Silence of the night

The woman's ears were twisted on her skull, her dark chocolate fur rustling in the wind as it brushed against her slender frame. The smell of the male intruded into Hala's mind, lingering there. She retreated into the shadows to avoid being detected by the moon. Suddenly, she heard the brute chuckle, a sinister sound that indicated he was nearby but not too close. With a slight smirk, Stephen spoke through Hala, "The world is dead, just like us. Heartbeats mean nothing to me. But please, entertain me with your thoughts."

Hala silently cursed Stephen as the two men talked. It was just small talk, nothing more. She didn't like the acquaintance this stranger brought. "Please state your business, as some of us are too busy to entertain a despicable creature like you," Stephen taunted. Hala regained her focus after Stephen spoke. She knew she would have to move elsewhere, something she really didn't want to do.

Hala angrily muttered "Fucking moron." to Stephen as he allowed her to focus, her eyes free from the fog of dissociation. She could hear the cold, bitter laugh of the male voice in her mind. Stephen was a unique individual, not many appreciated him or his way of speaking. It was her time now, to try and figure out the intentions of this unknown male.

It was a very easy task, but she didn't have any interest in doing it. However, she knew it had to be done.
