[ WP ] In the dead of night a young girl meets an intimidating man with severe scarring . After the confrontation the man is the one who is afraid .

What would a little girl being doing all alone? Poor girl in the frigid air, drenched from head to toe and wearing a heavy purple coat over a wet, purple dress. 
 
 The dear child held a stuffed black cat in her arms, hugging it tightly. Why was this sweet child outside? `` It'll be okay, Dengo. We'll find mommy soon.'' She whimpered, her fingers and knees shaking as she walked down the dimly lit street. Her body was growing numb and her fear continued to grow. `` I hope we find her soon...'' 
 
 What happens when a man shows up? A dark brown coat and a scarf wrapped him in warmth as he walked with his hands in his pockets. His eyes were foggy and his physical state depicting his frail character. 
 
 When he saw the ill-fated child, a glare crept onto his face, revealing his bitter heart. `` Why the hell are you out, idiot?'' He growled. `` A girl your age could end up in the back of a van. You do n't want that do you?'' The old man stopped his walking and looked down to her. 
 
 `` Hello, sir! My name is Dawn Chiyo. I'm looking for my mommy.'' She smiled cheerfully, her teeth chattering quietly. 
 
 `` What the hell happened to you? Did you decide to take a swim? A bit cold for that.'' He mumbled under his breath. `` Hurry up and get your ass home.'' 
 
 `` Um... I do n't have one, sir...'' The sheepish voice looked down to her shoes and kicked a pebble off the sidewalk. 
 
 `` Oh, boo-hoo. Find yourself an orphanage or an emotional woman to tell your sob story to.'' He barked and pushed past her to keep walking for his own home. He could see the light orange of the small house now, no one waiting for him as usual. 
 
 `` Sir?'' *Oh no... more shit to deal with* The man thought. `` Would you like to play a game? It could be fun!'' The damsel asked, hope shining in her words. 
 
 `` No, you idiot. Go home.'' He replied and sighed deeply, his eyebrow furrowing. 
 
 `` But sir! I promise it will be so much fun!'' The little one was in no time right in front of the man and he scoffed. 
 
 `` I do n't play children games.'' He proceed down the street, thinking nothing more of the girl until a pair of red eyes appeared in a bush, low growls chipping away at the elder's sanity. 
 
 `` Dengo insists, sir. He wants a playmate.'' The child giggled as a black leopard walked out of the bush and the man's eyes widened. 
 
 `` D-Dengo?'' He stammered, his breathing growing faster and faster. This... This was a nightmare. This could n't happen. They lived in the city! The cat roared and the man stepped back slowly as to not disturb the fierce beast. `` C-call off your pet!'' What was he saying? This creature would eat her alive. 
 
 Another fit of giggles came from behind him. `` Dengo just wants a friend. He does n't bite. Let's play a game.'' 
 
 `` Fuck no! Just leave me alone!'' He yelled and started running straight for his house. His fragile body shook in fear and from fatigue as he opened the wooden door and slammed it behind him. 
 
 `` Oh! We're playing hide-and-seek? Okay! I'll count to ten! One... two...'' The little girl began. 
 
 `` Shut up! Go away!'' The man cried, plugging his ears with his fingers. How ridiculous. Why would cancelling out the noise help? He unplugged his ears and went into his bedroom, locking the door behind him. 
 
 `` Found you!'' Called a voice and when the poor elder looked back, he found the child from the street, her stuffed animal in her arms and the huge cat sitting next to her. `` I win!'' 
 
 `` Wh-wh-who... wh-what are you?'' He stuttered, his back against the door as his heart beating dangerously fast. 
 
 `` I'm Dawn Chiyo. Do n't you remember me?'' She asked, a frown on her face. 
 
 `` N-no...'' He whispered as he watched the big cat crawl forward. It was n't until then he noticed the girl's pale complexion and the glow surrounding her. 
 
 A sad smile came to the little girl's face as she spoke once more. `` I'm the little girl you pushed in the river and witnessed her journey down the rapids.''
