The icy autumn air permits a gloomy atmosphere with only the moon giving a small amount of light to guide the way. Alice watches the street in front of her covered in fog with unease suddenly a harsh wind blows the hood from her head revealing a head of silky black tresses pulling down the hood to cover her face, she makes her way down the empty of what used to be known as Copperton walking through the familiar alleyway that leads to her old residents. In her peripheral vision, the shadowy outline of a person catches her attention slowing down her strides to glance at the figure. The artificial light from the street light creates a halo over the hooded figure, only revealing the lower half of a sharp jaw and a widening smirk tilting its head up to show narrowed emerald green eyes. The time seems to suddenly slow down Alice could feel the spike in her heart rate.
They both stare at each other neither willing to look away first. The bristling of the tiny hairs on the back of Alice's neck warns her to leave quickly not sparing another glance she makes a swift turn and sprints down the alley the sound of heavy footfalls follows behind her. The echo of slow and steady clicks of combat continues to follow her as she makes a sharp turn around the corner. she stops in front of the brick wall blocking her only escape, too high to climb in a short amount of time. what could she do now? stall for time in hopes of getting past him. it was worth a try with her back facing him. she slowly turns around there was a pause in footsteps, taking a closer look at the figure reveals a black hoodie covering half of its face.
The dull lighting cast a halo over its head tilting its head slightly upward bright emerald eyes glint playfully with amusement and anger. Alice's body tenses up at his gaze, taking a deep breath the adrenaline pumping in her veins pushes her forward. she makes a dash past him only to for a sudden tug on her arm to send her crashing into a sturdy chest. An arm wraps around her waist to keep her in place struggling to break free from his embrace. The words he spoke next made her blood run cold.
