Astaroth could feel the budding headache behind her eyes; it was late enough in the afternoon as the fading of the rays of light hidden behind the growing clouds of the night sky. She blinked, her chest rising and falling in a deep sigh. It smelled like water, the acidic taste in her mouth dried her senses as she knew it was getting ready to rain.
"We've been walking for almost an hour. We should have just walked our asses back to the Mansion!" An impatient Five said, he was staggering behind the woman with a pained frown on his face.
"Would you shut up. It's the one with the Christmas lights up there on the right," She was piqued by his curtness. Taking another turn up ahead they both crossed the street and came across their destination.
Astaroth and Five starred up at an old apartment complex, having to walk away from the wreckage and end up all the way out here at the edge of the city's limits. Along the way, pedestrians from young to old stopped and cautiously approached the pair, concerned for the fact that Five arm was still bleeding. Dripping trails along their path, could have avoided that issue if Five would just have let Astaroth burn his wound close but much denying from him and she just gave up.
She sighed as she eyed the large complex, memories of old still fresh on her mind. "Well the entrance of the building is around the-"
All of the sudden, a sound of air wisp next to her. Turning to look where a disappeared Five was just standingbefore, it seemed he space jumped into the apartment, opening the sliding door that led to the balcony he smugly looked down upon her. Astaroth blinked rapidly before shouting, "Hey asshole! Maybe next time you should take me with you.....little shit!"
She groaned, kicking up some dirt. She began to walk around the complex and headed for the main entrance before the doors slammed open, allowing a horde of teens to leave, the scent of marijuana lingering after them. Inhaling the scent, She spotted a small, stubby boy trying to awkwardly not stare, before he was stopped by a woman who dragged him along with her down the hall. Proceeding to walk in, Ignoring the stares from the stragglers, she made her way towards the staircase and descended up to the apartment floor.
She spotted her destination at the end of the long hallways, it was automatic the way she walked down the path. Passing doors and clicking of her boots, with each step memories were pounded from the back of her mind. Some pleasant and others not so much, Reaching the door, Astaroth slowly put her hand on the knob and began turning it but it didn't budge.
After a few more jiggles she furiously banged on the door. It seemed Five didn't have manners to unlock the door.
"I swear," Astaroth began looking underneath the "Welcome" mat, with an unrelaxed breath she moved to the edge of the frame before reaching for the top until she felt something. Pulling it off from the fresh tape she smiled at her success. Putting the key into the slot she made her way in. Making sure to Lock the door behind her.
