“ Help!", She yelled out again.
She was sweating profusely.
The amount of fear she felt knew no bounds.
Her breath was getting heavy and heavy each passing second.
And then the piece of clothing suddenly snapped off.
"Aaaarrrrrgh", she yelled out.
She found herself in the air, falling to the ground in a fast motion.
She shut her eyes tightly, expecting the worst to happen.
Just then, a hand wrapped around her body frame, pulling her closer.
She slowly opened her eyes.
Her gaze met with Tanie immediately.
But there was something different about him.
His eyes were reddish.
He had two fangs which grew out of his mouth.
In a flash, they both landed their feet on the hard floor.
Charlotte stared at him, her eyes closing up and then she passed.

Nathaniel slowly laid her on the bed.
He got on his feet and pulled the duvet over her body.
He slowly placed his hand on her head.
His eyes turned reddish again.
And immediately he flashed out her memory of the night and replaced it with a false one.
“ Stay safe”, With one last glance at her, he walked out.
MORNING
8:40am.
Lottte's eyes slowly opened up.
She could feel a banging headache.
She slowly sat up holding on to her banging head.
"Bang!", The heard another knock coming from outside.
She suddenly remembered the reason she actually woke up.
She slowly got on her feet and headed for the door.
She opened it sowly letting out a soft yawn.
“ Good morning to you too princess”, Tanie smiled.
Lottie eyes suddenly widened staring him.
She suddenly slammed the door shut against his face.
"Gosh!", She pushed her hair backwards.
“ What to do.. What to do..”, She walked to and fro.
“ Yes!", She suddenly smiled.
Almost immediately she ran up the stairs in a hurry.
**
Tanie took his gaze to his watch.
"It is passed two hours already", He sighed briefly.
“ I wonder what's taking her so long?", He pondered.
**
"Finally”, Lottie breathe out grabbing the cup of coffee.
She grabbed the remote, putting on the Tv.
She sipped a bit from her coffee and slowly arranged her purse.
She was swapping between both continuously.
"Breaking news: Just in. The Financial chief manager of conglomerate, Mr. Johnson found hanging in a public bathroom; dead".
"Mr . Johnson?", She suddenly took her to the T.V.
Her eyes widened at the picture before her eyes.
Almost immediately the coffee cup dropped from her hand, landing on the floor with a loud thud, shattering into pieces.
The door was suddenly snapped open with Tanie bursting in.
Lotties slowlybpointed her hand at the T.V.
“ They killed him”, She stuttered.
" Who?", Tanie asked.
Lottie slowly took his gaze to him.
The suddenly grabbed her purse.
“ Drive me to the Company", She said.
“ Okay?", Tanie said rather unsure.
**
The car. slowly pulled off in the park.
Tanie took his gaze to Lottie.
"We are here”, He informed.
"Oh!" Little jolted out of her trace.
She opened the car door and slowly alighted.
"Wait in here, I will be right back," She said, before walking away.
"I'm I some sort of a bodyguard now?", Tanie mumbled.
Lottie walked slowly toward the company, taking the lift.
The lift slowly opened up after what seemed like forever.
“ Good morning ma'am”, She kept receiving greetings which she blatantly ignored.
Her focus on a particular office.
“ The Financial chief manager's”, She pushed the office door backwards.
She went straight to the tables pouring everything on the floors.
Revealing an hidden phone with twelve digit number.
She quickly punched in the numbers.
The table made a beep sound and then it slowly pathed in halves.
Lottie stared at the parted table, it was no longer there.
Her eyes widened.
Her thoughts traveling back to the public bathroom scene she saw on the T. V.
She could swear she saw it there.
“ I need to be there before anyone else”, She quickly punched in the pin once again.
The table closed up almost immediately, looking like a normal table again.
Lottie walked out of the office almost immediately, talking the lift.
She got back to the parking lot in no time.
“ You are back”, Tanie beamed.
Lottie ignored him. She simply took her seat next to him.
"Take me to the public bathroom", She said.
" That public bathroom?”, Tanie asked.
“ The one on the news”, She replied.
He scrutinized her for a while.
“ Let go”, Lottie suddenly ordered.
"Okay" , Tanie rolled his eyes, bringing the car to life.
**
"I wanna go in with you this time" , Tanie joked.
"No!”, She suddenly yelled.
"Huh?”, Tanie raised his brows.
" Wait here, I would be right back”, She shut the door before walking off quickly.
“ What's up with her?”, Tanie asked no one in particular.
**
Lottie slowly walked into the bathroom. Her eyes widened staring at the view before her.
The bathroom was crystal clean as if nothing happened there.
They cleared all the evidence", She muttered.
** .
He stared at her through the computers, a sly smirk appeared on his lips.
He was the man from the night before.
"She was saved?", He seethed.
“ But who will save her now!", He laughed hysterically grabbing a battle from the table, which was boldly written on the body ‘Acid’.
**
Lottie ran her hand through her hair frustrated.
"What do I do now”, She mumbled.
She let out a brief sigh and slowly walked out of the site.
She has slowly trodden toward the parking lot.
A motorcycle suddenly drove toward her, shining headlights to her eyes, blinding her in the process.
Almost immediately, he poured the acid toward her.
Just then Tanie appeared out of nowhere, pulling her closer to him, thereby hugging her.
The acid landed right on his back.
Almost immediately the bike man drove off.
Lottie slowly opened her eyes staring at the figure before her.
“ No...No..”, She whimpered, her eyes were red already.
Tanie slowly took his gaze to her face, his breath was getting heavy.
