"Bye! See you tomorrow!"
"Yeah!"
Sandra waved goodbye to her co-worker as she turned the keys in the lock to the diner. She was closing tonight and would be the last to leave. She made sure the front doors were locked properly and made her way towards the kitchens. On her way to the back she flipped the switch and the diner went from brightly lit to almost complete darkness. Stopping by her locker she quickly changed into her private clothes and headed for the door. Locking up wasn't that fun, especially walking through the dark alley behind the diner. She always felt as if someone was watching her in a way that made her skin prickle in a most discomforting way.
It seemed darker than ever tonight. Normally there weren't that many sources of light anyway, but now it was is if there hadn't been any light at all, ever. She looked nervously around a few times to make sure no-one was there. Of course she couldn't see that much but she relied on her other senses than eyes in the dark.
Setting a quick pace she moved through the darkness on her way towards the light that spilled from the street lights at the end of the alley. In broad daylight the alley felt large and short, but now it felt long and impossibly narrow.
CRACK!
Sandra immediately turned around with her heart racing in her chest. What was that? Fear blossomed up in her as she stared into the darkness trying to see something. She stood absolutely still, barely breathing to make as little sound as possible. A few minutes past, but she didn't hear anything more than sirens far away in the distance. Slowly she began moving again, feeling a little safer. That was, until she bumped in to something standing directly in her way. Or rather, it was someone.
She let out a small scream as she bumped into the other person. Beginning to apologize she looked up where the eyes would be. Her voiced died as she stared into two yellow eyes piercing the darkness.
"Slayer..." the creature hissed and moved towards her.
Sandra backed a few steps while trying to get away. Her heart was pumping so hard she thought it would jump out of her chest any minute. Still, she could feel the adrenaline rush as she moved towards the creature swinging her backpack as fast as she could. It hit the creatures head, or whatever it was, with such a force it went flying into one of the building walls. Not waiting to see what would happen next Sandra ran through the alley, and continued to run until she came home to her apartment. She locked her door and sank to her knees crying. She was frightened but still remembered the adrenaline rush. And that scared her even more than the unknown creature.
