Seen too much (Alastor x OC)

Mary On

In the middle of the vibrant dancing floor, I gracefully traversed the space, observing as a gentleman indulged in sips of whisky, yet remained captivated by the swirling forms of the flappers as they danced with abandon.

Though surrounded by others, I found myself alone, moving to the rhythm with an unrestrained joy. The fringes of my flapper dress mirrored my every step, swaying in perfect harmony with the melody, as if echoing the happiness that filled my soul.

With every swing, I forgot the life behind my breath-taking movements.

The exciting jazz played on the background of the venue, making any soul dance passionately.

Of course that even behind of the most pure happiness, was a slight hint of negativity. The feeling of eyes penetrating my over-the-knees-dress filled my radar, but, as unfortunate as it is, i was already used to it.

Catcalls were usual in this place, but as long as I can keep being this free, I don't care what any man thinks about my short dress or about my envy-attractor body.

I'm a beautiful lady, what about it? Not one single man would be able to keep up with my bullshit, that's why I don't get invited to dance as pair.

I hate dancing in pare, I feel imprisoned by what's comfortable to my pair on a dance. No, i want to dance freely, that's why I do it in the first place.

The rest of the night was a blast as usual. Hung out with Caroline and Bessie for a few drinks before hitting the dance floor again. 

By 11 pm, it was just me left, and with the owners closing up shop, it was time to call it a night.

I walked through the streets of new Orleans, the sky completely black, besides the bright light of the moon and the stars.

I was humming a song, which was playing at the club just an hour ago.

The streets were completely quiet, I could hear the gentle clack of my footsteps echo through the deserted street.

That was until I heard a high pitched shout, the female voice sounded to be pretty far.

Before I could think of what could be happening I started to run towards the sound. I took my shoes of to not call attention and ran bare footed to the place to find out what was causing it.

The shouts sounded kind of muffled and rough, as if she was trying really hard to shout, asking for help. Panic filled my brain and adrenaline took over my body. 

Suddenly, the shouts stopped and now I could hear someone coughing and choking, the sound was very clear so I knew I was close to the woman. 

I couldn't see anyone around me, the street still being desert as it was before. Until, suddenly a light shush echoed through my head. 

The sound was clear and i looked to the place in which it had come from. 

A dark alley came to view, I gasped quietly but ten put my hand on my mouth to keep myself quiet. I got close to the place, hiding myself on the side of the wall.

The shouting and chocking sounds had faded now being only small whimpers.

"there, there, it's done. Now you can pay for your sins." I heard the whisper of a male voice, my eyes widened as reality struck me.

Am I witnessing a murder?

My hands, which were holding my dress, started to trembling. My attempt to calm myself had failed when my trembling hands started to squeeze the dress tightly, I could feel my nails on my palms, reaching the point of causing myself pain.
