Melissa walked to the door, opening it for whoever was outside. Outside stood a familiar male figure.
This man, I've seen him before. But where? It can't be him can it?
I took a step closer, identifying who he is and that was the point I realized, it's him. The man from earlier who attacked Melissa. What is he doing here?
Melissa invited him in, and with this those two stood face to face with me inside the home.
"Daniel look, I'm sorry but there is no other way."
The man reached for his pocket, where he pulled out a sharp knife. Easily capable of piercing skin and flesh.
The man took a step forward, and then one more to the point where he was sprinting forward. The knife was pointed at my heart.
At this moment. I decided to leap forward. By this action Melissa and the guy must be thinking the exact same thing, I knew it by their shared expressions.
They were thinking: what kind of idiot would go straight towards a knife?!
An expression such as that is natural, I mean anyone could see this as a reckless and idiotic action.
The blade got closer and closer for every moment, and with this, the blade was just an inch from my heart. I took an aggressive step. Letting the knife pierce straight through my skin and flesh, however. It stopped there. The knife wasn't able to reach my heart. At the exact right moment, I tightened and hardened my muscles with all my strength stopping the knife from going any further.
"D-daniel.. what are you.." the man used all his effort to get the knife through my heart. But due to his lack of strength he wasn't able to accomplish it.
"Mellisa, earlier I thought it was weird. Who openly invites a complete stranger to a private space? It didn't make any sense. I thought it was weird all along. So when I went to your home, I got here expecting a confrontation. And it seems like I was right. However you intended to kill me, not to hurt me so by this my blood is stained over that knife he wheilded. Listen, you guys' lives are over. The blade will be used as evidence to get you guys behind bars. I'll make sure the blade gets to the police station. "
Melissa nor him didn't find a word to reply with.
"…"
"Y-you bastard.. how dare you mess with us like that!" Melissa shouted out. It was unlike her, never did I think I would hear such an aggressive voice from her.
And with this, I reacted fast, outside the realm of anything Melissa nor the guy could comprehend and simultaneously in a single flash knocked him out and Melissa.
This would be it for today. I reached out to the knife which was thrusted into the skin and flesh outside my heart, and quickly drew it out. It was stained with my blood, a perfect situation.
So now, Melissa. I can't have you going to the juvenile detention center you see so ill have to deal with you, however he will be going to where he deserves.
I picked up Melissa on my right shoulder in a sweep, threw her into a closet and locked the door. She`ll be fine. After all, the one who knocked her out was me so she'll be unconscious for a while.
For you on the other hand. I'll let you be. The police will take care of you.
With this, I threw on my coat and headed straight to the police station. The knife was solid evidence there is no way they could let something like this slide.
When I arrived at the police station I got met by a few officers.
"Hello sir, how can we help- are you okay?.."
It seems like he noticed the blood stains on my shirt.
"medically im fine you dont have to worry about me. However, I would like to report a crime."
"What's your name sir?"
"Its daniel"
"Okay daniel, take a seat I will be calling an ambulance"
"But you don't need to.."
"Daniel even though you are probably under an adrenaline situation we can't just ignore all that blood on your shirt, an injury like that is life threatening. "
"I understand."
I'll go along with them for now since resisting would only cause long term harm.
"So Daniel what happened?"
"You see I was with a friend and just chilling you know? And suddenly a guy knocked on her door so I went to open it, and when I opened the door the guy rushed in and tried to stab me. Luckily my friend wasn't home when it happened so she is not injured. The attacker is laying on the floor in her house right now. And of course I have the knife with me here as evidence."
