It was closing time and Krys couldn't wait to leave. Something was bothering her and she couldn't figure it out. She hung up her apron and put her name tag in its pocket. Christina. How she hated that name! Krys shut the lights and walked out, waving goodbye to the owner. "See you tomorrow Sakura. Have a nice day. Give baby Aito-chan a hug and kiss from me." She smiled and left.
Krys left in a hurry. Not that she had anything to do, but she just wanted to get home. Maybe have a nice hot shower, grab something to eat and watch TV. She walked fast, hurrying through the lanes of the city. She kept thinking all the while, pondering at what could be bothering her. Her parents? Nope. She didn't care any more. Work seemed fine. She liked her new apartment. Plus with no room mate any more she had the whole place to herself. She liked it, being alone. She didn't want to pretend to be normal, and now she needn't. Then it struck her. That thing she saw. That's what was on her mind. She shook her head trying to remove it from her mind.
Krys looked around, suddenly realising that she was lost. This wasn't the way home. This neighbourhood was... poor. What is this place? How can anybody stay in such an area? It's filthy and run down. Even my apartment is nicer than this place. She looked around, unsure of where to go. Something seemed to be telling her to continue walking, maybe she would cross the area and find a place she recognised. At least she hoped she would.
She started walking faster through the area. She didn't like the feel of the place, it made her really anxious. She felt as though someone was following her, but when she turned to look there was nobody. Her heart started racing, and she was worried now. This place seems dangerous. I don't like this feeling. She looked around again. Nothing. She tried calming herself, It's fine, your going to be OK. She slowed down slightly and tried finding her way out. Left, I'm sure of it. It's like a big ol' signpost is hanging there. She turned down the lane going left, thinking of what she will find at the end of it.
