Introduction

Um dia estou lidando com crianças birrentas e pais que trabalham demais para realmente serem pais, no dia seguinte minha vida vira de cabeça para baixo e estou trabalhando em um bar para seres sobrenaturais. Talvez eu não saiba como preparar drinks, mas estranhamente as habilidades necessárias para lidar com crianças malcomportadas parecem funcionar bem o suficiente com vampiros, lobisomens e até bruxas. A boa notícia é que esse trabalho é interessante e, ei, meu chefe pode ser um demônio, mas tenho certeza de que sob todas as expressões rabugentas ele é um total bonzinho. A má notícia é que os humanos não deveriam saber sobre toda essa magia, então agora estou magicamente ligada a este bar até conseguir convencê-los de que não vou sair contando para todo mundo. Ou eu morro, o que vier primeiro. Infelizmente, morrer está parecendo cada vez mais provável porque alguém está atrás de mim. Não sei quem nem por que, mas são perigosos e têm magia. Então farei o meu melhor para sobreviver, e se isso significa passar um tempo extra com meu chefe assustador mas lindo, que assim seja. Vou convencê-lo a confiar em mim, mesmo que seja a última coisa que eu faça.

Chapter 1

Existem muitas experiências que a maioria das mulheres consideraria ser praticamente universal. Uma dessas experiências é ter que andar em algum lugar depois do anoitecer. É uma experiência angustiante na maioria das vezes.

Você segura nervosamente suas chaves, olhando ao redor, tentando manter-se nas áreas bem iluminadas e evitar qualquer pessoa na rua. O problema é que não há outras pessoas nesta rua. Por que isso é um problema?

Bem, é um problema porque se eu sou a única pessoa nesta rua, por que consigo ouvir outro par de passos atrás de mim? Estou em alerta máximo, olhando ao redor cautelosamente, mas não consigo ver ninguém. Eu apresso o passo e ando um pouco mais rápido, relutante em correr com medo de que alguém me persiga. Será estranho eu assumir que os passos são de alguém me seguindo? Talvez. Mas simplesmente não consigo me livrar desse sentimento.

Algumas vezes hoje, enquanto eu estava trabalhando no jardim de infância local, senti que estavam me observando, mas toda vez uma criança começava a chorar ou brigar e eu esquecia disso. Mas agora, enquanto estou indo para casa no escuro, todas essas vezes voltam à minha mente. Por que diabos o Sr. Rollinson teve que se atrasar tanto para buscar sua filha? Normalmente chego em casa antes de escurecer. Moro a apenas alguns minutos do meu local de trabalho. Mas hoje ele ligou e disse que estava atrasado.

Sendo a membro mais nova e menos experiente da equipe, fui eu quem ficou esperando por ele para que a criança pudesse ir para casa e eu pudesse trancar depois. Como resultado, estou indo para casa no escuro. Deveria ter chamado um uber ou algo assim, mas não quis gastar o dinheiro, achei que era uma caminhada tão curta afinal. Quando o uber chegasse, eu provavelmente já estaria em casa! Bem, estou me arrependendo dessa decisão agora. Faço uma rápida avaliação mental da minha situação. Estou a cerca de dez minutos de casa.

Talvez menos se eu correr, mas nunca fui muito atlética e tenho asma, então correr provavelmente acabaria mal. Não tenho muitas formas de me defender, apenas minhas chaves que já estou segurando, minha bolsa e minha marmita vazia. Meus sapatos são botas pretas de salto baixo, o que é bom para me movimentar pelo menos.

Tem que ter bons sapatos para correr atrás de crianças o dia todo. Meus jeans e camiseta rosa bebê com o logo colorido do jardim de infância não ajudam a passar despercebida ou me esconder, mas talvez seja minha única escolha. Meu cabelo castanho comprido está preso em um rabo de cavalo solto com uma leve ondulação nas pontas. Estava cacheado quando saí de casa esta manhã, mas não durou o dia todo.

É um pensamento tão sem sentido para se ter agora. Ainda assim, pelo menos meu cabelo está fora do caminho, embora de repente esteja imaginando todas as maneiras como um rabo de cavalo poderia ser um problema. Será mais fácil para um agressor puxar meu cabelo se ele estiver preso ou solto? Isso realmente parece ser o tipo de coisa que deveríamos aprender na escola.

Talvez eu possa ligar para alguém pedindo ajuda, mas para quem? A polícia? Demoraria uma eternidade para eles chegarem aqui, seria mais rápido correr para casa. Além disso, o que vou dizer? ACHO que PODE haver alguém na mesma rua que eu e ASSUMO que estão me seguindo?

Sim, duvido que viriam com pressa. Eu poderia tentar ligar para o meu irmão Ryland. Ele viria se eu pedisse, mas ele é bombeiro e está de plantão noturno hoje. O que significa que ele está lidando com uma emergência OU está na estação de bombeiros. Ele levaria tanto tempo para chegar quanto a polícia.

Ok, novo plano. Está escuro, mas não é TÃO tarde. Talvez haja uma loja ou empresa aberta por perto onde eu possa entrar rapidamente. Em algum lugar com pessoas onde eu possa ficar até que essa pessoa vá embora. Ou até eu poder chamar um uber para me levar o resto do caminho para casa. Procuro ao redor, mas todos os prédios ao meu redor parecem escuros.

Merda, merda, merda! Viro sem pensar para a direita por uma rua lateral. Não estou mais indo para casa, mas tenho certeza de que há um posto de gasolina ou algo assim por aqui. Não me importo com o que seja neste momento, contanto que esteja bem iluminado e tenha pessoas.

Só continuo andando um pouco mais antes de perceber que virar foi um erro. Claramente, eu errei o caminho. As ruas estão ficando mais escuras e não há sinal de um posto de serviço. Os passos atrás de mim estão se aproximando.

Meu coração está acelerado e estou suando demais para uma noite tão fresca. Eu ando mais rápido e consigo sentir meu rabo de cavalo balançando em meus ombros. Meu peito está apertado, seja por asma ou ansiedade, talvez uma combinação dos dois.

Provavelmente deveria usar meu inalador, mas não estou disposta a parar e catar algo na minha bolsa agora. Os passos atrás de mim estão tão altos, arrisco um olhar rápido para trás e finalmente consigo vê-lo. Um homem alto e magro. Ele parece meio desleixado, com cabelos desgrenhados e uma doentia. Fazemos contato visual e seus olhos devem pegar a luz de algum lugar, pois brilham de uma cor amarela estranha.

O homem sorri para mim e apressa o passo, se aproximando de mim. É isso, não adianta fingir que não o vi. Começo a correr, segurando minha bolsa e marmita no peito. Estou em pânico, não consigo respirar e acho que posso estar perdida. Tudo está escuro e não faço ideia para onde ir. Estou considerando bater em uma porta aleatória e gritar por ajuda quando ouço.

Lá embaixo à minha direita, consigo ouvir música. Não sei exatamente onde é, mas viro imediatamente para a direita e sigo naquela direção. Meus pulmões estão queimando e me sinto um pouco tonta. Não acho que esteja recebendo oxigênio suficiente, mas continuo. A música fica mais alta. Consigo ver o prédio de onde está vindo, as luzes estão acesas nas janelas. Corro em direção a ele e puxo a porta, mas ela não abre.

Maldição, a porta está trancada! Claro que está trancada, é a parte de trás do prédio. Corri por um beco sem verificar de que lado do prédio estava. E agora, gênio que sou, estou presa em um beco sem saída sem ter para onde ir. Será que o despistei? Me viro e grito quando percebo que ele está a apenas alguns metros de distância e se aproximando constantemente.

O brilho amarelo está de volta em seus olhos. Não sei mais o que fazer, então jogo minha marmita nele. É bastante inútil. Ele a joga para longe e rosna para mim. Hã? Rosna? Quem diabos rosna para as pessoas? Seguro minhas chaves, segurando-as na frente de mim como uma arma.

Uma arma inútil e sem sentido que não vai me servir para nada porque mal consigo respirar agora, muito menos lutar contra um cara que provavelmente é uma cabeça mais alto do que eu. Ele dá mais um passo em minha direção e entra na luz que vem da janela do prédio e agora tenho certeza de que não estou recebendo oxigênio suficiente porque algo não está certo aqui.

O que eu pensava ser bochechas afundadas e uma palidez doentia é na verdade um rosto completamente deformado coberto de pelos acinzentados. Na verdade, o corpo inteiro do homem tem pedaços de pelo por toda parte, como um cachorro doente que perdeu metade de seu pelo. Aposto que esse cara tem pulgas ou algo assim. Ele sorri para mim novamente, absorvendo meu horror, e agora consigo ver seus dentes, ou devo dizer presas. O que diabos ele é? Grito com todas as minhas forças e com a mão que não está segurando as chaves, bato na porta atrás de mim.

"ALGUÉM ME DEIXE ENTRAR. POR FAVOR ME AJUDE. POR FAVOR! EU PRECISO DE AJUDA, EU FAÇO QUALQUER COISA POR FAVOR!" Grito em desespero. A criatura estende a mão para mim. Eu o atinjo com as chaves, mas ele segura meu pulso e me puxa para frente. Sinto algo mordendo meu pulso e vejo seus dedos com garras enquanto tiram sangue. Não consigo respirar, é demais. Minha visão está embaçando. Estou prestes a morrer em um beco sem saída e meu último pensamento é desejar que o Sr. Rollinson não tivesse se atrasado tanto.
