The gentle pitter-pat of rain echoed all around. Grey clouds hovered low in the sky, the streets nearly bare, and the sounds of life virtually silent. It was a gloomy day with no real promise of sunshine, but this wasn’t about to hold her back. Careful feet carried her, eyes focused on the sidewalk to avoid puddles--and to avoid slipping--as she made her way to the store. Familiar surroundings allowed her to lift her head, hands loosened around her umbrella in preparation to close it when an odd sight caught her eye. She halted to curiously gaze, concern beginning to bubble in her mind. Sitting alone on a bench sat a girl--with no umbrella too.
❛ Excuse me? Are you okay? Here————————
A hand outstretched, holding her small umbrella just high enough to protect the other from the cold precipitation. Despite now getting wet, Najika remained cheery, a friendly smile just for the stranger placed on her face.
❛ If you’re waiting for someone, you wouldn’t want to
make them worry. You can use this to stay dry, if you want.
I don’t need it and I don’t want you to get sick.
Instead of a response, or even the girl stretching out her own hand to take the umbrella, her body became limp. In a panic, Najika dropped the object to assist the girl. Arms wrapped around the other’s frame in an attempt to hold her up, amber eyes frantically studying her face. She felt her stomach drop and churn all at once, her warm complexion immediately paling at her discovery. Arms retracted, the girl’s body slumping forward on the bench just before a horrible black creature tore from it. Frozen in fear, Najika couldn’t muster up words to scream. She couldn’t tear away from the sight----her legs wouldn’t move at all! What was going on?! Large, frightening red eyes found her and the last thing she remembered was letting out a screech before everything went dark.
