Veronica squeaked in shock as all three men suddenly disappeared, not having any idea what had happened to them.  One minute she was surrounded, the next she was all alone, only the sounds of bones snapping and breaking reaching her ears.  Her hand came up to cover her mouth to stifle the scream that threatened to emerge, not wanting to alert whomever or<em>whatever</em>it was that had done away with her would be attackers.<br/><br/>Everything inside of her was screaming for her to<em>run</em>.  To get as far away from there as fast as she could before the same fate befell her as well, but she couldn't get her feet to move.  She stood there frozen in place, to dazed to move, not even realizing that her face and hands were spattered with blood.  Her chest rising and falling with every breath, green eyes frantically searching the shadows, trying to catch a glimpse of what might await her if she couldn't get her feet to listen to her brain and get her out of that alley.
