"What do you want with me?" My voice shook with fear, standing before me was death reincarnated. A man who could ruin me within a moment. His silhouette loomed menacingly against the dimly lit alley, the stench of blood thick in the air, mingling with the acrid scent of fear. Blood coated his irritated face, trickling down from a gash on his forehead, a grim testament to the violence that had transpired moments ago. Not a sound fell from his lips, just his eyes, cold and unyielding, staring into mine with an intensity that sent shivers down my spine. I stood frozen in place, paralyzed by the weight of his gaze and the gravity of the situation. Every instinct screamed at me to run, to flee from this specter of death that stood before me, but something held me rooted to the spot, unable to tear my eyes away from his haunting stare.
He took a deliberate step closer, his movements deliberate and calculated, each footfall echoing ominously in the desolate alleyway. His presence seemed to suffocate the air around us, enveloping me in a cocoon of dread and apprehension. "I want nothing, although," he finally uttered, his voice a low, gravelly whisper that sent chills down my spine. The words hung in the air like a dark promise, laden with a sense of foreboding that sent a shiver down my spine. I swallowed hard, my throat dry and constricted with fear, as I struggled to find my voice. But before I could think of a response, he tilted his head slightly, a faint hint of amusement flickering in his eyes.
"Bit late for a night walk in the city, don't you think darling?"
