The road in front of her was dark and devious ; the light from the streetlights was barely enough on a night like this when even the stars could not be seen through the dark clouds . She shivered in the cold, it was a bitter night . She pulled up the zipper on the jacket high up to her neck and pulled the scarf tighter around the neck while she tucked her hands deep into her thin pockets. Why had she not taken her gloves with her?
In those last few seconds before everything went black, all she could think about was the bitter cold and how nice it would be to come home, to be warm. If she had known that the world would soon be dark, would she then have thought differently? Would she had reflected on her life and how lonely it had become ? How she slowly had excluded her friends one by one to avoid having to tell them the truth ? Or had she perhaps looked around her properly and seen that there was more than just darkness there?
When she took that last step and felt the darkness embrace her, she thought of nothing. She did not know where she was, who she was , only that the darkness had taken her. When her head was fell hard on the gray , cold asphalt, all she saw was a white , blinding light before it all disappeared .
He leaned forward and looked at her. She looked so innocent as she lay on the ground, with the red hair spread around her like a halo. Behind her head, the blood began to spread in a round , flat circle as if someone had drawn a perfect template . He closed his eyes and smelled ; blood, mixed with her own scent of vanilla. He knew that this was meant to happen , that she should be punished for what she had done. He had received clear instructions , but right now …
Suddenly he heard footsteps behind him , approaching faster and faster. The panic came over him, who could it be? Had they found him and her? He quickly jumped into a bush next to him, ignoring the branches scratching his face . He felt his heart beat hard and sweat began to appear on his forehead. How could they have found him, he had been as careful as possible? !
