Tabitha strolled through The City of the Lake, her steps relaxed. She whistled as she walked, checking out the sights casually, enjoying the feel of the sun's warmth. Beneath the lake's surface, a few curious fish (attracted by the ever so soft thuds of her steps) followed her.
Suddenly, the pink haired girl paused, and the fish scattered. Her body tensed up as the feeling of being watched fell upon her. "Someone there?" Slowly, she looked back, finding naught but the entrance to an alley. Cautiously, she peeked around the corner into said alley.
"Just my imagination, I guess." She continued to peer down the alley, her brown eyes curious. "Odd that I didn't notice this when I walked by."
Pristine described the structures lining the street she had been strolling down. This alley, though, stood in contrast. Its cerulean buildings appeared older (more weathered) but possessed their own charm.
Tabitha stepped into the alley, an odd sensation coming over her. The place felt strange (wrong even). Shivering, she turned to leave but quickly found a problem with that plan. Instead of finding the street she had expected, she just found more alley (alley as far as the eye could see).
She stood there dumbfounded, blinking her brown eyes in confusion. The place began feeling much more foreboding (much more creepy). She shivered, finding the weathered look of the buildings more ominous than charming at this point. Hoping to find a way out, she started down the alley.
