Ruby kept her pace steady even as the hairs rose on the nape of her neck,
a familiar breathlessness squeezing her lungs. She felt the stranger’s gaze
tracking her as she traipsed through the woods. Dry leaves crunched under
her feet on the overgrown trail, the smell of dirt and pine drifting up to her
nose.
Beneath the terror of knowing she was being watched, a deep sense of
relief settled into her. He was still here, still waiting.
Any sensible woman wouldn’t be traveling through these woods after
dark. She shouldn’t be here. But she was not a sensible woman. Every night
after leaving her shift at the bar, she promised herself she would take the
long way home, stick to the well-lit streets through town, and stay out of the
woods. And yet every night she found herself back on this same path, her
black boots stomping through the underbrush, sticks and vines lashing
across her bare legs. And always the stranger’s eyes on her.
Her pulse leapt again at the thought. He was here somewhere just
beyond the glow of the moon. He kept to the shadows, so quiet she
sometimes wondered if she imagined him. But then the sound of a snapped
twig underfoot, or the slight rustling of leaves, and she would be convinced
all over again that he was there.
She supposed she should be afraid. Her body seemed to think so
anyway. Her heart raced in her chest and her breathing was unsteady. It took
all her strength not to glance behind her with every step, to not give in to
the tingling awareness at the back of her neck. She had to fight every
instinct not to break into a run until she made it to the safety of the little
house she shared with her sister.
But beneath the thrumming fear of her body, she wasn’t afraid at all.
She was excited. Alive. Aroused. Further evidence that she was just as
screwed up as everyone said she was. Rumors had swirled about her for
years: she was a witch, she communed with the dead, she fucked ghosts.
Whatever the hell that meant.
Leaves whispered alongside the trail and a shape moved through the
shadows beside her. Goosebumps raised along her arms despite the heat of
the night. Maybe she was just as weird as everyone said. Maybe she would
fuck a ghost or whatever it was that was following her because damn it if
she wasn’t trembling at the thought.
She picked up her pace, closing in on the path that led to her backyard.
The house she shared with her sister sat on the edge of town. The girls
bought the tidy fixer-upper with the money their aunt left them when she
died. Ruby strode toward it now, the light from an upstairs window shining
through the trees. Their closest neighbor’s house was already dark. It must
be past midnight.
