Andy slowed her footsteps as she neared her home, before finally she came to a stop as she saw the gathered crowd. A gentle breeze tugged at the blue dress that clung to her feminine form, a form none had seen aside from herself. She blinked her emerald eyes as brown locks of hair kissed her cheeks. After a few moments of standing at the edge of the crowd, she slipped her way through the people, only to stare at what lay in the center. She didn’t flinch, gag, or even blink. Her sharp eyes simply stared at the body. After a moment of taking in the destruction of the female, she tilted her head to the side. She’d known the woman. She lived right by her. Dead.
“Mecro.� She snarled beneath her breath, her eyes searching the crowd for him. A hatred bubbled up within her chest, before she turned away from the crowd, pushing her way through the people who believed her to be a murdered. No, who believed Andy to be a murderer, not Annabelle.
Her house was just down the street, on the second story. A few soldiers rushed past her, men she knew, and immediately she ducked her head down, stepping out of their way. They would know her face. But, then it hit her. They were coming from the direction of her house. Andy was a wanted man now. Those soldiers had probably heard about the grotesque murder. Quickly she rushed towards her house, only to see a few men still guarding the entrance. A swear slipped past her lips as she moved to stand in the alley across from her home, brushing her fingers through her hair as she gnawed on her lower lip in deep thought.
