Chapter 6, blades

Trying not to be intimidated, Alex asked,

"Not to be rude, but who the hell are you?"

The chilling smile on the girl's face disappeared abruptly, revealing a cold, calculating expression.

"I'm here to collect you for a quick chat."

Shaking his head, Alex spoke carefully.

"Look, I don't mean to make any assumptions, but there's a free mental health clinic just down the road…"

Shhhnick! A sharp noise made him jump. Looking at the girl, he gaped in shock. Eight 3 inch blades had sprung out of the girls knuckles as if by magic (her thumbs had no blades). Author interruption: yes I know, I copied the idea from X-men!!!! It suits the character though

Cautiously, Alex licked his lips and said,

"That little chat you mentioned sounds good."

The girl smiled coldly at him but didn't move. Alex voiced his confusion.

"Well are we going? Because if we're not…"

The girl whipped around to face Alex.

"Shut up, we're waiting." She snapped.

"Who for?" Alex asked curiously.

"For me Alex." A voice said behind him.

No…it can't be… Alex thought.

He slowly turned around and stared as he saw a ghost.
