Johnny's POV
Johnny was walking down the streets towards the 24/7. He knew that the Wall needed another coat of "paint" soon, and he was not all that curious to find out what was behind it.
There was hardly anyone out here and he would have to snatch up an innocent. However, people have done wrong and will do wrong at some point in their lives. It'll be easier to be rid of them now.
There was a young woman walking in front of him, humming softly to herself. She stopped briefly and turned around to stare at Johnny. She had light tan skin, and two large strawberry-blonde puffs at the sides of her head. There were two long pieces of straight hair hanging down the sides of her face, past her chin. She would have to do.
She turned back around and picked up her pace. Johnny pulled out his knife and quickened his pace. The woman tensed up, sensing something was wrong. She turned around just in time to see Johnny lift the end-part of his knife in the air. He was going to knock her out with it, but she promptly fainted instead. Johnny put his knife back in his boot and began dragging her to his car, which wasn't very far away. He needed to hurry up if he was going to kill her and feed the wall her blood before it escaped.
Juliet's POV
Juliet was on her way to work at her new job at the 24/7. She didn't feel safe going out at ALL in the nighttime and just knew this was going to mess up her regular sleeping patterns. Her mother insisted that she should find herself a job as soon as she moved into the house. It was sort of hard living on her own without her parents there to guide her in the right direction. She just knew she was going to mess this up somehow.
Once she was finished with brushing her hair, she took the stairs two at a time, grabbed her green sweatshirt and ran out the door. Then she headed towards the 24/7.
It felt way too quiet, too horror story like for her tastes. So she began humming quietly to fill the deathly silence. The town was a rundown, scary looking place enough as it was and she was a scaredy-cat type of person. Everything felt off. She could hear the soft tapping of…metal? It could be. It was the sound of metal against sidewalk. She whirled around and saw a man about her height walking along at a steady pace. He looked...creepy. He had wild looking black-blue hair with pale yellow skin. He wore black and white clothing that fit his extremely thin frame. His boots were rather interesting, in fact….OH GOD IS THAT DRIED BLOOD?
Juliet turned back around and walked quicker. If he was just some innocent Goth kid or something, then she hoped she didn't offend him by doing this.
Juliet could feel the Goth Kid's presence radiate onto her, letting her know he was right behind her. Oh no. He's going to do something to me! Why me, why me, why me…Juliet turned around and saw the hilt of a knife raised in the air. In one split second, Juliet had fainted.
