She stops and hears nothing

Pausing briefly, Melissa listened for the sudden noise she thought she heard. The silence is deafening as she stands still, then resumes walking, her heels still clicking loudly in the night.

Her tentative steps clicking along as Melissa reached the edge of the neighboring building, she turns to walk toward her apartment next door. She was getting worried about dropping the bottle of wine. Still buzzing hard from the night out, the lovely 20something was cursing to herself the decision not to change into different shoes. The heels were making her **** walk a bit challenging. Adjusting her grip on the bottle, she looked down briefly and was suddenly grabbed roughly by her long brown hair and felt the touch of cold metal on her neck.
