Forever Yours

.15

The sky cracked.

The thunder rolled around like a beast, splitting the sky in two. The downpour had to be the ugliest the city had ever seen. Weather forecasters kept urging people to stay at home . The winds were wrecking havoc!

But the rain, the weather. .it had no effect on her.

Drenched to her bones, she kept walking forward on the dark pavement. Her eyes were glassy, one would think she rose from the dead. Her pale skin stood out against the wet fabric of her shirt. Her hair felt heavy. Her lips dry . .

There was hardly any person, any car on the road.

The rain frowned upon her but with an empty head , she kept going against the wind.

Emma had no place to go.

The front resembled a well while the back a hell. She was stuck in the middle. .not knowing what she could survive?

Sometimes you have to pick between bad and worse. .

He did what he wanted.

She couldn't help but think this over and over again. He never wanted her in the first place. Always looked down upon her like an insect who had lost its way. .

It was over now. .the bitter smile on her face could split any beating heart but apparently not his. .

All she wanted was a safe house she could hide in until she moved into an apartment. Until she could stand on her own feet.

The chill in her heart was stronger then the one outside. The dread kept spreading. . reminding her she had nowhere to go to. No one to ask for help. No one to pay her expanses. .

Is she going to end up begging on streets?

Just as she walked with her zombie like pace ,her heart in shambles over the darkly lit pavement. The only light coming was from the street lights casting yellow light. .but due to the heavy rain it kept zapping.

Glitching like in horror movie.

Emma didn't notice the two men hidden under the shade. Watching her doomed state. The leer in their eyes palpable as they glanced at each other.

Knowing well their hunt was coming there way.

One of them decided to step out from under the shade. His worn out overcoat giving him a cheap appearance. The hair matted to his forehead as he licked his lower lip. . checking out the delicate girl.

"She seems good enough for tonight." He said over his shoulder to his companion.

He was rewarded with a smirk.

"You first." Came the dirty reply.

He nodded stiffly. Wrapping his coat around himself . . feeling the cold all of sudden . His hunt was strange. .since she kept moving forward without an ounce of shivering.

So absent from her surroundings, she didn't notice the short sturdy man walking towards her .

Nearing her with each step.

The light kept going in and out.

One second you could see him.

And the next he would disappear in the dark.

He was ten feet apart from her. . rubbing his hands, he couldn't wait to get to her. Have her wrap around his—

A sudden light flooded the streets nearly blinding him. An SUV swerved around—the tires crunching  in the water as it stopped right beside the girl.
