Standing among the blackened night sky, I shivered; small white flakes of snow falling gently down onto my skin. I stood as still as I could, yet it still kept staring at me. It's red eyes like a night light in a child's bedroom- glowing. I backed up a step, but couldn't anymore; my back was pressed against a brick wall. Trapped. Hyperventilating, I looked up only too see dull-lit windows and low roofs of Seattle, Washington. Too my left was a park, completely deserted at this time of night and in this weather. To my right, a dead end. In front of me stands a dark figure in the shadows, only her eyes were visable, and they were captavatingly vicious.
"There's no need to fret, my child," a voice rang. Like bells, the voice slipped through one ear and tangled around my brain in a mixture of floating musical notes. A woman stepped out of the shadows and into the pale moonlight of the alleyway. She was pale, as white as the snow itself, yet she was beautiful. She captivated my eyes and my concentration fell to following her features. Flowing red hair that matched the color of her eyes. She was average in size, but walked forward as if in slow motion.
"Wh- who are you?" I moaned out, eyes wide and throat dry. She continued to walk forward, testing me. I pressed back on the wall, trying to move away, but to no avail.
"You shall know soon enough," she said, and she leapt forward until she was right in front of me, her chest hardly pressed to mine, though I could already tell how cold she was in contrast to how cold I was already.
I attempted to run to the right, sprinting as fast as I could within moments, but she caught me in seconds. Twisting her hand around my wrist she turned my arm until I heard a snap and felt incredible pain. I screamed, "Ow!" I cried, tears running down my face and I fell to the ground, writhing.
She stood before me, looking down, and knelt on her knees until her red eyes were level with mine- "Welcome to the army." and she put one hand on top of my head, one hand on my shoulder, pushed my head to the side, and bit deep into my neck, her teeth slicing through my flesh like razors. Pain ensued, and fast. Fire, lava, burning toxic chemicals, and lightning all combined into one, times an unfathomable number was what it felt like. I fell flat onto my back, squeezing my eyes shut. I screamed, pressing myself to the cold ground, but that didn't help. The burning was intense. Was I dying? What kind of a death is this? What had I done to deserve this?
I slipped in and out of consciousness, trying to keep focus, but all the while that red-haired devil stood in front of me, staring.
