Water squeaked beneath her feet. It was drizzling outside. [Rain dropped onto Fade's hair, collecting into beads that rolled down each strand.] The red lights of Istanbul's night district pulsed [dark red shadows cast under the bumps of Fade's nose bridge. Reflections of neon signs shone in her irises.] Heavy beats of music were muffled by the rain and people's voices. Fade strode down the streets with direction, walking heavily on her feet. She turned her shoulders to avoid the beads of water falling from leaves that hung on the buildings. Looking from above, her head appeared between clustered awnings and bay windows. As she got closer to the venue, her steps slowed. Her attention jumped to her surroundings, like a cat, her eyes darted back and forth around the dark smog that started to form. But she had to get closer; to be seven meters from the club for nightmare to clearly lead her.

"Nightmare, wake up." she whispered.

The music grew louder and so did people's voices. The dark smog grew as well, the masses started to spill out of the club and moved in waves that dissipated at the edges, some of the red light shining through.

Fade smirked, "So many places to run from the dark" she said as she balled up the haunt in her hands [the dark strands brushed against her slender fingers like fine sand. When nightmare had rolled itself up, Fade's joints stuck rigid around it, the angles of her fingers casting shadows.] And she cast it. She closed her eyes and sighed, the particles of fear seeping under her skin, "but it always catches up." [The corner of her lip quirks up as she finishes her words and the red light flashed on her canine tooth.] Nightmare's purple eyes pulse into magenta and it barks. "Marked three."

Fade approaches the line to the entrance and she scoffs in annoyance [her voice coming out hoarse, like a growl]. She claws into the air as the prowler wraps itself around her arm and moves its way to her palm, where the prowler's crimson insides begin to ball up. [Fade's eyes narrow under her dark eyelids as she peers beside her, looking at her right arm that she brings behind her.] She guides prowler with her left arm and mutters, "bring them down."

"Bu da ne böyle!" the bouncer yelps, and confused voices build. Fade takes this opportunity to slip into the club.
