Crown Castle Episode 2

Episode 2

Tia

"I need that letter!"

I raced after the runaway letter as it swirled round and round in the air until it finally came to a stop...

...right at the feet of a man who appeared from the alleyway, his silver hair gleaming brightly even in the twilight.

Tia

(Oh, thank goodness!)

Tia

"Pardon me, that's mine...!"

Red-eyed Man

"...... "

I rushed over to the man, who kindly stooped down to pick up the letter for me.

Red-eyed Man

"There you are, milady."

All he did was offer me the letter, but I was captivated by both his otherworldly beauty and the elegance of his movements.

Tia

"...Thank you."

Red-eyed Man

"You're quite welcome."

Tia

(Wait, his eyes are bright red. Almost like...)

...Blood.

The dark alleyway, his extended palm, his blood-red eyes...

All of it together threatened to sweep me away to somewhere other than reality. Somewhere dark, forbidden, thrilling...

Red-eyed Man

"Only two more deliveries, eh?"

Tia

"...Pardon?"

His voice snapped me back to reality, the noises of London's hustle and bustle rushing back in all at once.

Tia

"My apologies, sir. I got lost in my thoughts..."

Red-eyed Man

"You should hurry. The sun will be setting soon."

He murmured softly as he brushed past me, then disappeared into the crowd of people.

The faint sweet scent of roses lingered in the air as he walked away and, for some reason, it made my heart pound.
