The two underdogs grinned widely as they held up the bag of money, hearing the clink of the coins as they moved it around. [i]"You got the money, now let me go"[/i] the girl said. All three of them laughed in unison, until she spat in the leader's face. The alleyway fell into harsh silence. Gabriel almost snorted from laughing, but he held it back and stayed quiet. It was about time to make his entrence. [i]"Now look here, you wench... I've been nice, I've given ya a chance to do as I say, but you repay me with this?"[/i] he says angrily, his jaw clenching and his grip of her wrist tightening. [i]"Why I oughta show you--"[/i] [color=DCDCDC][i]"Let her go, dog."[/i][/color] said Gabriel, stepping out from behind his corner. All three of them turned to him in surprise. He wasn't exactly a tall fellow and he was hiding behind his hood so he didn't exactly instill fear... But the three did feel an unease when looking upon him. They looked at each other, as if oblivious as to why they couldn't feel his scent until now. [color=DCDCDC][i]"Let her go."[/i][/color] he said again. The leader pulled down his hood, revealing a shaved head, disaligned teeth and a big malformed nose, probably having healed in an odd angle after an injury. He even had a scar running through his left eyebrow. Combined, it all made him look quite ugly. [i]"And who the fuck are you supposed to be?!"[/i] he said, angrily. Obviously annoyed with the disturbance. Gabriel responded with pulling down his own hood, which made the two underdogs back off. [color=DCDCDC][i]"Step away."[/i][/color] he said, taking a step towards them. The leader let go of the girl, but didn't back off. He instead took a few steps forward, coming up face-to-face with Gabriel... And he was a good foot taller than Gabriel was. [i]"What are you gonna do about it, pup?"[/i] the disfigured thug said. The underdogs twitched as they heard him say it. They beckoned him to step away. [i]"The hell man, you know who this is! We gotta go man!"[/i] one of them said. [i]"Yeah bro that's Streetfang's alpha."[/i] said the other. The leader snarled at them. [i]"Cowards! He's nothing but a--"[/i] he began, but was interrupted with Gabriel putting a hand on his chest and a foot behind his legs, pushing forward. The big man fell backwards on his ass onto the wet concrete backalley ground. Gabriel kept walking towards the other two, who promptly handed over the bag of money and ran off into the alleyways. [color=DCDCDC][i]"You alright, miss?"[/i][/color] Gabriel said, not minding the big thug getting up behind him. He turned to the girl whom the gang had harassed. [color=DCDCDC][i]"Some people ought to learn of manners, eh?"[/i][/color] He handed over the bag of coins to her, then turned to the big thug who had just gotten up from his embarassing trip. He was going to open his mouth and start sputtering insults, but Gabriel silenced him quickly with an angry look. [color=DCDCDC][i]"You should know better than to intrude on my territory, dog."[/i][/color] he said, staring him down. The big man stayed silent, but soon frowned and scurried away. [i]"Our alpha will hear of this!"[/i] he hisses as he leaves. Gabriel sighs. [color=DCDCDC][i]"These alleys are usually safe. I'm sorry you had to be harassed by those asses."[/i][/color] he said and turned back to the girl. [color=DCDCDC][i]"I'm Gabriel."[/i][/color]
