Scathed

Scathed 1st chapter coming out on May 7th, EST

Synopsis
I glance left and right and dart down the deserted alley. The convention was right below me, and the thumps of the music every so now and then sidetracked me from why I was really here. Get in, get out, I tell myself. ''Don’t get lost in the void. ''I laugh at myself.

This would be anything but quick.

Arabelle creeps in after me, her black figure stealthy and flexible. “Coast is clear,” I whisper. “I’m heading down. Stay on the lookout until I find our inside man.”

If I was even gifted with the opportunity of having an inside man. All Arabelle knows is that there's a rave going on down there, and she wants in.

Arabelle’s light eyes, almost as if dusted with silver shine, seem to glisten with excitement. “Look out initiated,” she whispers and slinks off to a nearby hideaway.

“Updates,” I remind through my earpiece. “I’m going in.”

Carefully, I remove my silent shoes and put on some party heels, and replace my skin-hugging black top with a loose sparkly dress and a pair of large hoop earrings. I bring my hair down into its natural curly form and put on some dashing red lipstick.

Time to party.
