Ghosted.

Chapter 1.

As if getting fired wasn't enough,Canary's old bug had to break down.
"Could this night get any worse" then the rain started to pour. "Great! Just great"

She scanned the area hoping to hitch a ride. She hated this,she hated her life, she hated everything. Having to run away from her supposedly husband in Italy and coming to new York hoping to start a life.
But that was Canary's problem. Always getting her hopes up and watching them fall over and over again.
Now she's a 21 year old living in a sorry excuse for an apartment ,with no money,no job and a psychotic husband after her head.

"Screw this" she figured that if she didn't use her legs to get home, she might end up crashing in her car.
Walking back to the parking spot at it's base,she grabbed her bag,her keys and her gun and headed for the not So safe way to her house-the alley.
Canary carried a gun around for protection. She was a good fighter but she'd be damned if she let anyone hit her again.

Cautious, she approached the dark alley. Careful not to step in any puddles. Within minutes she was walking down the road,past the houses. She seemed to be enjoying her walk until. "Ah!" She heard a scream. Her head rose a bit to the side and she saw a  young girl being manhandled.

"Please no,no, this can not be happening" she groaned.
"Anyone gonna help?" She asked as she looked round for someone to help out. "No? Oh okay"
She thought for a minute,maybe if she walked faster, she won't have to help. But then The screams got louder. She sighed and marched towards the scene. She Pulled out her gun and shot at nothing. This made the men stop in their tracks.

"Let the girl go" she said sweetly.
"Why don't you run along little girl and mind your own business"
She turned to look at the man who was the reason for this awful happening like most of the unfortunate events that cursed her life.
"Well,if you were anything next to a decent human being I wouldn't be here,would I?" She pointed her gun at him. "Now, I believe you're not deaf. Let her go"
The man laughed at her. "How about i make you a deal" he said to her.
"How about you scram and I won't blow your head off" she flashed her teeth at him.
Scoffing,he signaled the other man. "Kill her"

He lurched at her,grabbing her neck.
She kicked his groin with her knees.punching his face,she knocked him down with her elbow.
Stepping on his chest with her heels,she smiled.
"You were saying?"
But the man was gone. The Coward ran off.
She kicked the other one's stomach before approaching the girl that was attacked.

"You okay lady?" She awkwardly touched her shoulders. The girl got up and walked towards the road saying nothing..
"Um,you should be careful-" before she could complete her sentence,the girl got smashed by a bus.

She blinked a few times. Wanting to be sure it happened . Hoping it was only a figment of her imagination.
"Someone call 911!" She yelled.
But it was too late, the girl was dead.

...

Back home now,Canary couldn't believe how her night went. Poor girl's life was just taken from her. Just like that.
Dismissing the thought, she headed for the showers. That's all she needed right now. Tomorrow she would worry about her predicament.  She deserved a good night's rest.

The alarm ruthlessly rang,ripping to shreds any hope of Canary's sleep.
Groaning for the up umpteenth time,she flung her blanket across the room. Her eyes trained on the brown eyed girl staring at her.
"Arrgh! "
"Arrghhhhh!"
"Arrghhhhhhhh!"
"Why are you even yelling?!"
"I don't know!"
She grabbed the lamp and tried to hit the figure with it but ended up falling on her face.
"You can't hurt me silly" she giggled.
"Who the hell are you and how did you get into my house?" She checked the locks on her door. No sign of a break in.
"I'm Eve. The girl you saved. Well,almost. I'm a ghost now" she chirped happily.
