Chapter 3

A burglar turned dropping a jewelry box in his bag, and his jaw dropped seeing two girls had just caught him. I was pissed he was trying to rob me, and that he scared Akira. He looked like he was thinking up a way out of the situation so I gave him one. “Drop the stuff, leave my house and don't look back or I'll have to hurt you and call the cops” I said in a monotone dangerous voice. He just stood there the same way, unmoving. So I began counting down telling him he has ten seconds to do as I ask. When I got to eight, he dropped the stuff and began moving slowly toward us. “STOP!” I commanded, I told him not to take another step until his hands were raised where I could see them. He obeyed. “Akira, move over behind me,” I told her, and as she did the burglar sprinted over and grabbed her holding a knife in his hand. “Bad idea.” I said

“Is it? I'm in charge now little girls.”

“Is that so, I know who you are and your best bet of escaping would be going after the one by the escape who knows your identity and will talk.”

“You don't know me.” he said a little nervous shifting his weight to the other foot and his hands shook slightly, whether from fear or anger I wouldn't know and didn't care.

“Is that so, are you really going to take that risk or are you willing to trade hostages?” I offered, he adjusted his mask lower on his face and waited trying to stare me down. I think he was hoping for me to admit a bluff. To bad for him I would never do that, even worse for him is that, I'm not bluffing.

He grew shaky and told me he was dangerous. I stood unmoved and told him the same. I warned him if he hurt Akira he would regret it for the rest of his life. I offered his freedom to leave, for our stuff and Akira's safety, or a switch in hostages. He agreed to neither and accidentally pressed a little to hard on the knife. Akira squealed and I saw one drop of red blood fall onto the floor from under her jaw bone. “AHH, you IDIOT!” I yelled like a maniac screaming at him running through the kitchen grabbing a butchering knife and circling the room I dashed to his back yelling and cursing at him. He scanned the room searching for me, responding that if I don't show myself Akira's life will be in danger. “Hello.” I said calm again, right behind him with a butcher knife's point touching his back right behind his heart. He froze unsure of what to do. “Drop your knife,” I said putting a little pressure.

“You wouldn't kill me” he said, “I've done no real harm to you or your friend, so you couldn't really kill me?

“OH NO! You have done plenty,” I started to list things putting pressure on the knife with each thing I said, “One: you tried to rob us,(added pressure) Two: you scared Akira,(more pressure) Three: you hurt Akira,(knife makes slight hole in his shirt) Four: You left us, shall I continue DAD!” I screamed, and added just enough controlled pressure to make an equal dent that he did to Akira.

“Alright Mika,” he said, “don't be rash now” and he dropped the knife, but I did not.

“Too late! Akira step away” I begged her. She ran obediently behind me making a wide circle around her captor. I looked at her with the side of my left eye and asked her. “Are you okay?”

“I'm fine Mika” she clung to me.

“Akira go to the kitchen and call the cops before I kill this man and be quick, I promise he won't hurt you.”

“Okay.” She nodded and hesitated for a half a second then ran through the back and went to the kitchen to make the call.

I instructed the burglar to get down on the ground, with his hands behind his back. He did as asked begging to be let go and that I would never see him again. I stayed silent thinking of this and then told him no. I explained that I wanted to see him again. He tried to interrupt saying how I was his little girl and he knew I still loved him. I yelled at him to stop sucking up and that was the farthest thing from my mind. I have no one I consider a parent to me! I wanted to see him so I knew he was put away, to live his life in misery. To see me live and to know I'll never forgive him but I will forget him! I wanted to see the pain on his face that he has caused to countless people, and for ever, EVER thinking of touching someone who I protected. He lay there lying to my face trying to convince me to let him go. I said nothing more to him. The only move I made was placing my knee on his back and keeping the knife under steady pressure until the police arrived.

As he was being taken under arrest I smiled and said two last words to him. “For Akira!” I laughed. And at last they all left after questioning us. I got Akira and I some drinks from the kitchen and a band-aid for her little cut. I apologized for what happened and told her she was always safe with me. She didn't question me about any thing that happened or anything I said. We finished the day as planned and she soon eased up and let the incident rest in her mind. Never to have to think about it again. Akira was a magnet for bad luck and evil people. It followed her everywhere but she never was in fear because I was always there to help her out of anything. That night she spent the night at my place.

We got on line and logged onto our joined myspace. We typed in the bar above the address for our site http://www.myspace.com/mika_akira, when we got there we had a new friend and added them. Next we saw we had some messages from some jerks from school. There were taunting us about how they saw us on the news and we deserved to be robbed from. We deleted all of their messages and quickly logged off. I was so sick of people being so immature and annoying thinking they can get away with that stuff. Just wait till something happens to them, then they will see how hard it is. I was really quite scared for Akira back there. I didn't know what he'd do, I just had to think faster to get her free. I had no regards for myself I could only think how scared Akira was and that it was 'him' who was doing it to her. I decided we better go to bed, I wanted to forget this day because it doesn't matter since we are both safe....for now.

**I am hoping for about 4 or 5 votes for the next chapter THANX**
