It was dark out, a little past 8PM. The street lights were lit, and one lone street with many small shops still open. Oliver's Pawn Shop, in particular was still open, surprisingly.<a class="postlink" href="http://www.deviantart.com/art/RL-commission-98e-297358254">Oliver</a>, was a man in his mid 20's who works at his father's shop. He was also a close friend to a girl named Lillith and her father, Tonight was one of those nights supposedly. But, Oliver didn't mind, because they were close friends, practically family. "Good to see you Mr. Kyrkov" Oliver cheered, giving a smile. "What have you stopped by today for? Was it that antique pocket watch? I've saved it for you in case you stopped by. Boy, there were big offers on it, but your a good friend, sir." During that time, when it was still dark out, though the lights outside were lit, and the only thing you could see through the window was a couple of cars, headlights bright going by.<br/><br/>And along down the street, was an alleyway, a dark one at that. Trash bags lined down it in heaps, scraps of paper, glass beer bottles scattered the ground. And but one figure remained in that alleyway, it stood about 5'7" and looked rather funny. It had a human like shape, for sure, but it's legs looked a bit funny. Horse like almost, with the sight in the dark you'd think it was a werewolf. But it had 3 fingers on each hand, it's body almost tree like with thick branches entwined around it. It's chest, glowed a little pink, where it's heart would be. The creature had 4 eyes, a mouth. The 'skin' on it appeared to look like smoothed out bark from a tree, while the extra branches seemed to extend out a bit from it's head.<br/><br/>The figure was walking down the alleyway, which was actually a shortcut through the  neighborhoods. Though nobody went down that alleyway so it was perfectly safe, well, if you count the figure standing there, maybe not. In fact, you'd hardly see it with it being so dark. The figure wandered out of the alleyway, and started to walk right past the front window, since it was dark, it was difficult to get a good look at it. But the glowing chest surely did show in the darkness.
