Final Life *New*
flid:
The overhead street lamp barely illuminated the dark musty alleyway. It was virtually impossible to see further than a few feet ahead.
A man stood at the foot of the alley. His long silver hair almost grey as the dismal shadows stretched across him. He didn’t need light to see, his burning ember eyes cut through the dark like a hot knife in butter. The alley ahead of him deserted all except a stray cat that was rummaging through the trashcan for any morsel of food it could find.
The man took an effortless, but heavy step foreword into the darkness, the cat stopped, turned, and hissed. Its fur spiking up in harsh peaks as it back its way into a darker corner.
He would have hissed backed and had a little fun, but there was no time. There were deadlines to meet if everything was to go as planned.
Ignoring the cat, he bent down and placed the limp unconscious body on the damp ground.
“Its nearly time my friend.” He said and the deep velvet of his voice still heard even though he spoke in a whisper.
“You were so mean to that guy.” Said Amanda.
“Oh come on, he deserved it. What with his stupid last century top and his cheesy chat up lines.” Said Dani. “Heaven must be missing an angle tonight.”
Both girls laughed at Dani’s impression of the guy.
“Yeah ok so he was an idiot, but still—”
“Mandy don’t be such an old woman.”
Amanda paused and slowed down, she gripped a little harder on Dani’s arm that was linked with hers. “Did you hear that?”
Dani rolled her eyes and sighed. “It was nothing, just probably some horny alley cat waiting to get laid.”
“No I’m serious listen.”
They both stopped. Amanda’s eyes were wide as she listened and scanned the area.”
“It’s nothing.”
“No, no.” she said. “Listen. Again. Over there.” And she pointed over to the alley at the back of the restaurant.
Dani stepped forward, loosening her arm from Amanda’s, but Amanda caught her top and pulled her back.
“What are you doing?” asked Amanda.
“Going to look.”
“Are you mad? It could be anyone. Let’s go back and walk round.”
“Yeah right, it takes ages to walk that way, I want to get home and to bed. I told you it’ll be some damn cat, and I’m damned if I am going to let it make me walk miles to get home.”
Amanda reached out and took Dani’s hand in hers. “Better a long walk than dead in an alley.”
“Now you’re over reacting. It’ll turn out to be nothing, I’ll show you.”
“It doesn’t sound like a cat.”
“Come on I’ll show you.”
Dani let go of Amanda’s hand and was out of reach before she had time to react.
“Don’t Dani—”
“Oh crap. Amanda you better get over here.”
“I aint coming no where near.” She said as she wrapped her arms around herself, even though she wasn’t cold.
“Oh come on, there’s nothing—” Dani pretended to scream and choke herself. The thin heal of her shoe caught in a crack in the ground and she fell backwards.
“Dani!” Amanda rushed over to the alley. Dani sat on the ground rubbing her ankle.
“What is it?”
“Dani burst into laughter even though her ankle hurt like hell. “The look on your face.” She said struggling to speak.
“Your not funny.”
“Nope, but you are.” Dani continued laughing and Amanda folded her arms.
The silver haired man smiled as he watched them. Keeping his eyes black as the night. This was going just as he planned.
Dani and Amanda hadn’t noticed the body on the ground next to them and they both screamed as his hand rested lightly on Dani’s leg.
