Y/N : Your Name.

I should just quit.

Y/N thought to herself, she wanted to work at Walmart or something. She was dreading her job tonight while she was performing for these drunk men that eyed her like wild animals, they were cheering and whistling for her and you would think that it would make a woman feel wanted but it made Y/N feel a little gross.

Thankfully, her shift was about over but it couldn't end fast enough. The club was busy tonight and bouncers was on edge, the rules was that no one could touch a woman without her consent but most of the guests didn't respect that rule.

"Shake that ass baby girl!" A man in his early twenties called out.

Y/N gladly ignored him and when the music stopped, she didn't hesitate to hurry backstage. Being backstage wasn't any better though, the girls were running around trying to get their stuff on before it was their turn to go on. Y/N noticed that Sasha was nowhere in sight.

She's probably off making extra cash.

She thought to herself while pulling off her wig. She was more than ready to go home.

"Are you going home?" A woman named Alexa asked. She was twenty seven years old, engaged to a man in a band that hasn't kicked off yet and already has a two year old son named Carson. She was new here, started her first night yesterday. She was beautiful though, long natural blonde hair with pink tips and blue eyes and her curves were to die for. Everyone could say that Y/N envied her. "Yes I am." She replied, pulling her shirt over her head. "But I'll be back tomorrow at eight."

Alexa smiled, nodding her head. She didn't have a lot of friends here yet, but Y/N was one of them.

"Good, because I don't want to be here all alone!"

Y/N laughed while wiggling her butt into her skinny jeans. "Don't worry I'll be back. Promise." She grabbed her purse and her jacket. "Bye girls."

The weather outside was miserable. The wind was blowing at twenty miles per hour, rain fell from the black sky and the temperature felt like thirty five degrees. Y/N ran to her car and hopped inside without hesitation just so she didn't get wet.

She started the ignition and immediately turned on the heater, trying to get warmed up before driving away. She knew that she would need to stop at the grocery store and pick up toilet paper and shampoo before making her way home and she knew the perfect place.

There was a little grocery store three miles from there, it wasn't a Walmart but it was good enough for her and as cheap as well. She drove to the store while singing along to some familiar songs on the radio. The grocery store was pretty much empty, only two employees worked the checkout lines and four other employees restocked the shelves in silence.

It took her a minute or two to find toilet paper but when she did, she grabbed the package of four rolls too quickly and knocked two other onto the ground. She tried her best to catch them but before they could fall to the hard floor, time around her slowed down.

The puzzled look on her face was completely visible, she was actually frightened to move or touch the toilet paper until a very bright golden light began shining behind her and caused her shadow to appear on the wall. She swallowed hard and turned around, using her hand to protect her eyes.

The golden light was brighter than the sun and it hurt a lot worse than looking directly at the sun, she thought that her eyeballs would melt if she put her hand down. "Who's there?" Y/N asked out loud. No one answered but she could tell that something was moving inside the light. "I can't see you because of that light!"
