Shadow Beside Me [Open]

November 13, 2008

It was a sunny day and Blanche had a job to do. But why would her boss send her here of all places. The crowds the people, Blanche hated them all, Why can't you be here Leon. she clutched her hands on the microphone her palms sweating. She was about to interview a murder. My God... her mind was racing as she looks back at the camera crew. "O-o-ok-k-k-kay." she was shaking then inhaling she thought of Leon.

Stretching out her back she was able to relieve herself. Now she could breathe and move. It was better than being thrown into fear and being frozen to the ground. And then it began...

People flurried to the courtyard as the man came out handcuffed. Flashes and people yelling questions and Blanche was in the middle of it. This was her first riot like interview when people all were on one person. Blanche would usually do one-on-one. In a small room.

It was finally over and Blanche felt better even her team was giving her good praise. Walking to her car coat clutched closer to her she feels like she should just walk a little. It wouldn't be a long walk and she did not have to be to far from her car. Plus if anything happened Blanche could always run she was the fastest girl in her school.

Now walking through the winter day she looks around looking somewhat lost. Even though she wasn't lost it was just the way she looked always. She wanted to learn more about this town.

Tracy hadn't seen much of Nathan since he became elected to be the new President of the States. Naturally she was very proud of him, very happy for him, but she knew it would take up so much of his time, and it had. She hated the fact that she was no longer his main focus, but she also knew why and she understood it, because she loved him.

Today however, she found herself going out to buy him something nice for becoming President. Normally when she was feeling like a bit of retail therapy it was for herself, but today, she was going to treat Nathan. She was looking in and out of all the shop windows. She then landed at a jewelery store, and the perfect gift fell upon her eyes.

It was a white gold black onyx signet ring. She had to take a guess on the ring size, but hopefully it would fit. Satisfied she found the perfect gift for him, she took herself off to head back home and hopefully get in contact with Nathan, so she could meet up and give him her little gift.

As she was heading toward her car, she looked up and saw someone looking like they were somewhat a little lost. Tracy, always being the ever helpful person, walked up with a smile, "Hi, you look a little lost, can I help you at all?" she asked, and looked at the woman again. She hoped she had read her correctly, because otherwise Tracy was going to feel very foolish indeed.

Her hands were locked behind her back as she walked through the streets and when a woman came near her. Jumping slightly she turned around "Oh! Oh...oh no I am not lost, this place is just new so I-I just want to look around." Blanche replied shakily at first. Looking back at the woman now actually looking at the woman. She was a beautiful blond with piercing blue eyes. And such nice features Blanche was just flustered.

She didn't realize how people were nice here and that was good to know. But Blanche knew all to well how people can change and how there are real evil people. Leon has told her that. He might be the reason for his craziness. No she could never blame someone else for her mistakes. "I'm Blanche Mourner how are you?" she asked politely. Giving Tracy a cheerful smile Blanche was trying to make new friends here.

And everyone knew how hard that is and hopefully Tracy will know that as well.

Tracy felt a little silly for getting it so wrong, she could have sworn the young lady had looked lost to her, however, Tracy was glad to find out that she wasn't lost at all, but just taking in a city she was new to.

"Oh, I see" Tracy said and then laughed a little, "I'm so sorry for getting it so wrong then" she added, right at that point Tracy could have wished the ground would swallow her up, but she knew that would be a dream which wouldn't happen, so instead, she just smiled at the woman.

Tracy smiled when the woman spoke some more and even gave her name. "Well it's lovely to meet you Blanche, I'm Tracy Strauss, and I'm actually doing very well, thank you" Tracy replied with a warm smile. It was nice to be nice, being nice didn't do anybody any harm Tracy thought. And one can certainly never have too many friends, and Tracy didn't have too many.
