She stared at him for a long minute. He appeared to be perfect man, chiseled out of marble and brought to life. His eyes were inlaid with a topaz blue, shining with life. He had strong features, a sharp chin, slim nose, and a perfect set of teeth. His hair was a sandy blonde, brushed to the left side with a cowlick on the top of his head. His cheeks had a hint of pink and a few light freckles scattered on his forehead and nose. They were so light she didn't notice them the first time. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Steve." She thrust her hand outward and mentally chastised herself for being so rigid.

After shaking her hand his eyes fell onto the red apron that was in lying in the crook of her arms. "Oh, uh," she pulled the apron out so he could see the logo on the front, "I got a job." He lifted his eyebrows upward, he was impressed, she watched his face for any other emotion but when he looked up he caught her staring. She smiled in response hoping that her cheeks weren't burning a bright red.

"Productive day," He stepped backwards realizing he was blocking her path to her door. "I have some documentation I need to do," he scratched the back of his head, "I'll check on you after I finish." He had already started to open the door when she nodded at him.

She darted into her apartment quickly making sure not to slam the door. Her heartbeat was racing. Trying to calm it down she walked into the middle of the living room. Clicking the TV on, she noticed a black frame at the edge of her vision. She blinked a couple of times on for it to start growing inwards. Her fingers were tingling and starting to go numb. She tried to move but she couldn't feel her legs. Her vision went from horizontal to vertical as she fell to the floor. She tried to call out, make a noise in hopes Steve would hear her but nothing passed over her vocal cords. She blinked hard hoping to push the darkness away but it only engulfed her sight entirely.

She heard noise at first but it was distorted. It sounded as if she was hearing through cups of her ears. Slowly it became clearer and she started to be able to see. She blinked several times trying to clear her focus. She was on a train, she looked around but no one seemed to notice her. The voices were clear but they had some distortion at the edge, and her vision had a blue-ish tint to it. She was standing in front of a couple, they were turned towards each other laughing. "Hello?" They didn't respond, she put her hand in between them but carried on as if she wasn't there. She walked down the aisle, looking at the different people that were sitting on the train. The was an old lady with a red pea coat and black flats looking at a flyer. On the left of her was a man with headphones around his neck holding a skateboard between his knees. Then there was a person sitting in a black hoodie, sitting as far away from the other people as possible.

Charlotte crouched down to see who was hiding underneath the black cloth. Green glowing eyes stared back at her. She went to touch the person, move the hoodie to get a better look but her hands never found anything solid. They slipped right through her as if she was a ghost. Charlotte yanked her hands back towards her side slightly disturbed. Suddenly the lights started to flicker. The person's expression changed to fright. The train's tired screeched and the passengers were all thrown forward from the sudden change in momentum.

The hooded figure was the first back on their feet. There was a groaning sound behind Charlotte. Whipping around a tall grayish-brown figure stepped onto the train. He seemed to have sharp teeth and dreads that ended at his shoulders. He had a hard face and seemed extremely angry. A blue light was glowing around his fingers in his right hand. The hooded figure, who was now behind Charlotte, was yelling towards the shirtless beast. It charged toward the figure, but the beast only caught the hood of the person behind Charlotte. Ripping the hoodie off the person with the glowing green eyes, she could see that it was a female. She had blonde hair and a heart shaped face. She raised her hands up, the same green that was emitting from her eyes had surrounded her hands. An energy flew off her hand and knocked the beast backwards into the wall. Charlotte turned back towards the female was now placing her hand on the wall closest to her. A portal of sorts seemed to grow underneath her fingers. The beast he regain his balance and charged towards the blonde. Before he grabbed her she slipped through the portal, leaving the beast and citizens behind. Frustrated he punched the wall the girl had gone through. He had turned towards the four figures that were crouched in corners away from him. He snarled and jumped out of the subway.

Charlotte felt like she was on a rollercoaster. Her body was being pulled too fast in one direction. Suddenly she was back in her apartment. She was looking up at her ceiling, but she was no longer on her floor. She tried to sit up but her body felt foreign. It took more energy than it should have to sit up.

"Where were you?" She turned to her left, Steve was standing above her with his arms folded. "It's like you weren't in your body. Your eyes were white and your heartbeat was almost nonexistent."

"I don't know." His left eyebrow rose questionably. "It has never happened before."
