This happen a while ago, but it will never leave my mind, for sure.

So I was hanging out with Nerine (very out of character from me, I know), I can't remember where were we heading to but that isn't important, what is important is that we took a shortcut that went through a hill, cuz I just had found about it and nothing happened when I went through it by myself.

The view once you got to the top was so nice we decided to take a little break to just enjoy the view.

We couldn't enjoy it for long tho, because the bushes behind us started to rustle, and form them a homeless man emerged, he was standing right were we came from, so we were kinda trapped.

After getting out of the bushes completely, he then asked if we had any money to spare.

We didn't reply, at least I don't recall either of us doing so, what I do remember is that Nerine started to slowly back off, to which this guy noticed and replied with something along the lines of "hey don't run, if you run I'll get you"

My first thought in that moment was getting in front of Nerine so he wouldn't touch her, I was getting mentally prepared to throw hands if necessary.

As soon as Nerine found out what I was doing, she janked me into this very narrow path that was behind us.

It was full of rocks and it also was uneven as hell, I have no idea how she managed to go through this entire thing downhill without falling or even tripping once considering how fast she was going, she became a freakin mountain goat in that moment.

The homeless guy tried to give chase, shouting something I couldn't understand, but due to him wearing sandals, one of em slipped from under his feet at one point, forcing him to retreat.

In just a matter of seconds we were once again at the very bottom of the hill, for some reason Nerine was laughing uncontrollably the whole time we were getting chased.

It goes without saying, we never took that shortcut ever again.
