Ten Years in the Past
The setting is a dark room, with no windows and only one door. A broken light bulb hangs from the center of the ceiling, swinging and flickering as a current attempts to pass a through the mangled wire. Darkness fills the average sized room, only a candle flickering in the corner breaks the madness. Shadows are cast by the warped floorboard, blood can be scene smeared about, only a portion illuminated. An eleven year old girl sits in the corner, her eyes wide with madness. The small pupils quake in her brown eyes. She clutches her face, leaving streams of crimson on her pale cheeks. She sits, crumbled on the ground, shaking. Long black locks fall around her face, drops of blood fall from their damp tips.
Heavy footsteps break the silence, as a tall man strolls into the room. The girl scrambled into the corner, holding her arms out in front of her. She screams as he reached for her, "Why are you afraid? It is I who should be afraid of you Eva...you a made quite a mess here...." The figure grips her by the hair and lifts her up off the floor. Hr body dangles in his grip, tears begin rolling down her cheeks washing away the wet stains. The black mass leans over her and grins, his white teeth flashing in the candle light.
"I can make you forget...I'll make it all go away...Would you like that Eva?"
The girl sobs, dropping a cleaver from her grip. The metallic sound hitting the pools on the ground echoed through the room. Weakly she whimpered...nodding in agreement. Without hesitation the figure recoiled, lifting his arm high in the air. Bringing it down quickly he drove his fingers into her eye socket. As she screamed the candle light flickered out.

Present day
A black cat wandered through the sidewalk, weaving between legs and bags. The students pay the stray no mind a they busily make their way fro building to building. Her toes are light as she walks, prancing down the street to turn into an alleyway behind some town homes. Her long tail flicks behind her as she turns disappears around the bend. Looking up, some lights can be seen shining through the windows. Hopping up onto a fire escape, she jumps up the bars, stopping on a nice balcony. There was nothing truly compelling the animal to stop, though once she found herself there she became rather curious. She stretches, and begins sniffing the air, walking over to sit by a glass window. An intoxicating aroma filled the air, possibly coming from the house.
The cat sits for a few minutes, staring into the warm home. A boy can be seen inside, though it appears he is alone in the large house. A nostalgic expression forms on her small furry face as she peers in, though after spotting movement inside, she quickly darts to the other side of the patio and up onto the iron post. Her tail swings back and forth, as she peers back to the door with wide eyes. An old woman exits the home spotting the the cat, she chases it down to the apartment below, where a young man is settled in reading a book. The cat leaps against the door, pawing madly, "Meow! Mer-ooow!"
The woman follows the cat down the fire escape and onto the patio, scooping it her by the scruff.
"Hey, Is this your cat?" she hollers in, knocking on the window, "Hey! This thing has been sneaking around my birdhouse! You should keep it inside..." She crosses her arms, with the one-eyes cat dangling helplessly in her grasp.
