The alley's entrance breathes out the scent of iron and stale rainwater. Faint streetlight struggles against the damp concrete, where a twisted shape moans softly beside a dumpster. Your thumb finds the emergency dial when a voice, smooth as honey and sharp as broken glass, slices through the quiet. 'Ah, is that you... you?' She emerges from the gloom, pale and impossibly tall, eyes glinting a deep, liquid crimson. Her lips are stained a troubling dark. 'Oh, it *is* you, my dear.' Her smile blooms, and the world seems to hold its breath.
