The Woman in Black || Henry → Chiaki
It was late on a Friday night, so naturally Henry had taken to the city. Classes were out, and he felt like a million dollars. He was dressed nice enough for the bar scene, sporting a casual pair of jeans, t-shirt and a snapback. Henry wasn't one for fancy, and so, owned nothing of the sorts.
It had to of been around midnight for sure when Henry found himself walking the not so empty streets. It came as no surprise to him anymore, considering that Friday nights back home were constantly busy too.
Henry grew up in Toronto, and so, was used to walking around with caution. His hands were in his pockets, gripping his phone and wallet for safe measures. He didn't know how good of pickpockets the Korean's could be, but he knew the kids back home were phenomenal.
And so, his steps were quick and careful as to not draw attention to himself, because if there really was someone out tonight, he was most certainly going to be their prime target. He looked around him to see that almost everyone else was walking in pairs, and that's when it dawned on him that perhaps he should have left the bar with someone else.
Despite how cautious he had been all night, Henry was starting to feel tired and felt that taking a short cut back to the university was a good idea. And so, he took a left turn down an alley way -- one that he's walked many times before at various times of the day, and had yet to have a problem with it.
Tonight was different than those other nights however. Henry soon heard footsteps and obnoxious whispers trailing close behind him, and that's when he sighed to himself. He should have known better. He kept with his current pace, not wanting to address the group that was behind him, because really, he just wanted to get home, throw on one pyjamas and crack open one last beer before he called it a night.
He kept walking, but their footsteps got louder, closer. Henry gulped, and pulled his hands from his pockets, because he knew that if he had to, he was going to need his fists. He didn't dare turn around though, figuring it was better to not know just how many of them were behind him. Though, knowing what you were going to be going up against was always a good thing to know too, and so, he cocked his head to the side to see if he could get a better look at them, and found that it was a group of at least four of them.
"Well shit." He muttered under his breath, and wondered why he had to take the alley with all of the twists and turns. Sure, it was definitely a short cut back to the university than walking main street, but walking main street seemed like such a good idea right about now.
