Siren Song 157 Malicious Inten

Chang struggled through the crowd as the flas.h.i.+ng colored lights became a disorienting distraction as she tried to make it to the exit. As she pushed through people, it felt like the heat was smothering her and playing with her heart making it flutter uncontrollably. Clutching her chest she staggered wide eyed, feeling choked.

After pus.h.i.+ng through the crowd she was finally able to see the neon glow of the exit sign, and made her way to it in a panicked rush.

'I need fresh air now!'

As she made her way out, she didnt notice the pairs of eyes watching her. They had been watching her from when she was on the dance floor to when she made her hasty retreat. After waiting a few minutes to ensure disa.s.sociation they exited the bar as well.

Once outside the cold helped and she gratefully drew in lungfulls of the air. Chang felt better, but only a moment before she was racked with a revolt from her stomach. Stumbling to around the corner Chang grasped onto the wall trying had not to get her stomachs contents onto her dress or hair.

Heaving Chang wiped her sour mouth with the back of her hand and pulled at the uncomfortable long silver dress that was sticking to her sweaty skin. After wiping her mouth with a shaky hand she brushed the sticking stray hairs from her face and jumped.

Her fingertips felt like they had electricity coursing through them, and when they brushed past her face it felt like she got a shock. Brus.h.i.+ng her face again she still felt the shock and stared at her fingers in surprise before touching herself in different places. Enjoying the feeling of the lingering pleasure she brushed her bare arms, while leaning on the wall with her hip for stability.

"What is happening to me? Am I hallucinating from having too much to drink? Is this a symptom of blood alcohol poisoning?"

Muttering to herself Chang continued to brush her fingers against her bare skin before stopping and frowning at the last thought said out loud.

"I need to go to the hospital and get help." Gritting her teeth Chang held onto the stuccoed wall and tried to get out of the half crouch she seemed to be stuck in.

As she looked up the dark long walkway played with her eyes. The long stretching darkness seemed to go on forever and was getting increasingly larger, almost rus.h.i.+ng on her.

"No, not the darkness again. Stay away, stay away. Jian.." Chang closed her eyes and whispered to herself trying to convince herself it wasn't real, it was just a memory trying to haunt her. Thinking of the memory though also made her think of him and she wished he would appear and save her from the looming darkness again.

Holding onto the wall with her eyes closed Chang heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind her and turned to look, tears in her eyes.

In front of a lamppost behind her stood a man. The man was tall and well built, but other than that she couldn't see anything as the light from behind cast darkness on his face

Even though the man was faceless from the darkness, the light cast from befind him gave him an unwordly appearance, almost celestial like a guardian angel. She wasn't sure if she imagined it but it seemed like he was smiling and was starting to reach out towards her, ready to pull her away from the darkness to safety.

Crying out she leaped towards him and away from the looming darkness and buried her face in his chest.

"Jian..Jian.. Jian..."

Liang Jian Amal looked at the old man beside him incredulously, drawing his brows down.

"You know I wanted to do this with your blessing as one of her last living family members, but if you continue to stand between us I will find a way to go around you. I will not stop until I hear it from her herself that she does not wish to see me anymore."

"I will not allow that, you may have power where you are from, but here it is different. Leave my grand-fille alone."

The two men sized eachother up not noticing the figure in a powder blue suit making his way to then hurriedly.
