"Where am I? And what's this stinky smell?" a guy uttered to himself as he stood on the wet cobblestone, perplexedly scanning the dark surrounding.

To answer his own question, he walked out the narrow path into the main street where the air was a bit fresher but still considered a pungent smell to his nose. The night was late for the moon was already quite high on the clear, dark blue sky. Though the place wasn't crowded, there were still a few passersby. As he traipsed along the pavement, he noticed many eyes were staring at him. They were full of shock, confusion, and disbelief.

Don't look at me like that. I'm as confused as you. He thought to himself.

But it was hard to blame those people. After all, no one expected an abnormal tall guy with pointed ears and long, blonde hair that reached his waist to roam around the street. Not to mention the out-of-place ankle-length silver robe that was livelily fluttering behind him in rhythm with the gentle night breeze.

"I hate this place," he muttered under his breath and made a right turn into a road that had fewer streetlights and people.

"Okay, boss. I'm done now. Don't forget to come and lock the door." a lively boy in short, black hair shouted from the front door.

"Be there in a minute!" echoed a voice from the kitchen. "I'm sorry to keep you this late again, Zhan. I'll be sure to give you a bonus this month."

"Thank you so much, boss. I'm leaving now!" he cheerfully replied as he opened the door and stepped out into the silent street.

Wow. It really is late. He thought to himself as he quickened his steps. His house wasn't located in a secured area so he had to hurry and locked himself behind his small yet comfortable house.

Just then, he heard footsteps from behind him. He stopped and turned around to find no one in sight. Strange. He shook his head and resumed walking. But then again, the footsteps were also coming back. Gulping, he clutched his bag and started to run. However, he couldn't even make it far when a group of well-built men surrounded him.

"Well, well, well... what do we have here?" said the one in a sleeveless t-shirt, revealing his muscular biceps.

"Big bro, we've gotten ourselves a highschool boy. Must be tasty." said the guy on the right-hand side who was ogling at Xiao Zhan.

"I-I'm n-not a h-high s-cho-oler." Xiao Zhan stammered.

"All the better for we don't have to face harsh punishment later." smirked the big brother. "Well, that's if we get caught."

Everyone, except Xiao Zhan, started to laugh evilly. Not long after, Xiao Zhan found himself being pushed into the alley nearby. He fell on his butt with a thud as someone forcefully pushed him. He crawled back with his body trembling in fear. "Please, I don't have any money. You can check my bag." He was about to hand them his bag when the big brother said something that left his mouth dry.

"We're not interested in money, flower boy. We just want to have fun." the big brother approached him with his hands unbuckling the belt of his faded jeans.

"B-but I-I am a man!" Xiao Zhan tried his best to breath the word out.

"Well, blame it on yourself. Who asks you to have such a pretty face that can bring shame to women?"

Something cold touched Xiao Zhan's back. He didn't even have to turn back to look to know that it was a wall. He was trapped. The big brother dropped a belt to the ground and sniggered as he advanced towards the trembling Xiao Zhan.

"No, please. Don't do this. Please." begged Xiao Zhan. However, the big brother made no attempts to stop. He was now squatting in front of the younger guy. Xiao Zhan watched helplessly as the big hand was raised and reached towards him.

"Come to me, sweetie."

"Please, somebody help me." Xiao Zhan's voice came out as a whisper that sounded so weak for even his own ears to hear as he squeezed his eyes shut.

But it was heard.

"What do you filthy creatures think you are doing?"

A guttural voice reverberated from the opening end of the alleyway. Everyone turned to look at the nosy person who didn't seem to know his place.

Xiao Zhan peeked from his one open eye to see a silhouette of a tall man in...a long dress?! With a desperate sigh, he inwardly complained.

Great. Just what I need. How is this flamboyant loony going to save me now?
