The dark alley echoed with the sound of his own fleeting footsteps and his rugged breathing but he knew he was being followed.
She was in the shadows, A deadly and lethal part of the night
She was like a terrifying phantom, a dreadful demon yet so much more dangerous than both combined.
His heart pounding he continued to run Until he ran into a brick wall.
This was a dead end!
He whirled around sweat dripping from his face, his clothes clung to his body with perspiration
The moon overhead hidden by the clouds cast a dull light
But it was enough to see her, coming towards him with a predatory calm.
There was no hurry to her movements neither was there any aggression in the steps she took towards him
"Please ! " he cried out " Please! "
He plastered himself to the dirty wall trying to summon up his power in a last attempt to survive.
Though his hands trembled his power answered and he shot an orb of light out of his hands .
She swatted it away with a simple flick of her hand like it was nothing more than an annoying fly .
The only good the orb did was make her face visible to him . Devoid of emotions, a blank mask of coldness.
The face of death.
