[ 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 .

He walks slowly, shuffling left and right as if he's drunk. He probably is and, to be fair, he might have his reasons. Life's been hard on him, the poor fucker. His wife of 15 years left him three months back, taking his two daughters away with her and leaving a shitload of debt to be paid off by your hero, who was meanwhile recovering in the burn injury unit of a shitty - but costly - local hospital. Not that he was perfect, no, but he loved his wife and his daughters. He wanted all the best for them, or he would n't have tried to rob that bank. The rush of the heist, the getaway, the accident. It was all so surreal, it was as if he was not there, not really, not him. But, alas, he was, and the burns, they still hurt now that they are mostly healed. 
 
 The alley is dark, he likes it that way. Dark and silent, with a touch of piss in the air to warm up the heart. They should have sent him to jail, they would have done him a favor, but they thought that his desperation and his injuries were payment enough for what he took, and the money had burnt away, along with his skin. Horrible, you would call him if you saw him. A joke of nature, an example of the bias of life towards misery. Yet there she was, looking at him from behind those crystal blue eyes. 
 
 Small as a bird, beautiful as an angel, her wavy blonde hair covering her shoulders and hiding the side of her face just enough to make your heart skip a beat when you realize what's beneath. Her body, slender and small, but that of a woman already grown enough to seduce a man, to take him down the hellish road to perdition and back to heaven in a single night. Her tears, they're the kind of thing that seal the deal, running tenderly down her cheeks and over her lips, inside her mouth. Her beautiful lips, her inviting mouth. 
 
 A man could lose his mind, seeing a girl like this all alone in a dark place such as that piss-smelling alley, and a girl like her in a situation like that should, by all means, loose her shit completely upon seeing the hellish landscape that some cruel god decided to paint on the canvas of our man's face. A man that's lost it all, and has nothing to look forward to other than a glorious hangover and a beating headache, accompanied with the smell of his own vomit on his stained clothes. And yet, he cares. 
 
 `` What are you doing here, young lady? ``, he asks, covering his face under the hood of his shirt, hoping that it's dark enough to make his looks go unnoticed. But is voice is rough, the fire will do that to you. 
 
 `` I'm... I'm lost. They wanted me so bad...'', she says, bringing one hand to her face to wipe away a heavy tear. 
 
 `` Who did? Did they hurt you?''. He's worried. He's angry. He wants to beat up the world for what they did to her. For what it's done to him. 
 
 `` Two lowlifes, a couple of blocks back. They wanted to take me with force, against a dumpster... I...'', she takes a breath, sniffles a bit. 
 
 `` I'm going to beat the shit out of them. Come with me, I'll take you somewhere...'' 
 
 `` Where? ``, she interrupts, eagerly. 
 
 `` Somewhere safer than here. Someplace where there's people, so you can call a cab to take you home and wait for it without worrying that some scumbag will rape you''. He's rough in they way he talks to her, but he's kind. 
 
 `` Oh...'', she seems disappointed. `` So, you're not going to *take* me then?''. A sly smile forms on her face. 
 
 `` W..what?'' 
 
 `` Fuck me, you disfigured circus freak. They were going to, but then I began to beg for it and they got confused. I was very disappointed, they made me cry''. Her smile is explicit, her voice lustful. `` Or I am I going to cut you open like those useless fuckers back there and take a souvenir of you with me?''. She moves closer to him, the light showing some dark stains on her shirt. He takes a step back, but the wall's ready to hug him. 
 
 `` You... you're insane, leave me alone!'' 
 
 `` Why? We're just getting to know each other''.

 This was a fantastic prompt, thank you! I hope that I was n't too explicit, I had to go back and cut away a whole paragraph because it was becoming a little bit too much. It did fit in there and made the resolution a bit better, but what the hell: ) 
 
 Hope you enjoy!
