POV Milena

You put the phone in your pocket.

"God, what's gotten into him? He's so weird sometimes."

You agree to meet early in the morning to spend more time together. More private time. You had a medium bag on your shoulder carrying a gift for both of you, but mostly for you.

"Ah I can't wait to wear what I ordered, I'm sure he'll love it."

You grabbed your cheeks and started shaking your head from side to side.

"God, I'm so horny."

You wore black tights and a thigh-length black skirt, light shoes on your feet, on top you were just wearing a white t-shirt. Despite the heat you still wore tights because you loved the way they enveloped your skin. Your golden-colored hair was gathered into a ponytail. With one hand you held up your sunglasses.

You were walking in the shade of the buildings, there was not a cloud in the sky, and you didn't want to get too much sun, so you kept to the shady side. But it was almost noon and the sun was in the zenith. Standing at a traffic light in the sun you grimaced, you did not like to sweat, especially in pantyhose, but that was the price of your love for them.

It was still about a mile to Karl, and you were already a little soaked, in every way. The street you were walking on was on the sunny side. Wiping the sweat from your forehead you saw a dark alleyway.

"I'll just cool off here for a while and then I'll move on."

Following you into the alley was a woman with golden hair. She was breathing heavily leaning against the wall; she was dressed as if she had been walking from a jog. Droplets of sweat could be seen on her shoulders.

"Whew, hot day today, huh?" - The woman asked.

You flinched in surprise. She stood staring at the floor.

"Y-yes... it's hot" you looked up at the sky. That was a mistake.

"And what about y..."

The woman shoved you sharply in the chest with her hand and you hit your head on the brick wall. The elastic band flew off your head and your golden hair fell down. Your eyes went white for a moment, and the next second she turned your back to her, covering your mouth with her hand she began to pull you deeper into the nooks and crannies. You didn't have time, and you couldn't scream anymore.

"It hurts so much..."

When you opened your eyes you were somewhere deep in the yard. A woman walked toward you, still covering your mouth, and finally showing her face. Goosebumps ran through you. There was a manic smile on her face and big wide-open eyes that had no life in them.

"I won't be ceremonious this time..."

Tears streamed from your eyes, your limbs barely moved, the bag with the gift had long since been lying on the ground somewhere. The thought of something being done to you now, of seeing Karl for the last time a week ago, and you never got to try out your gift.

"Please... don't..." you muttered.
