William stepped into the afternoon sun, school had just let out and he was headed home. With a quick glance in his book bag to make sure he had the books he needed for his homework, he placed on his sunglasses and headed out.

'Ugh, Why am I here again?' William glanced around the packed club. Being new to town he had heard the 'Scene' was The Bronze. On arrival he instantly realized it was dingier than some of the clubs he had been to in London. But at least those had decent bands, these glorified 'garage bands' were giving him a bloody headache.

With a deep sigh William raised his glass to his lips, but it froze in mid rise. His eyes were glued to a red haired goddess walking steadily across the dance floor and straight towards the bar he was leaning on. He placed his glass on the table, lest he drop it and make a fool out of himself in front of this creature.

She walked up to the bar and leaned upon it, waiting for the bar tender to return. She glanced to her left when she felt eyes on her. She smiled at the shy boy, "Hello, pussycat." The red haired vixen placed a very pale hand on his on the bar.

A chill ran down William's back. Her hands were like ice. He tried to speak, "'ello, pet." His British accent more prominent in his nervousness. William was bewildered, normally he was cool and calculating with girls, but something about the look in this ones eyes, he felt like a mouse cornered by a cat.

"Well, brit boy, how's about a dance?" The girl took his hand and led him to the dance floor. He noticed two guys standing on the outskirts of the floor watching their every move. 'Her bodyguards?' he puzzled. He felt her pull him closer as the music turned into a slow song. She laid her head on his shoulder as he lead them through a slow dance. William decided to puzzle over the toughs later, right now he wanted to concentrate on the amazing girl in his arms.

As suddenly as their dance began it ended. She lifted her head from his shoulder, looked into his blue eyes with a look William couldn't quite figure out. Then got on tip toe placed a chaste kiss on his warm cheek. With a dramatic flip of her red hair. She strode off of the dance floor to the toughs at the edge. Leaving a very bewildered William still standing frozen on the dance floor.

Regaining his senses William quickly hurried out of the club in the direction and the toughs had taken. But once outside he saw no sign of them. With a confused shrug of his shoulders William headed home. Thoughts of the red haired goddess in his mind. He didn't even know her name.
