First Encounter
'Oh boy… this is more amusing than I thought!'
From where I stood, I could feel the fear of the young woman a few meters from me.
I had been observing her from a distance as she pointlessly scoured the building for any semblance of supplies, only to be met by disappointment.
Finally, she collapsed to her knees and was breathing heavily. I quickly surmised that her exhaustion had finally caught up to her.
'This is my chance!' My mind rang.
In a few moments, I closed our distance and approached her from the stairs she was close to. I knew that by moving any closer, I would come within the range of her sensory perception, so I braced myself for what was to come.
I had already made the correct preparations. Changing my attire, and smearing all sorts of dirt on my face, while also roughening my hair to appear unkempt, I grinned excitedly.
As I took a step forward, I sensed her entering a state of alertness.
