With each step her eyes slowly adjusted to the dark. When cold air brushed her bare shoulders, she shivered. Just keep going, she reminded herself as hungry stares devoured her as she progressed.

When she was close enough, she saw his mouth open and close like a fish out of water. Internally smiling as shock, disbelieve, and horror played on his bronzed heart-shaped face. Eyes the colour of green grass dimmed and bright as emotions raced through him. Not nice, to be on the receiving end. She almost felt sorry for him.

“Good morning,” she greeted, as she strutted down the aisle like a model down a runway.

“Good morning.” The group greeted in a mumble.

An eerie soft growl came from her left side. Was that...? Halting for a split second, she glanced to the side. Blast this darkness! Creepy fingers traced her back. The hairs on her arms rose. Move! Her mental-self snapped. With a frown, she turned her attention back to her target. Standing like a pillar, he waited fuming. Willing her limbs to move, she started down the aisle again.

“What are you doing here?” he whispered angrily when she was close enough.

Stretching to her full height of 1.7 meters, she smiled innocently. How could I have been in love with you? You self-centred...! Alex! Her mental-self snapped. Remember what you came to do.
