"That moonlight that shines on me at dawn, It's still the same as then. A lot changed in my life, but that moonlight is still the same."

Through the hazy smoke of my cigarette, I watch her as she approached the dull beige buildings where we live. Her eyes looked towards my apartment instead of her own, rewarding me with a warm feeling for all the time I spent gazing out my window. I stepped back making sure she didn't catch me spying on her as I watched her slip into her door. Soon she would take little Molly out and I wanted to be there to bump into her again.Somehow I knew something was going to happen. A tingly feeling came over me when I had a presentiment. If something happens to her, I could not forgive myself. Instinctively I knew I had to save this girl. My whole life was leading up to this. I am lost in this world with nothing holding me here, but this nagging feeling that I must change her fate. I want to be good. I want to find my path and return home, but the voices in my head tell me the path is chosen for me and I am doomed to make the same mistakes. I am my own worst enemy.
I was tired of looking at the sky waiting for a sign of what I'm supposed to do. I have no one. My life here on earth feels like endless boredom, the hours ticking away ever so slowly until what? My debt is paid? What was my great sin? I don't know, thus the reason for the endless hours spent gazing at the moon in search of my lost memories. I looked forward to a little adventure watching my lovely Jina.
She came out of her apartment but without the dog. I admired her sexy figure in a body-hugging white mini-dress and chunky black boots. I wondered where she was going dressed so hot till I noticed the canvas bag she carried, probably her laundry. Maybe she got pretty for me, or she is going out with him, my dark thoughts reminded me.
Staying in the shadows, I followed from a distance. There was no rush, I knew where she was headed. As I got closer to the laundromat, I stopped by a dark alley to smoke a cigarette. Taking a long drag the sweet smoke relaxing me as I leaned on the side of the building. It was a solitary quiet night but I knew that there were threats hidden around us just waiting for an unwary soul. The observant artist in me taking in the details of my surroundings. That's when I heard it. Her muffled scream. I dropped my cigarette and ran hoping I was not too late due to my dalliance with this habit.
Before I laid eyes on him, I heard the guy threaten her. The thought of this guy hurting her made the rage rise inside me.
"Let go of her!" I growled.
The hooded male wasted no time running away when he saw the red of my eyes and the menacing tone to my voice.
"Didn't I warn you not to be out alone!" I couldn't help reminding her of my warning. I didn't know how I knew, I just did. I had no control over this mysterious gift.
The second I looked at her my gaze softened from one of menace to that of concern. She looked fragile and scared and the panic in her eyes tore at my heart. All I wanted was to protect her. She was sliding to the ground about to faint when I caught her in my arms.
