|Personality|

As a small girl, she had many memories of painted footprints and clay in her hair. Her early life was filled with her mother's projects and stories of her homeland and the great City of Lights. She was indulged in whatever artistic fancy she had. Windows would be covered in little blue dots, chalk flowers would trail down the sidewalk, little origami cranes would pop up in the cupboards... Her father was absent. An editor for a large publisher, he was more serious and sober. After the initial thrill of her parents' courtship, they parted ways, leaving Pascale in the middle. Having nothing in common with her father, she was often ignored. She later began searching for his approval in all the wrong places.

It was her friend that offered her stability. He was the voice of reason, the old soul, and gave her what her family could not. They were inseparable and spent most of their time getting into and out of trouble. When he died, she carried the weight of blame with her. Her bright personality and curiosity became destructive. She began pushing herself further, taking bigger risks, chasing after the monsters in the dark.

|History|

In a great clash of metal and flashing lights, Pascale's life ended. She was fourteen. Too smart for her own good, too clever to play the game, too young to know better... She was a wild thing, running free with only the wind in her hair. And in the untempered city of New York, it was the perfect place for a wolf. One night, she took a friend of hers to a concert. After sneaking through the back, they spent the night jumping over people's heads to catch the view and singing loudly along to bands they had never heard of. It was one in the morning by the time they had stumbled from the venue. Both groaned as their bus had zipped past them. It was then an older classmate came to them, staggering and laughing. He was impressed by their moxie and offered them a ride. Pascale had been riding high on rebellion and agreed but her friend shook his head. "No, we can walk," he said, taking her arm. But Pascale would not be swayed. If she had known, if she had paid attention, she would have seen the bloodshot eyes and stink of alcohol on his breath. Instead, she and her friend got into the car that night.

It happened so fast. Something came out of nowhere; a tree, another car, a bus, she couldn't say. But suddenly she was thrust forward like a ragdoll; glass shards falling like rain around her. Metal crunched and wheels screeched. The driver cursed in a panic. Her friend was silent. They spun around until they hit a wall and then there was nothing. When she woke up, she was in a hospital bed and her friend was in the morgue. The wild thing had been broken. Her parents tried to console her. They took her to therapy. But nothing could convince her that she hadn't killed her best friend. She had been put into support groups and forced to move to the suburbs. But the desire for self-destruction had taken root and grew strong with her guilt.

At eighteen, she returned to New York. She drifted from place to place, taking odd jobs that would suit her restless personality. She drifted from one lover to the next, looking for an absolution that would never come. Pascale settled for her turbulent existence until one day she had come across someone she'd never hoped to see again. It was her friend, back from the grave. She was too stunned to speak but as he turned the corner, she broke into a run. She never caught up with him but it sent her on a journey; bringing herself back to life.

So begins...

How long had she been awake? A day? A week? An hour? One day slid into the next seamlessly. Nothing every changed. When Pascale moved to the city, she expected so much more. It was chaos breeding chaos and yet it was all the same shit she had left behind. Maybe it wasn't the city. Maybe it was her. Maybe she didn't care. With a flick of her wrist, she lit the cigarette hanging limply from her lips. A quick intake of breath and she released a puff of smoke that lingered in the air around her. Through the smoke, she saw a figure down the street. Her back slammed against the glass window of a deli. Behind her the cashier yelled at her unintelligibly. The cigarette sizzled at her feet. Cursing under her breath, she slid into the alley with a loud scrape of her heels.

Peering out, she watched the figure walk down the street, carrying bagels and coffee and whistling. He looked older than she had seen him last... and more alive. But it was him. The same build, the walk, the same damn whistle... But how? She watched him walk into an apartment complex and she broke into a run. A car honked, causing her stumble and nearly spill out of her heels. With a slam on the hood and a few choice words, she regained her balance and strutted off. She tried the door to the apartment complex but it was locked. "Shit," she snapped. She had to make sure but there was no telling how long he'd be there.

With a huff, she took a step back. It was just a door. It could be picked, forced, bypassed. It was just an obstacle. She took a breath and decided to be civil. The phantom could be nothing more than a vision, a delusion. She hadn't slept. She hadn't eaten. Her night was spent with a heavy beat in her head and smoke in her eyes. Maybe it was someone else. He was dead after all. She was at the funeral. She had seen the cold stare and the un-moving lips. Maybe it was wishful thinking. It had been so long ago. A whole other life...

Her hand settled on the door, as if feeling for his presence. It was cold to the touch. Was it worth it to try? As her thoughts washed over her and her doubts gnawed at the pit of her stomach, fear threatened to pull her under. But as it did, her default setting switched on. Danger was nothing to death. Her fist beat loudly against the door. "Is someone there? Let me in!" she shouted, "I... I lost my key!" Her fist fell away as her knuckles turned red. She turned to the intercom and began pressing buttons. "Hello? I lost my key, can someone let me in?"

After a few threats and an angry exchange between an old woman and her Yorkie through an open window, Pascale stopped. With a step backwards, her heel caught in the crack of the sidewalk. She stumbled off the steps, cursing under her breath. Pascale turned away from the building, pulling a cigarette and a lighter from her purse. With a couple flicks of her wrist, she gently nursed the flame as it bit at her cigarette. She watched the world go by her on the sidewalk. It was nearly noon and lifetimes were lived right in front of her. A baby began to cry in its mother's arms as she nursed her coffee. Two children in starched uniforms ran away from their nanny. A young girl collapsed behind a dumpster in an alley with a needle in her hand. A woman screamed out of a window, throwing clothes onto a man on the sidewalk. An old man kept fumbling up the first step, never quite reaching the mark. Pascale hadn't seen a bed in nearly 24 hours.

Maybe she was seeing things. Maybe it was futile. How could she even be sure? For all she knew, she was chasing a stranger. At worst, she was chasing a ghost. She turned back to the apartment building, looking at each window for a spark of familiarity. With a sigh, the years peeled away and she was a child again. Danny was next to her, taller but non-assuming. She was in an empty classroom, digging through a teacher's desk. "No one will find out. The permanent record is a myth," She was full of revolutionary ideas like that but Danny was convinced. "They'll know. Someone will be watching for us," he insisted. She rolled her eyes and turned to the chalkboard. "No, we'll be watching them," she said and took a piece of chalk. She draw an eye on the center of the board and Danny laughed. "They'll still catch us," he said. They didn't. It was Pascale that was sent to detention. But as she sat by the window, head leaning on her arms, she saw Danny draw a large eye on the window, just for her.

She snuffed the cigarette stub beneath her foot and pulled out a tube of lipstick. She twisted the top of We have to talk and draw a large eye above the intercom. If it was Danny, he'd recognize it and maybe he'd seek her out. Pascale reapplied the shade to her lips and decided to head home, wherever that was. Some rest would clear her head.
