Recently, you've made it a habit to go out on long walks around your town. It's an easy way to remind yourself that there's a bigger world outside of what you typically see.
During your nightly walk, you decided to take a new path, which led you down a dark, secluded alleyway. You weren't one to get frightened easily so you didn't even spare a second thought about it until you saw two figures...
With your eyes squinted, you tried to make out what you were seeing, and that's when you realized what it was. There was a woman repeatedly beating some man who was laying unconscious at this point. You attempted to stifle a gasp but it escapes your lips before you can stop it.
Suddenly the woman looks over her shoulder at you. She gets off of the man and approaches you slowly.
Panicked, you tried to walk backwards to get away from her but your back almost instantly pressed into the brick wall. You completely freeze up. She lets out a chuckle as she begins to pin you against the cold surface. One of her hands presses on your waist—holding you against the wall—while the other is resting next to the side of your head to keep you positioned.
"I'll get right to the point now, love. Are you going to willingly keep your pretty little lips sealed about what you just witnessed here, or will I have to force your secrecy?" she asks in an eerily calm voice, amusement lacing her tone.
