Heather sat down on the bench that was along the sidewalk and felt like she was about ready to cry. She had been walking around in circles for hours on end without any familiar signs or streets. She would've called for a taxi if she had the money. However, she had spent her money for her supper which was outrageously expensive. The people who she asked directions from told her things that confused her even more. What was worse was the fact that she couldn't remember what street her apartment was on the corner of.
She sat her elbows up on her knees and cupped her face in her hands with a glum look on her face. Staring out at the road, she watched the cars and people passing by. 'Why does this always happen to me?' she thought. She smiled at the question and its obvious answer. She never paid any attention to her surroundings which was one of her many flaws. She was that way when she was little and it was the main reason why she had trouble remembering roads when she was starting to drive.
As she stood back up, she wondered, 'well, I'm lost, in a worst place to be lost. I have no money, and it's getting dark out. So this can't possibly get any worse can it?' As she began walking, she heard the rumble of thunder and felt the cool poke of raindrops on her skin. Glancing up at the sky, she frowned as the rain fell down faster. With tears of frustration in her eyes, she walked away briskly, completely unaware that there were two strangers following her.
'Damn her…imma kick her fucking ass!' Cassi grumbled while walking down the street, making mental notes of where everything was. Keeping her hands in her jacket pockets she also noticed that the sun was setting. She glanced at her watch; it was going on 7:00. 'Hmm…I should be eating supper by now...' As if on cue, her stomach growled in protest on the fact that it hadn't been filled. Cassi closed her eyes and sighed. Damn her loyalties and love for her friends…to the depths of hell!
Cassi frowned as past events went through her mind. Her friend saying she was going to college in New York, her mother being so afraid of her leaving. Cassi had then decided to transfer to ease her mother's worries. Cassi chuckled as Heather's mother's words floated in her head; "Cassi if anything happens to her it'll be your head!"
"Tina, you always had a way of persuasion," Cassi muttered to herself about the woman. Though she was mostly a kind hearted soul, she wasn't the type of person to mess with. She was also the type you didn't want to let down on a promise either. Sighing again, Cassi turned down another street and continued to walk, stopping as the smell of hot food wafted to her nose. She turned to the smell and saw a little diner. Her stomach growled again ravenously making her put a hand over it to silence its pleas. 'Well…if I'm gonna go all over looking for her, I better get some food first.' Cassi pushed the door open and inhaled deeply. 'After all, it's always better to work on a full stomach.'
Heather stopped and turned around yet again to see no one behind her. She shivered, 'something doesn't seem right…' turning around, she began to walk again. Then those footsteps appeared yet again making her freeze in fear. Quickly she spun around again to see empty space.
"H-hello, is anyone there?" Heather called, her voice shaking slightly. "Please stop following me, whoever you are, I don't have anything you can steal so…please leave me alone." Turning around again, she went back to walking. For a while, there was no sound, and then the faint sound of the clicking shoes came from a bit farther behind than before. This time she didn't stop to look back, this time she ran. Adrenaline rushed through her system as she turned this way and that down one street and another, the footsteps behind her gaining. She thought she could've lost them until she hit an alley, a dead end alley. Wide eyed heather turned and looked wildly in the dark. Then she felt something grab her arm and did the only thing she could do, she screamed.
Raphael fumed slightly as he sat on his motorcycle, resting in one of the many alleyways of New York. He was dressed in the armor which hid his identity and let others see him as the famous vigilante, the Night watcher. He remembered the words that Donnie said before he had left and growled lowly. He didn't understand, none of them understood. Since Leo was gone, it seemed as if they just stopped being the heroes that they were supposed to be. Raph frowned as he heard a female scream an alleyway or so away. "Dat doesn't sound so good," he muttered and revved his bike engine then speeding off in the direction of the scream.
