MIMICRY - Jasper Whitlock

07 - Alleyways of Angeles

Valia's POV

"Okay I like this one. It makes my boobs look nice" Jessica said in a pink gown with satin gloves.

On thursday Jess, Angela Bella and I drove down to Port Angeles in order buy the dresses. We had been here for an hour and I had already found my dress but waiting for Jessica and Angela made me wanna to run for dear life. Some guys walked by the shopwindow and whistled.

"What do girls think about this one?" asked Jessica.

"That looks great" Bella said.

"You said that about, like, the last five dresses, though" said Jessica. 

"That's because they were all pretty good" Bella responded back. 

"Maybe the color is a bit too vibrant but the cut suits you. Are there other colors?" I said trying some constructive criticism.

"Yeah I think so" she turned to the rack behind her. "Also, Valia you can leave your dress here they tailor. It's way too long for you"

"Hey it's not my fault I have the height of a garden gnome" the girls chuckled slightly "but you are right I will pick it up next week" when at the previous shop I had piked a navy blue gown. It had a V neck line and it hugged my body but the length was just impossibly long even with heels.

"You're not really into this, are you?" pointed out Angela looking at my sister who was look at her notes about the Quileutes. 

"I actually really just want to go to this bookstore" said Bella. 

"I'll go with you, you girls still have a lot of dresses to go through and I could use some fresh air" I said pointing out to the huge pile of dresses behind Jessica and Angela. 

"We'll meet you girls finish" Bella added. 

"Sure" said Angela. 

"Yeah, yeah. We'll see eachother later" said Bella, left my dress in the counter and payed the seamtress for the alteration, then leaving the shop. After asking for directions to a few elderly we managed to find the shop.

"You go in, I will walk around to make some time"

"I will call you when I finish, okay?" I simply nodded and went the other way. 

I spent a few hours roaming around looking into some food shops and the local park but soon enough it was getting dark. Bella still hadn't called so I decided to walk towards the restaurant the girls planned earlier on meeting. I decided to take a shortcut though an alley that lead to a main road but I quickly felt a very bad sensation that left goosebumps on my skin.

"I saw that dude. He was crazy, man" a clearly druken man said. I push my self again the side of the building behing some column hoping the group of men wouldn't see me.

"Yeah, he was driving like a madman" another one added.

"What a shame. The girl was really pretty we would have had a great time" the other slaughed and the third man's comment. A cat jumped from behind me and startled me, producing me to cause some noise. I didn't need to look back at the group beacuse the footsteeps gave away that they were closing on me. A man holding a beer bottle finally came into my field of few and gave a very wicked smile.

"See what we got here. It seems we are lucky after all guys" the others gazes felt upon me and I got even a worse feeling than before.

"Leave me the hell alone" I said as confident in myself as I could. The man in front extended his hand to grab my upper arm but a threatening growl could be heard behind the group. We all snapped our heads in the direction of the sound but I could only see some blond hair of the person who towered over the rest.
