Town: Join the Vipers
From Create Your Own Story
You decided to join the Vipers, after all, you do know a few members and despite their reputation, they are more of a family than a gang. After getting dressed and cleaning up the dishes, you head on over to the Deuces, a club that the Vipers are known to frequent.
To save some time, you decided to cut through the excuse of a park that belongs to the Fringe and were near the old playground when you heard some noises and what sounded suspiciously like a scream.
You recognize the screaming voice... It's Ashley, your friend Bobby's younger sister! You dash to where you heard Ashley last and you come to a small clearing to see three members of the Aces 360s surrounding her, reaching out and grabbing her. You run as fast as your legs can take you, and you fortunately come to them before they could rape her. You see red as you leap towards the men who you identify as Rocco, a tall, broad, blonde youth, Sam, a smaller but clever and shady looking brown-haired youth, and Dan, a tall, furious, and intelligent looking red haired man, around the same age as the others; some of the "enforcers" of the Aces 360s. You catch Rocco by surprise, pushing him, and since he was in the process of taking off his pants, they get caught around his ankles and he lets out a yelp as he falls. The rest turn towards you and start to rush, but you manage to push one off and elbow the other, putting yourself between them and Ashley. You take hold of her hand to help her up, awkwardly managing to keep yourself in front, never taking your eyes off the three men.
Rocco has managed to fix himself up, but he had a slight limp. He looks at you, furious, but Dan pushes him back and says "Look who we have here... I guess he thinks he's some kinda hero, huh?". Dan sneers to his friends and the other two laughed as Slim cracks his knuckles. You know that you and Ashley are outnumbered, but you are determined to get Ashley and yourself out of there. She looked faint and fragile, but determined to protect herself now that she had a chance. She was small and didn't look strong, but if she was anything like Bobby, it was a mistake to underestimate her. Her proud face and practical clothing said she was. You get ready, deciding to attack Dan, as he seemed to be the leader, and leave Rocco to Ashley as he was already injured. The three rushed at you again, and you managing to dodge Sam, throwing a strong punch straight at Dan. A loud thump sounded, and he roared at you, eyes closed and hands on his nose. Ashley had tripped Rocco, and was facing Sam, who you attacked from behind. You pull him back just before he punches Ashley, when Dan grabs you and pulled you into a lock, arms around your throat. Rocco lay moaning on the ground, and Ashley kicked Sam in the gut, but he just clenched his jaw and grabbed her and pulled her close, her long light brown curls swishing. Ashely reaches out to you and says something, but you are starting to lose focus. She's close enough to grasp your flailing hand, a quiet thank you for your help, even if it was in vain. Things sounded emptier, and the fringes of your voice were darkening, when suddenly...
