This area was never exactly pretty in the late night - it had an eerie feeling to it, the street lights too dim to properly illuminate certain alleys and corners. Maybe Sakura had just watched too many creepy videos on YouTube in her lifetime or something to that effect, but she could never really shake the feeling that those dark areas were just the right size for someone (or something) to hide.
The librarian nearly had to kick Sakura out. Her assignment was due soon and her own laptop was busted, currently getting fixed. ‘Boo hoo, handwrite it if you have to’ was the response she got from her professor upon explaining her situation. The words still echoed in her mind now, as she hurriedly walked home with a CHILL down her spine, the sound of her footsteps too loud to her own ears, remarkably alike to the first few seconds of a horror movie.
A shadow moved. Sakura held her keys tightly between her fingers and wondered already if taking her phone out of her pocket was a good or terrible idea. Despite the rational side of her brain screaming at her to RUN home and never look back, morbid curiosity won over and she found herself turning her head to the side. The lights were dim, but still, Sakura could see a sort of g l i s t e n that did not look like good news. Was that... Blood? Her eyes strained to try and see the figure cloaked by the shadows. Her heart beat unsteadily as she realized that might just be the last thing she would see.
