â€¦Seriously? Youâ€™re kidding right?!...Whatâ€™s a woman gotta do for a meal around this place? Hell, the meal was ruined twice over, she was just trying to do her jobâ€¦<br/><br/>The three to four minutes this all transpired in seemed like HOURS to her. She felt as though a deer caught in the middle of an eight lane highway with a semi-truck plowing down at 100 mph. She may as well have been that deer, hell the outcome might have been better, at least, less painful.<br/><br/>Her head was swimming, the noises, the talking, the thoughts, all bouncing around in her head and ears literally was causing anxiety to the point she was speechless and almost unable to move.<br/><br/>Busted.<br/><br/>And here was the dark man offering to help. She owed him, maybe, too early and crazy to tell for sure.<br/><br/>As the noises intensified and ambulance, police cars, and a larger crowd draws around, she is aware she is being moved, and allows it for the time being. Her eyes wide, staring at the sight she caused, her focus primarily on the manâ€™s body. Those pretty eyes just werenâ€™t for looks, they could see much more than any other she was aware of could.<br/><br/>She could see his soul. It was writhing within the now deceased body, looking for a way out.<br/><br/>And once it got out, if she or another didnâ€™t do something about it, thereâ€™d be hell to pay later on. Maybe not tonight, tomorrow or even next year, but, heâ€™d be back and more than livid.<br/><br/>Her jaw slack, trying to speak as the dark man led them from the scene, she remained unblinking, eyes still wide, giving a child-like response of, â€˜butâ€¦but..butâ€¦â€™, pointing at the body. Inside she was screaming, wanting to run back to the body, to finish the job she started; but she knew better. Her common sense would win the internal battle tonight.<br/><br/>Shadows, her friends beyond the call of duty, knew of the situation and the dire need for her to be hidden. They pull from wherever they are available to move, light posts, parked vehicles, mailboxes, like a small army and writhe quickly around both her body and the dark manâ€™s in an attempt to remain anonymous and to keep the pair likewise.<br/><br/><br/>The snow begins to pick up with the winds, and as she exhales slowly, she comes to her senses. Her head hangs, eyes closing, feet moving quickly in time with the quick thinking being leading their way; she pulls her hands together and wrings them, biting harshly at her lower lip.<br/><br/>She had no idea where he was heading to, her thoughts ringing loudly in her mind about the stained soul she left behind, and at the same time trying to figure out a means to quickly find her way back to her sanctuary.<br/><br/>She failed this night, and miserably.<br/><br/>Undoubtedly, this would come back to haunt.
