Hey guys! Long time no see? I told you I wouldn't be writing for Winx for a while, and well someone wanted another story from me so I've been working to conjure something up. First chapter is short, I know but it is an introduction, I just want to know if you are truly interested and if so I am willing to write this Winx Club story.
Disclaimer: I do not own Winx Club. Sorry.
In the Shadows
Chapter One
I watched her brush her bangs out of her eyes as she looked around suspiciously, unknown that she was going to be my next victim. She couldn't see me, no one ever saw me, I was a great hider, unlike them. I watched the blonde pier over her shoulder one last time before she jogged crossed the street, hands mashed into her pockets, but you should never run like that. It slows you down and you'll hurt yourself worse if you trip, but that's okay, it just makes things so much easier for me.
I stepped out of the shadows and into the dim light behind her. "Forgetting something?"
She jumped before turning around, hands still tucked securely in her trench coat. Her eyes instantly went from nervous to relieved as she watched her purse dangling from my index finger.
She smiled, she trusted me, which was another mistake made by her and not by me. "Oh, I guess I did. Thanks."
"You know, Miss Stella, it's very dangerous for young women like you to be roaming around alone at these hours."
She unhooked the bag from my hand and nodded as she hung it over her shoulder. "Yes, I am aware, but I'm fine."
I nodded my head. "Sure, sure." She turned around, stuffing her hands back into her pockets, but I was not going to let her get away. She quickly walked away, hair bouncing as she scanned around, being cautious and careful, but, obviously not too careful.
I gave her time, gave her distance since she last saw me before I made my move. I knew what to do, and some might say I was an expert at this, by some, meaning myself. Of course no one really cared about technique other than myself. They all want me caught, behind bars, but I rather be free and lurking in the shadows like I am right now. Being caught was not an option to mem those people were just going to have to wait. Clearly no one is trying hard enough to catch me anyway, otherwise, I wouldn't be here targeting my prey like a hungry lion.
I jumped behind her under the streetlight, stuffing a cloth against her nose and lips and waited until the vapors did its job, feeling her body go loose into my arms. I dropped the rag onto the ground like I always do before I disappeared under the streetlight with the unconscious body in my arms, and just like everyone knew, I would not return until I would be searching for my next victim. Maybe next time it wouldn't be that easy. Maybe next time it'll be fun.
One thing was certain, Princess Stella of Solaria would never be seen again.
Please, let me know what you think. I was aiming to write this chapter with kind of a creepy tone, but I'm not sure if I succeeded or not. If I do continue, chapters will be a lot longer than this, promise! Thanks for reading! (:
