Reina looked in the Mirror. She couldn't believe that she had to work on Halloween. Everyone was having fun dressing up and she had to wait Tables. In that Moment did she notice the Clock behind her. Only five more Minutes and it wouldn't be her Problem, what was happening in the Restaurant. She fullfield one final Order. With a sigh of Relief did she went in the Storage room to change from her Uniform to her normal Cloths. If she hurried, she would be able to attend at least one Party before everyone was already to drunk for any kind of fun.
She took a final look at the Customers, before she stepped out of the Restaurant. She could have sworn, that one of the Guests was following her with his gaze. Well, she did just walk out of the Front door. So, she just booked it as a customer noticing that a waitress just walked out of her Job, before the Restaurant closed. Still, she couldn't shake the feeling, that there was still a gaze lingering on her. After crossing multiple streets, did she finally turn around and looked. There he was, standing on the Corner of a Building. Just visible enough to keep an eye on her.
Thanking her summer job for sharpening her perception, did she take a sharp corner and started to run. Only to see the Man appearing in front of her, cutting of her planned route. She changed again. Always reaching the same conclusion. Still, she was pretty close to the police station, a short burst and she would make it.
Ethan, looked around. The Weather was rather mild and he only needed a light Jacket. He decided to spent a bit of time outside and look at all the Halloween Decoration on the Houses in the Neighbourhood. Still, he was surprised how silent it was. Sure, he heard a few Trick or Treaters in the distance, but this Block seemed rather lifeless. Without thinking about, did he walk around a corner.
Reina felt something underneath her. It took her a few Moments to realise that the she ran someone over. She looked at the Boy she was sitting on, just glad it wasn't the guy that followed her. The Boy pushed her off. "A bit more careful please." he said and reached a hand out to help her back on her feet. She grabbed his hand, jumped up and dragged him along. After two more corners, did he pick on that they were being chased. He tried to grab his Phone and call for help, only to notice, that it must have fell out of his Pocket, when she landded on him.
Ethan grabbed the girls hand and changed direction. Reina got pulled along, as the Boy she was dragging along, did pull her into an Alley and behind a large Dumpster and pressed his hand on her Face, to make sure she would be silent. Both of them got quiet and startet to listen. Only for three Sets footsteps to reach the Alley, they were hiding in.
"Come on, stop this cat and mouse game. Just step out and be a good girl." An annoyed voice yelled into the darkness. Ethan looked at the scared expression in the girls eyes. He had to do something. He stoped holding her down and grabbed an old piece of Pipe and got up. "Is it really that much of a Problem, that i took a short nap?" The Three men looked at the Boy. "This has nothing to do with you. Hand her over and you can leave without any Problems." Ethan looked at the Three man and then to the dumpster. Mouthing a sorry, to the girl.
Reina couldn't believe it, sure she dragged him into that mess. But he was just selling her out after trapping her. Still, she stayed hidden and tried to just listen. She could hear him walking towards the Street. Once the boy was gone, she would be alone with those strangers. Then a loud sound orrured. She looked from her hiding spot. The Boy used the Pipe to fully deck the current leader of these three. That Stranger didn't budge a bit. He grabbed Ethan and threw him against a wall.
As Ethan fell backwards, did he saw the fear in the girls Eyes. He was more outmatched than he wanted to believe. However that wasn't going to stop him. Everytime Ethan tried to attack, did the Man grab him and threw him back. Till the Boys body was covered in Scratches and he stopped resisting the force of those guys. His vision got blurry as the Girl ran towards him.
Reina ran out and grabbed the boy. She pulled him close and kissed him, before she resigned her Fate.
