Part Seven: Night

******

The dim street lamps left an eerily illuminated pathway on the city streets of downtown London as I walked home to my bed-sit not far from the store. The night was foggy and had a surreal quality that sent shivers of pleasure down my spine and across my skin. It was dramatically cooler then it had been during the day and the brisk night air felt delicious against my skin. With a deep breath that filled me to my core I released al of my tension and negative energies into the night.

The moon was almost full tonight and I could feel its power pumping through my bloodstream and filling me with the magick of the night. I was filled with pure sensuous energy that inspired and invited me with its opportunities. My mind, body, and soul felt free and untainted for the first time in months. I only hoped that it would last.

I often found myself missing the quiet life of the rural town I had lived in before I left America. But that type of place was missing the one thing I had always loved about the cities, the one thing that I craved right now. The nightlife. Tonight I had the perfect chance to enjoy it and I planned on having the time of my life. Wit Heero forgotten I hurried to my apartment to change.

After digging out some of my high school clothes that I amazingly still fit into and some of my old make-up and jewelry, I took a shower that threw my hair up into a flashy radical style that I had always loved as a teenager. I knew of several popular nightclubs that I wanted to scope out. Tonight I was just a pretty face that wanted to do nothing more then flirt, drink, and dance 'til dawn.
