The Woman

8:56 am

The door to an empty apartment opens and Michael and Hannah step in, drop the blankets and pillows and take their shoes off, and walking inside their temporary apartment. The two walk into the middle of the empty room and place their blankets and pillows on the ground. After they went to the landlord and told him about the bathroom accident, the two were told to stay in a vacant room and wait until the handle is fixed. When the man gave Michael the key to the vacant room, he told him that he would pay for the plumber, but Michael would have to pay a little extra for his rent until the landlord got his money back.

Michael looks at Hannah. "Hey Hannah, why don't you check out the rest of the apartment while I go take a leak." he said. Before looking for a response, he walks to the unexplored rooms and searches for a bathroom. When he found one, he closed the door, walks to the toilet and uses it. Once he is down, he gets off of it and pulls up his pants, flushes and goes to the sink to wash his hands. He finishes, and looks at the mirror in front of him, and puts his hands on the edge of the sink. He lets out a small sigh of relief, finally relaxing after what happened earlier.

'There is something....something...I wanna say wrong, but that's not the word I'm looking for. She did take off the handle, but maybe it was loose or something and there was what had happened last night with the mugger. He hits her and then his wrist is broken or sprained and she's perfectly fine.' he thought. "Michael, I need you to come here!" she said, getting his attention. "I'll be there in a minute Hannah." he replied. 'I really hope they notify me soon about her parents.' he thought.

He walks out of the bathroom and searches through one of the empty rooms for Hannah. "Michael!" she raised her voice to get Michael to hurry. The sound of her voice seemed to have come from where they put their things. He wipes his hands on his pants, drying them, off, and walks to where Hannah was and when Hannah saw him, she felt relieved. "Someone is knocking at the door." She told him. Michael nodded and walk to the door. "Thanks for coming." he said as he talks to the person on the other side of the door while reaching for the handle. "The handle for the bathtub came off and now there's water all over the bathroom...." he trailed off as when he opened the door, there was a woman standing there.

She was a small Asian woman, about 5'4", with straight, black hair that went down to her hip, brown eyes, and she had a beautiful face that made you think she was a model, wearing a black two-piece suit. "Hello sir, my name is Nami, and I am a private investigator or PI and I've been investigating the disappearance of a child. My investigation has led me to this place, and I was wondering if you have any information regarding this case." She informed him. "Uh, yeah I think. Quick question: What does the missing child look like?" He asks. "They're about eight years old, with blonde hair, and has a unique birthmark on the back of her head." She told him.

"Do you mind if we discuss this inside?"Michael asks as he gestures her to come inside. "Of course." She said. She enters the apartment and Michael looks outside to the left and right and closes the door. Michael walks in and sees Nami standing across from Hannah who is making her new temporary bed. "Hannah." Michael said, getting the girl's attention. Hannah looks at Nami, curious about the new person. "Hello my name is Nami, it is nice to meet you. What's your name?" she said. Hannah didn't say anything and was slowly got up and turn around and ran. Before Michael could say anything, the bathroom door was shut, leaving Michael and Nami in the room alone together.

"Shy girl." Nami stated. "I'm sorry she's not usually like this. Let me talk to her." Michael said as he starts to walk to the bathroom. He reaches the bathroom and puts his hand on the doorknob. "Michael are you there?" she said. "Is everything alright Hannah?" Michael asks, trying to reach out to Hannah. She didn't respond. "Hannah?" Michael said. She didn't respond. "Hannah, I know that Nami is a stranger, but she isn't going to hurt you. She's trying to help you find your parents, but she needs your help, alright?" Michael said trying to reassure her.

There was silence for a little bit. "Michael, she...I don't think she is a nice person." She told him. Michael was a little confused by what she said. "She is Hannah, she- "There is something wrong with her. She feels evil." Hannah interrupted. '"Feels evil" Nami comes off as kinda professional, but evil?' Michael thought. He opens his mouth to respond to Hannah. "Hannah, I promise I am not evil I just want to talk to you. Your parents have sent me to try and find you after you went missing." Nami said.

Michael jumps a little as he didn't hear Nami come up behind him. She noticed his reaction and quietly said sorry and turn her attention back to Hannah, who was still in the bathroom. "My parents? I was told they went out of town." Hannah said. "Yes, your parents were, but they came back home and they didn't see you there. They have been worried sick about you. You can see each other again, but you have to come with me." Nami told Hannah, slowly gaining her trust. Hannah opens the door, revealing herself to Nami.

Hannah looks at her with some fear in her eyes as Michael walks up to her and lends her his hand. She takes it and he leads her out of the bathroom with her right behind him. When she got out, and the three of them walk back to where the pillows and blankets are Michael stopped. "Now let's try this again. Nami this is Hannah, Hannah this is Nami. Say hi to Nami, Hannah." Michael said.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Say Hi to Nami, Hannah." Michael said. I look at Nami and a monster with the face of a bird with large pointy ears, and yellow eyes. She has black feathers coming out of the end of her selves and I can see the end of her black, feathery tail in between her legs, which were the feat of a crow. She had pitch-black, feathered wings coming from her back. Coming from her entire body was a dark purple aura that felt....evil. "See? I'm not scary, am I? She said.
