Shards of Silver 5

She didn't get started until the afternoon. The one downside to working late hours.

The clouds where still heavy and grey but atleast no rain.

As soon she got on the DOM she felt relaxed. Free.

Just before midnight she was near the city limits and went in to a all night store to by some crisps and a soda. She had a room in a small Inn waiting for her.

Coming out from the well lit store into the night it took a few seconds for her eyes to adjust, and it was then he attacked.

Grabbing her around the neck from behind dragging her away.

He wasn't that much bigger than her but strong as an ox.

She leaned forward and pusched with her feets throwing herself backward on her assailant so they both fell, she ontop him. She was quicker. Rolled away and got up on her feet.

He looked at here and grinned. She didn't move. Waited.. Watching. When the attacke came she clawed him in the face and smothly got out or reach. She was aware. The soft wind on her skin. How her shoes where placed on the ground. The sounds around them. The next attack was a frontal. She grabbed his jacked and threw him on the ground. Her arm and claws ready to strike if

necessary.

People came running and screaming, and when she looked around the man got away but not before he hissed something to her.

The Police was soon on the scean taking her statement.

-I didn't get a great look at his face, it was just to dark. He was only about 3 inches taller than me but much heavier built. I have no clue about where he might come from because he never spoked.

-He just grabbed you out of the blue? One of the cops asked.

-Maybe he wanted crips?

-Yeah maybe. These neighbourhoods has a reputation. Sure you was only here for crisps?

-Wait aminute. I know that voice. Olivia Clare? DIDN'T YOU SING AT LIMBO last night? I was in the audience, got there late so I just heard the end.. That was an AWESOME song. The other cop was excited.

-Yeah, thats me. Glad you liked it. Haven't preformed in a while.

-So you are a celeb?

-I wouldn't say that. I sing sometimes in a small bar, otherwize I have Ghosts Radio. from nine to midnight.

-So what where you doing out here?

-I'm taking a roadtrip and was hedding to the Dörner Inn when I've decided I wanted a night snack.

-Lovely place. the second cop smiled at her.

-Well you seem fine, said the first cop.

-Yes, I was lucky.

-hmf, but don't hesitate to call the doctor if you starting to feel dizzy or any pain. Sometime the adrenaline hides the pain from injuries that might be quite severe. Otherwise there is not much we can do here. We have your statement, and the surveillance tapes won't be in until tomorrow. And we know how to get in contact with you.

-So I can continue my trip?

-Yes, But I warn you that there is probably not much we can do.. As I said, these parts have a bit of a reputation so people aren't that inclined to talk.

-He didn't get anything, and I'm not that hurt. It was probably someone looking for easy cash.

-So where are you going? the second cop asked.

-The lakes.

-Oh, then you better be careful. These storms that have hit us has made som huge damage to those parts. Roads are completely washed away in some places and there have been some forest fires due to lightning strikes.

-But the area is considered safe?

-Yes, if you know what you are doing. But there might be some difficulties navigating.

-I've been there before so I should be fine.

-Then you should probably get to the Dörner Inn and get yourself som sleep, said the first cop

-Yeh I probably should. Thank you for your help.

-No worries, said the secon cop.

-Just be careful if you are on your own. The first cope glanced at her. Next time you might not be this lucky....

Saftely at the Dörner Inn she took a hot shower, and took a look at the scrapes and  bruices that she'd got.

Those words.

What did they mean?

Working on radio she thought she could atleast almost recognise most languages, but not this.

And yet...

They felt so familiar.

She looked at her back. Not as much bruices that she had thought, but the pattern. It was more prominent now. From her head and down her back. She started to shake.

-What is happening to me?

-You are Awakening.
