Vol 2- The lost heir .
-ONE YEAR LATER-
Meredith adjusted her handbag on her shoulder as she blew out air. She had closed from work late and unfortunately she wasn't getting any taxi so she decided to walk.
Atlas had left earlier with Ace to solve some issues and she didn't want to bother him.
"I will be fine." She muttered to assured herself
Fleeting footsteps behind her drew her attention. She turned quickly, curious to see who was following her on the pavement, but there was no one in sight, the road was busy as cars rushed past her.
She continued to walk, but a sense of discomfort
pricked the back of her neck as she heard the faint
crunch of gravel and the sound of snapping twigs.
Meredith stopped and looked back again, scanning around but everyone was going on about their business and she was the only one walking on the pavement.
Unease roiled in her stomach. She hurried her steps and breathed a sigh of relief when she finally reached her neighborhood.
