At the front of the school, Lucy walks out alone heading towards the nearest bus stop. She just uses a plain black hoodie and dark long jeans yet she manages to break every single male student's neck that she passes. They are all mesmerized by how her silky raven hair waved gently. With her amber eyes that are sharp as an obsidian knife, she might be able to look at someone and stab them with it. Her slender body isn't that voluptuous, but it sure is attractive for most guys. Her pale smooth white skin really made her look like an angel, a cold one that is. While she walks, she doesn't look around. She only looked up front where she's heading. On the street, People are looking at her too. Some even catcalled her. Lucy ignores all of them and just walks her way towards the bus stop.
After arriving at the bus stop, she sits down and takes out a book from her bag. She reads it while she sits alone, waiting for her bus. Across the street, there's Mike and Jack who are rolling on their way to the restaurant. For the past 2 weeks, Mike and Jack always see Lucy sitting alone at the bus stop. Every time Mike sees Lucy there, he always wonders what kind of life she's living. Is she in a tight spot? Or perhaps her place is not that far and she likes to take her time. Who knows.
After reading a couple of pages, her bus arrived. Lucy closes her book and goes on the bus. In the back of the bus, there's a bunch of punk who's being loud as they talk shit to each other. Some of them can be seen holding a bottle of liquor too. Lucy ignores them and just sits at the front of the bus. Those punks notice Lucy. One of the punks wants to try to approach her and talk to her. Just as he was about to get up, one of his friends stopped him.
Punk 2: "Be patient, we'll get her when she gets off." his friend said.
The punk smiled, knowing that he and his buddies will have some fun tonight.
The streets became darker as the sun set down. The light turns on, illuminating the sidewalk. After an hour of riding the bus, Lucy finally gets off at the north of the city. She then walked to her place which is not far from there. Behind her, Lucy is being followed by the punks who already planned to get her. She is aware that she's being followed. She starts to walk faster.
Punk 1: "Hey, pretty girl, why are you walking away from us?"
Punk 3: "Don't be scared. we just want to have fun."
Lucy ignores them and walks straight into an alley. The punks followed her. It's a dead-end alley.
Punk 4: "Taking a wrong turn? You must be new here." said one of the punks.
Lucy slowly turns around and looks at them.
Punk 2: "Don't worry, we'll help get you home. But first, let us have some fun will you?" one of the punks pulled out his switchblade.
Punk 1: "Don't be afraid girl, we won't be that harsh to you. Am I right, bois?"
The punks laughed while they walked closer and closer to Lucy. Lucy just looked at them with her flat expressionless face.
Outside of the alley, there's a hobo walking on the sidewalk with his trolley, looking to pick up some gud stuff. "ARGHHH!" The hobo heard a scream from the alley. "HELP! PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP!" A guy crawled out of the alley while screaming for help. It's one of the punks. His face is covered in blood. The guy looked at the hobo. "PLEASE HELP ME!" the guy screamed as he was dragged back into the alley. Screams of agony and despair can be heard inside the alley. Suddenly all of those screams stopped. A girl suddenly walks out of the alley. It's Lucy. The hobo just looked at her while gulping his own spit. His hand and legs started to tremble as the cute and beautiful ordinary girl looked at him. Out of fear, the hobo turned around and started to run away. Just after the first step, his body suddenly freezes.
Hobo: "What the hell?" he got confused on why he can't move his body. Out of his will, his body turns around, slowly facing the girl that is already right in front of him. She just stared at the hobo with her gloomy face.
Hobo: "Please, don't hurt me, I beg you. I will never say a word to anyone about this. I just want to live." The hobo begs to Lucy. after looking at the hobo for a while. She leaves him and continues her walk. The hobo sighs relieved after he knows he just got spared.
Hobo: "Oh god, thank you lord, thank you-" Suddenly, his head snapped, instantly killing him. Without looking back, Lucy kept walking, leaving the mess that she had done.
At the restaurant.

'Damn, that serial killer needs to relax.' I think to myself while watching the news from the TV that hangs from the restaurant ceiling. Right now, I'm in my uncle's restaurant, the Ravioli. After school, I and Jack always came here to do our part-time job.
Tina: "Hey Dum-dum, have you washed the dishes yet?" Asked the little girl on the counter while she counts and sorts the money in the cash register.
Mike: "I already did it."
Tina: "How about the trash?"
Mike: "I already took all of those out too."
Tina: "Why are you still here then?"
Mike: "What do you mean?"
Tina: "Didn't you say you already took all of the trash out?"
Mike: "Haha, really funny Tina. I'll probably take out that attitude of yours too next time." Seriously this kid.
Mario: "Mike, what are you doing there? I didn't pay you to slack off." Said uncle Mario as he came in from the back door.
Mike: "I've done all of my tasks. Besides, there's no one coming to the restaurant."
Mario: "Rather than doing nothing, why don't you help me and the boys out."
Mike: "What do you want me to do?"
Mario: "I just need you to drive the boys to the north to do some business."
Mike: "What business?"
Mario: "It's just a classic trade deal. You don't have to be involved. I just want you to drive them to the port and back."
Mike: "Hmmm ... "
Mario: "I'll pay you 100 dollars."
Mike: "Ok, I'll do it."
Mario: "Alright, be sure to take Jack with you too."
Mike: "Wait, why do you want me to take Jack?"
Mario: "He would be helpful if things get bad."
Mike: "You are not sending me to a warzone aren't you?."
Mario: "Don't worry my nephew, you will be fine."
I look at my uncle with a slight doubt.
Mike: "If anything goes wrong, I want you to pay me 10 times the original offer."
Mario: "Sounds fair enough." He confidently said.
Mario: "The boys will leave at 10. Meet them at the front of the warehouse when you're ready." Uncle said as he went back outside.
Tina: "You're really stupid aren't you? I can't believe you are willing to risk your life to do his dirty work."
Mike: "Hey, as long as I get the money, I won't complain."
Tina: "I hope that money will buy you a nice coffin if you ever get killed."
I ignore her and walk up to Jack who's busy listening to his favorite music while mopping the restaurant floor. I grab his shoulder and tell him we need to go. He doesn't ask any questions and just follows me. We quickly prepare by taking off our aprons and putting on our jackets. We then get out of the restaurant through the back door and walk towards the warehouse.
