Where we left off:
"Finally!" She stopped,clutching her rap sack while panting. Her surroundings were not familiar to her. It was a dark alley with crooked houses and flickering lightbulbs. The grass on the houses front lawns had also grown wild with unkemptness. Vera took all of her surroundings in. Suddenly, a flick of a tail caught her attention. "What the....?"she wondered out loud as she followed that tail. It led her to a house, the most forlorn looking one . She saw the flick of the tail again, this time coming from the house.

Before she could finish her question, the creature zgripped her arm. Blood went pouring out from the wound , soaking her blue blouse in red.But she managed to dodged, excusing further wounds. After that , everything went black.
