eyes. Even in the dark I could see she was beautiful. I wiped
some stray tears off her cheek gently with my thumb and smiled at her.
Jo
I looked up at my knight in shining
armour. He was gorgeous was all I could think until I remembered why he was
holding me.
"Thankyou
so much," I said. "I don’t know what he’d have done if you hadn’t
turned up." I could feel my eyes filling up with tears again at the
thought.
"Come on don’t cry," he said
hugging me again. "I’m here now so you’re safe."
"I know," I mumbled from his
shirt.
"My name’s Mark by the way. What’s
your name?" Mark asked me.
"Jo," I replied.
"Well Jo I think I should take you
for a drink," Mark said releasing me from the hug.
"Oh no I don’t
drink," I said hurriedly.
Mark laughed quietly; "No I mean a
cup of tea."
"Oh right, then
let’s go," I said smiling at him.
My legs were still shaking from the attack
and my knees hurt from where I’d been pushed over so Mark put his arm round my
waist to support me as we walked along.
The first cafe we came to was five minutes
walk away. We’d been talking on the way, well Mark had been talking and I’d
listening. My head still was throbbing slightly form where it had been hit
against the wall. When we came into the cafe I was shocked as I saw myself in
the mirror. My hair was all coming out of the neat bun it had been in for work.
The bottom of my cheek was an angry red and I had blood smeared down my chin
from a small cut on my lip. My shirt and skirt were ok but then I had two
massive holes in the knees of my tights. One knee had a deep graze that was
bleeding.
"I look like I’ve been in the
wars," I said as we sat down as I absently tried to rub the blood off my
chin.
"Well you have," Mark said
seriously, looking at me with gorgeous green eyes. "Wait there a minute
I’ll be right back."
While he was gone I ordered two teas and
they were on the table just as Mark came back.
"Right lean across the table,"
he said waving a damp tissue at me.
He leant across the table aswell so our faces were only centimetres apart. He gently
dabbed my chin but as he caught my lip I winced in pain.
"I’m sorry," Mark said.
I shook my head, "Carry on."
His face was only centimetres away and he
was concentrating on my chin so I sat watching him. He was so handsome, the
light meant I could see him clearly and he was even more gorgeous than I had
thought. He was also brave for coming to my rescue and he was being very kind
and caring. I carried on watching as he made sure he didn’t touch my sore lip
again.
As he finished he looked up at me and
caught me looking at him. I had the urge to kiss him.
