( Nova's POV)
I was walking home from work listening to my favorite song ( above) at around 9 PM . My boss normally tells me to lock up the shop by around 8:50 PM but someone wanted to stay an extra 10 minutes to talk to me and get coffee before going home. I have never seen the person in our cafe before, probably new to the neighborhood or something. I was walking through an alleyway that I normally took to get home faster. The moonlight didn't hit the alleyway, it was always dark and different rodents lurked in areas like this. I was never afraid of the rodents though I was afraid of much worst. I never really knew why, but every time I walked through the alleyway and I got close to the end, I felt a presence, it wasn't bad nor good it was kinda in-between. It's like someone or something was after me but wasn't. Normally, I would rush through the alleyway just incase my hunch was right and I was going to get kidnapped but this time...this time I..didn't. I couldn't ..well I mean I could but, I just didn't want to. My curiosity was taking over me in every possible way. As I slowly walked through the alleyway I heard my name being called. " Nova.... Nova....where are you going so late huh, Hunny? " The voice sounded so ... familiar. I thought to myself "Where have I heard this voice before?" I mean, I hear a lot of voices everyday at work and I pride myself on remembering most of them, but I don't know who this is. I guess the voice is new but the only person I met today was... Then I heard a loud crash. I got scared and started sprinting and I heard loud footsteps behind me like someone was running as well. I wasn't sure though, but I sure was not staying in the alleyway to find out. I rushed out of the alleyway which took the wind out of me because I was gasping for urgent air. I looked into the alleyway and saw a tall figure and before it left my view it said " I'll get you next time my love." MY LOVE?!?!?! I was completely aghast. I was going to file a complaint to the head of the police department and tell them to get people that will do there jobs correctly and by correctly I mean people that are going to patrol different creepy areas like alleyways so people like ME don't get FOLLOWED!
Well, I got home can't say safe and sound but, I made it back alive. I was looking for my keys in my pockets and then looked in my bag to see the in one of the corners. I took it out, to then put the key in the key whole and then I felt a tap on my shoulder. "AH!" I shrieked and turned around swiftly. Then I saw him. The boy that stayed an extra 10 minutes at the cafe. He was just standing there at first and when he got a good look at my face he looked surprised. "Are you the girl that works at Cafe Minnie?"
