It is a beautifully sunlit day; no wind or breeze to be felt. but there is still a bitter chill in the air. The kind that makes your heart stop. The kind that makes your bones shatter. The kind that only human blood can quench. Pushing that to the back of my mind, I look to my right. The brown-haired girl standing there smiles at me, and the first thought I have is how stunning she is. She has long, brown, slightly wavy hair which flows across her shoulders and down her back, stopping just before the crook of her elbow. She has a beautiful, deep brown skin colour, resembling fresh wet mud. These features are accompanied with a pair of beautiful, dark blue eyes. Her face is angled slightly, resembling that of a cat. She tilts her head, and the hair by her neck parts slightly, revealing an otherwise hidden secret. The hashtag and number '#296' are printed in bold black ink there. 'Interesting…' I look back up at her eyes and realise that she is wearing an amused expression. I realise that I've been staring, so I awkwardly smile back – unsure how to respond – and then quickly look away, feeling hot blood rushing to my cheeks. I look over to my left, searching for something to distract me from her. 'I don't even know where I am, what I'm doing, or why I'm here – I may never see that girl again.' Despite the situation, I can't help but feel a pang of disappointment at that realisation. I chastise myself for it. The girl on my left has short blonde hair, a pale skin tone. She snarls at me, revealing a fierce determination which lingers in her eyes. I know that she would kill me without second thought. A shiver radiates down my spine. 'It's almost as if she isn't human,' I think, my smile fading. On the right side of her neck is a line of smaller text printed in the same black ink as on the other girl's neck. They too look to be numbers, but I am unable to make out what it reads from this distance.
