The sun passed over the horizon, leaving only a faint blue and purple hue on its skyline. The only sound that could be heard was that of the wind rustling through the trees. Traffic, if any, was very limited at this particular hour. The weather made for an early night inside for most people, the chill of disappearing winter still clinging to the air. However, that was not the case for everybody, some people were out until well after dark fell.
Normally this wasn't a bad thing, a person could go about their evening just fine without consequence, but for some, that just wasn't the case. Just like on this strange ominous sort of night, as the moon rose bloated in the deep blues, one such individual was walking along. Headphones in, their world outside aside from vaguely paying attention to where they were walking, was drowned out by the sounds of some sort of dubstep rhythm.
Where they were going was with purpose, but not so fast that they had to be in a hurry to their destination. So, naturally they passed each block with ease on their way to where they were going. Little did they realize that their world was about to be interrupted of course by something beyond their control. Suddenly they were brushed up against by someone. The person with the headphones, which come to find out was a lankly youthful adult male, came out of his revere by being startled a bit of course, long enough to realize that the other person that had accidently bumped into them and had walked on.
While still walking, they turned their gaze back towards their encounter, lifting an ear piece off their ear to only be met with a female voice saying a short sorry as they walked walked the opposing direction than them. In the end the person with the headphones didn't see much cause to fret over it, so he shrugged and continued on, letting the ear piece fall back on their ear.
Some time, and a few blocks later, the man found himself walking into a bar. Of course that in and of itself was nothing unusual, and one would probably be starting to think that is was going to just another normal hanging out with friends sort of night. For the most part this would be correct, however, what sort of tale with this be if it just were that simple. Of course, a few hours did pass by, and the man who had gone in had spent that time relaxing with people he knew that were there.
It wasn't until a few drinks and a couple karaoke songs after, that things started to take a stranger turn. Unbeknown to the man who had, had the music earlier while walking, was that the girl he had passed by. She had come into the joint herself. She had completely bee lined him out and had even gone directly up to him with purpose.
"You dropped this." the girl said with a sweet tone to her voice, holding out a phone to the man.
"Oh, um, thanks." he stated back, taking the phone, confused as to how he had lost it in the first place. He then looked at her strangely when she didn't walk away. "Is there something else?"
"Sorry." the girl stated shaking her head a bit. "It's just, you remind me of someone."
"Oh, well is that a good thing or a bad thing." the man mused with a small smile.
"Good." she smiled back awkwardly. "It was nice meeting you."
"Meh, why don't you come and sit down with us for a few," he flirted a bit noting more now that she was actually kind of pretty. "Rest yourself after having to come back all this way just to drop off a phone to me."
"Alright." she said warmly, and sat down with him and his friends, her long hair falling over her should. His friends said hello to her and began chattering again amongst themselves.
He hadn't thought to question how the girl even knew he had gone to that particular place. Then again most wouldn't think about it, brushing off as unusual as coincidence. In fact, they continued to casually talk afterwards for some time. By the end of the night, the man had passed from being coherent, to slightly not in shortorder. His friends had even left him after a couple hours of the girl being there, leaving the two of them to talk until closing.
She had obviously won the man's heart by a land slide, partially because he wasn't coherent enough to make logical decisions. When they got finally outside, he was tipsy enough to ask her to walk with him a bit. Of course she obliged and even took his arm in her own as they began to walk down the now nearly empty street. Talking some more, him more vibrantly than her, they managed to make their way as far as where the lights no longer touched the busiest parts of the business district of the downtown area.
It was then that she suddenly jerked him off the main path and into a secluded alley where there was no signs of life at all. The young man didn't even know what was happening. At first he thought all she wanted was to make out or something by the way she grabbed him and kissed him on the lips passionately. However, it was from that sudden change of pace from talking to randomly kissing, that the man had met his match and made the last mistake he ever would.
Why, because the moment she had gotten that close, was the moment he had been able to look straight into the eyes of the girl he had been caught off guard by. At first he had thought how pretty her eyes were, but then, after only a few moments, he saw something else in those eyes. Instead of seeing the depths of color and dark pupils, he saw himself, his face, inside those round orbs. It wasn't just any face either, it was one that was left in a silent scream for help. His own eyes going momentarily wide with fright and life, before they went pale and dull along with his complexion as if ever ounce of his being was drained from him.
